Is Hell Everlasting??!!! This Blog Will Shock Some People!!

Is Hell Everlasting? This is a question that have baffled Christians for years. Their are those who believe that Hell is not everlasting. They use these scriptures to support their beliefs.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death.
Ezekiel 26:21 ........but the dead know not anything,........for the memory of them is forgotten
Ecclesiastes 9:5...........................The soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Revelation 21:8 ................................ This is the 2nd death.
Revelation 19:20-21 .................................. The rest of them were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.

(Note: I didn't write the scriptures verbatim because I want you to look them up for yourselves.)

But you do understand why some think that eventually hell will end. Because the Bible says for the wages of sin is death!!! The soul that sinneth shall die!! etc........

"THIS STATEMENT IS TRUE"

Now for those who believes in an eternal Hell!! They use these scriptures to support their beliefs..

Matthew 25:41 Then he shall say to those on his left, depart from me, you who are cursed, into the
eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

Revelation 14:11 And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or anyone who receives the mark of his name.

Revelation 20:10 ............................... They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Revelations 20:14 ................................This is the second death.

Now that we have established why Christians believe in two different outcomes, we need to determine which belief is the correct one.

Are we all in agreement that the body has three parts? Remember (in Genesis 1:27) we are made in God's image, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. This is the Trinity the Bible speaks of. (Read Genesis 1:26, & Matthew 28:19) Well if we are made in his image that means we are body, soul, and spirit. (3parts) just like our Heavenly Father.

Remember Ezekiel 18:4 the full scripture says Behold all souls are mine, as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine; the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

Therefore, the body of the person will surely die, if it dies in sin; without the protection of the blood of Jesus to cover them. It will die not once but twice. (remember the "this is the second death scripture"). Therefore, the scripture is correct, for the wages of sin is "DEATH". However, But the Gift of God is Eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Now for the eternal damnation believers. The above scriptures that list "they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever;

 THIS STATEMENT IS TRUE!!!!

Our spirit (remember we are made in God's image) which is immortal, has to go somewhere. We have the free will to choose, Heaven or the "other place."

Now let's talk about "HELL."
The scripture Revelation 20:14 says Then death and Hades (hell) were thrown into the lake of fire. (Which is the second death of the body again).

So now that we know that Hell is not eternal because it too is thrown into the lake of fire along with death, we still need to find out is this punishment of fire everlasting.

2 Thessalonians 1:9 says They will be punished with the everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord............ (notice it did not say that just the fire would be forever, like some Christians think, it states; "WILL BE PUNISHED WITH EVERLASTING DESTRUCTION").

 Matthew 25:41 tells us that the everlasting destruction is the eternal fire that was prepared for the devil and his angels.        

Let's recap
We do indeed die (our bodies) and will be no more(which is the 2nd death) , if we die in sin.
In other words non-believers will die twice, while believers die only once.
We all have an immortal being in us (our spirit) and we will have to choose where we want to spend eternity. (By the way we will receive a new body) 1 Corinthians 15:35-39
Hell (Hades) is not eternal, while the lake of fire is eternal.

The scriptures says that God has definitely set eternity into the hearts of man. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

I am choosing to tap into what God has set into my heart, I have accepted the gift of Eternal Life, through my faith in Jesus Christ; by the Grace of God.

How about you??!!!................................
