Eternal sufferings

The Word of God teaches us that the everlasting Kingdom of God is a holy place in nature, and nothing unclean can enter it (Revelation 21:27). Those therefore who are not sanctified and born of God will not be able to enter the Kingdom of God (John 3: 3-8), they will not be clothed with the white tunic representing the holiness and righteousness of the saints:

"And when the king came in to see those who were at the table, he saw a man there who had not put on a wedding garment. And he said to him: 'My friend, how did you come in here without having a wedding garment. wedding ?" This man had his mouth shut, so the king said to the servants, "Bind his feet and his hands, and carry him away, and throw him into the darkness outside, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." For there are many called, but few chosen. ”” (Matthew 22: 11-14)

"Let us rejoice and shudder for joy, and give glory to him, for the marriage feast of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready. And it has been given to him to be clothed in fine pure and shining linen. . For fine linen is the righteous works of the saints. ”“ (Revelation 19: 7-8)

The Bible continues to teach that without sanctification no one will be able to enter the Kingdom of God (2 Peter 1: 3-14):

"Seek peace with all, and sanctification, without which no one will see the Lord." (Hebrews 12:14)

For those therefore who reject the grace of God and who therefore do not walk with him in consecration it is obvious that they will not be able to enter the Kingdom of God, but since all souls are eternal each person will go in an eternal place:

"since we do not look at the visible things, but at the invisible, for the visible things are only for a time, but the invisible are eternal." (2 Corinthians 4:18)

The Bible tells us about 2 paths and 2 destinations which are the Kingdom of God and Gehenna (the lake of fire and brimstone). Jesus tells us that the Path that leads into his Kingdom is narrow, difficult and he points out that few go through it, while the path that leads to eternal suffering is spacious, it is easy to take it, and many pass through it ( Matthew 7: 13-14).

There are certain doctrines which confuse the children of God and which preach something other than what the bible teaches, for some lead others astray by saying that the sufferings of those who did not believe and walk according to the will of God will have an impact. end. The bible clearly speaks to us for itself when it comes to eternal suffering for unbelievers:

"Then he will also say to those who are on his left: Cursed, depart from me and go into the everlasting fire, which was prepared for the devil and for his angels. For I was hungry, and you did not me. did not give food. I was thirsty and you did not give me to drink. I was a stranger and you did not take me in, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison , and you did not visit me. ” Then they will respond also, saying, “Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and we did not have you? served ?" Then he'll answer them, say, “Amen, I tell you, whenever you haven't done these things to one of these little ones, you haven't done them to me. ” And these will go to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life. " (Matthew 25: 41-46)

“But whosoever shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will never have forgiveness, but he deserves eternal judgment.” Now that was because they said, “He is possessed of an unclean spirit.” ”(Mark 3: 29-30)

"For it is righteous before God that he renders affliction to those who afflict you, and to you who are afflicted, rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power, with flames of fire, exercising vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.The just punishment will be eternal destruction, from the sight of the Lord, and of the glory of his might, when he comes to be glorified in that day in his saints, and to be admired in all who believe, because the testimony which we have given to you has been believed. " (2 Thessalonians 6:10)

"They are fountains without water and clouds stirred by a whirlwind: the darkness of darkness is reserved for them for eternity." (2 Peter 2:17)

"And the smoke of their torment will ascend from age to age, and they will have no rest day or night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name." (Revelation 14: 9)

"" But whoever scandalizes one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for him to have a mill stone put around his neck, and to be thrown into the sea. Now if your hand is for you it is better for you to enter life crippled than to have both hands and to go into hell, into the fire that does not go out, where their worm does not die , and where the fire is not extinguished. And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. Better for you to enter life lame than to have both feet and be thrown into it. Gehenna, in the fire which does not go out, where their worm does not die, and where the fire is not extinguished. And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. Better for you enter the Kingdom of God having only one eye, only to have two eyes, and to be cast into the fire of hell, where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished not." (Mark 9: 42-48)
