Lies:

      • Jesus said, “Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot
        kill the soul” (Matthew 10:28, ESV). This shows the soul
        continues beyond the death of the body.

      • Jesus said it will be more tolerable on the day of judgment for
        Sodom and Gomorrah than for the cities that rejected Him
        (Matthew 10:15; 11:22-24). Degrees of tolerability require
        conscious awareness. Nonexistence does not vary by degree.

      • Jesus also said of Judas, “It would have been better for that
        man if he had not been born” (Mark 14:21, ESV). That cannot be
        true if Judas simply ceased to exist. Nonexistence is not worse
        than existence unless post-death punishment consciously occurs.

      • Paul said, “We would rather be away from the body and at home
        with the Lord” (2 Corinthians 5:8, ESV). This means the
        believer’s soul goes to be with Christ after death.

      • Jesus told of Lazarus who was comforted after death, while
        the rich man was in torment and flame, conscious enough to
        speak, remember, and feel regret (Luke 16:22–25). Parables and
        symbols do not teach the opposite of what they mean. They
        convey truth. So simply saying "parable" or "symbol" doesn't
        disprove or automatically dismiss the stated fact of conscious
        existence in comfort or torment after physical death. Further,
        this account names actual people by name, which parables never
        do.

      • John wrote, “The smoke of their torment goes up forever and
        ever, and they have no rest, day or night” (Revelation 14:11,
        ESV). This cannot describe unconscious nonexistence.

      • Jesus said, “It is better for you to enter life crippled than
        with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire” (Mark
        9:43, ESV). The fire is unquenchable, not momentary. An eternal
        fire serves no purpose unless what it burns endures.

      • Revelation 20:10 says the devil, the beast, and the false
        prophet “will be tormented day and night forever and ever.” It
        does not say they will cease to exist.

      • Jesus said God is “not God of the dead, but of the living,”
        referring to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Matthew 22:32, ESV),
        affirming their conscious existence after death.

      • The thief on the cross was told, “Today you will be with me in
        Paradise” (Luke 23:43, ESV). Jesus did not say “after
        resurrection,” but “today,” showing conscious life after death.

These passages all affirm conscious existence and consequences, either 
of comfort or judgment after physical death. The Bible nowhere teaches 
annihilation after physical death.

Satan's Witnesses promote these lies about what happens when you die, to 
comfort you into the false-gospel delusion that you can reject Christ as 
Savior, and somehow still escape conscious eternal torment without him. 
Anyone who is led to believe that lie, will thereby be led to suffer the 
very conscious eternal torment that Satan's Witnesses pretend their lies 
deliver you from.

Jesus is God: christrose.news/Jesus-God.

The solitary true and saving gospel is that Christ died for our sins and 
rose from the grave (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Galatians 1:8-9). Any 
modification of this gospel is false and leads to conscious, eternal 
torment in the lake of fire (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9; John 3:36; 
Revelation 14:11; Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:10-15). Unless you 
believe Jesus is God, you will die in your sins (John 8:24).

Jesus took our place on the cross to settle our debt with God 
(Colossians 2:14), and God confirmed the acceptance of this payment by 
raising Him from death (Romans 1:4). Thus, God remains holy while 
justifying the ungodly (Romans 3:26) and shielding them from future 
wrath (1 Thessalonians 1:10). This blessing is a free gift given to 
those who believe (Romans 6:23). Place your confidence in Christ and 
call on Him for salvation (Romans 10:9-13):
