The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!

The Biblical Existence of Eternal Hell

Hell is a place of eternal torment; that is, people in hell are punished for their particular and general sins; however, those that are placed on Christ at the Cross are not punished in hell but remain in eternal glory.  Hell is what Jesus endured at the Cross for His particular people; that is, no one who Jesus suffered for will ever be in hell.  Cults deny the biblical existence of hell, but the Gospel of unified imputed merit is the only solution for totally depraved and corrupt sinners.

Hell is Forever
Matthew 25:41-46 KJV
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:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

In Hell There is Eternal Punishment 
Matthew 8:12 KJV
12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Hell is Destruction
2 Thessalonians 1:9 KJV
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Hell is Spiritual Fire
Revelation 19:20 KJV
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Hell is the Second Death
Revelation 21:8 KJV
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Jehovah's Witnesses deny the biblical existence of eternal hell.  We profess the biblical doctrine of eternal hell because the Bible clearly teaches it.
