Lesson 13 - What About Death? Part II (Cont'd.)

False Teachings Of The Cults About Hell:

1. That the grave is hell. 
2. That fire in hell is figurative. 
3. That punishment of hell is not eternal. 
4. That the wicked are to be burned up. 
5. That the wicked shall be annihilated. 
6. That people in hell will suffer absolute
destruction. 
7. That the wicked shall die and be extinct. 
8. People in hell will be destroyed, will perish and
be no more. 
9. That the wicked shall consume away like
smoke. 
10. That the wicked will be burned up like chaff the
fire will go out when it has done its work. 
11. That the wicked will be no more. 
12. That the place of the wicked shall not be. 
13. That the wicked will be devoured by fire. 
14. That the wicked dead will be given a second
chance and then if they do not accept Christ
they will be annihilated with the devil and all his
angels and demons. 

We shall consider these one by one, along with the
Scripture or assumption upon which the false teachers
base them after the following information and Scriptural
research. Most of the following information is by Dr.
Finis Jennings Dake in "Dake's Annotated Reference
Bible." My remarks are in [brackets]. 

[Information and Scriptural Research] 

"There are 5 distinct prisons in the under world of
departed spirits. Not one is the same as the gave, as
proved by the following points:

1. Tartarus (1 Peter 3:19; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6-7).
This prison is a special one for fallen
angels...No human beings...ever go to this
prison. 
2. Paradise (Luke 16:19-3 1; 23:43). This was the
abode of the righteous after physical death
where they were held captive by the devil
against their will until Christ conquered death,
hell, and the grave. It is now empty of the
righteous who go to heaven at death since
Christ captured the captives in hell and took
them to heaven with Him when He ascended on
high. 
3. Hell (Matthew 16:18; Luke 16:19-31). This is
the torment compartment of sheol-hades where
wicked souls have always gone and will always
go until the end of the Millennium Then the
wicked will be brought out of here to be reunited
with their resurrected and immortal bodies and
to be cast into the lake of fire for eternity
(Revelation 20:11-15). 
4. The abyss or bottomless pit (Luke 8:26-31;
Romans 10:7; Revelation 9:1-3, 11; 11:7; 17:8;
20:1-10). This is the abode of demons and
some angelic beings. No human soul or spirit
ever go to the abyss. The O.T. equivalent is
Abaddon and is translated destruction (Job
26:5-6; 28:22; 31:12; Psalm 88: 11; Proverbs
15:11; 27:20). 
5. The Lake of fire, This is the eternal hell and
perdition of all fallen angels, demons, and
wicked men (Revelation 20:6, 11-15, 2 1:8;
22:15). It is the same as gehenna (Luke 12:15).
It is the final hell prepared for the devil and his
angels (Matthew 25:4 1) and is eternal in
duration (Matthew 25:46; Revelation 14:9-14;
19:20; 20:10-15; Isaiah 66:22-24).

"There are 7 Hebrew and Greek words translated
hell and grave as follows:

1. Hebrew Sheol, the unseen world. It always
refers to the unseen world of departed spirits,
and is always in contrast with the Hebrew qeber
which means the grave, or the seen world
where bodies are buried. Qeber is always
translated grave burying place, sepulchre. It is
never translated hell and this is correct.
