Malachi 4:3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.

[@ST8URCASE]

if unsaved sinners burn forever , then sin will last forever, regardless of its tormented condition. satan will exist forever. these statements are contrary to scripture

[@Slikk22]

Exactly!!! If everyone who winds up in the lake of fire burns forever, then sin lasts forever, right along with satan, demons and sinners. That would also mean that pain lasts forever as well because anyone burning in fire forever will absolutely feel pain. But the bible clearly says that there will be no more pain. This means that no one (anywhere) would be able to feel pain because pain itself would no longer exist. Therefor, the most logical conclusion is that sinners parish in the lake of fire. To any of you who believe in eternal torture, ask yourself, which one of these two statements is true??? People will experience pain forever in the lake of fire... (OR). Pain will no longer exist just as the bible says. Both of these statements cannot be true.

This I believe is error. Malachi 4 I believe is talking about the judgement of the wicked who are on the earth. Most likely when Christ returns the second time. The wicked will be burnt up like ashes at his appearing. The glory of God will destroy there bodies......It can be translated as this OR it can mean a literal burning up that already took place in Israel History where God outpoured judgement on the wicked and there physical bodies were burnt up. At the judgement of the wicked which is called the second death, the wicked are thrown into the lake of Fire. If Malachi 4 is speaking about that judgement then how then are we able to tread over their ashes in the day the Lord does it? Isn't the devil in the lake of fire too? Wouldn't there be torment there day and night? So what business do the redeemed have walking around in the lake of fire? How can we be walking in ashes if the lake of fire burns forever and ever? We pick out verses but we need to read the verses before or after to get context. This chapter talks specifically about a period of time in Israel History. If we are to believe it has anything to do with end time eschatology then it clearly cannot be the lake of fire because it contradicts everything said about the lake of fire. This scripture does not even say lake of fire. It says in the DAY that shall burn like an oven. The lake of fire is not a day. It is a lake of fire that "torments day and night". Mathew 24:46 speaks of eternal punishment. A person cannot be punished if they don't exist. That cannot be called punishment. They have no consciousness to suffer it. Mathew 13:42 it says they will be thrown into the furnace of fire and in that PLACE there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Why would God resurrect the wicked only to throw them into the lake that they cease to exist after the judgement? There are too many holes in this belief.

The Flight Creation Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

[@jarrasmith1]

The punishment of the wicked dead in hell is described throughout Scripture as “eternal fire” (Matthew 25:41), “unquenchable fire” (Matthew 3:12), “shame and everlasting contempt” (Daniel 12:2), a place where “the fire is not quenched” (Mark 9:44-49), a place of “torment” and “fire” (Luke 16:23-24), “everlasting destruction” (2 Thessalonians 1:9), a place where “the smoke of torment rises forever and ever” (Revelation 14:10-11), and a “lake of burning sulfur” where the wicked are “tormented day and night forever and ever” (Revelation 20:10). The punishment of the wicked in hell is as never ending as the bliss of the righteous in heaven. Jesus Himself indicates that punishment in hell is just as everlasting as life in heaven (Matthew 25:46). The wicked are forever subject to the fury and the wrath of God. Those in hell will acknowledge the perfect justice of God (Psalm 76:10). Those who are in hell will know that their punishment is just and that they alone are to blame (Deuteronomy 32:3-5). Yes, hell is real. Yes, hell is a place of torment and punishment that lasts forever and ever, with no end. Praise God that, through Jesus, we can escape this eternal fate (John 3:16, 18, 36).

Adventism teaches the false doctrine of the "annihilation" of sinners, including Satan and his demons, instead of what the Bible says: an eternal and conscious punishment, for all the wicked, without EXCEPTION, in the lake of fire and brimstone. ! "The devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where both the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night, forever and ever." Revelation 20:10 'And if anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire." Revelation 20:15 "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives the mark on his forehead or on his hand, This man also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured unmixed into the cup of his wrath; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone before the holy angels and before the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the sign of his name, have no rest day or night." Revelation 14:9-11 "And they shall go into ETERNAL TORMENT, but the righteous into ETERNAL LIFE." Matthew 25:46 In this verse, for example and following the same logic, does it then mean that eternal life is only for a certain time and then we disappear? All those who rejected God will be punished, but with different intensities. Certainly the punishment of Satan, the beast and the false prophet will be much more intense than, for example, an atheist. But the punishment for all will be ETERNAL!!! So the question is: Are we the ones who decide what God can and cannot do? How can the creature question the Creator? You refuse to believe him because you don't think it's fair?? God is love but he is also just!!

[@rickynotestine9963]

Doug Batchelor. Sorry for the long post. I grew up old school Pentecostal and was scared to death of eternal torment. In my early 30s I had a mental breakdown that caused visual and audible hallucinations. I can’t blame the church for the mental breakdown but with my upbringing I do believe it definitely had an influence on my hallucinations. I also have Scrupulosity OCD that causes religious intrusive thoughts. It was really bad in 2007-2010 but with the right medication and unlearning everything I was told in my life I now believe that annihilation is the punishment for the wicked and not ECT. I’m on the conditional immortality side and that means your immortality is conditional on whether you accept Jesus or not and the punishment for refusing Jesus is death. The punishment of annihilation could be instant or seconds to minutes. I don’t believe it’s going to be a long period of time like we perceive time but it will seem like a long time because of the suffering. Once you study the scriptures from a fresh perspective without having ECT as your primary belief it becomes clear that ECT is from the pits of hell so to say. There are more verses that support destruction of the wicked than ECT but certain people take one or two verses and say look at this one but it can be easily explained. They can’t get passed their traditional upbringing because they believe it’s 100% true and are afraid of being a false teacher or they are afraid of losing their congregation. Chris Date is another person that believes in annihilation Rethinking Hell Is his website and youtube and also Facebook. He’s done countless debates on ECT verses CI/annihilation. This could either bring people to Christ or away because the punishment is death and not ECT. If people want everlasting life then Christ is the only way but the other option is death. Most people don’t want death to be the end and some believe that annihilation is actually worse than ECT. That’s ridiculous I mean Trillions upon Trillions of years is better than a few moments of pain and then being removed forever. There’s the question do you want to die and cease to exist forever or have eternal life. A lot would say eternal life but ceasing to exist would just be that you wouldn’t know anything you’d be gone.

@@davidsveips Davids, most of the Scriptural passages you quoted here were simply being MISAPPLIED by you, while the others that actually related to the subject matter of "the eternal fire of hell", totally SUPPORTED my position, and totally REFUTED yours. Davids, you just can't take a particular passage of Scripture out of its original context, and then make it applicable to whatever else suits your personal needs and desires. God's punishing "fire" that He sends down on the earth from heaven, is NOT the same thing as "the eternal fire of hell", but you continually conflated the two in your Scriptural quotations here. And the words of Ezekiel 28:19, "you have come to a horrible end and will be no more", are concerning the physical existence on the earth of that person being "no more". And God "kindling an unquenchable fire in the gates of Jerusalem that will consume her fortresses" (Jeremiah 17:27), is actually referencing that God "will set fire to these gates. The fire will spread to the palaces, and no one will be able to put out the roaring flames." But the fire will be extinguished once the destruction of the gates and palaces is complete. Davids, once again, this is NOT the same thing as "the eternal fire of hell" (Matthew 18:8-9), or "go to hell, to the unquenchable fire" (Mark 9:43 ESV) or "into hell, where the fire never goes out" (Mark 9:43 NIV). And the witness of Revelation 21:8 [“But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars-their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”], totally repudiates your assertion, and totally affirms mine. Davids, you really have to be very 'indoctrinated' by the "Seventh-day Adventist Church", to not be able to see just how terribly non-Scripturally based your viewpoint truly is.

When I was a small boy, my parents taught me about their understanding of the Bible. That isn’t all they did, however. Beginning when I was about ten, they also showed me some of the reasons they interpreted the Bible the way they did. Dogmatism is appropriate for children when they aren’t yet old enough to understand the reasons for their parents beliefs. Dogmatism isn’t appropriate when parents or pastors or evangelists are speaking to people who are old enough to understand how they (the parents or pastors or evangelists) decided how to interpret the evidence. Doug Batchelor has given us some Bible texts that, taken by themselves, seem to indicate that the final end of the finally impenitent will be by fire and that the result of that fire will be their permanent destruction. He has also given us his explanation of several texts that seem to indicate that hell is a place or that it will burn forever. Doug Batchelor would probably agree with Rich Hannon “Most people who think they have rejected God have really only rejected a caricature of him.” It seems to me that it would be even more helpful to explain how people decide whether A: Humans were endowed at creation with conditional immortality or B: Humans have innate immortality or immortal souls. A: The finally impenitent will be punished by suffering and complete destruction in a lake of fire or B: there is an eternally-burning hell in which souls are tormented without end. The following is a list of people who taught the doctrine of conditional immortality, the doctrine of the annihilation of the finally impenitent or both: SIXTEENTH CENTURY Martin Luther (1493-1546) German reformer and Bible translator Luther was not always consistent on this subject but the doctrine that souls sleep in peace, without consciousness or pain predominates his writings on the subject.

[@rogermetzger7335]

@@philipbuckley759 A man convinced against his will Is of the same opinion still. For more than a thousand years, the clergy of the Western church taught that Earth was shaped like a pancake and hell was a PLACE under the earth. The theory that Earth is shaped more like a ball and that it is in orbit around the Sun posed a serious challenge to that doctrine. On the other hand, if the Bible is read from the perspective that Earth is shaped more like a ball and that there isn’t anything “under” it, the garden of Eden can be understood as a manicured spot on an idyllic Earth and the goal of the plan or salvation is to restore this planet to a state not unlike the Earth as it came fresh from the hand of the creator - a new Earth. The following is not intended as an argument against the flat Earth doctrine - or the doctrine that hell is a place, for that matter. There ARE some Bible verses which, if taken by themselves, can be construed as teaching that hell is a place maintained by “God” for the punishment of sinners. It seems to me that such a god is “too small” to rid the universe of the terrible blight of sin. I don’t base my theology on Paradise Lost (John Milton - seventeenth century), The Devil’s Advocate (Andrew Neiderman - born 1940), C.S. Lewis (twentieth century) or Doug Batchelor but I think each of them has promulgated some interesting insights into who the devil is and how he operates. Personally, I think the doctrine of an eternally-burning hell is Satan’s favorite doctrine. I think it has turned more people against the God of the Bible than any other one doctrine. So what possible alternative is there to the popular interpretation of “hell”? Most people have never stopped to consider the difference between “heaven” (mentioned often in the Bible) and the “new earth” - Isaiah 65:17 & 66:22; Hebrews 12:26-28; II Peter 3:12 & 13; Revelation 21:1-4. When I find references to “heaven” in the Bible, I think of it as a reference to the atmosphere, the sky beyond the atmosphere or the place from which God sustains and rules the universe. Abraham “sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.” Hebrews 11:9 & 10 Jesus said, “In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” John 14:2 & 3 John wrote “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” Revelation 21:1 & 2 If Jesus intends to take believers to heaven (the place from which God rules the universe), if the new Jerusalem is there now and if it will descend to Earth in the future, does that mean Earth will be the new heaven - i.e. the place from which, henceforth, God will rule the universe? Some people try to put all of the symbols and events in the book of Revelation in order according to which they are found in that book. For me, that method presents too many problems so I interpret the event of Revelation 20 verse 9 as occurring after the new Jerusalem descends to Earth. “And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.” Yes, Revelation 20 verse 10 does say, “ And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” Does that mean that the redeemed will forever be able to look out over a burning lake of fire from their windows in the New Jerusalem? Maybe even throw rocks at the devil from the city walls? Or is the language of Revelation 20 verse 10 intended as a reference to the same kind of “fire” that destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha? “Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.” Jude 7 (Jude has only one chapter.) If Sodom and Gomorrha aren’t burning today, it is possible to think of hell as an event rather than as a place. On the other hand: A man convinced against his will Is of the same opinion still.

If God is truly caring and merciful, why is there so much suffering and injustice in the world? A compassionate deity wouldn't allow countless innocent people to endure pain and hardship. It's worth questioning the nature of such a being when their supposed mercy is so inconsistent with the reality we observe. Also, consider these incidents from the Bible that depict God in a less merciful light: The Great Flood (Genesis 6-9): God wipes out nearly all of humanity, including innocent children and animals, with a global flood. The Plagues of Egypt (Exodus 7-12): God inflicts ten devastating plagues on Egypt, causing immense suffering to innocent Egyptians, including the death of all firstborn children. The Binding of Isaac (Genesis 22): God commands Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac, testing his loyalty in a profoundly cruel manner. The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19): God annihilates these cities with fire and brimstone, killing all inhabitants, including women and children. Job’s Trials (Book of Job): God allows Satan to torment Job, a faithful servant, causing the death of his children and loss of his wealth and health to test his faith.

And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭16:19-26‬

Today, are believing Christians taken away (like mysteriously disappearing) body, soul and spirit right at death to Paradise or Abraham's bosom? No, they are not! There are no believing Christians simply having body, soul and spirit taken away to Paradise, or heaven by angels right at death and we are still burying the body of deceased believers in a Christian burial as of today. Jesus never explains why the Rich Man is in torment in hell. Was he a Jew but never obeyed the law, or a Gentile that knew nothing of the Jewish law? Jesus never explains why Lazarus deserves Paradise. Was he a Jew or a Gentile? Why does Abraham call the Rich Man "son" and the Rich Man calls Abraham "father" but no such relationship is given to Lazarus? Why is the Rich Man begging to Abraham for Lazarus to do him favors? Why not ask Abraham himself, or better yet, he should ask favors from Almighty God? Think it through!!

Glen Swain even if our days in hell were multiplied so that they felt 1000x longer, this still does not come close to eternity. God is just. He will punish the wicked according to their works. How could it be just to punish someone for eternity for the sins they committed in a lifetime? Even satan who has sinned and caused others to sin more than anyone else will not burn forever. The Bible says of satan in Ezekiel verses 13-19 “Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. 18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.” It says he will be brought to ashes and that never shall he be anymore. Not even satan will suffer for an eternity. He will suffer for a very long time, but not for eternity.

[@kaysonrhodes5482]

Robt Clayton I’m so excited to see Jesus !!!

[@oscarlumberg8865]

Robt Clayton Jesus was telling a parable. The rich man represents Israel who was given so much light from God. So much truth from the scriptures ( rich man feasting sumptuously and yet lived as a hypocrite) And Lazarus represents the gentiles who were starving for truth. ( the crumbs that fell from the rich mans table) anyway, this question of wether hell is eternal or not has no bearing on whether we go there. Only the righteous will inherit the kingdom of God. No one who sins or does wickedness will enter through the gates into the city. So if we don’t want to go to hell, whichever way hell may be, then we must overcome our sins. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. Of course, how we answer this question says a lot about who we think Jesus is. Tell me, can you think of anything worse than burning people for an eternity? All the suffering that the devil has caused for humanity over these few thousand years in which he has be free to roam to and fro, pales in comparison to causing the fast majority of all the people who have ever lived ( all the billions of them) to suffer in conscious burning torment eternally. That is not the Jesus if the Bible. All these ideas people have of an eternally burning hell come from Greek mythology and other extra biblical sources. There are far more verses in the Bible which speak of the wicked being destroyed and turned to ashes and never existing anymore and being as if they had never been etc etc, than there are passages which at first glance would seem to indicate that hell is eternal. I would recommend to you that you look up the meaning and origin of the word hell. Now a days when people say the word hell they immediately imagine some dark fiery place under the earth where satan is the leader his demons are given the privilege by God to torment people for the ceaseless ages of eternity. This is a nonsensical view. People often say hell must be eternal because God is infinite and and so any sin against him needs to be infinite as well. Where is this written in the holy scriptures?? So many people who argue for an eternally burning hell have said this. They are just using their own logic. Their own reasoning to come to this horrific conclusion. Only Satan would delight is sadistically torturing people throughout eternity. “Eternity” are we comprehending what that even means? Never ever ending. Kid dies lost and has to be on fire for ever.. That is not a just punishment. Kid will receive same punishment as someone who dedicated their entire life to Killy and torturing and doing all kind of wickedness? People have also said that it isn’t really a punishment if it ends at some point. That the only thing that matters to a man is his current state of existence, and if he were to die and stop existing and stop feeling pain then it is as if the punishment never happened. Do you know what kind of people also share this mindset? Sadists. People who get pleasure out of torturing other people. People like for instance Jeffrey Dahmer who drilled holes in peoples heads to pour acid in there brains to try to make them into zombie slaves. People who trap others down in there basement to torture them also try to prolong suffering because it is the shear act of inflicting pain that gives them pleasure. Where as God says “Ezekiel 18:23 King James Version (KJV) 23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?” God would suffer eternally as well watching the creatures that he loves and died to save suffer for eternity. He punishes the wicked because he is just and not because he will derive pleasure from it or, as many have said when trying to explain the eternal torment of the wicked, as a means of increasing the pleasure of Saved, so they can look on the wicked burning and say to themselves “ well at least it’s not me burning” and by contrasting their existence withe the miserable existence of the wicked their pleasure and joy will increase. This is the same thing that the wicked do everyday here o. Earth. Comparing themselves to others they see as less fortunate to make themselves feel “happy”. This attitude is of satan and of the world.

this had me scared for over a month now, ever since i saw a video about a visit-to-hell testimony... but if you read it further, like look at the original texts and stuff, then you see that King James mistranslated Sheol, Hades, and Tartarus with Hell- not to mention that all our visions of Hell come from Dante's Inferno, which is more or less fan-fiction, and that messed things up as all three are completely different places, especially with verses about the soul being destroyed. kinda hard to have a soul burn forever when it's destroyed, right? And look at Jonah & Sodom and Gomorrah- Jonah complained about being in the whale "forever and ever" and Sodom and Gomorrah were said to have burned "forever and ever"... yet Jonah was spat out after 3 days and the cities are long gone with the remains under the sea. Yet another mistranslation- the original word was Age, not Endless or Forever. "But what about the Rich Man and Lazarus?" That was a story. All of Jesus' parables were stories he uses as examples. Did the Rich Man and Lazarus exist? Maybe. while the thought of being subject to such pain scares the bejeesus out of me- i am having a impossible time trying to stop my sexual sin-, at least it would be temporary before complete erasure... which in itself is scary, unless the universalist view that Hell serves as a "refinement" process to purify the souls of sin is the right. And if you look at the Islam religion, Hell for them is also temporary, while the Jews have no Hell. and from the atheist's point of view, Hell, and the Bible in general, was likely made up by wicked people who wanted to control the population. Are they right? Who knows. the only way to find out the truth of 4000 years of religion is through a time machine, but we don't have one. well, not yet.

If you believe that the wages for sin is eternal suffering in a place called hell, and you also believe that Christ took your punishment upon himself. Doesn’t this mean that Christ would be required to suffer in a place called hell for as long as you were required to do so? If the punishment for the unsaved was conscious eternal suffering in a place called hell, then why does the Bible tell us that Christ’s soul was not left in hell? Psalm 16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. If therefore Christ was not left in hell, then his punishment had an end. This of course, presents a big problem if you believe that the penalty for our sins is suffering without end in a place called hell. But if you understand that the wages of sin is death and not eternal conscious suffering in a place called hell, then harmony with the scriptures begins to take place. Romans 6:23 For the wages (the payment) of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Death is the payment for sins that the law of God has always required. Therefore, death is the payment that Christ had to pay on behalf of the sins of his elect. And death is the payment all of the non-elect have to pay for their own sins. Upon death, an unsaved individual ceases to exist because his soul was dead already at the moment of conception, therefore, upon the death of the body, that individual is dead forever and has ceased to exist, or as the Bible puts it, that individual has perished. This is why John 3:16 gives us the contrast of either living forever or perishing, which means that they cease to exist. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Christ indeed took upon himself the punishment required by the law of God and died for the sins of his chosen people, but unlike the non-elect which have no power over death, Christ (who is Almighty God) could satisfy the demands of His own law by dying and then raising himself from the dead. Thus, God righteous demand for the sins of the elect was satisfied and so, Christ did indeed take our punishment upon himself, but it wasn’t conscious suffering for an eternity in a place called hell, else He would still have to be there, but rather, it was death. The doctrine of death being the payment for sins and not eternal suffering, teaches us that God’s punishment for sin does indeed have an end, it ends when the unsaved individual dies. It ended when Christ died for the sins of his elect, and His resurrection provided the means of eternal life for all those whose sins were laid upon Christ. And the doctrine of limited punishment, as opposed to eternal conscious punishment, is indeed taught in the scriptures. Deuteronomy 25:1-3 If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous and condemn the wicked. 2 And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number. 3 Forty stripes he may give him, and NOT EXCEED: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem VILE unto thee. One thing that the Bible assures us of, is that God, who has laid down the law for mankind, has bound himself to his own law. This law therefore would be no exception in that God cannot command that the punishment for the wicked is not to exceed a certain number of stripes, and then turn around and Himself punish the wicked without end. This type of doctrine does not harmonize with the scriptures. But when we realize that the same laws that apply to mankind also apply to God himself, then we can see that there is harmony when we also realize that death is the penalty for sin rather than eternal conscious suffering in a place called hell. Death is the end of the punishment of the unsaved. Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 For the living know that they shall die but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. 6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun. Ezekiel 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, It shall die. James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

@@emeraldv3nom415 please let the Bible speak for itself. ''And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name''. But not just buying and selling...''And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed''. If you don't take the mark you have more to worry about then buying and selling. You will die! You say 'it'' is required to buy or sell AND stay alive but you never say what ''it'' is? You disagree with ''warpath''...ok, then what is ''it''? Lets not guess. The first step is to ID the beast and there is plenty in scripture to do so. Once you understand who the beast is you will then understand the mark. Let me say this about the mark. The mark has something to do with worship! ''And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would NOT WORSHIP the image of the beast should be killed. Do you see it? Those who do ''NOT WORSHIP'' the beast, whoever that is will receive the seal of God, right? Ok, then one must chose to ''WORSHIP THE BEAST'' to receive the mark. Ok, its simple. Those living in that time...could be us will be required to make a choice..for God or this beast power. If you chose to worship the beast, well lets let the Lord answer..''If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb''. You do not want to receive this mark so you better understand who the first beast is of rev 13 AND who the second beast is that enforces the mark... whatever ''it'' is!!!!!!

Considering that Jesus tells us that he will bring eternal or everlasting life to those who believe and obey him. Nowhere in the bible tell us that we have an immortal soul that lives forever, that would mean we already have everlasting life or eternal life outside the promise that Jesus is eternal life in himself. So if the wicked go to an eternal life lasting forever in an eternal punishing, it would be absurd that Jesus who gives us eternal life through our faith in him, then how could the wicked have an eternal life in hell if it would not have been granted to them by Jesus. We have no eternal life without Jesus giving us eternal life through our faith in him, therefore to have eternal life in hell does not make sense. We have no immortality of life without the consent of Jesus who gives us eternal life. The wicked will perish and be destroyed forever and not live forever in the punishing of hell because eternal life was not granted to the wicked by the promise of Jesus concerning eternal life!

And they shall go out and look on the dead bodies of the men who have rebelled against me. For their worm shall not die, their fire shall not be quenched, and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh. Everlasting Life/Everlasting Contempt Daniel 12:1-2 At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time.

Woe to the world for temptations to sin! For it is necessary that temptations come, but woe to the one by whom the temptation comes! And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire.

Matthew 25:31-36 says, "Then he will say to those on his left, “Depart from me, you cursed. . . . And these will go away into ETERNAL punishment, but the righteous into ETERNAL life.” Revelation 14:9-11 says, "If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath...and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have NO REST, day or night." If they were annihilated out of existence, then the statement "no rest day or night" makes no sense. Revelation 20:10 says, "And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be TORMENTED day and night FOREVER and ever. . .Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if ANYONE"S name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire." By the way, the word torment is translated from the Greek word Basanismos, and it means to torture. It absolutely does NOT mean to annihilate and put out of existence. How about the STORY of Lazarus and the rich man. The fact that Jesus spoke of Lazarus by name, shows this was NOT a parable or metaphor. AND once again, if you think this story was a parable or metaphor...then for what? How would describing a man saying, "I am in torment in these flames..." indicate annihilation? How about the fact that Revelation 20:13 has "death and Hades (Hell) gave up the dead who were in them and they were judged." If they already died and went to Hades (hell) then how are they judged IF they were annihilated? Answer; they were NOT annihilated. Finally, with all the above explanations on a score of verses, why didn't God just say, "I will annihilate the wicked? Remember, the wicked are judged according to their deeds.

Exactly! However, I disagree with the noun Aion being the word used for eternity. I could be mistaken, but I believe it’s adjectival form is used for eternity; Aionios. Aion is typically used for “forever and ever “ and “Everlasting.” However consider this: It is a fundamental law of grammar that an adjective can have no different or greater meaning than the noun from which it’s derived.

I agree aswell to an extent. The reason I say this is because I've studied with messianic Jews and they've told me that the Bible should be interpreted under a Hebraic perspective because it was given to Isreal, so even if it's in Greek they've told me I should read it as Olam. But the only problem is identifying when it does refer to a long period, age or literally eternity.

The punishment of the wicked dead in hell is described throughout Scripture as “eternal fire” (Matthew 25:41), “unquenchable fire” (Matthew 3:12), “shame and everlasting contempt” (Daniel 12:2), a place where “the fire is not quenched” (Mark 9:44-49), a place of “torment” and “fire” (Luke 16:23-24), “everlasting destruction” (2 Thessalonians 1:9), a place where “the smoke of torment rises forever and ever” (Revelation 14:10-11), and a “lake of burning sulfur” where the wicked are “tormented day and night forever and ever” (Revelation 20:10). The punishment of the wicked in hell is as never ending as the bliss of the righteous in heaven. Jesus Himself indicates that punishment in hell is just as everlasting as life in heaven (Matthew 25:46). The wicked are forever subject to the fury and the wrath of God. Those in hell will acknowledge the perfect justice of God (Psalm 76:10). Those who are in hell will know that their punishment is just and that they alone are to blame (Deuteronomy 32:3-5). Yes, hell is real. Yes, hell is a place of torment and punishment that lasts forever and ever, with no end. Praise God that, through Jesus, we can escape this eternal fate (John 3:16, 18, 36).
