The Biblical Truth About Hell, Does it Last Forever?

You asked for the Truth, no such thing as Hell-fire, everlasting punishment.

Hell in English is translated from the Hebrew language (Sheol) which means the grave.

Sheol is an unfamiliar term to many. It is a Hebrew word of uncertain derivation. Many religions teach that the dead are still alive, but as the inspired Word of God shows, those in Sheol are dead, without consciousness. Sheol is the common grave of mankind.

Collier’s Encyclopedia says concerning Hell: First it stands for the Hebrew Sheol of the Old Testament and the Greek Hades of the Septuagint and New Testament.

Since Sheol in Old Testament times referred simply to the abode of the dead and suggested no moral distinctions, the word hell, as understood today, is not a happy translation.”

Christ taught it unending.

And if it were not there would have been absolutely no point or reason for Christ to come and suffer so to deliver us from Hell.

And they shall goe foorth, and looke vpon the carkeises of the men that haue transgressed against me: for their worme shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched, and they shall be an abhorring vnto all flesh.And many of them that sleepe in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to euerlasting life, and some to shame and euerlasting contempt.But I say vnto you, that whosoeuer is angry with his brother without a cause, shall be in danger of the Iudgement: and whosoeuer shall say to his brother, Racha, shal be in danger of the counsell: but whosoeuer shall say, Thou foole, shalbe in danger of hell fire.And if thy right eie offend thee, plucke it out, and cast it from thee. For it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. For it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.Enter ye in at the strait gate, for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which goe in thereat:And feare not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soule: but rather feare him which is able to destroy both soule and body in hell.And feare not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soule: but rather feare him which is able to destroy both soule and body in hell.The field is the world. The good seed, are the children of the kingdome: but the tares are the children of the wicked one. The enemie that sowed them, is the deuill. The haruest, is the ende of the world. And the reapers are the Angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burnt in the fire: so shall it be in the end of this world. The Sonne of man shall send forth his Angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdome all things that offend, and them which doe iniquitie: And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wayling and gnashing of teeth. So shall it be at the ende of the world: the Angels shal come forth, and seuer the wicked from among the iust,And shal cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing, and gnashing of teethWhen the Sonne of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy Angels with him, then shall hee sit vpon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations, and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepheard diuideth his sheepe from the goatsAnd he shall set the sheepe on his right hand, but the goats on the leftThen shall the King say vnto them on his right hand, Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdome prepared for you from the foundation of the world.For I was an hungred, and yee gaue me meate: I was thirstie, and ye gaue me drinke: I was a stranger, and ye tooke me in:Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sicke, and yee visited me: I was in prison, and ye came vnto me. Then shal the righteous answere him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fedde thee? or thirstie, and gaue thee drinke? When saw wee thee a stranger, and tooke thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sicke, or in prison, and came vnto thee? And the King shall answere, and say vnto them, Uerely I say vnto you, in as much as ye haue done it vnto one of the least of these my brethren, ye haue done it vnto meThen shall he say also vnto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into euerlasting fire, prepared for the deuill and his angels For I was an hungred, and yee gaue me no meat: I was thirstie, and ye gaue me no drinke: I was a stranger, and yee tooke me not in: naked, and ye clothed mee not: sicke, and in prison, and yee visited me not. Then shall they also answere him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sicke, or in prison, and did not minister vnto thee? Then shall he answere them, saying, Uerely, I say vnto you, in as much as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.And these shall goe away into euerlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternall.And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: It is better for thee to enter into life maimed, then hauing two hands, to goe into hell, into the fire that neuer shall be quenched. Where their worme dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foote offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, then hauing two feete, to be cast into hell, into the fire that neuer shall be quenched:But I will forewarne you whom you shall feare: Feare him, which after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell, yea, I say vnto you, Feare him.

1. Those in hell are unconscience, can’t feel pain - Ecclesiastes 9:10

2. Good people go to hell. - Job 14:13

3. Death, not torment in a fiery hell, is the penalty for sin. - Romans 6:7

4. Eternal torment goes against God’s justice. - Dueteronomy 32:4

5. God does not contemplate eternal torment. - 1 John 4:8

Some Bible translations use the word “Hell” for the Hebrew word “Sheol” and the matching Greek Word “Hades,” both of which refer to the common grave of mankind. (Psalm 16:10; Acts 2:27) Many people believe in a fiery hell. In the Bible, the term Gehenna refers to total destruction, without hope of a resurrection. In connection with the resurrection,the Bible says: “Death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them.” (Revelation 20:13, 14) Emptying “Hell” will mean restoring to life all those whom God judges worthy of a resurrection. (John 5:28, 29; Acts 24:15) What a marvelous hope for the future-seeing our dead loved ones brought back from the gravel Jehovah, the God of infinite love, will do this.

Hell exists and is eternal. A Catholic can be certain of avoiding eternal damnation by completing successfully the Nine First Fridays Devotion in honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Further information about this devotion is available online. The torments of hell include suffocation, darkness, torment by fire, a horrible smell, loud shrieks, despair, the constant company of Satan, other torments of the senses, and eternal misery.

No. The Bible and the true religion does not teach the religious lies of immortal soul and eternal torment in hell.

It teaches that God is love.

Biblical and truth should not be used in the same sentence.

In Revelation 20:11-15 the answer is given.

At some future time, when Jesus returns in great glory to usher in the Day of Resurrection and Judgment, all the dead will be given resurrection bodies in order to stand before Christ for judgment. The sea, death and Hades (the Greek equivalent of hell) give up all those in them. Those whose names are not found in the Book of Life will be cast into the sulphuric lake of eternally burning fire, where Satan and his cohorts already will be (vs. 10 - "They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever" see also Rev. 14:11).

Then, all the judging done, the emptied death and Hades are cast into that lake of fire too. "The lake of fire is the second death" we are told. So the Bible shows that there will come a time when all those in hell will be taken out of hell, given resurrection bodies for their final, eternal state, and those whose names are not in the Book of Life will then be cast into that sulphuric lake of fire. Finally, the emptied hell will be cast in too. There is no reason to think the sulphuric lake of fire will be nicer than hell, or that the designation "the Second Death" can possibly mean annihilation, because of what verse 10 states.

The lake of fire is eternal torment. And all who are in hell (a place of torment) go to the lake of fire. No exceptions. So the key is to avoid hell. And that is easy. Believe in Jesus, and you will not be in hell.

Jesus loves you and wants to bless your life freely :) Most of all, Jesus wants you with Him forever, and not in hell. The truth is that every belief except one will lead to eternal torment in the lake of fire for every person. Because nothing pays for our sins except the death and blood of Jesus, the sacrifice of Jesus that is already accomplished by Him . Jesus loves you! The truth is that Jesus is God, and Jesus died on the cross to pay for all of our sins in full, and then Jesus resurrected from the dead. Nothing else pays for our sins, not works, not deeds, not religions. So the only way to heaven and to avoid hell, is by believing in Jesus for eternal life (John 6:47), without adding any of your own works (Romans 4:5). Believe in Jesus to take you to heaven, and you will be in heaven, no matter what, guaranteed. That easy, thanks to Jesus! Tell Jesus that you thank Him that you will be with Him in heaven when you die, because you believe in Jesus! It is too late to be saved, after death.
