Hell is literally the removal and absense of God.
Another “chinese menu” christian? Pick and choose what you like?

Aren’t those standard beliefs for Seventh Day Adventists?
Carson = Loon E. Tunes.
I’m so done with him.
Anyone watching Ovomit or Hitlery on TV is standing on Hell’s front porch.
Too many instances of near death experiences visiting Hell (besides Dante’s) to discount the classical version.
Well .. Dr. Carson’s NON-belief of HELL .. doesn’t make HELL unreal.
The same is true of HEAVEN. Some people don’t believe in Heaven .. but that doesn’t make Heaven unreal.
GOD told humanity .. “I’ve set before you blessing and cursing .. Now .. you choose; BUT CHOOSE LIFE”.
When all is said and done; it will be what it IS no matter
what any of us *think*.
Matthew 25:31-46 - NLT
"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left."Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
"The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'
"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'
"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'
"He will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'
"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
Are we going to allow the media to set the agenda and choose our candidate for us. I mean they did such a great job picking McLame and Mittens.
“people will be raised from the dead”
Suppose an astronaut goes outside his spacecraft during a flight to Mars, tears a hole in his suit and drifts away, dead, into space. The Rapture comes and he is resurrected in his space suit, still drifting out into the void. “Oy,” he’d say, “Not thls s**t again!”
Other Christians believe that every soul that is departed form the body is currently asleep and only the righteous/saved will be awoken on the day of judgment. (This theory is totally unbiblical)
Romans 9:22 What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
Why is eschatological specifics a subject for a Presidential candidate? I am not voting on a futurist or preterist....or a post, pre, or mid millennial perspective.
Interesting discussion. For ANOTHER venue.
What he stands for is biblically sound. If you study what hell says, it is clear that you are separated from God forever by being burned up. What Carson is saying, and I agree with, is that the fire doesn’t endlessly burn; you are just endlessly destroyed and separated from God.
