Does the Bible solemnly warn of eternal damnation?

While the subject of eternal damnation in Hell is unpleasant, it must be faced by absolutely everyone. The primary reason for the preaching of the Gospel is to save sinners from Hell. Otherwise Scripture would not say “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners...” (1 Tim 1:15). In view of the danger and jeopardy of Hell, God now commands all men everywhere to repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved (Acts 17:30;16:31).

I have only one question for those who believe in Jesus but don't believe in eternal torment:

From what, exactly, has Jesus saved you?

Dear Dino246 and Nehemiah6,
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.

The Doctrine of Hell is lie from Satan and is certainly not taught in scripture. Christ came to earth to save us from death, which is the true penalty of sin.

1John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

2Pet 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Where is "hell" in any of these verses above? It's not there because it is a lie and a product of mankind's evil carnal nature.

As John 10:10, Christ came to give us "life" from the penalty of sin which is DEATH. But He also came to give us a more abundant life, too which is a life free from sin along with a relationship with our Creator. This is the salvation that Christ brings to mankind and is the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Why do you believe and teach that Christ will fail to save mankind?

The Old Covenant is based on man's works and is physical and outward. But the New Covenant is different. It is 100% the work of Christ and His work is spiritual and inward. He will change us all from within by coming to each of us with the gift of the Holy Spirit. Until He comes and gives us this gift, no one can be saved or call Jesus "Lord".

1 Cor 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.

Saving mankind is solely the responsibility of Christ. If it weren't, no one would be saved. Mankind was created spiritually marred and carnally minded. In that condition, no one will even seek the true God and if they did, they would not be able to understand Him.

Jer 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Rom 3:10-11 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

In this age, however, Christ is ONLY coming to and saving the ones who have been chosen from the foundation of the world. They are His "First Fruits" of His harvest of mankind. They are first to be saved but they are not the last. The final and great harvest of mankind occurs at the end of the final age.

The Feast of First Fruits and the Feast of Tabernacles "type" these two harvests of mankind.

So how does "judgment" fit into mankind's salvation you might ask?

Christ's judgment is represented by the spiritual term "fire". All mankind will be judged by fire because without judgment, we cannot be saved.

1Cor 3:13-15 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Those who "receive a reward" are the heirs, the First Fruits. There reward is to have "life during the ages" and to reign with Christ while He brings in the full harvest of mankind in the final age. Those are the ones who shall "suffer loss" but they will still be saved "yet so as by fire".

Salvation requires both the Baptism of the Holy Spirit (Latter Rain) and Christ's judgment (fire):

Mat 3:11-12 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

Look at these verses:

Isa 1:27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

Isa 2:4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

Jer 4:2 And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.

Isa 26:9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

We are saved by the judgment of Christ (fire).

Job 34:12 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.

Who perverts judgment? Mankind does.

Prov 28:5 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

At the end of the final age, this verse will be TESTIFIED to be true:

1 Tim 2:3-6 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

God is love and loves never fails. Why do you believe Christ will not accomplish what Daniel prophesied below:

Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

There are many today who say they are Christians but refuse to believe the Bible when it does not suit them. However, since the Bible is the Word of God, we must take all things stated therein as divine revelation -- “Gospel truth”.

While the subject of eternal damnation in Hell is unpleasant, it must be faced by absolutely everyone. The primary reason for the preaching of the Gospel is to save sinners from Hell. Otherwise Scripture would not say “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners...” (1 Tim 1:15). In view of the danger and jeopardy of Hell, God now commands all men everywhere to repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved (Acts 17:30;16:31).

The Bible does in fact warn sinners over and over again about the wrath of God and eternal damnation and torment in Hell. There is no such thing as sinners ceasing to exist (as falsely taught by Annihilationists). That is what Satan would have people believe.

It is unfortunate that the King James translators translated three different Greek words (Hades, Gehenna, and Tartarus) by the same English word “hell”, and then compounded the confusion by translating the Hebrew word Sheol as “the grave” or “hell”, when Sheol is the same as Hades (the abode of departed souls and spirits). But only the Greek word Gehenna is used for eternal Hell -- the Lake of Fire -- “where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth”, and “where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched”.

It is primarily the Lord Jesus Christ who spoke of Gehenna (Hell) since He is the one who created Hell for the devil and his angels (Mt 25:41), where it is called “everlasting fire” because it is for the eternal torment of the devil, the beast, and the false prophet (Rev 20:10). The Scriptures in which He mentioned Gehenna are Matthew 5:22,29,30; 10:28; 18:8.9; 23:15,33; Mark 9:43,45,47; and Luke 12:4,5. James 3:6 has the same word. All the other times the word “hell” occurs in the New Testament, it is a reference to Hades (other than once to Tartarus). Hades is a precursor to Gehenna. The Lake of Fire is only mentioned in the book of Revelation (19:20; 20:10.14,15), and it is the same as Gehenna.

Christ’s warnings about the eternal damnation of Hell
The Lord Jesus Christ (along with God the Father and the Holy Spirit) is the only ones who can tell us the truth about Hell. Therefore we are to give serious attention to what He has said.

The jeopardy of Hell is even in what we say
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. (Mt 5:22)

Physical mutilation and death are preferable to Hell
And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell... 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... Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Mt 5:29,30;10:28; 18:8,9)

Anything other the the Gospel is a guarantee of Hell
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. (Mt 23:15)

Hell is synonymous with damnation
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? (Mt 23:33)

The fire and torment of Hell never cease
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: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 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: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 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: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. (Mk 9:43-48) [Note: the “worm” is a metaphor for torment, just as worms gnawing on a live person’s body would be constant torment).

The reality of Hell should put the fear of God into every soul
And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. (Lk 12:4,5).

I see that brevity and relevance are not among your gifts.

Isa 26:9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

We are saved by the judgment of Christ (fire).

Dear Dino246,
If a person has a "love for the truth", a "lack of brevity" will not stop them from seeking the truth of God. As for relevance, if you can't see the relevance of the verses I presented, then I am not going to be able to help you. Truth of God comes from scripture and no where else.

Jesus, Himself, warns us of eternal punishment. In the Gospel of Matthew, Cha 25, 'The Final Judgement of Nations where all shall be judged as to eternal salvation or eternal damnation: 46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

I have only one question for those who believe in Jesus but don't believe in eternal torment:

From what, exactly, has Jesus saved you?

Bits of Scripture, perhaps. A careful and convenient selection of Scripture can be used to teach almost anything. However, as David tells us, "The sum of your word is truth" (Psalm 119:160). That actually means that you have to put all the Scriptures together to have the whole truth on the subject.

Jesus again warns of eternal punishment in the Gospel of Mark, Cha 9:
Better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into Gehenna,
48where ‘their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.
