“hell” is never mentioned in the original Greek or Hebrew text. It is sheol, Hades, Gehenna, and Tartarus that are all translated into the word hell.
I just pointed you to multiple verses that say without salvation you perish/experience death (cease to exist). That is the punishment and you could call it everlasting or eternal because, well, you cease to exist forever, but it isn’t an actual physical burning in a fire or psychological punishment that never ends.
Do you have any other verses you can share?
Btw iron sharpens iron. Thank you for engaging
I think you are willfully being ignorant here. I've already noted this, but you have to die/perish in order to be sent to hell. There is nothing at all talking about a second death.
Why would I share any more verses? You have none that back up your claim. I don't need to show you any more that explain it any better just because you deny it.
Where are you getting this second death? Not something I said. And I literally just posted multiple verses that back up my claim and say belief is the way to eternal life. If you consider spending hours upon hours reading the original Greek/Hebrew and comparing scriptures with other scriptures and praying for discernment from God to be willful ignorance, then yeah, I guess I am being willfully ignorant. I didn’t just willy nilly come up with this belief when I read the OP, it is something I have been studying off and on since 2011. Willfully ignorant… kek
If you don’t have eternal life, how can you have everlasting punishment?
Here are some more scriptures:
I can find more, but the trend is Jesus = eternal life; no Jesus = perish, death, destruction.
Here’s another one:
The eternal punishment of Matthew’s scripture is the same as Sodom and Gomora, one of death and destruction, not life.
“ Where are you getting this second death?”
This is what I’m asking you. You are saying that someone dies, and then goes to hell until... they die again? Perish, as if that’s different than death? The Bible uses both interchangeable. I don’t understand at all where you get this crazy idea from because it’s not spoke of in any Scripture, having to die twice.
Are you seriously retarded and don’t realize that everyone dies, but not everyone has it be everlasting, because the saved are given life again?
People die, they go to heaven or hell. In hell, they experience death continually. Everlasting. In heaven, people are given life again.
It’s really not hard to understand.
Did you know Jesus DIED?? But he was resurrected and lived again. He did not experience everlasting death in hell.
I NEVER said any of that, you interpreted it that way because you are still trying to fit my belief of no hell into your belief of hell.
People die, if they are believers they are given eternal life; if they aren’t, they perish. This is the eternal punishment, ceasing to exist. This aligns with all the scriptures I provided you. If you can provide me with scriptures that say otherwise, please do so. I’d be happy to be proven wrong, because that means I would be growing in my faith (certainly been wrong before), but it will be done divinely through scripture, not because you said so (no offense).
