Punishment of the wicked

Another question: do SDA hold to a doctrine of "annihilationism" for the impenitent? Again, thanks for your help.

Yes. We hold that the wicked will be cast into the Lake of Fire after the 1,000 years (along with Satan, the false prophet, death, etc) where they will be utterly annihilated, left without root or branch (Mal 4:1).

I cover this topic more in-depth in this essay if you wish to know more. Part 2 of this essay is directed at this very question you ask, but it might be a bit confusing unless you also read Part 1.

Thank you for all these good question! I love answering sincere inquiries like these and if my answers provide you a blessing then God's will is being done.

Keep 'em coming, jlujan69!

If that means no everlasting hell, yes. There is absolutely nothing biblical ever mentioned on everlasting hell. Therefore, why believe it?

I can remember, even as a kid, thinking "if the wicked are in hell through the ceaseless ages of eternity, then they have everlasting life just like the righteous. A different kind of life, but still life."

The wicked are not promised eternal life. They are promised a second death. A final death that they will never come back from.

The bible is clear--there are only two choices--life or death.

Ro 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

This is too plain for debate!!

Which is good since this isn't a debate forum. (I just had to say it again)

My biggest issue with the Hellfire and Brimstone brigade as I was growing up was trying to justify it with what I was ALSO being told was a God of Love. I remember thinking, when I discovered the truth through studying the bible, "Now THIS makes much more sense!"
