Responding to comments about Hell: Annihilationism

If the Christian God exists, and the Bible is true, Hell is a real place... where you will be tortured, in front of Jesus, for eternity.

Wasn't very impressed with the video. How about a bit deeper study and comparing verses with verses rather than surface reading that only seems to support the view you hold.

[AuldLangSyne1000]

Isaiah 66:24

"And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have

transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh."

Those carcasses sure are sentient and suffering, boy.

[AuldLangSyne1000]

The worm not dying. Do you know what that means? The worm's eating the bodies don't die. Read the last bit of Isaiah. And the bits in Revelation never say the people are living forever, just the abstract images like the beast or something. The smoke may go up forever, though. If hell wall Biblical, I'd be against Christianity. If hell were true, I'd be against God.

Most forms of Annihilationism believe that Hell is a conscious experience, just that, at some point, the people therein cease to exist.

Something I caught, I hope you can respond. It says God will demolish day and night. If so doesn't annihilationism has a merit that their torture will be stopped at some point?

Rev 20:10 and shall be tormented day and night

Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun

Revelation 22:5 There will be no more night.

Yes yes, hell must last forever, us saints need a little entertainment from time to time. I am really looking forward to watching my grandmother burn each Sabbath! Haha, granny, should've listened to me eh? You are doing a great work for Jesus here, keep up the good fight!

dude get an education before you make videos looking like an idiot. study the history of the bible and its translations. Jesus never said hell or anything like hell. hell was translated from the words that meant grave, weeping and gnashing of the teeth you talk about isnt even talking about hell. god you people kill me

[OnlyHereForComments]

Yes, Matthew 13:50 said there will be the weeping and gnashing of teeth, but the focus on annihilationism is how long is the punishment. In annihilationism, either sinners are eradicated from existence pronto, or sinners might suffer weeping and gnashing of teeth before God euthanizes (annihilates). Also, saying "the worm does not die (Mark 9:48)" but claiming that it means the soul is forever? It makes no sense. In Revelations 14:11, only the smoke caused by the fire is eternal.

one question I have on this matter.Doesn't the parable of Lazarus the beggar imply that doomed souls be tormented in Sheol until judgment day?

After the judgment I believe sinners will be utterly destroyed body and soul,hence the term 'second death'.But the scripture I mentioned does at least make me wonder about punishment until judgment.

[richiefranklin76]

Exactly!

I find it so stupid how many Christians have accepted the Pre Trib Rapture despite it not being supported by scripture.According to Jesus Christians will only be taken away at the end after the days of the great Tribulation.Their belief is based off of unproven assumptions,many don't bother to read it for themselves

And I believe most scripture about an eternal hell is misinterpreted.There is a verse in Ezekiel that talks about ancient Edom Burning 'for ever and ever.'It's figurative
