Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
That hell is eternal, is stated again
and again, but most importantly, stated so by our beloved Savior!
Without
distinction, hell is the destination of the thief and the evil
warlord, and all who reject The Savior, Jesus Christ.

from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall
all flesh come to worship before Me, saith The Lord.

upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against Me: for
their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched;
and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
Daniel 12:2 KJV
And many of them that sleep in the
dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting Life, and some to

without end.

Mark 9:43-48 KJV (Christ
is speaking metaphorically.)
43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut
it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having
two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be
quenched:
44 Where their worm dieth not,
and the fire is not quenched.
45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut
it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having
two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be
quenched:
46 Where their worm dieth not,
and the fire is not quenched.
47 And if thine eye offend thee,
pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God
with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
48 Where their worm dieth not,
and the fire is not quenched.

Jude 1:7,11-13 NLT
7 And don’t forget Sodom and
Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, which were filled with
immorality and every kind of sexual perversion. Those cities were
destroyed by fire and serve as a warning of the eternal fire of God’s
judgment.
11 What sorrow awaits them! For they
follow in the footsteps of Cain, who killed his brother. Like Balaam,
they deceive people for money. And like Korah, they perish in their
rebellion.
12 When these people eat with you in
your fellowship meals commemorating The Lord’s love, they are like
dangerous reefs that can shipwreck you. They are like shameless
shepherds who care only for themselves. They are like clouds blowing
over the land without giving any rain. They are like trees in autumn
that are doubly dead, for they bear no fruit and have been pulled up
by the roots.
13 They are like wild waves of the
sea, churning up the foam of their shameful deeds. They are like
wandering stars, doomed forever to blackest darkness.
Revelation 14:9-11 KJV
9 And the third angel followed them,
saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image,
and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine
of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup
of His indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone
in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of The Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment
ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor
night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth
the mark of his name.
Revelation 19:2,3 KJV
2 For true and righteous are His
judgments: for He hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the
earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of His
servants at her hand.
3 And again they said, Alleluia And
her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
Revelation 20:10 KJV
And the devil that deceived them was
cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the
false prophet are (They had been
cast into the lake of fire 1,000 years before and are still there
suffering), and shall be tormented day and night for
ever and ever.
Revelation 21:8 NLT
“But cowards, unbelievers, the
corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol
worshipers, and all liars—their fate is in the fiery lake of
burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
How serious is the
decision of accepting or rejecting, The Savior, Jesus Christ!
Hebrews 10:31
KJV
It is a fearful thing to fall into
the hands of the living God.
To say not now, is
to refuse, God's Life Preserver, and forever to be lost, in a sea of
sin and judgment.
