Discrepancy About Hell

Posted By James Rafferty

Question: Why does there seem to be such discrepancy about hell? Most denominations seem to believe that there is everlasting or lasting torment in hell. The Seventh Day Adventist Church does not seem to hold this belief. My understanding is that hell or torment is two-fold. One is that it is the separation from God; the second seems to be that those who are separated will be thrown into the lake of fire and destroyed. Hell accordingly does not last forever, only as long as the person lives. Please help clarify what hell is and how to explain...

Answer:

"It is the first and highest duty of every rational being to learn from the Scriptures what is truth, and then to walk in the light, and encourage others to follow his example. We should day by day study the Bible diligently, weighing every thought, and comparing scripture with scripture. With divine help we are to form our opinions for ourselves as we are to answer for ourselves before God. . . ." Maranatha, p. 94
