Our Redeemer Lutheran Church
Rev. Weber is correct in saying that the LCMS teaches that there is an eternal hell. Where he has erred is in saying that an eternal hell is unscriptural. In Revelation 20:10 it is written, "and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulphur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever." And also Revelation 20:14-15, "The Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone's name is not found in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire." Clearly from verse 10 the lake of fire or hell is an eternal place. Also, reason says that Holy Spirit as God can do what he wishes but the LCMS teaches that God has revealed His will in the scriptures. So even though He can, He will not contradict His revealed will. This is good news since all of the Gospel promises are given in scriptures. Being baptized into Christ, we receive the forgiveness of sins and the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38-39) we receive the name of God and are written in the book of life, (Matthew 28:19-20) and we are crucified, buried and raised with Christ! (Romans 6) It would not be good news if the Holy Spirit decided to change His mind about this. Teaching that there is an everlasting hell is teaching the whole counsel of God.— November 2, 2011 1:36 p.m.
