The Bible teaches about death and hell…that those who reject God’s message of reconciliation and gift of eternal life will be cast into the lake of fire,which is described as “the second death.” This is eternal damnation with no hope of resurrection. The purpose ofHELL KNOWis to examine the Holy Scriptures to determine the precise nature of death and hell, the “second death,” and show through a detailed study that refers to the soul’s literal everlasting destruction and not to eternal torment. More and more Biblically sound evangelical Christians are coming to realize this important scriptural truth about death and hell.
Let me emphasize beforehand that there’s absolutely no disputing the fact that eternal damnation is a horrifying reality in Christian thought. We should take the Bible’s repeated warnings about death and hell seriously, and encourage others to do the same.
I do not attempt to prove the existence of God or the reliability of the Judeo-Christian Scriptures; such issues are beyond the scope of this writing.
This study is intended for anyone who has an interest in finding out what the Bible plainly and consistently teaches about death and hell and related subjects (including a fascinating exploration of human nature in Appendix B). So, whether you’re a devoted Christian, a doubting Christian, an agnostic, an atheist — or simply a fellow human being who disdains all such labeling — I welcome you on this journey of discovery.
This is the CONTENTS PAGE to HELL KNOW. Below you will find introductions and links to all 12 chapters (10 regular chapters and 2 appendixes, plus a bibliography). God Bless You!

Here we shall look at prominent biblical examples of literal everlasting destruction that back-up the numerous passages which blatantly state that unrighteous people will be destroyed in the lake of fire and not suffer never-ending roasting torment, such as Matthew 10:28, 2 Thessalonians 1:9 and 2 Peter 3:7.

Let's discuss the great lie of the "immortal soul."

Let's discuss the Bible and Hell. Since the Bible doesn't teach that unredeemed people possess immortality or that they will suffer eternal torment in the lake of fire, the only way adherents of these beliefs can defend their position is by milking a small number of passages for details that ...

Let's discuss hell and false doctrine. Although the most important reason for rejecting eternal torture is the simple fact that the Bible does not teach it, there are other strong arguments in opposition to it, not the least being that it is utterly repulsive to the instinctive moral and judicial ...

The view of everlasting destruction is presented by Mr. Fudge and he does a great job as his case rests totally on Scripture, which, of course, ... Read More
Hell is not eternal torment. As pointed out a couple of times in this study, the doctrine of eternal torment is the silent subject of the church. This is strange when considering the importance of the issue of eternal damnation -- it literally deals with the eternal fate of masses of humanity. Yet ... Read More
The question, "What does the Old Testament say about hell?" is important. The scriptural support for literal everlasting destruction is so immense that I actually had to limit what I included in the main body of HELL KNOW. I felt I provided more than enough evidence and that, to include ... Read More
