Will People Suffer In Hell?

Many people have asked me the question, “Where in scripture does it actually say that people will suffer in hell?”

Psalms 9:17 says, “The wicked shall be turned into hell and all nations that forget God.”

Matthew 13:40 says, “And therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire. So shall it be at the end of this world. The son of man shall send forth his angels and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend and them which do iniquity and shall cast them into a furnace of fire. There shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”

Revelation 14:10, “If any man received the mark of the beast, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation. And he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the lamb and in the presence of the holy angels and the smoke of their torment ascends up forever and ever. And they have no rest day nor night.”

Jesus Said Depart From Me

Matthew 25:41, “Depart from me, ye cursed into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels. That’s Jesus talking.”

Mark 9:47, again from Jesus, “And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out. It’s better for thee to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye than having two eyes to be cast into hell, where their worm dies not and the fire is not quenched.”

In Luke 12:4-5, Jesus said, “Be not afraid of them which kill the body and after that they have no more they can do, but I will forewarn you whom you shall fear: Fear him, which after he has killed has power to cast into hell. Yea I say to you, fear him.”

John 15:6, “If a man abides not in me, he is cast forth as a branch and men gather them and cast them into a fire and they are burned.”

Matthew 18:8, “If thy hand or foot offend thee, cut them off and cast them from thee. It is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into hell fire.”

Isaiah 66:24 says, “And they shall go forth and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me, for their worm shall not die. Neither shall their fire be quenched.”

Revelation 21:8, “But the fearful, unbelieving and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone.”

Psalms 11:6, “Upon the wicked he will rain, fire and brimstone in a horrible tempest.”

Matthew 22:13, Jesus said, “bind him hand and foot and take him away and cast him into outer darkness where there’s weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

Matthew 24:51, Jesus again said, “and he shall cut him in pieces and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites where there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”

Matthew 25:46, “And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into everlasting life.”

2 Thessalonians 1:9, “Those who obey not the Gospel shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power.”

Isaiah 33:12 says, “The people shall be as the burnings of limes, as thorns cut up, shall they be and burned in the fire. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings.”

There are many more verses, but you can see people will suffer in hell for all eternity. If you believe otherwise, the Bible says we need to be teachable, change our views and accept God’s Word only as truth.
