Annihilationism simply will not wash. Christ says that the lost will go into “eternal fire,” which has been prepared for the devil and his angels. And then He adds, “And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life” (Matthew 25:46). Since the same word eternal describes both the destiny of the righteous and the wicked, it seems clear that Christ taught that both groups will exist forever, albeit in different places. The same eternal fire that Satan and his hosts experience will be the lot of unbelievers... The wicked will experience shame and contempt for as long as the righteous experience bliss.

2 Thessalonians 2

[1]

[3]

2:1 ¶ Na, he mea tenei na matou ki a koutou, e oku teina, mo te taenga mai o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, mo to tatou huihuinga atu ano ki a ia;

2:2 Kei hohoro te rurea o o koutou hinengaro, kei ohorere ranei i ta te wairua, i ta te kupu, i ta te pukapuka ranei e kiia ana na matou, e mea ana kua tae tonu mai inaianei te ra o te Ariki.

2:3 ¶ Kei tinihangatia koutou i tetahi mea e te tangata: e kore hoki e tae wawe mai, kia matua tae mai te takanga atu, kia whakakitea mai ano hoki te tangata o te hara, te tama a te whakangaro:

2:4 He hoariri nei ia, e whakakake ana i a ia ki runga ake i nga mea katoa e kiia ana he Atua, e karakiatia ana; kia noho ai ia i te whare tapu o te Atua, kia whakaatu ai i a ia ko ia te Atua.

2:5 Kahore ranei koutou e mahara i ahau ano i a koutou, i korerotia e ahau enei mea ki a koutou?

2:6 Na ka matau koutou inaianei ki te mea e arai ana, kia whakakitea mai ra ano ia a tona taima.

2:7 No te mea kei te mahi inaianei te mea huna o te kino, otira tera tetahi kei te arai inaianei, kia whakawateatia rawatia ano ia.

2:8 Ko reira whakakitea mai ai taua tangata kino, e whakangaromia e te Ariki ki te ha o tona mangai, e whakakahoretia ki te putanga nui o tona taenga mai;

2:9 Ara a ia pu, i rite nei tona taenga mai ki te mahinga a Hatana, i runga i te mana, i nga tohu, i nga merekara teka,

2:10 I nga mahi tinihanga katoa hoki o te he, i roto i te hunga e whakangaromia ana; no te mea kihai i riro i a ratou te aroha o te pono, kia ora ai ratou.

2:11 Mo konei hoki ka tukua atu e te Atua ki a ratou he pohehe e mahi ana, kia whakapono ai ratou ki te teka:

2:12 Kia tukua ai ki te he te hunga katoa kahore i whakapono ki te pono, i ahuareka ke ki te he.

2:13 ¶ Tika tonu ia kia whakawhetai atu matou ki te Atua mo koutou i nga wa katoa, e oku teina e arohaina nei e te Ariki, he mea whiriwhiri na hoki koutou na te Atua no te timatanga ra ano mo te ora, i runga i te whakatapu a te Wairua, i runga ano i te whakapono ki te pono;

2:14 Ko te mea tena i karangatia ai koutou e ia, he mea na to matou rongopai, ara kia whiwhi ki te kororia o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti.

2:15 Heoi, e oku teina, e tu koutou: kia mau ki nga whakarerenga iho i whakaakona ai koutou e te kupu, e ta matou pukapuka ranei.

2:16 ¶ Na, ma to tatou Ariki, ma Ihu Karaiti pu ano, ma te Atua, ma to tatou Matua, i aroha mai nei ki a tatou, i homai nei i te whakamarie mutungakore, me te mea pai e tumanakohia atu nei, he meatanga na te aroha noa,

2:17 Mana e whakamarie o koutou ngakau, mana koutou e whakau ki runga ki nga kupu, ki nga mahi pai katoa.
