Eternal Torment

By M. A. H.

JOHN 3:16: “Whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Does “perish” mean, to live in torment?

According to what God says in this verse, we can not receive any other wage for sin than death. Rom. 6:23. And “death” does not mean life, temporal or eternal.

If “death” means life, then “life” means death. What, then, is the difference between the rewards of the just and those of the unjust, when God promises life to one and death to the other?

Surely God means what He says, and will give life eternal to the righteous, and death eternal to the wicked. Jude 6, 7.
