Hell is real, and everlasting.

Matthew 25:64 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

You just read the words which were spoken by the LORD Jesus to His disciples.

Notice the word everlasting which precedes the word punishment!

FALSE PROPHETS HAVE MISLED YOU! HELL IS REAL AND YOU MUST NOT DIE IN YOUR SINS! The consequence is eternal! You cannot punish that which does not exist. The concept of annihilation is contrary to sound doctrine.

It is no wonder the LORD Jesus spoke the following words to His disciples.

Mark 9:43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 9:44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 9:45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 9:46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 9:47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: 9:48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

The word of God is plain on the matter.

Those who don't understand eternal punishment, are ignoring God's holiness.
