One thing for sure threat of a burning hell hasn't kept people from sinning.

I think about Pauls statement " the love of christ constraineth us" the threat of hell hasn't changed us, but i believe the revelation of love will.

Some will say no hell would give a license to sin, like it's not happening already.

Is the only reason you wouldn't rob, get drunk, abuse others, want my wife etc... is because of the threat of hell?

Thats great Bro! Its amazing what one can learn if they have a teachable attitude. There is far more scripture for this than the other positions.

I could never understand why God would send someone to hell for an ageless amount of time for only a lifetime worth of sin.

I read the website, but I just don't believe it. However, I HOPE you're right. It would make me feel alot better about lost people dying.
However, I still just don't see it. It sounds to me like he's just trying to explain away scriptures to meet his own viewpoint.

I believe the wicked will be destroyed in the Lake of Fire. That does not take away the fear of God. In the very context of Jesus teaching that the souls of the wicked shall be destroyed in Gehenna he is telling us we ought to fear God.

10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matt. 10:28

So Jesus taught to fear God. He also taught souls will be destroyed just like bodies-IN HELL.

the idea that hell is for immortal souls that were wicked is extra-biblical. that is why the soul that sinneth shall DIE.

What do you deserve for your lifetime of sin? I understand that you've repented, but I'm talking about what you deserve.

Do you think that for your blasphemy, lieing, hatred, unthankfulness, coveting, not honoring parents, murderings, stealing, rebellion, and not giving God thanks in everything, all these sins committed so many times that you couldn't count them and against the most High, Supreme, Righteous, Holy God that you should just be snuffed out as a punishment. Wouldn't that be letting you off easy?

Paul tells us EXACTLY what one deserves for living in sin.


1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Romans 1:29-32

They are worthy of death. Thats what Paul said.


He says it again.



6:21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:22-23


Hmmmm looks like he yet says it AGAIN!

8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. Romans 8:13

We learn more about the devil here than anywhere else in scripture.

28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
28:13 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.
28:14 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.
28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
28:16 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.
28:17 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.
28:18 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.
28:19 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. Ezekiel 28:12-19

And if you think this is not the devil where else in scripture have we learned the things we teach about him?

Verse 16 YHWH says he will destroy him.

Verse 19 YHWH says he will never BE any more.

Forever used in bible doesn't always mean what we use forever for. Jude speaks of eternal fire of sodom and G, but fire not burning anymore.

It is really simple..the opposite of eternal life is...........To say one goes to hell and is being tormented is a form of eternal life WHICH is a promise to believers ONLY..think about it..I think the unsaved just dies period,we are born dead already that is alienation from God,that is why we need to be "born again" to receive life from the dead..Adam was not the first person to die,Abel was.Jesus did not come to redeem the death of Abel :)..

And if you think this is not the devil where else in scripture have we learned the things we teach about him?

Verse 16 YHWH says he will destroy him.

Verse 19 YHWH says he will never BE any more.

Rev 20:7And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

8And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

9And 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.

10And 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.

11And 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.

12And 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.

13And 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.

14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

The lake of fire for the second death is a place of torment day and night for ever and just in case you didn't understand for ever in verse 10 the first time, it gets repeated. Tie that in with the rest of the bible and we get a clear picture.

I know it's hard to think that God could be so "cruel," but He's not. He gives warning after warning and yet mankind hardens his heart. The wrath of God is very real and if Jesus Christ the spotless Lamb of God had the wrath poured out on Him, then woe to you who have not repented.

This only proves that forever does not always mean what we think of as forever. Ezekiel shows us the devil will be destroyed and be no more.

Forever can be as short as 3 days in the Hebrew.

I taught eternal torment myself for 16 years. When I looked at it with the Biblical foundation that THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH the scriptures began to open up.

The wrath of God is very real. Unfortunately not many believe in it proved by the fact they think they can sin every day and escape it. Those who continue in sin will be thrown into the Lake Of Fire even those who think they are Christians.

What exactly is death? Is it really an ending of existence, or a separation? Some people say natural death is separation of the body from the soul, and spiritual death is separation from God.

Death is the opposite of life. When we die we do not have life.

That makes death the absence of life, not the opposite.
