“In the entire Bible, there is not a single verse that records anything to the effect that "Everyone has eternal life; it's only a matter of where each will spend it." Yet this is what most of the church today believes.


Contrary, to popular opinion, the Bible never says that all people are born with an immortal soul. Rather. it states that only God has immortality*, and He blesses whom He chooses with the gift of eternal life.


The Scriptures DO teach that some will suffer eternal torment in the lake of fire. For example:

1. The devil, the beast and the false prophet will suffer eternal torment:|




2. Those who worship the beast and receive his mark will suffer eternal torment:








The Scriptures DO teach that others will also be cast into the lake of fire but DO NOT teach that they will be tormented forever and ever:








Cast into the lake of fire is the second death - NOT eternal life. Death! - not life forever.


The Scriptures DO teach that some will burn up - be consumed -and not burn forever.




"burn up" = "consume wholly. Greek G2618 katakaiō to burn down (to the ground), that is, consume wholly: - burn (up, utterly).


Righteous Judgement?


The Scriptures specifically state that those who are cast into the lake of fire are to receive "righteous judgement" and be judged "according to their deeds".




Rom 2:6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:




On the other hand, Modern Christianity teaches that all who are not "saved" will be judged and given the exact same punishment as Satan - eternal torment!


If a fifteen year old boy who committed few sins is given the same sentence as Satan how could that be "righteous judgment according to his deeds"? The answer is obvious. Jesus taught us the principle of descending levels of punishment when he said:








Punishment according to ones deeds is righteous judgment. If all in this parable by Jesus were punished the same it would not be righteous judgment … When we stop to think about it how could a God of love create people whose only destiny is to join the billions who have never even heard of Jesus in a vast lake of charred, screaming souls burning forever. Justice and mercy demand an end to their suffering relative to the light they had and degree of sin they committed.”

Donna adds: The second death = cease to exist.

* 1 Tim 6:15-16—"He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone possesses immortality..."
