The Bible says the wicked are punished with destruction; that’s death. So we have clear verses to prove what a punishment is for them.

You’re saying the eternal punishment is eternal torment in conscious pain, but when pressed for verses for can’t prove all of the unsaved are punished that way. See your error?

That’s really all we’re trying to show you here. So doesn’t the Bible, God’s word, have the final say on a matter?
This what Bible say

46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

There’s more than one verse about the eternal punishment. Here’s just one out of many.

James 4:12
12There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?

Able Destroy

1 able do not mean will do

example smith able to kill his wife he own a gun

it do not mean he will do
2 destroy do not mean cease to exist

remember Matt 25:46

“Able to save” so by your logic God is able to save but doesn’t mean He’ll do it. The only options are save or destroy. That’s what God does.

God able to save believer and he will do
Because he promise to do

God able and promise eternal punishment to goat and He will do
(Matt 25:46) and he will do, He not promise to make goat cease to exist, He promise to eternal punishment

Save or destroy. Those are the only two options. There is no “eternal torment” option for the goats. You’re chasing ghosts. It doesn’t exist.

So nothing you say matters at this point.
The written word of the Bible, the words of Jesus, the prophets, or the apostles don’t matter to you?
It seems you are having great difficulty comprehending words. I was obviously referring to your opinions. Neither Jesus, any prophet or any apostle said what you opine.

Ironically, that’s a common response from Christians. When the Bible doesn’t match what they want they attack it and reject it.
I haven't attacked the Bible. I have quoted it to REFUTE your opinions.

I’m just repeating what they said.
No, you are misunderstanding and even misreading what they said.

Sounds like your issue is with yourself and God, not me. You’ve been shown the Bible again and again.
What a hoot. So have you. Dan 12:2 speaks of an eternal contempt. Matt 25:46 speaks of an eternal punishment. Both of which have to be experienced to occur.

So if you still can’t prove eternal torment for all of the unsaved then you have nothing left to say.
Well, I've just said it again, above. Eternal contempt and punishment both refute your opinions.

You just refuted yourself!!

While God WANTS all men to be saved, per 1 Tim 2:3-6, He certainly DOESN'T save all men. He saves only those who believe, per 1 Cor 1:21.

Your accusations are powerless here.

Now here’s what the Bible says again.

The prophets, Jesus, Paul, and John all agree that there is no immortality of the soul or body in hell. Only the righteous, those saved by Christ, get immortality. They also all agree that the wicked perish.

The resurrection to judgment that Jesus spoke of is the same resurrection that Daniel mentioned in Daniel 12:2; it occurs at the throne judgement in Revelation 20. After the resurrection and subsequent judgement, there’s the second death in fire followed by a New Heavens and New Earth per Rev.21. That’s exactly what Isaiah said in chapter 66. The contexts match.

The bodies that are causing the righteous to feel contempt or abhorrence are those of the unsaved. Their bodies are being burned to ashes and consumed by worms too. Jesus said fear Him who can destroy soul and body in hell.
Get over yourself.

You have quite the imagination. God is able to save or destroy. There aren’t any other options. What God wants and what He will do are two different things. You’re tripping over your own shoestrings, pitting Bible verses against Bible verses, again, when they are all in complete harmony. A common tactic of yours. You’re fooling no one.

I believe I have nothing left to offer you. You’re free to go laugh hysterically alone on your island of heresy.

what you’ve said refutes nothing. I showed you the correct way to interpret Daniel 12:2, by taking into account Isaiah 66. Your problem really is with yourself and God. Just saying. You need to spend more time praying and reading the Bible.

Jesus say goat go to eternal punishment
it imply soul never cease to exist

let me ask you question

do you punish non existing being?

non exist, mean no pain sensor you punish what?
NO CHANCE OF EVERY BEING LOVED BY THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY FOR ALL OF ETERNITY AS YOU NO LONGER EXIST.

NO CHANCE OF EVER SEEING THE NEW HEAVEN AND EARTH

NO CHANCE OF EVER LIVING A LIFE TO WONDERFUL FOR WORDS TO DESCRIBE

NO CHANCE OF EVER HAVING ANOTHER THOUGHT

NO CHANCE OF EVER BEING LOVED BY ANOTHER SOUL

NO CHANCE OF EVER LOVING ANOTHER SOUL

NO CHANCE OF EVER BEING KNOW BY YOUR FAMILY

NO CHANCE OF EVER DOING ANYONE ANY GOOD

COMPLETELY REMOVE YOURSELF FROM HAVING EVER EXISTED BECAUSE THAT IS THE 2ND DEATH.

AND WITH THAT THERE WILL BE NO MEMORY OF YOU AS A LIVING BEING BY A SINGLE SOUL EVER AGAIN. FOR ALL ETERNITY, YOU WILL NEVER TAKE PART IN A SINGLE THOUGHT, ACTION, OR FEELING.

YOU ARE ETERNALLY NOTHING, NO ONE, NOT EVEN A FLEETING THOUGHT.

YOU HAVE VANISHED IN EVERY RESPECT, AS IF YOU HAD NEVER BEEN BORN.

THAT IS ETERNAL DEATH OF A BODY AND SOUL IN THE LAKE OF FIRE.



NOT SOMEONE THAT IS NEVER CONSUMED, NEVER BECOMING SMOKE, NEVER GO UP FOREVER AND EVER

Lets say I cut off your arm. Until the day you die, your arm remains cut off. I don't have to KEEP cutting off your arm for every minute until you die for IT TO HAVE HAPPENED and for it to continue on and on and on.

ONCE the 'punishment' aka the 'DEATH' has taken place, DEAD you remain forever. The death is ETERNAL. Not the ACT of being killed.

Possibly a moment to remember 'every idle word WE say' so maybe just the 'quote' before dusting off those feet. Remember the mote...

This isn’t a SDA doctrine. This is what the Bible says my friend. The eternal punished is that they are dead. Not sure how else to make that clearer. You’ve been shown the Bible, now you’re free to believe whatever you want.

I really don’t like to resort to that and I do genuinely care about what’s right, but at some point it’s better to part ways.

THAT'S HOW WE KNOW IT IS GOD GIVEN and not of ourselves. I had never had that thought before. It came out of much 'persecution' of a sort.


I believe this is WHY we have to go through these long debates. Without the other side PUSHING us towards the Truth of what is written, it's hard to get there. But once learned this way, it is never forgotten. I love the ways of GOD. Isn't it funny how once it is revealed it is always so simple it's hard to believe it was missed? THAT is how I know there is so much written that I read over because God has yet to open up my eyes to the truths written there. So I remain open to constant change and growth and continue to BUILD upon the foundation, which in itself REQUIRES us to be willing to grow and expand.


So don't credit me with anything, I believe THIS is a reward given US (sometimes to you and sometimes me, but all for the body) for diligently seeking after HIS TRUTH.

The path is narrow because only WHAT IS WRITTEN is TRUTH, and for thousands of years, the wisdom of man has been taught not WHAT IS WRITTEN. It is only since the words of God were made available to the common man and then computers and the internet that it has become POSSIBLE for us to do what we are doing here. WE ARE TRULY BLESSED indeed to be living here and now and able to do this and willingly open to receive the 'latter day rain' so to speak. Not till the end times would knowledge be opened up just like the book of Daniel was closed until this time. So many people say but that wasn't what the first century church was taught and I say YEAH because GOD tells us they didn't know anything so to follow them would be stupid on our part.

BUT we can't let ourselves forget how HARD it is to let go of any strongly held belief since it is usually tied to others we don't want to let go of. BUT we must go from the MILK to the MEAT and that is a rising up that some will never be able to accomplish because of PRIDE. That first FALL is not only the hardest lesson but is also the most eye opening one. And with that I say thank you for your perseverance here. I understand how difficult it is to do and how heavily it can weigh on the soul not knowing how much is too much while not allowing false doctrine to proceed any further. May God bless you and all your studies...
