Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. 48 When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away. 49 This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous 50 and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51 “Have you understood all these things?” Jesus asked.
“Yes,” they replied.
52 He said to them, “Therefore every teacher of the law who has been instructed about the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”
just like the wheat and the tares.
God could burn the sin out of you now but it would burn you up too
first you have to become immortal (evidently at harvest)
only then can you approach God.
Hmm....the good are kept and the bad are cast into the fire.
Hmm.....now...wonder what that could mean? I'm sure those that deny hell will be along any time now to suggest it's not what it seems.
The bad is a new form of love which are carnal minds couldn't understand. Our ancient ancestors mis translated this and it now has been corrected here on city data forum.

OK. I decided to try this and see if I could make good fish out of bad fish by casting them into a fire. The result was not good fish. They were not purified in any way by the fire. So we know that the bad that is cast into the fire cannot come out good.
The final coming of Christ will be the judgment of all men. His very presence will be the judgment.
For those who love the Lord, His Presence will be infinite joy, paradise and eternal life. For those who hate the Lord, the same Presence will be infinite torture, hell and eternal death. The reality for both the saved and the damned will be exactly the same
According to the saints, the “fire” that will consume sinners at the coming of the Kingdom of God is the same “fire” that will shine with splendor in the saints. It is the “fire” of God’s love; the “fire” of God Himself who is Love. “For our God is a consuming fire” (Hebrews 12:29) who “dwells in unapproachable light.” (I Timothy 6:16) For those who love God and who love all creation in Him, the “consuming fire” of God will be radiant bliss and unspeakable delight. For those who do not love God, and who do not love at all, this same 66consuming fire” will be the cause of their “weeping” and their “gnashing of teeth.”
