do you think that they will be in conscious torment eternally or cease to exist after being punished on the Day of the Lord ?

I used to think that it was going to be the former, and now am leaning towards the latter

there are scriptures which seem to support both, which is weird, because ultimately only 1 or the other is the truth

I have had an obsession with knowing which it is for a while

I still believe in annihilation.

Although the Spiritism belief also has merit to me, in my more optimistic moods.

to be honest, that passage in Malachi, upon reconsideration, could have just been talking about like a day in the human timeline where he was going to give people victory, like a normal winning of a war, it wasn't necessarily referring to THE Day of the Lord, or the final judgement

so hmm, the thing with God is that there is like the human timeline, and then there is the eternal, and how He sees everything from the eternal perspective

Now I'm thinking that hell is eternal torment again looooooooooool  🤦‍♀️

this is so confusing

The Bible contradicts itself a lot, was written by the hands of more than one mortal man, and has undergone tons of revisions and linguistic interpretation. I wouldn't worry so much about it, especially if you're headed to Heaven anyway. 

Would you accept a life of sin more readily if annihilation rather than eternal torment were the case?
