If a person rejects God all throughout life, never submitting to him in repentance, then the person will enter eternity after death without God. Hell is total, conscious, eternal separation from the blessings of God. People think of it as a lake of fire and that certainly is a biblical image.
Also, the Bible describes hell as lashing or scorpions or darkness where there's great gnashing of teeth. There's not just one biblical image of hell. Hell is a place for the soul of extreme torment by being separated from the blessings of God. The questions we always struggle with is Hell fair? That's a harder question. I think one way theologians have dealt with that is, it's fair in this regard: people get what they deserve. They don't want to be with God, and so God at some point says, fine, you'll be without me.
Now, pride keeps you not wanting God around and there's a sense in which hell, if it's not just described by the images, but by theological understanding, total conscious, eternal separation from the blessings of God and there's a sense in which hell is people getting exactly what they want, they say "I didn't want God.
The desecrated area outside Jerusalem was where people left trash and refuse to burn. Those who do not accept this gift tragically spend eternity in hell, separated from God, left without access to love , hope, peace, and other blessings of God. Share this. The act of punishment may or may not be eternal. Slide 4 of Our view of hell depends on our view of an "immortal soul.
It's either eternal conscious punishment Slide 6 of There's another debate: Is everything literal? Slide 7 of Hell isn't about the magnitude of our sins. It's about the magnitude of God. Slide 8 of God's holiness and righteousness matter—a lot. Slide 9 of Satan will actually suffer eternally. Slide 10 of There's just one thing that matters The Bible does not say that the wages of sin is eternal punishment.
Also take a look at John which says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
One option is to perish, which means to disappear or be destroyed: to cease to exist. The other option is everlasting life. Neither of these two verses talk about everlasting torment. On the face of the earth there will be utter destruction. Nothing with a taint of sin will be left. According to science, fire needs three things to continue burning: fuel, oxygen, and heat. If any of those three are removed the fire goes out.
The fires of hell will go out because, as we read in Isaiah, there will not even be left one coal of combustible material to keep the fires going. The cleansing fire brings about a complete eradication of sin. Ezekiel speaks the following about Satan, "Therefore I brought fire from your midst; it devoured you, and I turned you to ashes upon the earth And [you] shall be no more forever. Why would God allow for all this destruction to happen? The fire purifies the earth and establishes a place of righteousness for the saved to live.
Isaiah adds, "For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former shall not be remembered or come to mind. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away Then He who sat on the throne said, 'Behold, I make all things new.
Have you considered the following? If people were tormented forever in hell how could all things be made new? Additionally, how could all tears be wiped away if you were saved and happily living in an earth recreated, but could still see loved ones burning in hell for eternity?
Eternal life for you in heaven would be eternal torment as you continually saw those you loved in unending agony.
