the damnation of helldamnation of hell?”

Mark 9:48 – “Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not

quenched.”

Matthew 18:8 – “Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them

from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or

two feet to be cast into everlasting fireeverlasting fire.”

Matthew 8:12 - “But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer outer

darkness: there shall be weeping and darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teethgnashing of teeth.”

Witnesses“Hell”…is the

grave.

Matthew 25:41 - “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from

me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels”

“A Heaven of infinite bliss and a Hell of infinite torment is an impossible contradiction. The kind of people who would qualify for Heaven would not be in bliss knowing that there are a lot of people suffering with no chance whatever for change. These suitable for Heaven would want to go to Hell to be alongside them in their needs. Jesus, as shown by the reports of his ministry on earth, would b e there alongside them too. God in His Heaven would find Himself lonely, and might well join everybody there- or change the whole scheme”

“What appears to the sense to be death is but a

mortal illusion, for to the real

man and the real universe there is

no death process”-
