Waverly Church of Christ

To some degree we must take these terms that describe the destiny of the wicked as "figurative"...
How could you have darkness where there is fire?
How Could you have worms where there is fire?

But these terms are ones that anyone can relate to, which describe; Something we cannot possibly comprehend with our finite minds,
and a place of punishment reserved for those who "do not know God, and who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ" (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9)

It is natural to "revolt" against any idea such as "hell"; Unfortunately, many have revolted by trying to deny the reality of hell, and seeking to offer some other destiny of the wicked beyond this life,
But one cannot define away "hell" without belittling either the terribleness of sin or the holiness and justice of God.

A much better way to react to the truth concerning hell is to accept God's saving grace offered through His Son Jesus Christ, who died on the cross to save us from hell!
