Jun 19, 2023 · A flawed view of God’s love. Many who reject the idea of eternal damnation do so because they find it difficult to believe that a loving God could banish people to a place as horrific as hell for all eternity. However, God’s love does not negate His justice, His righteousness, or His holiness. Neither does His justice negate His love.

Eternal Damnation: What does the Bible Really Teach?
Traditionally, the most prominent view regarding eternal damnation is that the people cast into hell—the lake of fire—will suffer fiery conscious torments forever and ever. Depicting the horrors of this belief was a favorite subject amongst artists in medieval times, resulting in all manner of imaginative and ghastly portraits of people suffering unending agony. Some have since tried to modify this position a bit, suggesting a more metaphorical view, that the unending pain experienced probabl...
I recently read in a major news magazine that this teaching of hell as eternal torture has all but disappeared from the pulpit ministry in both mainline and evangelical churches. Why is this so? Why are Christians who are committed to this doctrine so reluctant to openly and honestly preach it? Why do they mask what they really believe by saying th...
The apostle Paul summed up the whole matter of people’s reward for sin when He wrote: For the wages of sin isdeath, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23) Could anything be clearer than this text? The wages for sin is shown to be death, and eternal life is stated to be a gift from God, not something people ...
The offer to receive eternal life as opposed to suffering everlasting destruction is what the gospel of Christ is all about. We see this plainly expressed in this passage: But (God’s grace)has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel...
Didn’t Jesus preach that those who reject the gospel and refuse to repent will suffer never-ending torment in hell? Many ministers adamantly insist on this, but what did Jesus say as recorded in the bible itself? By all means, let’s examine what Jesus himself taught on the issue starting with a statement we’ve already looked at: MATTHEW 7:13-14: “ ...
I’ve heard many people object to the above passages which state that God Himself is going to “destroy both soul and body in hell,” specifically adherents of the eternal torment view who for obvious reasons cannot take the word “destroy” literally. Their objection is that God isn’t going to destroy anyone because “people choose hell.” What they mean...
We’ve viewed some pretty clear biblical texts which plainly state that unrepentant sinners will ultimately perish and be destroyed. Let’s dig a little deeper and trace these words to the original language in which they were written. The words “perish” (from John 3:16 and Luke 13:3, 5) and “destroy” (from Matthew 10:28 and James 4:12) are both Engli...
Let’s begin with the Greek word thanatos (than’-at-os). This word simply means “death” (Strong 35), the express opposite of life (see Romans 8:38) and therefore the cessation of conscious existence. Thanatos is most often used in the bible simply in reference to the death that all human beings must one day experience—the first death (e.g. Acts 23:2...
The Greek word apoleia (ap-oe’-li-a), which is the noun form of apollumi, refers to utter destruction and is often used in reference to the eternal fate of the ungodly, i.e. the second death. This is the case with the aforementioned Matthew 7:13-14 where Jesus stated “wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction (apoleia) and ma...
The Greek word olethros (ol’-eth-ros) which means “destruction” (Vine 165) is used by Paul to describe the eternal punishment of the second death: 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9 (KJV) In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ: (9) Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction(oleth...
Feb 8, 2024 · Hence, eternal damnation is certain. In conclusion, eternal damnation is the horrific, conscious, eternal punishment that awaits impenitent sinners who persist in rebellion against God. It reflects both the seriousness of sin, and the justice and holiness of God. Our only hope is to turn to Christ, trusting in His death for our sins, so we can ...
