Divine Judgment
God is the righteous judge of all humanity, and every person will one day give an account before Him. Believers are judged through Christ's righteousness, not their own; those who reject God face eternal separation from Him. No one escapes this appointment — the only question is whether you face it covered by Christ or on your own.

The Claim
The unsaved are completely destroyed and cease to exist. There is no eternal conscious punishment — the soul is extinguished rather than eternally tormented.
Scripture describes hell as conscious, eternal punishment. Matthew 25:46 uses the same word 'eternal' (aiōnion) for both the life of the righteous and the punishment of the wicked. Mark 9:48 quotes Isaiah describing a fire 'not quenched' and a worm 'that does not die.' Revelation 14:11 says the smoke of their torment 'rises forever and ever,' with 'no rest day or night.'
Original Language: Matthew 25:46 uses 'kolasin aiōnion' ('eternal punishment') parallel to 'zōēn aiōnion' ('eternal life') — the adjective 'aiōnion' is identical in both, demanding equal duration. Mark 9:48 draws from Isaiah 66:24, where the Hebrew 'tamid' ('continually') describes the worm that 'does not die' and fire 'not quenched' . Daniel 12:2 contrasts those who awake to 'everlasting life' with those to 'shame and everlasting contempt' — 'olam' (everlasting) is the same word for both destinies.
