Bible Question:
What do the Scriptures say about eternal suffering in Hell vs. destruction of the soul itself? The verse above (Matthew 10:28) and others appear to indicate that the norm is eventual destruction of the soul itself. Other verses, however (like Matt 25:46), appear to indicate eternal suffering. And still others (Mark 9:47-48) focus more on the eternality of Hell itself. It seems clear from Rev. 14:11 that at least those who worship the beast and-or receive his mark will burn forever. However, Matt 10:28 (as referenced above) indicates that the soul can be and is destroyed. I have an earlier question related to this that can be accessed by searching under this same verse (Matt 10:28), and I closed it off after getting some excellent answers from kalos and JonnyRay49423 at that time. However, I'm looking for a little extra detail on the Scriptural statements this time. |
