![]() Let’s read Malachi 4:1-3:Īnd all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble.Īnd the day which is coming shall burn them up,” The wicked will be burned in hell not forever but within a very short period of time! The wicked will be consumed entirely in just a few moments. If the wicked will not be burned in hell, am I saying that they will never be punished? Absolutely not! Here’s the astonishing truth that most Christians don’t know. To think that people will be burned in hell not just an hour, week, month, or year, but for eternity is not just SATANIC but also contradictory to what the Bible really says! Proof number 3: The wicked will instantly be burned up! He gives eternal life to His saints and death to the wicked. Romans 6:23 does not tell us that the wages of sin is eternal life in hell! We can’t read that in Romans or in any part of the Bible. “For the wages of sin is DEATH, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”ĭid you just read that? It says that the wages of sin is death! The Greek word for death here is Thanatos, literally means death, the cessation of life. Now, here’s a problem with the twisted and unbiblical teaching of ever-burning hell. ‘Therefore turn and live!’” Proof number 2: The penalty of sin is DEATH Ezekiel 18:32 adds, “’For I have NO pleasure in the death of one who dies,’ says the Lord God. ![]() “He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities” (Psalms 3:10). God is not just loving, but also merciful. “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, BUT IS LONGSUFFERING TOWARD US, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” Now, is it possible for a loving God to burn people forever in hell? Of course, not! It runs contrary to His very nature. Every thought, word, and action of God are motivated by love. This verse along with other passages (I John 4:7, 9-10, 16 John 3:16 I John 4:19 Romans 5:8 I Corinthians 13 and others just to name a few) prove that GOD IS LOVE and that is exactly what He is. “Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love” (I John 4:8). However, many people paint Him as an unloving, anger, and sadistic God. Here are five surprising biblical proofs. Thankfully, the Bible reveals that God will NOT burn people forever in hell. Some became militant atheists and opposed the idea of God’s benevolence and existence. Many even fell into depression and tried to take away their lives as a result of frustration and despair. (If you are not familiar with the sermon, please do a quick Google search.) But in most cases, the opposite happened. ![]() ![]() He used his sermon entitled “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” to scare people into obedience. The most graphic description of hell was written by Jonathan Edwards, a Puritan minister. What if Darwin did not believe the horrific teachings of the majority of Christians? Maybe, he would not question God’s love and come up with the Theory of Evolution that has led many dictators and tyrants to believe that human life is as insignificant as the life of a cockroach and worm. And this is a DAMNABLE doctrine” (quoted by Paul Martin, The Healing Mind: The Vital Links Between Brain and Behavior, Immunity and Disease, 1997, p. 327). “Thus disbelief crept over me at a very slow rate, but was at last complete… I can indeed hardly see how anyone ought to wish Christianity to be true for if so, the plain language of the text seems to show that the men who do not believe…will be everlastingly punished. The doctrine of an ever-burning fire has turned off a lot of people down the century. Try as hard as you can, but you can’t justify the idea of God burning people forever in hell. As expected, you can’t adequately defend a teaching that is not rooted in the Bible. As I was reading the article, I felt sorry and sad for the author and all Christians out there who believe that God will burn people forever in hell. ![]()
