What does Jesus say about hell or eternal punishment…
Jesus tells a parable about the torments of hell…
Luk 16:19-31 KJV There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime received thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou would send him to my father's house: 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
We learn people in Hell’s torments are conscience…they are present…and they are being punished eternally with no escape.
Jesus also said…
Luk 12:5 KJV But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
Jesus said to fear the One who can cast you into Hell after he has died…Jesus after he hath killed…then would send you to hell for punishment.
Mar 9:43-44 KJV 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 dies not, and the fire is not quenched.
Jesus said because of sin…people will be cast into hell and tormented with fire unquenchable.
Mat 10:28 KJV And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Jesus said fear Him who could destroy both soul and body in hell. God can send people straight to hell and not just their soul but their bodies too.
Mat 25:46 KJV And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Jesus taught Hell is eternal and is everlasting punishment…punishment in fire which will never end.
After reading these passages I find what is written which was spoken of by Jesus when He was here on earth…We learn from the Jesus’s parable people in Hell’s torments are conscience…they are present…and they are being punished eternally with no escape… Jesus said to fear the One who can cast you into Hell after he has made you die…Jesus said after He hath killed…then would send you to hell for punishment… Jesus said because of sin…people will be cast into hell and tormented with fire unquenchable… Jesus said fear Him who could destroy both soul and body in hell. God can send people straight to hell and not just their soul but their bodies too… Jesus taught Hell is eternal and is everlasting punishment…punishment in fire which will never end.
So Jesus taught…Hell is real…is eternal…with fire which cannot be quenched…people are conscience and know they are being punished…God can kill you and send you to Hell for any one sin…Hell is not where you want to end up! Choice, not chance, determines destiny.
Father please confirm this truth to us and help us to fear You and Your punishment in Hell…please grant us repentance so we can change and do right by You in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
