RE: But the Bible speaks of the wicked being tormented
Just one more question if the bible says there shall be no more pain or suffering then god is lying because there will be people suffering some where in the universe right? I believe the wicked will be destroyed in the fire. How can they be ashes under our feet or stubble is the bible says.
