Torment or Destruction? What the Bible Actually Says

Torment or Destruction? What the Bible Actually Says

Season 1 Episode 31 Published 4 weeks ago
Description
For centuries Christians have believed the lost will suffer eternal conscious punishment in hell.

But in recent years another idea has been gaining traction — annihilationism.
This doctrine teaches that the wicked will eventually be destroyed and cease to exist, rather than suffering eternally.

So which is true?

Does the Bible actually teach eternal torment, or does Scripture point toward final destruction?

In this episode of The Word at War, I walk through the key passages behind this debate, examine
 the Greek words often used to defend annihilationism, and explain what the Bible really says about:

• Eternal punishment
• The afterlife (Sheol and Hades)
• Resurrection and judgment
• Eternal fire
• The Valley of Gehenna

This conversation is not about opinions.
It’s about what Scripture actually says.
If you care about biblical truth, this is a discussion worth having.
