Soul Mortality Doctrinal Cluedo

The original lie of Satan was “You shall not surely die” (Gen 3:4).

The lie has been believed by billions of people and the myth remains alive and well today.

Immortality of the soul gained popularity in Christianity thanks to the popularity of Greek dualism. The traditional view of eternal torment remains the dominant view throughout Christianity, leading many to discard belief in a ‘tyrannical’ God.

Yet there is an awakening among thought-leaders to rediscover the truth of annihilationism, including none less than world renowned theologian John Stott.

Here is a starting guide that I put together for anyone wanting to go back to the relevant Bible passages and assess the evidence. Feel free to add to or change this. Leave your feedback.

I’m not afraid of learning more about God’s character of love, so don’t hesitate to challenge my framework. A deeper understanding of this truth reveals an amazing and perfectly good God.
