I haven't avoided it. I related the teo, because there's no sense in causing the entire universe to burn...but then need another fire to complete the job.2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 does not speak of the Lake of Fire which has an eternal purpose , and in no way constitutes the judgement to take place on the earth .
2Th 2:7
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
2Th 2:8
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
Very telling that the Lake of Fire is spoken of in scripture, yet you want to avoid quoting it where it is mentioned because it does not fit your concocted speculations .
