    hell and the lake of fire are two completely different things. many think they are the same but they are not. for one thing revelation mentions that hell itself will be thrown into the lake of fire, they cannot be the same thing for this one reason alone. (revelation 20:13)

    Some people have been taught to believe that the punishment for sin is everlasting conscious torment in hellfire. Such people may read Revelation 20:10, which speaks of the Devil’s being “hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur,” and they interpret it to support their views. Of course, this does not agree with Ecclesiastes 9:5, which says that the dead “are conscious of nothing at all”; nor does it agree with Romans 6:23, which states that “the wages sin pays is death,” not conscious torment. Still, some might wonder, does not Revelation 20:10 say that Satan (and, supposedly, persons misled by him) “will be tormented day and night forever and ever”?
    In the first century, the Greek word for “torment” had a special connotation. Since prisoners were sometimes tortured, jailers became known as tormentors.
    Another Bible writer refers to this when speaking about an unfaithful slave whose master “delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.” (Matthew 18:34, King James Version)
    By comparing scriptures and taking into consideration their meaning in the languages in which the Bible was written, it is possible to arrive at an interpretation that agrees with the rest of the Bible. Thus Revelation 20:10 is no proof of everlasting torment in hellfire. The fate for all rebels against God is everlasting imprisonment in death. Their destruction is as complete as though they were hurled into a literal fiery lake.

    While the bible does say that we should dress modestly, it doesn't necessarily say that women ought to wear skirts or a dress. I am comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt. I don't believe that God sees anything wrong with this as long as I am not wearing skin-tight clothing that flaunts my body and shows off anything. THEN that would be a problem.
