“...be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.”
Two things: That scripture suppoorts the annihilationist view and, the word “hell” is a made up word. Jesus said Gehenna. It’s a real place he was using as a metaphore for utter destruction, not torture.
And a lot of people miss this, but in the bible, “Gnashing of teeth” means a person is bitterly angry.

“What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction?”
ROMANS 9:22
Not only is hell real Cuban leaf....but God will give you a vessel..(body) that will be made to eternally endure the torment of it....
Listen to the message. Hear the Holy Spirits warning.
Thank you!! I have to explain this over and over and over. The "servants" gnashing their teeth are "Christians" that do nothing for Christ, but know He is coming back. When the Rapture comes, they will be left behind to face the Beast and a beheading. They will know that they must die for Christ or get a plague and then go to hell. That should lead to weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Most Christians will say, I'm saved,..I'm going". You are not saved by works, but you are saved FOR works. If you were saved at 19 and still live in the flesh, you will NOT be taken as His Bride in the Rapture. Read the "church at Philadelphia" in Revelation. All the other churches have something for Jesus to gripe about but them. It says in Rev 3:10 that they will escape the trial coming on the whole earth. Salvation and the Rapture are two separate things. The other churches that don't change their problem areas, will be left behind when the Bride leaves. There will be gnashing of teeth. Some try to say they are "lost people" gnashing their teeth, but the Bible says they are servants. You might be still saved, but you will have to physically die to go to the Lord. These are the people under the altar crying out for vengeance (Rev 6:9-10). These are the Christians that were not doing what they were supposed to do. If you are slaughtered by the Beast, for Christ, you will have won a white robe of righteousness. If you take the "Mark" thinking God will "give you grace", you are mistaken.
This one of the stories in The Song of Songs. The woman speaks all these words of love, but when Jesus comes and knocks for her to "come out", she tells Him to go away and come later. Then she looks for Him "in the broad way ( as opposed to the narrow way). She goes out on the streets and watchmen (SOS 5:7) catch her and "wound her". We would think she is killed, but her salvation saves her, but her veil is taken. She won't be able to marry the High Priest forever without her veil. Notice the love language all through the verses. This is NOT a lost woman, she just wasn't doing what Jesus wanted her to do. Jesus will marry those that love Him. If you love Him, you will follow his commands. Being saved is a matter of faith. The last part of the story is her doing what Jesus wants her to do. Early in the story she stated "He is mine, and I am His". Towards the end she says "I am His". At first she thought Jesus was there to pull out of her pocket when she needed Him. Later she just gave herself to Him and lost her arrogance. Even though she wasn't doing what Jesus wants all the time, His love language always was kind. She was the one that had to change.
