Pastor Dick: After three and a half years right? Pastor Doug: Yes. Pastor Dick: We have to know these things. We have to look at our little -- Go ahead. Pastor Doug: It's a glorious city in space. Pastor Doug: That's it. I was close. Many people are surprised Pastor Dick, that the Bible does not teach that Hell does not burn through all eternity. It tells us that the wicked are burnt up in Hell since they're devoured, they are consumed and then the righteous, Malachi chapter four, go forth and walk on the wicked that are ashes under the soles of their feet and God creates a new Heaven and a new earth where there is no more pain.
Now if there are people tortured forever how can there be no more pain? Then the Word says in Revelation , all things are new. Well if you got old sinners screaming in torment, then they're not new, and so everything is new and ultimately the wicked will be burnt up in Hell.

I'd be perfectly fine with just disappearing But it is impossible for things to be as if one never existed: the results of one's actions and influences continue to ripple forever.
Of course, no one really knows about what truly happens after death. I'll trust the One who took care of my life to take care of my death The problem that I have with everlasting hell is that it does not seem logical nor fair that temporary actions, often the result of delusions, difficult environments, incomplete understandings etc. So maybe eternal hell is like a mathematical, never attained, limit.
One could say that sin "tends toward" eternal hell and destruction. But other factors, such as God's mercy, the openness that remains in one's heart, also intervene in the enfolding of what happens after death. Most popular. But what about the Holy Spirit?

But does the Bible support annihilationism? Hmm… no, not at all! Jesus himself says that the unsaved will face a punishment that never ceases:.
