Bible Reference Notes: “Hell and the Eternal Soul.”

Your Bible reference notes for today are on the topic of Hell and the eternal nature of the human soul. I composed this in 2006 during my four-week debate with Jehovah’s Witnesses as they argued that Hell is fictional and that the sinner’s soul simply ceases to exist after death.

Additionally, in light of the fact that more and more “theologians” are denying Hell’s existence, I figured this would be an important resource to pass on.

If you’re unsure of what Reformation Nation’s Bible Reference Notes are all about and how to use them, see my first installment for an explanation.

Bible Reference Notes: “The Holy Scriptures”

I’ve decided to begin a new series of posts on Reformation Nation called Bible Reference Notes. The idea of this project is to publish a post containing a list of numerous Bible verses on a selected subject–broken down into subcategories–all designed for the sole purpose of quick reference.

Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Simply select and copy the below Bible Reference Notes.

Step 2: Paste the text onto whatever word document you use.

Step 3: Make sure everything lines up correctly (or how you would like it) on your word document since transfers from one format to another sometimes requires adjustments of the text layout.

Step 4: Print the text on your printer.

Step 5: Cut to size and adhere to the inside cover of your Bible. Keep in mind that Bibles come in all different sizes and shapes, and so you may want to increase or decrease the size of the font depending on how much room you have. The current font size setting is 7.

Now with this inside your Bible cover, you can use it as a quick reference when dealing with that particular topic. I will make more Bible Reference Notes available to you as I put them together.

The first post in this series will be on the topic of Scripture itself. More often than not, Scripture’s inerrancy, clarity, perspicuity, origin, and purpose are called into question (many times by those who profess to be Christians). So today’s Bible Reference Notes are a great resource to have when dealing with the topic of the Bible’s inspiration, endurance, what it is, what it does, etc.

If this is helpful to you or you find any errors, please leave me a comment.

May this bless you and strengthen you in your Pilgrimage, and remember, Never Compromise!
