Annihilationism

"Christ said, “Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell!” Matthew 10:28.

Adventists teach that death is an unconscious or dreamless sleep until the resurrection, and that after the second resurrection—the

resurrection of the unsaved after the millennium—judgment is executed upon the unsaved. 

They are cast into the lake of fire and consumed, so that they no longer exist. 

Nothing of them remains, neither a body, nor a “soul.” 

Other Christians sometimes refer to this belief, somewhat disparagingly, as “annihilationism.”

----Jesus clearly stated that both the body and the soul are destroyed in hell. 

---There is no eternal torment of a soul that cannot die. 

So when Seventh-day Adventists teach annihilationism, we are merely following what Jesus clearly and plainly said to His disciples."
