    That bible portion is self explanatory. The word "destruction" means to destroy, to remove, to cut off, to annihilate, to exterminate, to obiliterate. So when the bible therein, said that the wicked shall under go eternal destruction, it simply mean the wicked shall be destroyed entirely. For instance, let us assume, that you have some of your cloths that are no longer useful to you, when you put them into fire, will the cloths remain the same? NO. The cloths will burn to ashes. Let us also cite the example of noah's day. When the bad people where destroyed, did the bible record that they went to hell fire? No. They were destroyed entirely. So this bible portion suggests total destruction, which means that the wicked wont receive any punishment in any place of torment, rather they will be destroyed. Psalms 37 verses 9, 10, 20, 34, 38.) JEREMIAH 25 verses 31 to 33,) 2PETER 2 Verse 9, ) and PROVERB 2 Verses 21 and 22, Will help Us to understand the meaning of that 2thessalonia 1 verse 6. And also help us to understand that, there is nothing like hell fire. Hell means grave, and not a place meant for bad ppl only, both bad and good people go to bible hell. Example, Jesus . Acts 2 verse 31. And also the thief that died on the tree with Jesus. Luke 23 verse 43. He will be resurrected from the hell or grave. Acts 24 verse 15. Bible said therein, the unjust will be resurrected, which means that thief is among the unjust that will be resurrected in the last day.

  • Steve on 2 Thessalonians 1 - 10 years ago
    Brian, apparently you have developed a God of your own image. If you firmly believed the Bible is the word of God then you would not be saying what you're saying. If what you're saying is true then God is a liar. God is not a liar. You are wanting to make yourself feel better by comforting yourself with a lie. Dont do this.
  • Alan on 2 Thessalonians 1 - 10 years ago
    To Brian...dear brother...will not the God of the whole earth do right? God's very nature is one of love and mercy and He will take every single thing into account...there is nothing that is hidden from His view...His thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways....God is way outside the realm of thinking of mortal man. Having said that, all scripture is profitable for doctrine, correction and instruction in righteousness and is God breathed. He gave every single word to the penmen. Your concerns should be given over to Jesus....trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not to your own understanding.

    Paul recognizes the prophetic coming of our savior to set all thing strait. We that are persecuted will be justified and we'll truly know our delight in God's goodness.

    It is because of the Covenant. See also Zach2:8 Hallelujah!!
  • Roberta on 2 Thessalonians 1 - 10 years ago
    Verse 6: It seems we should be careful who we trouble. God will recompense. Never noticed this verse before. Am I understanding this right?
  • Mas on 2 Thessalonians 1 - 11 years ago
    @Brian,
    2 Thessalonians 1:8-9 is for those who willfully refuse to accept the truth, and obey God. It is not for those who actually have not been preached to, as Romans 10:13-21.
    One has to be taught and refuse to obey, just like those mentioned Romans 10:21.
    God is just, and He has prepared a resurrection for the just and another resurrection for the unjust. But the dead in Christ come ahead of both resurrections, Acts 24:15; 1 Thessalonians 4:16.
    And there will be a time, when those who have not heard the gospel during their lifetime will be taught, and given choice to make for themselves, sometime during the apocalypse.
    So let�s trust God�s love and mercy shall also prevail with her.
    God bless you.

    I am a Christian and a firm believer that the words in the Bible are from God. However, I have a concern regarding 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9.This is one passage in the Bible that is a contradiction to a loving God. My daughter at the age of 28, had a stroke and died. She was a loving person and a wonderful mother. She was not exposed to the Bible during her life, and although she loved nature including animal and insects, I doubt if she gave it a thought as to how they come about; God may not have been in her consciousness. I find it hard to believe that God would punish not just her, but millions of others who have not been exposed to God and/or His Son. And if someone was to reply to this comment with, "Well, she and everyone else should have given some thought as to how we come to be on this planet", I would reply in return with "But you need something to trigger that thought." Who knows, if my daughter's life had not have been cut short and had lived to an old age, she may have accepted Jesus as her Saviour. I cannot imagine God taking a "that's just too bad" attitude. That is not the God I have come to love. Feel free to reply. With love...Brian

    In flaming fire will those who donot know God and those who do not obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.. Means not knowing that He is ONE, never a 3 person, not god the son not god the holy spirit. Not obeying the Gospel which is written in 1 corinthians 15:1-4. not accepting to be baptize in Jesus name and being ashame of the Gospel.
  • Farma on 2 Thessalonians 1 - 12 years ago
    In order to reign with christ we must suffer for the gospel sake. but knowing that our trials and tribulations come to make us strong. We must stay in courage as God strenghtens our heart. He that endureth to the end will be saved.for we mus fret not ourseves of evil doers for they shall be cut off and withered away. And know that we have over come the world.for vengece is mine thus said the Lord and I will repay.Wihout faith it is impossible to please God. faith without works is dead and works without faith is dead.But to all God be the glory honor and dominion and power forever.For God works in us and through us to accomplish his perfect will. not our will but His will be done with love, commitment, dedication, and denying ourselvesand taking up our cross and follow him.

    CONT*N... THROUGH MARY WHO HAST FOUND FAVOR WITH GOD BROUGHT FORTH A SON THE SON OF THE HIGHEST AND CALL HIS NAME JESUS. AND WHAT IS GIVEN BIRTH IS THE BABY DEVELOPED THROUGH MARY TO ENDWELL THE HOLY GHOST OF THE FATHER WHICH WAS GIVEN A NAME ABOVE EVERY NAME WHICH IS JESUS TO ADDRESS THE KING OF KINGS THE LORD OF LORDS THE SAVIOR AND MIGHTY GOD THE EVERLASTING FATHER. ETERNAL DAMNATION IS THE COMPENSATION IN THE SECOND LIFE TO THOSE WHO KNOW NOT GOD.

    2 THESSALONIANS 1:8 IS THE MOST JUDGMENTAL WORD OF GOD WHERE GOD HIMSELF WILL WAGE VENGEANCE ON US IF UNTIL NOW IS STILL IN DARKNESS WHO KNOW NOT WHO REALLY IS DESPITE OF THE ADVOCACY OF GOD WHO CAME DOWN INTO THIS WORLD TO PREACH THE GOSPEL WHICH IS THE POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION. NO ONE COULD OFFER SALVATION EXCEPT GOD. AND GOD THAT MANIFESTED IN THE DECLARED HIMSELF AS THE SON OF GOD A SON OF GOD BECAUSE HE BROUGHT HIMSELF INTO THIS WORLD AND THROUGH
