Q How do Adventists view the afterlife and hell?
A Adventists reject the traditional idea of an immediately separate soul going to heaven or hell at death. Instead, they believe in "soul sleep". When a person dies, they remain completely unconscious in the grave until Christ's return. Furthermore, they believe in annihilationism rather than eternal torment. They teach that the wicked will be completely consumed and destroyed by fire at the final judgment, ceasing to exist forever, which they view as a reflection of a loving God.
