Is Eternal Torment In Hell Biblical?
What if the Bible does not teach endless conscious torment—but destruction?
NOTE: Material fire can only act upon material substance. Therefore, literal, physical fire can not directly harm what is immaterial (a soul or spirit). This is simply true by definition, but God is teaching that God, who is a consuming fire, can destroy both the body, material substance, and the soul or spirit, immaterial substance
Hebrews 10:39 contrasts “them who believe to the saving of the soul” with those who draw back to “perdition.”
The Greek word translated perdition is apoleia (ἀπώλεια)—a term that consistently means destruction, ruin, or loss, not unending life in torment.
Throughout Scripture, apoleia is set in direct contrast to life, salvation, and immortality. This raises a crucial question:
If eternal life is a gift given only to believers, what is the final end of the wicked?
This is not an attempt to soften judgment or deny accountability—but to ask an honest, biblical question: Does the Bible teach eternal torment, or final destruction?
I encourage you to listen carefully, search the Scriptures for yourself, and consider whether annihilation better reflects both God’s justice and God’s mercy.
