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.
