Matthew 13:42

37 He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

40 “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42 They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.

If you’re pious, you live forever in heaven. If you’re sinful, you die. No eternal torment, no hanging out with demons. Dead.

  While forgiveness is good, I’m not sure forgiving all sin just for following Jesus is so great.
  
  It’s literally thoughts are more important than acts. I’m not convinced.

    Drag doesn’t understand the relevance. We’re talking about whether hell exists

    In Christianity it typically exists. The support for it in scripture isn’t very strong though.
    
    Hell is arguing about the existence of hell on Lemmy, I guess.
