I am 72 years old and have been a born again Christian most of my life. Until a few years ago, I had never heard of the theology of annihilationism. I had been taught that the unbeliever suffers eternally in the fires of Hell. I've always had a problem with that and I've talked to God about...

Hello ex-SDA here, But for being taught by a pastor that Michael the archangel was Jesus, we return to the dust when we die, Sunday worshippers receive the mark of the beast, Jesus entering the 'heavenly sanctuary' in 1844, Ellen white being the end-times prophet of God, and the pope is the...

The Bible uses the phrase “second death” four times, all in the book of Revelation (Revelation 2:11, Revelation 20:6, Revelation 20:14, and Revelation 21:8). What does “second death” mean? In a way this question can be answered very simply: Second death means simply to die a second time...

God’s Word teaches us what to believe. We learn specific truths from the Bible, sometimes called “doctrines”, or more simply “beliefs”. The Bible also teaches us to think like God thinks. The more we read and listen to His Word, the more our thought patterns become like His. In this opening...

Please post any Scripture passages that you think prove that Annihilationism is untrue in this thread. Let's discuss them. I have only one other request, please be polite when you post here, I've had a lot of bad experiences with people who think that God plans to have the unrepentant tortured...
