Heresies of Dishonor & Flattery SERIES: Eternal Torment {"hell"}

"It is a remarkable fact that all the heresies which have arisen in the Christian Church have had a decided tendency to dishonor God and to flatter man."
Charles Spurgeon


The teaching of Eternal Torment (an ever burning "hell")
Dishonors God by ascribing to Him the characteristics of His opponent Lucifer....for only someone diabolical would torment someone for eternity who lived only a few decades on this space fabric of time but rejected God. This Heresy has done serious damage to the image of Christendom's God.

It also Flatters men that his soul lives forever, is immortal, maybe in this case not in heaven among the saints, but non the less the myth that it lives on---a total Fallacy.

....the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.
Then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire.
This lake of fire is the second death.
Ezekiel 18:4/Revelation 20:5,14
