Conditionalist perspective

The Conditionalist perspective is a view about what happens after death, especially regarding punishment and reward. It teaches that the soul's existence is linked to the body and that “hell” or eternal torment isn’t literal. Instead, the Bible suggests that "hell" refers to a state of temporary punishment or destruction for those who reject God, which can be reversed through repentance and salvation. This view emphasizes that divine punishment is corrective and temporary, aiming to restore individuals, rather than eternal conscious suffering. Ultimately, it sees salvation and judgment as conditional upon one’s choices and faith.
