Hän sanoo, että molemmat ja Ilmestyskirjan kirjoittaja (josta hän on varma, ettei se ollut apostoli Johannes) opettivat annihilationismia (he Christian doctrine that sinners are permanently destroyed rather than being confined to Hell). Hän yksinkertaisesti jättää huomiotta tai tulkitsee uudelleen kohtia päinvastaisiksi (esim. Jes. 66:24 ; Dan. 12:2 ; Matt. 25:41 , 46 ; Mark. 9:43 , 48 ; 2. Tess. 1:9 ; Juud. 7 , 13 ; Ilm. 14:9–11 ; 20:10 , 14–15 ).
ellauri499.html on line 445: The main Biblical arguments for annihilationism rest in the mortality of man and the just punishment for sin (1 Timothy 6:15-16; 1 Corinthians 15:53-55; Romans 6:23). They claim that the popular conceptions of Hell stem from Jewish speculation during the intertestamental period, belief in an immortal soul which originated in Greek philosophy and influenced Christian theologians, literal interpretation of symbols in Revelation, and also graphic and imaginative medieval art and poetry. The New Testament teaches that the wicked will be punished with destruction for their sins (cf. Matthew 10:28; Acts 3:23; Philippians 3:19; 1 Thessalonians 5:3; 2 Thessalonians 1:9; 2 Peter 2:6; 2 Peter 3:7; Jude 1:7).
xxx/ellauri165.html on line 664: An midway position between universal reconciliation and eternal torment is the doctrine of annihilationism, often in combination with Christian conditionalism. Some Christian leaders, such as influential theologian Martin Luther, have hypothesized other concepts such as "soul death".
xxx/ellauri165.html on line 666: In Christianity, annihilationism (also known as extinctionism or destructionism)[1] is the belief that those who are wicked will perish or cease to exist. It states that after the Last Judgment, all unsaved human beings, all fallen angels (all of the damned) and Satan himself will be totally destroyed so as to not exist, or that their consciousness will be extinguished rather than suffer everlasting torment in Hell (often synonymized with the lake of fire). Annihilationism stands in contrast to both belief in eternal torture and suffering in the lake of fire and the belief that everyone will be saved (universal reconciliation or simply "universalism").
xxx/ellauri165.html on line 668: Annihilationism is directly related to the doctrine of Christian conditionalism, the idea that a human soul is not immortal unless it is given eternal life. The belief in annihilationism has appeared throughout Christian history and was defended by several Church Fathers, but it has often been in the minority. The Church of England´s Doctrine Commission reported in 1995 that Hell may be a state of "total non-being", not eternal torment.
