by D. Barry

It is clear that Plato and many Greek philosophers taught the soul was indestructible. However, the Scriptures teach the soul is destructible and immortality is only available when you accept the gospel. Who are you going to believe? The information in Conditional Immortality will convince you:

That the Traditional teaching about the fate of the lost (as eternal torment) is unbiblical and not hermeneutically correct.
That Conditional Immortality (also known as Annihilationism) is biblically correct and that all unsaved souls will be literally destroyed in hell (the lake of fire).
