The Heresy of Annihilationism

If the 2 choices are eternal life or eternal death but eternal for death just means poof you're no more........why struggle against Satan for eternal life.
It would be much easier to just choose the E death, would it not.

See this is why ANNIHILATION is false !

You'd pick a "poof" death over life? mmkay.

I would choose life rather than death.

Me too! Plain life would be a world better than even a sparkly death.

That little guy is probably wearing square pants.

I placed him in my signature because it encapsulates my existence, a sponge engaged in study. But, my only regret is that the file is so big that it overshadows my postings. However, I shall continue, with apologies not apologies, until I find a more suitable gif to replace it.

God is pretty clear the wages of sin is DEATH the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

God is the only one who is immortal no beginning and no end. Man is mortal and we are told sin will rise no more and sinners will be destroyed.

Malachi 4:3, KJV: And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.

The grave is also referred to as hell and once the sinner is dead their punishment is forever eternal to never exist again as though they had never been born.

why doesn’t it though ?

people who don’t want God would love the idea of going to a holding place of torment until they are raised up for the final judgement and thrown into a fire so hot it incinerates them? And ends tbier existance ? I’m not sure anyone is going to love that idea


and what does it mean to perish ? That doesn’t mean what it says either ?

“I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭13:3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

does perish mean “ suffer for all eternity “ or does it mean you’ll die and be destroyed “

Let me pose a question suppose you have just an average person they are actually pretty friendly they help other people sometimes when they feel generous they never kill or do massive harm to people ect

But when they hear about jesus they think it’s a fable

is this person going to suffer for all eternity ? Or did they forfeit eternal life ?

So they have reduced what could be an eternal existance in the presence of God

down to seventy or eighty years then tbey pay thier dues for thier deeds according to justice and then hey are extinguished forever everlasting destruction

“in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;”
‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭1:8-9‬

you believe people would love that idea ?

"No beginning and no end" means "everlasting" or "eternal". "Immortal" means not subject to physical death. God has immortatlity until the resurrection, at which point all the saints will also be immortal. We should never go with half truths.

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. (1 Cor 15:53,54).

What was Paul talking about? The resurrection of the saints at the Resurrection/Rapture of the Church.

Christ the eternal Word of God chose to take a human body and made Himself voluntarily subject to death for our salvation. But God the Word was eternal, and He is now in an immortal glorious and glorified body. And all His saints will resemble Him, to the praise of the glory of God's grace.

Personally, I just believe John 3:16 where it simply says that those who believe in God's Son have eternal life and everyone else perishes. Plain and clear. No eternal life in hell then. Case closed. Not here to convince anyone about it, but I have my mind made up to believe what the Bible says.

Amen.

i used to believe in eternal conscious torment, but now I don't. Annihilation of the soul in hell makes more sense. and more in tune with God's nature.
God will destroy sin once and for all in hell. They will be no more.
I suggest those searching for answers to watch this. This video is what changed my thinking on death, hell and eternal torment.

I DID NOT SAY THAT !

Here is where ignorance comes into play, not comprehending what is said causes division, disputes debates ect..........

The Spirit IS STILL WORKING HERE ON EARTH, RIGHT?
He still convicts of sin, correct?

If folks are given the choice of " eternal life", or poof ,it's over for you, baby".........what do any think is the choice of the many?

Annihilation is FALSE !

Please folks if you lack COMPREHENSION don't respond to me for I lack PATIENCE ! Thanks.

Yes, sir. As would ANY that choose to serve God.

Mem lack some abilities.

Post # 353 is direct to @Mem

why do you believe the teachings of men. GotQuestions themselves reject annihilationism.

So you would rather believe false teachers than Scripture? Once you go down that slippery slope, there is no turning back. We can either believe 100% what God says or disbelieve God. There is no middle ground.

Let me introduce you to the true God-Deut 32:4--All of his ways are JUSTICE. He taught all that perfect justice he stands for= An eye for an eye. That means his justice scales are in perfect balance.

So for 70-100 years of an unrepentent life, God could not or would not punish a weak little mortal for trillions x trillions x trillions of never ending years of punishment in a place of firey torment. Only a sadist would do such a thing. God is love, merciful, .

As well a single teaching in the NT proves it was symbolic about eternal suffering. Mark 9:43-48-- 48 says-where the maggot( worm) does not die and the fire is not put out--Reality check--No maggot or worm could survive for 1 hour in a hot firey place, proving it is symbolism.

The true God set before all mankind-Deut 30:19=LIFE or DEATH.

Its a sad thing not knowing the true God and going through life believing he is the sadist you present. You listened to the wrong teachers-these-2Cor 11:12-15

I guess you didnt watch the video I linked. I'm assuming you're nervous to do so because you might have to change your thoughts about eternal conscious torment going by what the Scriptures say. It's funny that you accuse me of beliving in false teachers that go against Scripture when that is exactly what you're doing. Watch the video then we can resume discourse on the matter.
