Eternal Death:

Many who have rejected the doctrine of eternal torment have found refuge in the teaching of “eternal death (Conditionalism/Annihilationism)” — the belief that the wicked will simply cease to exist. It is certainly more merciful than a God who tortures His creatures forever. But is it what the Bible actually teaches?

For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost. If the lost are beyond saving, His mission fails. But God has declared the end from the beginning — and His counsel will stand.

[Editor’s note in 2026: For this book, first, this was originally published as a single-page HTML book. We have analysed the structure and for ease of online readability, have broken it up into defined chapters. Secondly, we have kept Gary’s usage of Erasmian transliteration.

Let the reader consider, there is a growing recognition that Erasmian pronunciation/ transliteration isn’t actually true historic classic Greek. For a further study on this, see our article titled Erasmus Never Used Erasmian Greek for further explanation. Here is a chart of the referred to Greek words in this book according to their transliteration styles.]
