"God did not create darkness. Darkness is the absence of light. He did not create hate. Hate is the absence of love. Darkness and hate therefore, are the absence of God." ~ by poet Kept apart by time, miles, and circumstance, their sweet reunion quivers with passion. Seen distantly across the bridge, they ran. Teeth, lips, and bodies collide, devouring. Laughter between kisses, that look of love... hands caress faces, hair, thumb brushing lips. Skies break, thunder applauds, and storm clouds weep. The clean scent of cool rain upon hot skin... Steam hisses from this idyllic love scene. Their embrace declares true love without words.

Lovely imagery for an idyllic live scene. I want to do this theme too. The word idyllic is so appealing. Your quote is so true, Crystol. Love it.

Now that's a reunion worth waiting for! And I love your quote. Death is the ultimate separation from God. The resurrection will be a blessing on multiple levels - Acts 24:15. Sweet romance on this one Crystol

Same as Gehenna, ie, eternal destruction. Oblivion. Non existence

Thank you! Yess, the second death(of the soul) is complete and utter death. Rev.20:6-14, 2:11,21:8. But those who take part in the first or second resurrection will not see the second death! praise God! There are many interpretations on what the lake of fire actually is and I've done some studying on it. What is your understanding? If you want to share that with me, feel free to soup mail or message on fb. Thanks again! Xoxo
