Let us think what that death is! It is not non-existence; I do not know that I would
lift a finger to save my fellow-creature from mere non-existence. I see no great hurt
in annihilation; certainly nothing that would alarm me as a punishment for sin. WCo133
While you shall not see life, you shall exist in eternal death, for the wrath of God
cannot abide on a non-existent creature. 1012.538
If I believed that sinners could be annihilated I should have no particular reason for
preaching to them; in fact, I should have a very urgent reason for never doing
anything of the kind. 1130.501
There is further cause for comfort in the fact that, through death, Christ destroyed the
devil. Those persons who always interpret the word “destroy” as meaning “annihilate"
would do me a very great favour if they could really prove to me that Jesus
Christ annihilated the devil. 3286.41
