Synopsis

TAKE A SECOND GLANCE AT THE SECOND DEATH.

Is Hell eternal torment? Is Hell annihilation? There's one way to find out: God's Word.

UPDATED VERSION: Now with Bible verses included in the See For Yourself section, where formerly they had only been referenced. Several grammatical improvements have also been made.

Did you know, God’s ancient people never envisioned hell the way we do today? Did you know, the shift from a biblical understanding of hell is documented in history? Most Christians remain unaware that a single root cause led to our misinterpretation of hell. This guide presents extensive biblical evidence that mainstream Christianity ‘Got Hell Wrong’ and points to the Scriptures to determine the truth. Being mostly comprised of Scripture, this book provides a space to hear God's voice above all others.

Here are 5 reasons why you should read this book:

1. It’s mostly comprised of Scripture:

Here, God's Word is the main event. Of course, being a guide, you'll be provided with helpful commentary, insights and an easily navigable format. Yet this book's main aim is to hear what God has to say on the matter (as seen in point 2).

2. You’re encouraged to See For Yourself:

The See For Yourself section challenges you to discern the truth about hell for yourself without external influence. You'll be presented with an exhaustive collection of Bible verses on hell and encouraged to highlight which view each Scripture seems to support. These include the verses commonly used in support of the major views on hell (eventual annihilation and eternal torment) to avoid bias. You'll then have the opportunity to tally up your results and discover what the Bible seems to teach before going deeper.

3. 3 Bible versions are included:

The ESV, KJV, and NRSV are literal word-for-word Bible translations. As we explore the nature of humanity, immortality & hell, the Bible verses are listed in these three translations to provide a fuller view of God's revelation. Besides this, the NIV translation is used for the See For Yourself section to aid understanding.

4. Biblical keywords and phrases are highlighted in bold:

With so much to see in God’s word, bold text will help you to focus on relevant keywords and phrases throughout the three main chapters. This allows for swifter reading and more in-depth study depending on the reader's preference.

5. Counterclaims are considered:

We will consider the Scriptures used to support the opposing arguments at the end of each chapter. This will allow us to be as thorough as possible and avoid a one-sided discussion.
