There are so many people around the world today who refuse to worship God because they have been taught this false teaching of an eternal hell fire for the lost, and who's to blame them? Yes, the lost are cast into the lake of fire, but they 'burn up' and 'perish', they do not burn forever, and this truth about hell are in the Word of God.
Ezekiel 18:20 ...'The soul that sinneth,it shall die.'
John 3:16 ...'For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.'
Don't forget, we humans are in a natural 'fallen' state. Our natural desire is to sin. Now, are you going to tell me that God will burn in eternal hell fire, those who are lost, even though it was in their nature to sin? Do you get that? Our NATURAL desire in this flesh is to sin. How could God punish a person with that natural desire for sin, who lived for a mere 70? years, with eternal hell fire? This teaching of eternal hell fire is from satan to make God look like a mad tyrant who enjoys making people suffer, and in no way is it Bible truth!
What is Hell? There are four meanings of hell in the Bible. In the Old Testament, the word is 'sheol' which simply means 'the grave'. There are three different words in the New Testament which are translated 'hell'. Those three words are:Tartarus, Gehenna and Hades. Let's look at these three in the New Testament.
2 Peter 2:4 ...'For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell [Tartarus], and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment.'... This is interesting, because it says in this verse that God has already cast the angels who sinned (including satan) down to hell. Is satan and his angels roasting in hell fire now? No, they are freely roaming around this earth tempting and deceiving people. So what does this mean about hell? Well, the meaning of tartarus is 'dark abyss' or 'place of restraint'.
Their punishment is future. Satan and his angels have been cast out of Heaven and are bound to this earth, so the 'hell' in this verse is basically the earth. By the way, the 'chains of darkness' in this verse doesn't mean the angels are literally chained in a dark place, it is symbolic of them being 'bound' to the earth. They cannot get back into Heaven. So we now know the Bible truth about 'tartarus'.

Matthew 5:29 ...'And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell [Gehenna].'...... Did you see what Jesus said here? He said that the lost are cast into hell fire 'whole bodied'. Now how can someone who has just died, with their bodies in the grave be cast into hell fire with their body? It makes no sense. If it doesn't happen at death, when are the lost thrown into hell fire?
Matthew 13:40...'As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world....... The tares here are the lost. So it is at the 'end of the world', that the lost are cast into hell fire. Jesus here calls it a 'furnace of fire', so we are talking about a real fire.

Revelation also reveals the truth about hell fire. See the sequence of events below:
Revelation 20:12 ...'and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.'
Revelation 20:15 ...'And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.'
Revelation 20:14 ...'And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.This is the second death.'
Revelation 21:5 .....'And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold,I make all things new.'
So we have a clear sequence of events above. First, the judgment, which happens after Jesus returns. Then, those who are lost are cast into the lake of fire (hell fire), to die the 'second death'. And finally, all things are made new. Again, how can God make ALL THINGS new if the lost continue to burn 'forever'? It's impossible, the lost will have to 'burn up' and be completely destroyed. This hell fire will also serve to purify the atmosphere and the earth from all the chemical pollutants in it, and most importantly to forever destroy sin and wickedness.
The last of the three New Testament words for hell to look at is 'Hades'.
Revelation 20:14 ...'And death and hell [Hades] were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.'... So hades cannot be hell fire, because it is cast into the lake of fire itself. So what is hades? Well, the King James Version Bible and Strong's translates it as 'the grave'. This now makes sense, death and 'the grave' are cast into the lake of fire, which is the second death. To back this up, take a look at 1Corinthians 15:55 ... 'O death, where is thy sting? O grave [Hades], where is thy victory?'... The Greek word for grave here is 'hades'.
So we now know what hell is and the true meaning of the word 'hell'.
Tartarus means: A place of darkness or restraint. Where satan and his angels are now, on earth, cast out of heaven.
Gehenna means: A place of real fire (the lake of fire), where the wicked are punished, 'burned up' and destroyed and the Heaven and earth is cleansed ... 'At the end of the world'.
Hades means: The grave. All people who have died, the lost and the saints are resting there.Therefore, the Bible is; "The soul that sins shall die [second death]-Ezekiel 18:20. It's not found anywhere in the Bible that sinners will burn forever.

Nice one OP

this is not true. If you claim you belong to God depart from iniquity. You are only quoting the bible to support your evil desires and actions. You can actually live above sin because the bible says be holy just as your father in heaven is holy. Read Revelations 21:8.

Truth is when you give your life to Christ,all of your sins are remitted and then you become new,having a new nature which is not of sin but of Rightousness (this is the true nature that God intended for man,to be like Himself), and those that have this nature cannot sin!
Now in the event that this new creature who cannot sin falls into temptation,all he needs do is ask God for forgiveness.
Note that an un believer cannot ask God for forgiveness...
