What is eternal death?

eternal deathaudio

Question: "What is eternal death?"

Answer: In short, eternal death is the fate that awaits all people who ultimately reject God, reject the gospel of His Son, Jesus Christ, and remain in their sin and disobedience. Physical death is a one-time experience. Eternal death, on the other hand, is everlasting. It is a death that continues through eternity, a spiritual death that is experienced on a continual basis. Just as spiritual life, by grace through faith in Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9) is everlasting life, eternal death is never-ending.

The most important question to be answered is “Does the Bible teach the doctrine of eternal death?” If the Bible doesn’t teach eternal death, then we can pack up and go home because there is no further debate on the issue. God’s Word, the Bible, is the infallible rule of faith and practice, and as such we must believe and teach only what it clearly teaches, and the Bible clearly teaches the doctrine of eternal death. We can point to several passages that explicitly state this, but for our purposes, only three will be needed, one from the Old Testament and two from the New.

• And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. (Daniel 12:2 ESV)

• And [the wicked] will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life. (Matthew 25:46 ESV)

• And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:15 ESV). In verse 10, we are told that the Lake of Fire burns “forever and ever.”

All three of these passages (and more could have been added) have as their main context the scene of final judgment. In other words, when Christ returns, three things will occur: 1) The general resurrection of “the living and the dead”; 2) the final judgment; and 3) the inauguration of the eternal state. Each of these passages demonstrates that during the final judgment of all people, Jesus will separate the righteous from the wicked. The righteous will be ushered into the final state of glory, while the wicked will be sent to the lake of fire for eternal punishment and torment. Note too (particularly in the Daniel and Matthew passages) that the same adjective (“everlasting” or “eternal”) is used to modify both “life” and “punishment/contempt.” What is true about one (life) must be true about the other (punishment), that both are eternal and last forever.

The doctrine of eternal death is not a popular doctrine to teach or proclaim. To do so often opens one up to scorn and ridicule. However, we must not let that detract us from what the Bible so clearly teaches; namely, that due to our being born in sin and trespasses, we are under the just condemnation of God for our sin. If we do not embrace the saving message of Jesus Christ, we will perish in our sin and trespasses and be under God’s just judgment for our sin—eternal death. This is a sobering doctrine and requires the utmost care and compassion in its presentation.

 Notice how the Trinitarian says:

Eternal death, on the other hand, is everlasting. It is a death that continues through eternity, a spiritual death that is experienced on a continual basis. 

Did you see the Trinitarian CONTRADICTION: It is a death that continues through eternity, and then goes on to say: a spiritual death that is experienced on a continual basis. 

Where does the Bible ever teach only a part of a person DIES?

Please look out for my article on the SOUL, and the Rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19.

Jesus said in Mathew 10:28 that both the BODY and the SOUL of the UNSAVED will be DESTROYED, and called this the second DEATH.

GOD or Jesus did not say the SOUL was immortal and would SURVIVE DEATH and will live on after the second DEATH burning in HELL FIRE for EVER.

Ezekiel 18:4

Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins, he shall (DIE).

There are children that understand DEATH ends with total, literal, ANNIHILATION.

The second DEATH means the literal END, and does NOT mean that any form of LIFE that has been destroyed continues to experience LIVING on a continual basis. 

Notice how Jesus tells us in John 11 how Lazarus has fallen asleep:

11 He said these things, and after this He says to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go that I may awaken him.”

12 Therefore His disciples said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well.” 13Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that He speaks of the rest of sleep.

And then we read Lazarus is DEAD:

14 So then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has died, 15 and I am glad for your sake I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”

Unless you are GOD or Jesus, where nothing is impossible, they can raise the DEAD from DEATH, making the first DEATH temporal, which is why the Bible calls the first death, SLEEP.

Deuteronomy 32:39

"See now that I, even I, am he, There is no god with me. I kill, and I make alive. I wound, and I heal. There is no one who can deliver out of my hand.

Notice how the Trinitarian goes on to CONFIRM: and the Bible clearly teaches the doctrine of eternal death.

And yet we see here how this Trinitarian contradicts himself and the word of GOD and says the DEAD are not DEAD but are living forever burning in HELL FIRE.

As we read again, the Trinity faith is bursting with countless CONTRADICTIONS, as here they confirm: and the Bible clearly teaches the doctrine of eternal death.

And yet in their other hand the DEAD unsaved are NOT DEAD, and do NOT have eternal death, as they say, but are suffering LIVING and are ALIVE in HELL FIRE, which in fact is not eternal death, but is instead eternal life, if the DEAD are instead ALIVE suffering as they say.

Now we know what Trinitarians say, believe and teach, let's now see what Jesus believes, by reading His incredible words, which alone proves most of Christianity believe in a false (GOD the SON), instead of believing in the One True GOD, and His One True Christ.

These words by Jesus found in John 17:3 where Jesus is praying to His Father GOD reveal some very important truths, and would put an end to the greatest Christian deception and confusion, if most of Christianity would only listen and believe Jesus words:

John 17:3

Berean Literal Bible

Now this is eternal life,

that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.

1.

Jesus tells us His Father GOD is the ONLY ONE TRUE GOD ALONE, by the fact He does not say: that they may know (US), the only true God, but instead Jesus excludes Himself as being the same ONE TRUE GOD, and prays to His Father GOD saying: (YOU), meaning GOD ALONE is the only ONE TRUE GOD.

2.

These words by Jesus here praying to His Father GOD saying: (YOU), the only true GOD, go side by side with the greatest commandment by both GOD and Jesus in Deuteronomy 6:4 and Mark 12:29 saying we MUST have the knowledge and understanding of who GOD is and believe that Yahweh is the ONLY ONE TRUE GOD ALONE, who is the GOD of Israel, and who is ONE (PERSON) ALONE.

The Hebrew text of Deuteronomy 6:4 says: Hear, Israel: Yahweh is our God; Yahweh is ONE.

Mark 12:29 Berean Literal Bible

Jesus answered, "The foremost is, 'Hear this O Israel: The Lord our God is One Lord,

3.

By Jesus own words He proves He Himself is not GOD, but as He says in John 17:1 that GOD is His literal Father and He is GOD'S literal Son: Jesus spoke these things, and having lifted up His eyes to heaven, He said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You.

4.

And for this article the first words by Jesus in John 17:3 saying: Now this is eternal life, is the main subject of this article.

As we know most of Christianity within the TRINITY and the Oneness Pentecostal faith say, teach and believe that the UNSAVED will have ETERNAL LIFE burning in the lake of FIRE FOR EVER AND EVER who will never DIE.

So let's now see many more of the Biblical facts, by letting the Bible speak for itself, and discover if the doctrine of ETERNAL LIFE ROASTING IN HELL FIRE FOR EVER AND EVER is true or false.

1 John 4:1

Berean Literal Bible

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

1 Thessalonians 5:21

but test all things. Hold fast to the good.

Notice how Jesus said in the first part of John 17:3 Now this is eternal life.

No one needs to be a Bible Scholar to understand here Jesus is teaching to have (ETERNAL LIFE) simply means to LIVE FOR EVER and EVER and never DIE.

And yet what we find is that millions of Christians say, believe and teach the UNSAVED will also have ETERNAL LIFE living for ever, burning in the lake of FIRE FOR EVER AND EVER and will also never DIE.

And if  the UNSAVED also have ETERNAL LIFE, this would CONTRADICT the whole Bible including Jesus own teachings saying: Now this is eternal life.

This subject is very easy to understand that Jesus is telling us Now this is eternal life, that we all come to know His Father GOD who is the wonderful creator alone, and that we all come to know the Father of Jesus is the ONLY ONE TRUE GOD ALONE, and that we also all come to know Jesus, The TRUE CHRIST who is the Begotten SON of GOD.

Now this is obvious that the opposite to eternal life, must be eternal DEATH.

But according to most of Christianity they say, believe and teach the UNSAVED will also have eternal life in HELL instead of Heaven.

When the truth is NO ONE will have eternal life in HELL or in Heaven, because the Bible tells us the UNSAVED will be destroyed and DIE in HELL Matthew 10:28, Revelation 21:8.

While the SAVED will not live in HEAVEN but on this renewed earth Matthew 6:

9 Therefore pray you like this:  ‘Our Father in the heavens,  hallowed be Your name!  10 Your kingdom come.  Your will be done  as in heaven, so also upon earth.

Simply notice how Jesus did NOT say: Now this is eternal life,  BURNING in the LAKE of FIRE for the UNSAVED, simply because if the UNSAVED do not ever DIE, then that is also ETERNAL LIFE.

Jesus made this very clear by saying the UNSAVED will be DESTROYED Matthew 10:28 which will result in the SECOND DEATH, for those who DO NOT come to know and follow The Only TRUE GOD, and The Only TRUE Jesus Christ.

Just as Paul said in Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is (DEATH), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

We never, ever read Paul saying or teaching: For the wages of sin is eternal life, BURNING in the LAKE of FIRE.

But as Jesus, Paul makes this very plain and simple by saying: For the wages of sin is DEATH.

WHY is this so hard for millions of Christians to understand that DEATH means DEATH and NOT eternal life?

Just as it seems almost impossible for millions of Christians to understand that the word (ONE) in Deuteronomy 6:4 and Mark 12:29 means (ONE) person and NOT (THREE) persons called the TRINITY.

Let's now move onto many more Scriptures Proving THE UNSAVED Will Not Have ETERNAL LIFE ROASTING IN HELL FIRE FOR EVER AND EVER.

But instead will receive everlasting DEATH, because sin results in death, but those who are in the true Christ will reap eternal life.

Proverbs 11:19

Berean Study Bible

Genuine righteousness leads to life, but the pursuit of evil brings (DEATH).

Notice how there is nothing said in Proverbs 11:19 about the LOST living for ever, but instead we read how the lost will receive DEATH, which is ANNIHILATION.

In the old testament days GOD always warned His people about how obeying Him and walking upright would receive His blessings, but on the other hand for those who transgressed his Laws, by wilfully living in SIN and living in rebelliousness and worshiping false gods and TRINITY gods, would result in being punished, even to DEATH.

Deuteronomy 4:26

I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto you go over the Jordan to possess it; you shall not prolong your days on it, but shall utterly be destroyed.

Whether the Bible is referring to the first DEATH, or the second DEATH, this matters not, because if we DIE in our SINS, because we have been living according to fleshly desires, and unrepentant SIN, rebelliousness, and wicked deeds, this will always receive the final penalty for SIN, which is a second FINAL DEATH.

Romans 8:13

For if you live according to flesh, you are about to die; but if by the Spirit you put to DEATH the deeds of the body, you will LIVE.

Notice below how Trinitarian Barnes' Notes on the Bible tells us: you will sink to eternal death, which is odd as most Trinitarians do not believe the unsaved will have eternal death:

For if you live ... - If you live to indulge your carnal propensities, you will sink to eternal death; Romans 7:23.

Through the Spirit - By the aid of the Spirit; by cherishing and cultivating his influences. What is here required can be accomplished only by the aid of the Holy Spirit.

Do mortify - Do put to death; do destroy. Sin is mortified when its power is destroyed, and it ceases to be active.

The deeds of the body - The corrupt inclinations and passions; called deeds of the body, because they are supposed to have their origin in the fleshly appetites.

Ye shall live - You shall be happy and saved. Either your sins must die, or you must. If they are suffered to live, you will die. If they are put to death, you will be saved. No man can be saved in his sins. This closes the argument of the apostle for the superiority of the gospel to the Law in promoting the purity of man. By this train of reasoning, he has shown that the gospel has accomplished what the Law could not do - the sanctification of the soul, the destruction of the corrupt passions of our nature, and the recovery of man to God. Barnes' Notes on the Bible 

The only difference between the first DEATH and the second DEATH of the UNSAVED, is that GOD will raise all the DEAD out from the sleep of the first DEATH to be finally judged and sentenced to the second DEATH FOR EVER.

The Bible is very clear about teaching how there will be a resurrection of all the DEAD:

Acts 24:15 

having a hope in God, which they themselves also await, that there is about to be a resurrection, both of the just and of the unjust.

Proverbs 12:28

In the way of righteousness is life; in its path there is no (DEATH).

Throughout the whole Bible we always read how GODS righteousness will bring LIFE, but unrighteousness will bring (DEATH).

Jeremiah 21:8

World English Bible

To this people you shall say, Thus says Yahweh: Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of (DEATH).

We never, ever, read how GOD will raise the unrighteousness DEAD, to then give the unrighteousness DEAD, ETERNAL LIFE living somewhere else like the LAKE of FIRE.

Deuteronomy 4:26

I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto you go over the Jordan to possess it; you shall not prolong your days on it, but shall utterly be destroyed.

Deuteronomy 30:19

I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and (DEATH), the blessing and the curse: therefore choose LIFE, that you may live, you and your seed.

James 1:15 

Then desire having conceived, gives birth to sin; and sin having become fully grown, brings forth (DEATH).

There is nothing here by James saying sin having become fully grown, brings forth ETERNAL LIFE ROASTING IN HELL FIRE FOR EVER AND EVER. 

But we again see how James tells us sin having become fully grown, brings forth DEATH.

What does the word (PERISH) mean?

Does the word (PERISH) mean ETERNAL LIFE, if the UNSAVED will live FOR EVER?

Let's have a LOOK:

John 3:16

Berean Literal Bible

For God so loved the world that He gave the only begotten Son, so that everyone believing in Him should not (PERISH), but should have eternal life.

John 10:27–28 

27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and never shall they (PERISH) to the age, and never will anyone seize them out of My hand.

2 Peter 3:9

The Lord does not delay the promise, as some esteem slowness, but is patient toward you, not willing for any to perish (PERISH), but all to come to repentance.

In the Strong's Concordance we read the Greek word ἀπόλλυμι for (PERISH) means:

apollumi: to destroy, destroy utterly

Original Word: ἀπόλλυμι

Part of Speech: Verb

Transliteration: apollumi

Phonetic Spelling: (ap-ol'-loo-mee)

Definition: to destroy, destroy utterly

Usage: (a) I kill, destroy, (b) I lose, mid: I am perishing (the resultant death being viewed as certain).

[e] apolētai ἀπόληται  , should perish

Psalm 37:20 World English Bible

But the wicked shall (PERISH). The enemies of Yahweh shall be like the beauty of the fields. They will vanish-- vanish like smoke.

Notice how Trinitarian translators tell us (PERISH) does not mean ETERNAL LIFE, but instead we read (PERISH) means (the resultant death being viewed as certain).

And the HELPS Word-studies tells us (perish) implies permanent (absolute) destruction, i.e. to cancel out (remove); "to die, with the implication of ruin and destruction" (L & N, 1, 23.106); cause to be lost (utterly perish) by experiencing a miserable end.

Notice how we read Trinitarians saying the UNSAVED will: experience a miserable END.

And yet in their other hand they say the UNSAVED will NEVER have an END.

Just as we read in Barnes' Notes on the Bible:

7. that the word used here is the same in the original as that used to express the eternal life of the righteous; if one can be proved to be limited in duration, the other can by the same arguments. "The proof that the righteous will be happy forever is precisely the same, and no other, than that the wicked will, be miserable forever."

To be miserable forever, means one would have to be ALIVE FOR EVER suffering.

John 3:36

The one believing in the Son has eternal life, but the one not obeying the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."

Notice how we read in John 3:36 how the UNSAVED will not see life.

And yet MOST of Christianity say, believe and teach the DEAD UNSAVED will have LIFE and are still ALIVE in HELL, or will live in HELL on the second DEATH, which would mean the UNSAVED do still have LIFE, which contradicts John 3:36 saying how the UNSAVED will not see life, which simply means the UNSAVED will not have LIFE.

NOT seeing or having LIFE as John 3:36 tells us would mean the person would have to be completely DEAD, not ALIVE.

Living is existing and is LIFE, no matter if its in HEAVEN or in HELL.

Being conscious is having knowledge and is therefore LIFE.

If we are conscious of suffering by BURNING, then we are in PAIN, which is Living and we are existing and is LIFE.

Matthew 25:46

And these will go away into eternal punishment; but the righteous into eternal life."

What is eternal punishment?

The answer is given by Jesus in John 5:24

Truly, truly, I say to you that the one hearing My word and believing the One having sent Me, he has eternal life and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of (DEATH) into life.

Did you see what Jesus said: but has passed out of (DEATH) into life.

So the eternal punishment for the UNSAVED is (DEATH), NOT ETERNAL LIFE.

John 6:51

I am the living bread, having come down from heaven. If anyone shall have eaten of this bread, he will LIVE to the age. And also, the bread that I will give for the life of the world is My flesh."

1 John 3:14

We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. The one not loving abides in (DEATH).

Romans 1:32

who having known the righteous judgment of God, that those doing such things are worthy of (DEATH), not only are practicing them, but are also approving of those practicing them.

Romans 5:12

Because of this, just as sin entered into the world through one man, and (DEATH) through sin, so also (DEATH) passed to all men, because all sinned.

Romans 6:16

Do you not know that to whom you yield yourselves as slaves for obedience, you are slaves to him whom you obey, whether of sin to (DEATH), or of obedience to righteousness?

Romans 6:21

What fruit, therefore, did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is (DEATH).

Romans 8:6

For the mind of the flesh is (DEATH) but the mind of the Spirit, life and peace,

Romans 8:13

For if you live according to flesh, you are about to die; but if by the Spirit you put to (DEATH) the deeds of the body, you will live.

Romans 8:38

For I am persuaded that neither (DEATH), nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

Galatians 6:8

For the one sowing to his own flesh, from the flesh will reap (DECAY). But the one sowing to the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

To (DECAY) means to (PERISH), and as we have already seen Trinitarian translators tell us (PERISH) does not mean ETERNAL LIFE, but instead we read them saying (PERISH) means (the resultant death being viewed as certain).

John 10:10

The thief comes only that he might steal and might (KILL) and might (DESTROY). I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

Notice how the Devil: comes only that he might steal and might (KILL) and might (DESTROY). 

Notice how there is nothing by Jesus here saying the UNSAVED will LIVE FOR EVER with the Devil in the lake of fire.

But instead Jesus tells us the Devil: comes only that he might steal and might (KILL) and might (DESTROY). 

This is very easy to understand how being (KILLED) and (DESTROYED), means (ANNIHILATION) and does NOT mean ETERNAL LIFE.

 Revelation 2:11

The one having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one overcoming shall not be injured by the second (DEATH).

And yet many Christians say the UNSAVED will NOT receive DEATH, because they say the UNSAVED will NOT DIE.

Revelation 20:6

Blessed and holy is the one having a part in the first resurrection! Over these the second (DEATH) has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with Him a thousand years.

Revelation 20:6 tells us the saved will not have a second (DEATH).

And yet many Christians say the UNSAVED will also NOT have a second (DEATH), because they say they will always LIVE.

Revelation 20:14

And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second (DEATH), the lake of fire.

And yet many Christians say DEATH for the UNSAVED does not mean DEATH, but instead means ETERNAL LIFE.

Ezekiel 18:4

Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins, he shall (DIE).

And yet many Christians say the UNSAVED will NOT DIE.

Ezekiel 18:21

But if the wicked turn from all his sins that he has committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die

And yet many Christians say the UNSAVED will also NOT DIE.

Ezekiel 33:11

Tell them, As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, I have no pleasure in the (DEATH) of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn, turn from your evil ways; for why will you die, house of Israel?

Psalm 145:20

Yahweh preserves all those who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy.

How can the UNSAVED LIVE FOR EVER in HELL if they are DESTROYED?

Obadiah 1:15-16.

For the day of Yahweh is near all the nations! As you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return upon your own head. For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so will all the nations drink continually. Yes, they will drink, swallow down, and will be as though they had not been.

Matthew 10:28

And you should not be afraid of those killing the body but not being able to kill the soul. Indeed rather you should fear the One being able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

Isaiah 55:5-6

Behold, you shall call a nation that you don't know; and a nation that didn't know you shall run to you, because of Yahweh your God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you."

Seek Yahweh while he may be found; call you on him while he is near:

Psalm 104:35

Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Praise Yah! 

Psalm 104:35 tells us: Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. To be consumed out of the earth, simply means to be destroyed and removed from the earth.

Psalm 104:35 tells us: the wicked will be no more, in other words the wicked will NO MORE EXIST.

And yet many Christians say the UNSAVED will ALWAYS EXIST in the lake of fire.

As we have seen, just some of many COUNTLESS Scriptures saying and teaching THE UNSAVED Will Not Have ETERNAL LIFE ROASTING IN HELL FIRE FOR EVER AND EVER, but instead will receive the penalty for SIN which is DEATH.

Revelation 21:8

But to the cowardly and unbelieving and having become abominable and murderers and the sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their portion is in the lake burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second (DEATH)."

Notice how we DO NOT READ in Revelation 21:8 saying the UNSAVED will NOT have a second (DEATH), which would be the case if it were true that the UNSAVED do NOT DIE.

I could go on for ages, so I will now close by leaving you with the wonderful verse in Revelation 21:4: 

Revelation 21:4 There will be no more DEATH' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

Revelation 21:4 tells us: There will be no more (DEATH).

Could the many Christians who say, believe and teach, the DEAD unsaved are not DEAD and will never DIE, be correct?

Because Revelation 21:4 tells us: There will be no more (DEATH, which seems to prove the DEAD unsaved have already received DEATH instead of LIFE in HELL.

 The Good News:

Very soon, and in the very END, GOD will raise the DEAD, reward the righteous and remove, kill and destroy the wicked, the ungodly, and the unrepentant sinners, FOR EVER, creating a perfect world with NO sinners causing evil, rebellion, suffering or any SIN, but where Yahweh the One True GOD, and Jesus the prince of peace and their righteousness and the saints will live FOR EVER, in peace and harmony, loving and honouring our Father GOD who brought us into existence, through our saviour Jesus Christ who paid the price for our sins.

2 Corinthians 5:17

Berean Literal Bible

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away; behold, the new has come into being.

Revelation 21

A New Heaven and a New Earth

1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea is no more. 2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, having been prepared as a bride having been adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying:

“Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men,

and He will tabernacle with them,

and they will be His peoples,

and God Himself will be with them as their God.

4 And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,

and death will be no more

nor mourning nor crying nor pain;

they will be no more,

because the former things have passed away.”

5 And the One sitting on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He says, “Write this, because these words are faithful and true.” 6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the one thirsting I will give of the spring of the water of life freely. 7 The one overcoming will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son.

8 But to the cowardly and unbelieving and having become abominable and murderers and the sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their portion is in the lake burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

Part 4. The true meaning of Matthew 25:46.

And these will go away into (eternal) punishment; but the righteous into (eternal) life."

In this verse many Christians within the Trinity and the Oneness Pentecostal faiths have again become confused with understanding the simple truth of what Jesus is teaching here saying: And these will go away into eternal punishment.

Many believe because Jesus said the word (eternal), Jesus was teaching here the unsaved will go away into (eternal) fire which will burn the unsaved day and night for ever and ever, who will be roasted (eternally), never ending and never dying, as they teach.

As we see in Barnes' Notes on the Bible:

7. that the word used here is the same in the original as that used to express the eternal life of the righteous; if one can be proved to be limited in duration, the other can by the same arguments. "The proof that the righteous will be happy forever is precisely the same, and no other, than that the wicked will, be miserable forever."

In other words Trinitarian Barns confirms:  than that the wicked will, be miserable (BURNING) forever."

Matthew Poole's Commentary

So then it seems they shall rise as well as the other; though they live in the lands of the Grand Seignior, or the Great Mogul, they shall not (as some filthy dreamers have thought) have such a quiet sleep in the graves, but that the sound of the last trump shall awaken them. Nor are they out of the jurisdiction of him that shall be the Judge both of the quick and the dead. Nor shall they escape a judgment without the law, because they have sinned without the law: For the invisible things of God from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead, Romans 1:20. They shall perish (as they have sinned) without the law, Romans 2:12. They shall go into everlasting punishment, not a punishment for a time, as Origen thought.

But the righteous, those who shall be so adjudged, being made so in this life by the imputed righteousness of Christ, and accepted as such for their holy and sincere conversation, though in many things imperfect, shall go

into life eternal; which doth not signify a mere eternal existence, (for so the worst of men shall live eternally, or else they could not be capable of eternal punishment), but a happy and blessed estate, which shall never have an end: and thus eternal life always signifieth in Scripture, being opposed to eternal death, everlasting fire, the worm that never dieth, &c. Thus endeth Christ’s kingdom of grace; or rather, thus shall begin his kingdom of glory; all his enemies being put under his feet, and none remaining but this glorious King, and those who shall be his true subjects. Of which kingdom shall be no end.

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

And these shall go away into everlasting punishment,.... Their excuses will not be regarded, their pleas will be of no avail, their pretensions to interest in Christ, and love to him, will be set aside; the sentence will remain irrevocable, and there will be no appeal from it, for there is no higher tribunal to bring the cause before; judgment having passed, the execution of it immediately follows: these goats, or formal professors, shall be obliged, whether they will or not, to depart from the presence of Christ; the angels will be ordered to take and cast them into everlasting burnings; they will be driven by them into hell, the place appointed for them; where they shall endure "everlasting punishment", as the Jews (p) also express it; and that both in soul and body, as the just desert of sin; which being committed against an infinite God, cannot be satisfied for by a finite creature; who therefore must ever bear the punishment of it, because its pollution and guilt will always remain:

but the righteous into life eternal; such as are justified by the righteousness of Christ, and who, though they have done works of righteousness under the influence, and by the assistance of the grace of God, yet have not depended upon them, but upon Christ, for life and salvation: these shall go into heaven, the place appointed for them, to enjoy that eternal life in soul and body, which is the free gift of God, through Christ; and will be a life free from all the sorrows of the present one; a life of perfect holiness and knowledge, and inconceivable pleasure; a life of vision of God, and communion with him, and which will continue for ever; and which ascertains the eternity of the punishment of the wicked: for as the happiness of the righteous will be eternal, the punishment of the wicked will be so too; for no reason can be given why the word which is the same in both clauses, should be taken in the one for a limited time, and in the other for an eternal duration. The Jews have a saying (q) which agrees with this last clause, "the world to come is not made but for the righteous",

(p) Caphtor, fol. 113. 1. Shalshelet Hakabala, fol. 71. 1.((q) T. Bab. Yebamot, fol, 47. 1.

As we read the Trinitarian commentaries believe Jesus is teaching the unsaved will have eternal life, by being punished, by burning FOR EVER and never dying.

However, we will see how Jesus was not teaching the unsaved will burn day and night for ever and ever, but instead Jesus was teaching the unsaved: will go away into (eternal) punishment, just as we read, and the righteous (will be rewarded) into (eternal) life.

Although we know the unsaved will go into eternal fire called Gehenna, HELL, the lake of fire Revelation 20:15, in this verse of Matthew 25:46 we clearly see there is nothing about fire or burning, but instead Jesus is talking about an (eternal) punishment and an (eternal) reward.

And below we see how Jesus refers to (the eternal fire).

Matthew 25:41

Then also He will say to those on the left, 'Depart from Me, those being cursed, into the eternal fire, having been prepared for the devil and his angels.

But so many Christians are confused and think Jesus is referring to (the eternal fire), that never STOPS burning.

When instead we will see in the coming verses below, that Jesus is referring to (the eternal fire) that does its job, that is not extinguished, until it KILLS and DESTROYS eternally and FOR EVER.

will go away into (eternal) punishment: To me this is obvious that Jesus is referring to the unsaved, who will receive an eternal (punishment), which is an everlasting penalty.

but the righteous into (eternal) life: Just as Jesus is also referring to the righteous who will receive an (eternal) reward, which is everlasting life.

And in Romans 6:23 Paul tells us precisely the (reason) for the (punishment), resulting in a deadly penalty, and for the righteous the gift of God which is eternal life:

Berean Literal Bible

For the wages of sin is DEATH, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

Notice how Paul did not say: For the wages of sin is ETERNAL LIFE BURNING IN THE LAKE OF FIRE DAY AND NIGHT FOR EVER AND EVER .

Paul tells the: For the wages of sin is DEATH, NOT ETERNAL LIFE BURNING IN THE LAKE OF FIRE DAY AND NIGHT FOR EVER AND EVER.

In fact there are no such teachings by Paul saying the unsaved will BURN DAY AND NIGHT FOR EVER AND EVER who will never die.

And what Paul taught was IDENTICAL to what Jesus taught and what the whole Bibles teaches us.

Jesus taught us in Matthew 10:28 that the unsaved will be DESTROYED:

Berean Literal Bible

And you should not be afraid of those killing the body but not being able to kill the soul. Indeed rather you should fear the One being able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

Jesus also confirmed that being DESTROYED, will result in the second DEATH, which will result in absolute destruction FOR EVER.

James 4:12 said: There is one Lawgiver and Judge, the One being able to save and to DESTROY. But who are you judging the neighbor?

DESTROY and DEATH, never ever means ETERNAL LIFE, but instead DESTROY and DEATH means precisely what it says: absolute destruction, DEATH, and (ANNIHILATION).

There are no such teachings in the whole Bible saying GOD will keep the unsaved BURNING in FIRE day and night FOR EVER and EVER.

Verses like Revelation 14:11, and Revelation 20:10 are completely misunderstood.

Matthew 3:12

whose winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will clear His threshing floor and will gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."

BURNING in fire dose not keep things alive, but instead as Jesus said will DESTROY and cause DEATH: Revelation 20:6

Blessed and holy is the one having a part in the first resurrection! Over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with Him a thousand years.

Please join me in Part 5 Scriptures Proving THE UNSAVED Will Not Have ETERNAL LIFE ROASTING IN HELL FIRE FOR EVER AND EVER.

There we look at the countless scriptures teaching how GOD will NOT BURN the lost FOREVER, and EVER, but how GOD will KILL and DESTROY the lost FOR EVER and EVER, implying utter destruction.

For the wages of sin is (DEATH), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

Welcome to Part 3. The true meaning of Mark 9:44

King James Bible

Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Very sadly modern Christianity does not represent true Christianity from the time of Jesus and the disciples.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1.

The TRINITY faith is terribly confused and is bursting with countless false teachings, and Bible contradictions and false modern Bible translations.

Here is another misunderstanding and false teaching within the TRINITY faith.

Mark 9:44

There are Trinitarians who believe Mark 9:44 which says: Where their (worm) dieth not, and the fire is not quenched, means: their (worm) is the soul of a person that survives death and does not die.

They continue to believe: and the fire is not quenched, means the unsaved will BURN in FIRE FOR EVER and EVER, and they will never die.

Let's clear up another Christian confusion and discover the true meaning of Mark 9:44 which says: Where their (worm) dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

There are many quotes in the new testament taken from the old testament, just like Matthew 1:23 which is a quote from Isaiah 7:14 for Jesus as Immanuel.

However many Christians are again confused with the words saying: God with us, in the end of Matthew 1:23 and wrongly believe God with us, is Jesus as GOD, when God with us simply means, God with us is actually  ''Yahweh'' The One True ALMIGHTY GOD of Israel was with His people by and THROUGH, DWELLING with His SON Jesus.

Just as Isaiah 8:8: the breadth of your land, O Immanuel.” Just as Isaiah 8:9: for God is with us, which is the same as Matthew 1:23 "God with us."

Now here is an obvious fact.

If Jesus was meaning in Mark 9:44 what most Christians believe that their (worm) is the soul of a person that survives death and NEVER DIES, then this belief contradicts the whole Bible, and Jesus own teachings, who tells us GOD will DESTROY, meaning (PUT TO DEATH) the sinners, the unsaved, and the wicked as He tells us in Matthew 10:28 because the penalty of SIN is DEATH Romans 6:23, NOT eternal life in the lake of fire, which Jesus confirmed was the SECOND DEATH Revelation 21:8

But to the cowardly and unbelieving and having become abominable and murderers and the sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their portion is in the lake burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."

DEATH means ANNIHILATION, and NOT ETERNAL LIFE, which is so simple and obvious to understand, and yet most of Christianity do not understand this simple fact.

There should not be any contradictions in the Bible, and if there is, then it should raise a red flag, proving there is something wrong, or we are not correctly understanding one or more of the Bibles teachings, probably because we have been deceived by false teachers.

The shocking truth is, as the TRINITY faith is full of Bible contradictions, this is obvious proof on its own that the TRINITY faith is a false religion, believing in a false Gospel, teaching Jesus is GOD, when the truth is instead Jesus is the SON of His One True GOD John 10:36.

According to the Trinity faith, both the saved and the unsaved who have died, have not died, but are still alive in heaven of Hell, when the truth is instead all the DEAD are at present ASLEEP: 

For this we declare to you in the word of the Lord, that we the living, remaining unto the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those having FALLEN ASLEEP.  1 Thessalonians 4:15.

Let's now see what the true meaning of Jesus teaching: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Mark 9:44

To understand what Jesus meant by saying Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched Mark 9:44, we need to dig deeper into the Bible and travel back through the old testament and discover the meaning of Gehenna.

The Englishman's Concordance tells us there is 12 Occurrences with the word Strong's Greek: 1067. γέεννα (geenna)

I will now pull out all the verses with the word (Gehenna).

Matthew 5:22: "....whoever shall say, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into Gehenna."

Matthew 5:29: "....it is better for you that one of the parts of your body perish, than for your whole body to be thrown into Gehenna."

Matthew 5:30: "....better for you that one of the parts of your body perish, than for your whole body to go into Gehenna."

Matthew 10:28: "....rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul [Greek: ψυχή] and body in Gehenna."

Matthew 18:9: "It is better for you to enter life with one eye, than with two eyes to be thrown into the Gehenna...."

Matthew 23:15: "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you... make one proselyte...twice as much a child of Gehenna as yourselves."

Matthew 23:33, to the Pharisees: "You serpents, you brood of vipers, how shall you to escape the sentence of Gehenna?"

Mark 9:43: "It is better for you to enter life crippled, than having your two hands, to go into Gehenna into the unquenchable fire."

Mark 9:45: "It is better for you to enter life lame, than having your two feet, to be cast into Gehenna."

Mark 9:47: "It is better for you to enter the Kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes, to be cast into Gehenna."

Luke 12:5: "....fear the One who, after He has killed has authority to cast into Gehenna; yes, I tell you, fear Him."

Another book to use the word Gehenna in the New Testament is

James 3:6: "And the tongue is a fire,...and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by Gehenna."

And the Strong's Concordance tells us the meaning of Gehenna:

geenna: Gehenna, a valley W. and South of Jer., also a symbolic name for the final place of punishment of the ungodly

Original Word: γέεννα, ης, ἡ

Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine

Transliteration: geenna

Phonetic Spelling: (gheh'-en-nah)

Definition: Gehenna, a valley west and South of Jerusalem, also a symbolic name for the final place of punishment of the ungodly

Usage: Gehenna, and originally the name of a valley or cavity near Jerusalem, a place underneath the earth, a place of punishment for evil.

(a transliteration of the Hebrew term, Gêhinnōm, "the valley of Hinnom") – Gehenna, i.e. hell (also referred to as the "lake of fire" in Revelation).

Gehenna ("hell"), the place of post-resurrection torment (judgment), refers strictly to the everlasting abode of the unredeemed where they experience divine judgment in their individual resurrection-bodies. Each of the unredeemed receives one at the Great White Throne Judgment (Rev 20:11-15), i.e. a body that "matches" their capacity for torment relating to their (unique) judgment.

From studying I have read In the beginning the word Gehenna came from the valley of Hinnom where evil kings of Israel sacrificed their children to their gods.

And in later times we know Gehenna became a dump outside a valley of Jerusalem, where dead animals and bodies were burned.

The word Gehenna has become a symbolic name for the final place of punishment of the ungodly, called the lake of fire.

Revelation 20:15

And if anyone was not found having been written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

Let's now look at the verses in question: Mark 9:44,46,48, King James Bible,

Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Mark 9:44 & 9:46.

KJV: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. .. (Both verses identical to each other, and to 9:48, which is still in the main text)

Reason: Both verses 44 and 46 are duplicates of verse 48, which remains in the text. Verses 44 and 46 are both lacking in א,B,C,L,W,ƒ1, and some mss of the ancient versions, but appear in somewhat later sources such as A,D,K,θ, some Italic mss and the Vulgate. It is possible that verse 48 was repeated by a copyist as an epistrophe, for an oratorical flourish.[18] The UBS text assigns this omission a confidence rating of A. Lincoln H. Blumell, A Text-critical comparison of the King James New Testament with certain modern translations, Studies in the Bible and Antiquity, vol. 3 (2011) page 86.

From my research and understanding, Jesus was referring to God's Judgment against the Wicked seen in Isaiah 66:

15 For, behold, Yahweh will come with fire, and his chariots shall be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

16 For by fire will Yahweh execute judgment, and by his sword, on all flesh; and the slain of Yahweh shall be many.

17 "Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves [to go] to the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating pig's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together," says Yahweh.

18 "For I [know] their works and their thoughts: [the time] comes, that I will gather all nations and languages; and they shall come, and shall see my glory. 19 "I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the islands afar off, who have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations. 20 They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to Yahweh, on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says Yahweh, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into the house of Yahweh. 21 Of them also will I take for priests [and] for Levites," says Yahweh.

22 "For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me," says Yahweh, "so your seed and your name shall remain.

23 It shall happen, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me," says Yahweh.

24 "They shall go forth, and look on the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they will be loathsome to all mankind."

Conclusion:

The words by Jesus saying: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched Mark 9:44, is simply a future prophecy of destruction of the unsaved as we read in Isaiah 66:15

For, behold, Yahweh will come with fire, and his chariots shall be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

16 For by fire will Yahweh execute judgment, and by his sword, on all flesh; and the slain of Yahweh shall be many.

Bible scholar Sr Anthony Buzzard told me:

The worms are simply those eating the dead carcases of the wicked. The Day of the Lord is the same event as the Parousia.

God will resurrect the dead saints and reward all the true people of God with immortality.

The wicked will be Burned UP and disappear as smoke Ps 37

So as we have seen, the Trinitarian doctrine who believe Mark 9:44 which says: Where their (worm) dieth not, and the fire is not quenched, they say means: their (worm) is the soul of a person that survives death and does not die, but burns for ever and ever, is wrong, but is instead figurative of a place of punishment and destruction.

I have added the whole verse that Jesus quoted from below:

Isaiah 66:

Rejoice with Jerusalem

7 "Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she delivered a son.

8 Who has heard such a thing? who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? shall a nation be brought forth at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth?" says Yahweh: "shall I who cause to bring forth shut [the womb]?" says your God.

10 "Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her;

11 that you may nurse and be satisfied at the comforting breasts; that you may drink deeply, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory."

12 For thus says Yahweh, "Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and you will nurse. You will be carried on her side, and will be dandled on her knees.

13 As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted in Jerusalem."

14 You will see [it], and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass: and the hand of Yahweh shall be known toward his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies.

God's Final Judgments against the Wicked

15 For, behold, Yahweh will come with fire, and his chariots shall be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

16 For by fire will Yahweh execute judgment, and by his sword, on all flesh; and the slain of Yahweh shall be many.

17 "Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves [to go] to the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating pig's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together," says Yahweh.

18 "For I [know] their works and their thoughts: [the time] comes, that I will gather all nations and languages; and they shall come, and shall see my glory. 19 "I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the islands afar off, who have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations. 20 They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to Yahweh, on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says Yahweh, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into the house of Yahweh. 21 Of them also will I take for priests [and] for Levites," says Yahweh.

22 "For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me," says Yahweh, "so your seed and your name shall remain.

23 It shall happen, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me," says Yahweh.

24 "They shall go forth, and look on the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they will be loathsome to all mankind."

And these will go away into eternal punishment; but the righteous into eternal life."
