The Doctrine Of Everlasting Punishment
by David J. Stewart
"Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of ETERNAL FIRE." —Jude 1:7
"And these shall go away into EVERLASTING PUNISHMENT: but the righteous into life eternal." —Matthew 25:46
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into THE LAKE OF FIRE." —Revelation 20:11-15
"Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into EVERLASTING FIRE." —Matthew 18:8
"In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be PUNISHED WITH EVERLASTING DESTRUCTION from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power." —2nd Thessalonians 1:8,9
Fools can argue the Bible all they want, the Word of God proclaims that there is a place of eternal punishment (Gehenna, the Lake of Fire, "Hell") for the wicked. If you'd like to learn all about Hell, please read A Biblical Examination of Hell by Pastor Max. D. Younce.
