No such a thing as a literal Lake of Fire

Therefore the adjective aionios pertains to which that is of an AGE,or
AGES

Even if this was true. How long is an "age". The ice age lasted over 2 million years.
If you're into dinosaur time-lines, the Jurassic period lasted 54 million years.
 
Rev 19:20; And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone.
Rev 20:10; And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Rev 20:14; Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
Rev 20:15; And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
Rev 21:8; "But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."

One day I suppose people might stand before God. Suppose He asks you why (or why not) do you think people will end up in the Lake of Fire?

One group of people might say... well I just didn't think you were that wicked and evil.
The other group of people would say... because the Bible says so.

Which group do you think is misrepresenting God?
 
Hi Dave, Dictionary.com

The length of time during which a being, or thing has existed;
Length of life, or existence to the time.
Aionios eternal same as everlasting, AGE.
A beginning and an end.
A period of time longer or shorter.

I can assure you, there is a very real lake of fire. After Christ came to me as a thief in the night I was suspended over the lake of fire.
I have not seen it so far. But like I said, the surface of the sun would certainly look like a lake of fire, for dis-believers who think there is no such thing.
 
Hi Jim, The thief in the night is the devil, The liar, you've been duped.

@Truthcomber, You've given a great example of why passages of Scripture should never be taken out of context. By do it this one can claim just about anything. It's all about context.
