This is about eternal questions and the cross of Christ.

"If Christ was simply a human, albeit the perfect person.... [He would have only suffered] a finite penalty, such as annihilation, is consistent with that scenario. But Christ was not simply a human.... God himself [besides simply being a perfect human] was present at the cross. For Jesus' cry, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" (Matt. 27:46), is that of the "Lord of glory" (1 Cor. 2:8) himself, accepting the punishment due us. Jesus' priestly work therefore establishes that the penalty for sin against the infinite must be infinite. Similarly, God's punishment of the damned will be infinite, of everlasting duration."
