What if the common understanding of hell is a “reality distortion field”? This sermon tackles the doctrine of eternal torment, reframing it through the biblical metaphor of God as a “consuming fire.” Explore how Scripture depicts God’s fiery presence—His very character of love—as an element that purifies the righteous but naturally consumes those who have solidified themselves in selfishness. Drawing on passages from Isaiah, Malachi, and Revelation, this message presents the final destruction of the wicked not as an arbitrary act of torture, but as the “second death”—a complete annihilation resulting from their own choices. This perspective challenges traditional views and defends the character of a loving God against one of theology’s most persistent distortions.
