So let me wrap my head around this.At least i'll get a straight answer from you,one reason I like you and your posts so much.You do believe people will burn in hell but not for eternity? Is that it? So what happens after that? Not trying to be sarcastic either.And what theology is this?
What happens to those cast into hell?
Rev 20:13 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.
Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second
death.
Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
The word for death is...
G2288
θάνατος
thanatos
than'-at-os
From G2348; (properly an adjective used as a noun) death (literally or figuratively): - X deadly, (be . . .) death.
Total KJV occurrences: 119
It means they die, they do not go on living in a place of terrible torment, they die.
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Not life in some other place of torment, the wages of sin is death. And again, the word for death here is...
G2288
θάνατος
thanatos
than'-at-os
From G2348; (properly an adjective used as a noun) death (literally or figuratively): - X deadly, (be . . .) death.
Total KJV occurrences: 119
What did God say about life and death...
Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Not burn forever in hell but rather they would die.
Can a soul die?
Eze 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Eze 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Mat 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to
destroy both soul and body in hell.
And the word for destroy here is...
G622
ἀπόλλυμι
apollumi
ap-ol'-loo-mee
From G575 and the base of G3639; to destroy fully (reflexively to perish, or lose), literally or figuratively: - destroy, die, lose, mar, perish.
Total KJV occurrences: 92
It cannot mean life in some other place of torment, it means destruction. What is the ultimate fate of the wicked?
Mal 4:1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
Mal 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
Mal 4:3 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.
They are cast into the Lake of Fire Rev 20:13-15 and burned to death. Burned to ashes and are gone forever.
What theology is this? The theology of the Bible. I do not look to other men to give me some explanation of the scriptures, I believe what they plainly teach.
Sorry this is long but you asked a serious question and deserve a serious answer.
