He has done a work for the Seventh Day Adventists denying the biblical concept of the eternal punishment of the wicked. He was a leader in the Grace-Unity movement among churches of Christ Don McClain 6 W. 65th St church of Christ / November 11, 2007

“The wicked, following whatever degree and duration of pain that God may justly inflict, will finally and truly die, perish and become extinct for ever and ever” (Fudge, 1982, p. 425). Don McClain 7 W. 65th St church of Christ / November 11, 2007

“Jesus spoke of eternal punishment but He never hinted of continual torture of souls that live on and on in some state of anguish and torment.” (Goad’s articles occasionally appear in Liberal Christian Journals). “Jesus spoke of eternal punishment but He never hinted of continual torture of souls that live on and on in some state of anguish and torment.” (Goad’s articles occasionally appear in Liberal Christian Journals). Don McClain 8 W. 65th St church of Christ / November 11, 2007

Don McClain “God will destroy (the soul). Not punish it. Not dangle with it. Not torture it.” (“A Christian Response to the New Age Movement,” Tape 3). [F. LaGard Smith has also published a book entitled “The After Life” in which he has denied the eternal conscious punishment of the wicked soul]. 9 W. 65th St church of Christ / November 11, 2007

 John Clayton is a popular speaker among institutional churches.  Gave Fudge’s book an enthusiastic recommendation while himself confessing: “ I have never been able to be comfortable with the position that a person who rejected God should suffer forever and ever ” (The Spiritual Sword, April 1997, p. 35). Don McClain 10 W. 65th St church of Christ / November 11, 2007

Don McClain 11 W. 65th St church of Christ / November 11, 2007

This verse [Rev. 20:10] is often quoted to prove the eternal existence, suffering, and torment of wicked humanity. It should be mentioned of whom John spoke: Satan, the beast, and the false prophet. Wicked humans are not mentioned here, but are dealt with in the verses which follow, 20: The beast and false prophet were cast alive into the lake, as was the devil. It was these three who would be tormented day and night for ever ( Homer Hailey, God’s Judgments and Punishments, p. 177 ). Don McClain 12 W. 65th St church of Christ / November 11, 2007

The first death pertained to the physical life and death; the second pertained to end of each. Death and Hades and the wicked, those whose names were not written in the book of life, existence came to an end in the lake of fire (Ibid., p. 178). Don McClain 13 W. 65th St church of Christ / November 11, 2007

Sodom and Gomorrah left the spiritual or moral realm in which God intended man should live, for a lifestyle of lust. God rained brimstone and fire upon them, totally destroying the cities. The destruction was so complete that their location is uncertain, not a vestige of either city has yet been confirmed. Jude says, These “are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire” (v. 7)…If they serve as an example, what do they teach except that those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire are to exist no more? (Ibid., pp ). Don McClain 14 W. 65th St church of Christ / November 11, 2007

 In order to be a faithful steward of the Gospel as an evangelist, one must preach “all the counsel of God” (Acts 20:27).  “All the counsel of God” includes Bible teaching about Hell.  In order to be a faithful steward of the Gospel as an evangelist, one must preach Bible teaching about Hell.

Three different Greek words for the term hell in the KJV:  Hades –(11) The unseen realm – realm of disembodied spirits - Ac 2:27, 31; Rev 20:13  Tartarus – (1) chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; 2Pe 2:4  Gehenna - (12) Mt 10:28; Mk 9:43,45,47 Don McClain 16 W. 65th St church of Christ / November 11, 2007
