Curious if any denominations teach the following about life after death:
Since Jesus said that eternal life can only come through Him, and that the path to life is narrow, and only a few find it, that means most people won't have eternal life. But a loving God wouldn't send the majority of people to roast forever in a fiery Hell. So instead of the traditional concept of "Hell," the people who don't find eternal life through Christ just cease to exist. When they die, they just die, like plants or animals, and they no longer exist. Or, maybe they have a soul, but their soul is destroyed. It may even be destroyed in a lake of fire or whatever, but the point is, the soul doesn't consciously burn forever, it's simply annihilated. So instead of Heaven and Hell as the two destinations after death, the two destinations are living forever with God, or ceasing to exist.
