Revelation 20:11–15 (KJV 1900)

And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.

This is the second death.

And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

2 Peter 2:4 (KJV 1900)

For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

Hell = Tartarus - deep or bottomless chasm.

Revelation 20:1–3 (KJV 1900)

And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

Three views of Hell

Universalists

Jesus died for the sin of the world so all the world will be saved.

John 1:29 (KJV 1900)

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

1 Timothy 2:6 (KJV 1900)

Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

1 John 2:2 (KJV 1900)

And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

No hell but on earth

IF you go to hell, it’s only for a short time

Philippians 2:10–11 (KJV 1900)

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Under the earth… saved in hell.

Problem - takes away mans fee will!

Mark 16:15–16 (KJV 1900)

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

John 3:16–18 (KJV 1900)

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Choice is yours!

2 Thessalonians 1:8–9 (KJV 1900)

In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

1 John 5:11–12 (KJV 1900)

And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

Hebrews 9:27 (KJV 1900)

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Revelation 20:15 (KJV 1900)

And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS READ THE BIBLE NOT TO BE A UNIVERSALIST!

Conditionalists

Punished proportionally according to their sin, when that punishment is over they no longer exist

If you are saved, you are given immortality

Soul is NOT immortal

ONE “PROOF” PASSAGE

1 Timothy 6:15–16 (KJV 1900)

Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting.

Amen.

All this is saying is only God cannot die!

2 Thessalonians 1:8–9 (KJV 1900)

In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Revelation 20:10 (KJV 1900)

And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Traditionalists

If disobedient, your soul will go to hell when you die, be called to the great white throne judgement and then cast into the lake of fire.

You have to be saved!

You have to tell others!
