Here's an interesting take on the theme of Eternal Salvation/Eternal Damnation I came across recently. Hell IS eternal!" It must be because it guarantees human freedom and human ability to make a choice. Without choice there is no love. God is Love - eternal Love. And... we must have the freedom to choose God, but also to not choose God, or else we're not doing so willingly and not out of Love! Hell guarantees our freedom. It is our freedom, maybe! This line of thinking leaves open the question...
