INTRODUCTION
The bible teaches that those who reject God’s message of reconciliation and gift of eternal life will be cast into the lake of fire, as incomplete incineration which is described as “the second death.” This iseternal damnation with no hope of resurrection. The purpose of this book is to examine the Holy Scriptures to determine the precise nature of this“second death” and show why it is the soul’s destruction and noteverlasting torment. Thankfully, many biblically sound, evangelicalChristians are now coming to realize this important scriptural truthincluding John Stott, Clark Pinnock and Dr. David Reagan to name a few.Let me emphasize beforehand that there’s absolutely no disputingthe fact that eternal damnation is a horrifying reality in Christianthought. We should take the bible’s repeated warnings of such seriously,and encourage others to do the same.I do not attempt to prove the existence of God or the reliability of the Judeo-Christian scriptures; such issues are beyond the scope of thiswriting.This study is intended for anyone who has an interest in finding outwhat the bible plainly and consistently teaches about the nature of helland related subjects (including a fascinating exploration of human naturein Appendix B). So, whether you’re a devoted Christian, a doubtingChristian, an agnostic, an atheist – or simply a fellow human being whodisdains all such labeling – I welcome you on this journey of discovery.
Eternal Torment in Hell: The Silent Subject of the Church Life and Death: The Two Polar Opposites Eternal Life and Immortality – Only Available through the Gospel Jesus Taught Everlasting Destruction
Do People “Choose Hell”?“Destroy both Soul and Body” as in Complete Incineration“The Wages of Sin is Death” not Eternal Conscious Torture“Their Destiny is Destruction” “They will be Punished with Everlasting Destruction”
“If You Live according to the Sinful Nature you will Die”
The Language of Destruction
The Example of
Gehenna
: “Hell” The Examples of Weeds, Trees, Branches and Chaff – Burned Up in Fire“Like Green Plants They Will Soon Die Away” “They Will Vanish – Vanish Like Smoke” “Bring Them Here and Kill Them in Front of Me” “They Will Be Thrown into the Fiery Furnace” Raging Fire Will Consume the Enemies of God Examples of God Consuming His Enemies throughout History“They Will Be Ashes under the Soles of Your Feet” Is Malachi 4:1-5 Applicable to Everlasting Destruction?The Example of Jesus’ Death Apollumi as “Lost” (the Lost Sheep and Prodigal Son) Apollumi as “Lose” The Ungodly Will Lose their Lives, their Souls, their Very Selves Examples of Everlasting Destruction – Not Eternal Conscious Torment
2Peter on Everlasting Destruction“Born Only to be Caught and Destroyed” “Like Beasts They Too Will Perish” Everlasting Destruction is Not a Denial of Hell Conscious Suffering Meted Out as Divine Justice Requires‘Everlasting Destruction isn’t Severe Enough – If People just Perish in Hell They’ll Have No Motivation to get Saved’ ‘Everlasting Destruction Isn’t Severe Enough to Spur Evangelization’ The Apostle Paul Proclaimed “The Whole Will of God” and “Fully Proclaimed theGospel”

Resurrection unto Unconditional Immortality‘What about the Devil and his Angels?’ Eternal Life (Aionios Zoe) – What is it Exactly? Does Aionios Zoe (Eternal Life) Mean “Living Forever”?God’s Gift of Eternal Life is the Answer to Humanity’s Quest for Immortality and ‘theFountain of Youth’ Does Zoe Refer to ‘The God-Kind of Life’?Contrasting Zoe “Life” and Psuche “Life” Conclusion on Aionios Zoe – “Eternal life”
Daniel 12:2: “… Shame and Everlasting Contempt” “There will be Weeping and Gnashing of Teeth” ‘What about “Outer Darkness” and “Blackest Darkness?” ’ “They Will Go Away to Eternal Punishment” Mark 9:43-48“Gehenna, where ‘their Worm Does Not Die’ ” “Gehenna… Where the Fire is Not Quenched” “There Will Be Wrath and Anger… Trouble and Distress” “The Smoke of their Torment Rises Forever” ‘What about the Rich Man & Lazarus?’ “Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth” Conclusion
‘Death Means “Separation” ’ ‘What About Spiritual Death?’ ‘When you Burn Something, It Simply Changes Form’ ‘Torment is Not Torture’ Is Endless Torture Better than Merciful Death?‘Hell is Where You Can Do Your Own Thing – Forever’ ‘A Human Being is a Spirit, and a Spirit, By Definition, Cannot Die’ ‘Cults Teach Everlasting Destruction – It Just Doesn’t Look Good’ ‘You Should Forget All this Deep Stuff and Just Preach the Gospel, Feed the Poor,etc.’ ‘What About “You Will Spend Eternity in Either Heaven or Hell”?’
The Augustinian Corruption of Christendom Augustine’s Advocacy of Eternal Torture Made It Unquestioned Orthodoxy‘Why Didn’t the Protestant Reformers Reject Eternal Torture?’
