Hell As Two Destinations
- Adriel Sanchez explains hell as two post-death destinations: eternal joy with God or privation and affliction under God's wrath.
- He links New Testament terms like Gehenna to the Valley of Hinnom's history and imagery to clarify biblical language.
Hell Is Eternal, Not Extinction
- Sanchez rejects playful depictions and affirms hell as conscious, unending torment rather than annihilation or temporary purgation.
- He cites Daniel 12:2 and Revelation language to show hell's duration parallels heaven's everlastingness.
Judgment Fits Knowledge And Deeds
- Judgment varies by knowledge and deeds: people receive punishment proportionate to their sins and stewardship of revelation.
- Sanchez uses Matthew 11 and Luke 12 to argue some will face greater judgment than others.
