HELL
Matthew 25:46 (King James Version)
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
INTRODUCTION:
Hell is a real place where real people burn forever.
To deny the existence of hell is to deny the existence of heaven.
In Matthew 25:46, Jesus used the same Greek word when speaking of eternal punishment as when He spoke of eternal life and all in the same verse.
Hell is a place that burns with fire and all who die unsaved will Be tormented there forever.
