  • Comparison of conclusion (theology of Hell) – both views

    Comments Off on Comparison of conclusion (theology of Hell) – both views

    View 1 (hell is eternal)

    According to the Bible, though, hell is just as real as heaven. The Bible clearly teaches that hell is a real place to which the wicked / unbelieving are sent after death. We have all sinned against God (Romans 3:23). The just punishment for that sin is death (Romans 6:23). Since all of our sin is ultimately against God (Psalm 51:4), and since God is an infinite and eternal Being, the punishment for sin, death, must also be infinite and eternal. Hell is this infinite and eternal death which we have earned because of our sin.

    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).

    Hell is real. 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).

    John 5:39 “You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me”.

    View 2 (UR – Universal Reconciliation)

    Now here’s the above rewritten for view 2 (hell is not eternal) — ignore the grammar mistakes.

    According to the Bible, though, hell is just as real as heaven. The Bible clearly teaches that hell is a real place to which the wicked / unbelieving are sent after death. We have all sinned against God (Romans 3:23). The just punishment for that sin is death (not eternal hell- Romans 6:23). Since all of our sin is ultimately against God (Psalm 51:4), and since God is an infinite and eternal Being, the punishment for sin, death, (sin does not originate from Him – thus cannot be in itself eternal) must therefore be finite and to a limited time only. Hell is this finite (not God’s Will that any should remain there eternally) and death we earned because of our sin.

    The punishment of the wicked dead in hell is described throughout Scripture as “age-during fire” (literally meaning in fire for one age- limited time–Matthew 25:46), “unquenchable fire” (not a time description – but that while it is carried out, the fire cannot be stopped by the creature till it fulfills its purpose to destroy evil in it–Matthew 3:12), “shame and age-during contempt” (again, to one age only, literally–Daniel 12:2), a place where “the fire is not quenched” (as before, not a time description but severity–Mark 9:44-49), a place of “torment” and “fire” (agreed–Luke 16:23-24), “everlasting destruction” (age-during destruction – I repeat, literally to one limited time age only–2 Thessalonians 1:9), a place where “the smoke of torment rises ages of Ages — really long time but limited & not forever–there’s not gonna be any smoke rising forever” (Revelation 14:10-11), and a “lake of burning sulfur” where the wicked are “tormented day and night to the ages of Ages — really long time but limited & not forever– I repeat” (Revelation 20:10).

    Hell is real. Hell is a place of torment and punishment that lasts to the ages of Ages for Satan & his troops while men’s punishment is to one-singular age only, both with a sure end. Praise God that, through Jesus, we can escape this hell — that’s why He is Saviour of the world (John 3:16, 18, 36) & (John 4:42, 1 John 4:14).

    John 5:39 “You search the Scriptures because you think they give you age-during life. But the Scriptures point to Me” (come to Christ Jesus our Blessed Lord to obtain the reward of life in the coming age). End (literally – no adding nor removing of the Word).
