Eternal torment VS Annihilation

So does the term "eternal judgement" equal a non-ending judgement or that the judgement's result is forever?

LW97, "they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet" is speaking about the killing of the body hence the reference to "ashes" and not the eternal state.

Yes! Judgment does not only refer to the legal process, but the on-gong result of that judgment.

Do you believe hell is eternal separation from God or not? Not all eternal torment believers believe the same thing about it.

Yes, it will be eternal separation from God in the lake of fire. Satan, the beast and false prophet will be tormented day and night in the lake of fire, which is same judgment for all of the unsaved.

So do John and Paul contradict? John says they will be tormented in the PRESENCE of the Lamb. Paul wrote they will be shut away from God's presence.

I've provided the word olethros translated as destruction which specifically states that the word does not imply annihilation, but you ignore that and jump from one thing to another. How about addressing the definition of the word olethros?

Good, that is what I wanted to hear. I used to be more on the eternal torment side until two weeks ago and I also believe or used to believe that hell is eternal separation. I mean, many eternal torment believers believe that it was not, here an example:

Your main problem are these YouTube videos. These are nothing but the false teachings of men which you are adopting. You need to stick with the word of God as your compass.

Steven Anderson also teaches other things of which I am even more sure they are false, such as once saved always saved, KJVonlyism and the idea that homosexuals couldn't repent and be saved-

Yes it cannot be any clearer.. Seems those who do not want it to be true will grasp any interpretation of scripture that avoids the clear reading..

Revelation 20: KJV
10 "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

Revelation 20: KJV
13 "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. {14} And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. {15} And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

Who is tormented for all eternity?

9 A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand,
10 he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb.
11 And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name."
Rev 14

It is obvious, those who receive the mark of the beast are tormented for eternity, while the rest are destroyed.
If it was not so, and all are tormented equally, then there is no worse fate to have the mark of the beast than
being an ordinary sinner. And clearly revelations is saying it is far worse if you align yourself with the beast.

Yes, you are right, it does not 100 %ly confirm annihilation, but it does not 100 %ly confirm unconditional immortality either. There are many Verses that teach that the soul can die.

Well, if the word olethros does not imply annihilation (extinction), then the only other choice is on-going existence.

Everyone who comes into the world their physical body will die, but they will exist forever. There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked. When the righteous are resurrected, they will be immortal and glorified in the joy of the Lord in the kingdom of God. While the wicked will receive resurrected bodies at the great white throne judgment mete for eternal torment in the lake of fire. This is how it will be possible for the smoke of their torment to rise up forever and ever.

I used to be on the Eternal Torment side, but then I decided to rethink my interpretations...

"Everlasting destruction 2 Thess. 1:9 says that the unsaved will be "punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord" (NIV); "shut out" is not in Greek. The verse should read something like "the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord" (ESV). Considering that God is omnipresent then only through annihilation, the cessation of life, can it be said that a person is away from God's presence. A living being cannot be separated from our omnipresent God; life has to cease for that to happen. "

The above comment is a presupposition. You need to do a study on The Presence of God. God can be present and still not hear you.
many scriptures speak of the Lord God:

• Not answering, Prov 1:28
• Hid His face Mic 3:4
• Will not hear those who cry out Isa 59:2
• Separate Deu 29:21, Matt 25:32
• Depart Ps 104:1,Judge 16:20, Matt 7:23,

In each point, God was still present yet He was not there. Where did HE go? He removed HIS presence. He would not hear their cries. This a judgment of eternal condition. and enteral being can be separated from God because God has chosen to do so. The idea that man can not be separated from an all presence God is completely unbiblical and human reasoning used to interpret that idea. God does not hear sinner right now. They are separated from God by their sin. God the Father hears no one without Coming by the Lord Jesus Christ " I am the way" Gospel of John 14:6 God his still all present Yet people are here right now who God will not hear.

Hell is an eternal place where God chooses not to be present, speak, hear, or answer. The Lord God is fully capable of doing just that because we see HE did do exactly that in the word of God.

If people will not cease to exist in the everlasting fire, then there could be a way that they will escape. Man has free will.

• Will not hear those who cry out Isa 59:2

Well, the only way that man can escape would be to receive Christ while still alive in this present life. But once a person dies without Christ, their record is sealed. As the scripture states, " whoever has the Son has life, but whoever does not have the Son does not have life. To be clear, life and death are both states of existence:

Life = eternal existence in the joy of the Lord in the kingdom of God

Death = eternal existence in separation from God in the lake of fire
