And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. Matthew 25:46
Is Hell eternal? Well first I would ask you, do you believe Heaven is eternal? I’m sure almost everyone has no problem with accepting that Paradise is eternal, so why do we have these same people who would say Hell is temporary or symbolic? If your going to be honest, you need to be consistent. God is eternal , and designed us to originally be eternal. Our destination is eternal , whether good or bad. You cant just pick of choose which qualities of God you like
When you look at the original Greek here, the word “aionion” This same Greek word is used when Jesus describes Heaven and Hell. This word is typically translated as “Eternal” or “Everlasting”. Now some would say “This word just means Age-ending”, meaning that its not eternal but temporal. The problem with this is, if your going to say Hell is temporal then you must also say Heaven is temporal.
This is why I said in the beginning, you cant have it both ways. Either Heaven and Hell are both eternal or not. There’s no way to theologically dance around this. This is one of the reasons I totally reject annihilationism or conditional immortality
Understand this , we must prepare for the eternal, whether good or bad. This life has eternal consequences, get Born Again and inherit eternal life. Amen!

Love how man tries to explain his way out of the clearly stated scriptures. Eternal is forever!

Yes there’s a big push in seminaries today to teach Hell is symbolic or temporal… Many professors are buying into it…it misleads many about the after life
