NASB | Matthew 25:46 "These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 25:46 "Then these [unbelieving people] will go away into eternal (unending) punishment, but those who are righteous and in right standing with God [will go, by His remarkable grace] into eternal (unending) life." [Dan 12:2] |
Bible Question: Is hell eternal? Or is it temporary? |
Bible Answer: Hell is described in Scripture as eternal punishment (Matt. 25:46). As a place of torment (Luke 16:23). As a place of eternal fire (Matt. 25:41). A lake of fire and brimstone whose occupants will be tormented day and night forever and ever (Rev. 20:10). ..... It's really scary to read and think about hell. But read we should and think we must, and thank God for the Lord Jesus who paid the price so that they who believe in Him will not perish [in hell] but have eternal life. Read John 3:16 and rejoice and thank God! --Hank |
