"The mind set on the flesh is death." (Rom 8.6) Since all of our minds have at one time been set on the flesh, we have all died. We're all going to hell.

I have never met a person who has not lied, including you. And me. Therefore both you and I and all mankind will burn forever in the fire and brimstone. There is no hope for any of us. In fact, all the apostles are prolly guilty too. Saul/Paul we know is a murderer, so he goes to hell first.
It seems you and I are foolish to ever have believed we could be saved.
