#6 - Death really can be an everlasting punishment, precisely because you would miss out on eternal life.

There's a German Gospelrapper who's lyrics really stick with me: "Wenn du von Jesus hier nichts wissen willst, was lässt dich dann glauben, dass du bei ihm im Himmel bist." Translated: If you're not interested in getting to know Jesus here on earth, why do you think you're with him in heaven?
Really resonates with me. If people don't want God, they don't want heaven.

And the smoke of their torment will rise forever….what a terrifying statement. If the seriousness of hell were to get into our bones, we wouldn’t be able to stand the idea of losing a single person to hell - even our enemies. Our hearts would break for the lost in our prayer time. Let it be so Lord.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:

00:12 📘 The punishment for sins in the afterlife is not the same for everyone; it's geared toward the committed sins.
03:00 🚫 The speaker suggests that people don't stop sinning in hell, which implies a continued degree of punishment.
06:33 💔 Sin is often worse than we perceive it to be. Painful consequences or punishment can help reveal the severity of sin.
09:20 ⛓ Part of hell can be viewed as consequence, not just punishment, as a result of permanent decisions made in life.
14:00 🙏 While understanding of the concept of eternal punishment may be limited now, the speaker believes there will be eventual understanding and trust in God's judgement from a heavenly perspective.

We need a 6 hour Mike Winger study session on hell 😅

[MRT]

The worst part of Hell - the true punishment - is a complete absence of God. That's something that we cannot even comprehend - every ounce of His nature is gone...Love, peace, light, etc.

[deanwall]

You acknowledge that the sinner will receive DEATH. But you don't seem to know the definition of death. It's diffinitly NOT conscious torment.

[stephenbailey]

Excellent. What we don't know about the final judgement is much more than that which has been revealed.
We should hold all these things with humility.

Mike, though we are from diferent denominations, you and Micheal from inspireing philosophy did help me in my spiritual struggle, so i wish that you know that i appreciate your commentary. I hope you're having a good life, and may the Lord bless you

[johnatansilveira]

Mike, i'm from Brazil 🇧🇷 and i have been learning a lot from you. Your life and service is a blessing.

I’ve been an annihilationist for a while but I’d still love to hear an in depth study from you. Thank you for covering these challenging topics especially given how much flak I’m sure you open yourself to.

[LemonLimeJuiceBarrell]

What’s absolutely amazing about this topic is that it shows the bounty of God’s grace. We keep sinning and keep sinning and yet for so many of us God keeps pouring blessings on us anyway….blessings we definitely don’t deserve.

[PeterNine]

My favorite description of annihilationism ever: "you die die, die die die." 😂 thank you though for saying this could be a biblical view. I'm no biblical Scholar but I read the bible on my own and watch smarter than me guys like you a lot and the first time I was introduced to the idea something just clicked in my brain like ah that makes so much sense! Like just logically if the Bible says we get to go on living forever only in Christ, how could we possibly expect those who aren't in Christ to go on living forever even if it is in torment? I do appreciate the nuance you bring for both sides. Thank you for striving for unity! 👏

[CmanWizard]

The problem is there are enough different views of hell shown in the bible that one cannot be proven over another.
Also it does not matter if hell gets slightly less tormenting after a while, if it is infinite it is unjust.
Also it is not sinning that keeps people in hell, the only reason people are in hell is because of not believing. Christians believe in god and still sin at a high rate.
If sinners in hell do not have a chance to believe in god and heaven and repent and escape it, then hell is unjust.
And for all of the split families where they believe that one or more of their family members would be burning in hell for eternity, do you really think that they will be able to be happy in heaven and at the same time know that their other family members are burning in hell forever for simply not believing?

[thinkingtoinfinity]

Solid breakdown, questions, and thoughts on the topic. Thanks, Mike!!

[carloporter]

I love and appreciate you and your ministry Mike Winger. You are a true blessing. I've been struggling with my faith for a while now. But every time I hear one of your teaching it inspires and blesses me. I hope and pray that I can get back to a place where I am completely trusting in God and His will for my life. You are one of the best Bible teachers in the world. Please keep doing what you do.

[rbeysrl]

Thank you Mike, completely appreciate your heart and content. Been watching a few years now...

[leonnortje]

I am a father, even if my sons reject me I would never wish an eternity of punishment on them. Yet the Bible claims that if we reject Jesus (i.e. don't believe that he is the true son of God) we would be cast into the depts of hell for eternity. I just cant see how people see this as just. No matter how you try to sugar coat or justify the concept of Hell. It is beyond me how any person can think a loving god can see hell as good and just punishment.

[sidwhiting]

Point #2 is really interesting, and I certainly don't understand it. It reminds me of a C.S. Lewis quote: "The door to Hell is locked from the inside." In other words, the people in Hell are there because they don't want to leave. They preferred to go their own way in life, and that preference stays with them in death. I heard a quote from an atheist during a debate (maybe it was Christopher Hitchens?) that said: "Heaven would be Hell to me". He won't want to be out of Hell, and God certainly won't force him to leave against his will.
