Is Hell Forever? (In Christianity)

And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28 It says their souls and bodies are DESTROYED in hell. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23 DEATH not eternal torment psalm 37:10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found. will be NO MORE... But the wicked shall perish; And the enemies of the LORD, Like the splendor of the meadows, shall vanish. Into smoke they shall vanish away. Psalm 37: 9-11, 20. shall VANISH AWAY... they will vanish away not suffer forever But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; The future of the wicked shall be cut off. Psalm 37: 9-11, 20, 38. DESTROYED TOGETHER, and the future of the wicked shall BE CUT OFF As smoke is driven away, So drive them away; As wax melts before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God. Psalm 68:2. LET THE WICKED PERISH.... still ...perish, not eternally suffer. May sinners be consumed from the earth, And the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul! Praise the LORD! Psalm 104:35. BE NO MORE Malachi 4:1 "Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire," says the LORD Almighty. "Not a root or a branch will be left to them. BE STUBBLE, NOT A ROOT NOR BRANCH WILL BE LEFT TO THEM.... suggests destruction... You shall trample the wicked, For they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet On the day that I do this, Says the LORD of hosts. Malachi 4:1-3. it says they shall be ashes... as in nothing left of them.. Behold, they shall be as stubble, The fire shall burn them; They shall not deliver themselves From the power of the flame; It shall not be a coal to be warmed by, Nor a fire to sit before! Isaiah 47:14. It says they shall be stubble... like nothing... The LORD preserves all who love Hims, But all the wicked He will destroy. Psalm 145:20. it says he will DESTROY them... not make them suffer forever For as you drank on my holy mountain, So shall all the nations drink continually; Yes, they shall drink, and swallow, And they shall be as though they had never been. Obadiah 1:15-16. it says it will be like they never existed... so they are destroyed you said: "Matthew 25: 46 says "These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." From this citation, we could see that people who believe in Jesus and in God would go to heaven, while the people who don't suffer in hell, eternally. But not only that, this verse is told by Jesus, Himself. He really does a good job explaining how punishment and suffering in hell is everlasting as being eternal with God." well. The punishment of the wicked is eternal. God will destroy them, they wont suffer forever! they will cease to exist FOREVER, that is a punishment... not existing is punishment... they wont suffer forever. The same book of Matthew said "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell." it says he will DESTROY both the body AND soul in hell. DESTROY.. - "And these will pay the penalty of ETERNAL DESTRUCTION, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power," (2 Thessalonian 1:9)." you brought that up... it says eternal DESTRUCTION as in the will be destroyed and cease to exist, as in the will eternally not exist. i await your argument :D
