Does torment for ever and ever contradict ashes under our feet? No: 921 - Worldwide Church of God - 1960

Worldwide Church of God

Does the scripture "and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever" contradict the passage that reads "and the wicked shall be ashes under the soles of our feet?" The Bible does NOT contradict itself! (John 10:35). Malachi 4:3 proves that the wicked will DIE - they will be burned up so that only ASHES remain! The soul is not immortal and there will be no eternal tormenting for the wicked! The soul is MORTAL and subject to death! But - what is the meaning of Revelation 14:1: "And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever...." There is no contradiction here! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
