It would be extremely rare to see it any other way. People are using "burn" intransitively to mean "to be consumed by fire", Jackesly. Let me add that to "be burned" is a time-limited event -- either it is a short ouchy like from a stove or, at worst, ends when something such as a piece of firewood is completely consumed.

However, something could "burn" for a very long time, even an eternity in hell…. I would agree with quillerbee; To me "burn in hell" implies eternity, whereas "burned in hell" does not necessarily do so. And since hell is a specific fictional concept used as a counterpart to heaven it seems appropriate to use "burn" as opposed to "burned".

The fires of hell will go out because, as we read in Isaiah, there will not even be left one coal of combustible material to keep the fires going. The cleansing fire brings about a complete eradication of sin.

Ezekiel speaks the following about Satan, "Therefore I brought fire from your midst; it devoured you, and I turned you to ashes upon the earth And [you] shall be no more forever. Why would God allow for all this destruction to happen? The fire purifies the earth and establishes a place of righteousness for the saved to live. Isaiah adds, "For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former shall not be remembered or come to mind.

And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away Then He who sat on the throne said, 'Behold, I make all things new.

Have you considered the following? If people were tormented forever in hell how could all things be made new? Additionally, how could all tears be wiped away if you were saved and happily living in an earth recreated, but could still see loved ones burning in hell for eternity? Eternal life for you in heaven would be eternal torment as you continually saw those you loved in unending agony.

If you were an all-powerful God who ruled the universe how would you deal with sin? How would you remove pain and heartache fairly for eternity?

God wants to destroy sin, but at the same time lovingly save the sinner. If we continue to hold on to sin we will be destroyed along with sin. If we let go and confess, sin alone will be destroyed.

If sin is not completely eradicated it will infect every part of earth. There can be no peace with sin in existence. Turn, turn from your evil ways! He is pleading with you to get rid of every sin in your life so some day you can enjoy an everlasting heavenly home where no pain or suffering exists. Consider the following story. Imagine God as a loving compassionate surgeon. He loves each and every patient that comes into His office, but hates the disease that attacks them.

Each day He lovingly treats each case. He loves you so much, but says He must make an amputation to save your life because of the spreading nature of the disease.

If the gangrene is not removed the infection will consume you and eventually kill you. In the same way God must remove sin or it will consume the entire universe and destroy the happiness of His creation. Languages Study in More Languages. What is hell like?
