Bible Note: this is an interesting response, didnt the origional questioner ask for biblical references??? :) "It leaves the sinner facing no eternal consequences for his sin;" errr.. being eternally dead IS an eternal consequence Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. "Indeed, many people today think annihilation preferable to even this life. They live on only because they cannot shake the conviction that there is “hell to pay.”" it may be some peoples opinion that annihilation is not much of a punishment... but consider the way the execution of the punishment is described, ie burning in fire and brimstone(personally i would think that burning to death would be about the worst way to go). besides the world today is ignorant of what God has in store for us, i think the biggest punishment will be in missing out on communion with God etc especially as the whole universe will see and acknowledge that Jesus is worthy of glory honor and power. 1Co 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. Rev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. Rev 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. Rev 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. Rev 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. |
