Shepherd's Chapel, a religious group, teaches annihilationism, the belief that the unsaved cease to exist rather than face eternal punishment in hell. This doctrine, also held by groups like Seventh-day Adventists and Jehovah’s Witnesses, contradicts the traditional biblical understanding of eternal judgment (Matthew 25:46). This article examines the errors in Shepherd's Chapel’s interpretation, focusing on their misuse of key scriptures, and presents a clear, biblically grounded argument for eternal punishment.
Katabole and 3 Earth Ages
Several years ago, I shared YouTube videos and a blog post addressing errors in the teachings of Shepherd's Chapel, particularly those promoted by its founder, Arnold Murray. While my previous content briefly outlined and countered some of their false teachings, such as their views on Hell and the Kenite (serpent seed) doctrine, this article focuses specifically on their doctrine of the Katabole and the Three Earth Ages. This teaching misinterprets key biblical terms and concepts, leading to significant theological errors that require clear refutation.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” – John 3:16 (KJV)

Some interpret this verse as teaching universal atonement, suggesting that salvation is available to all based on human free will. However, a closer look at Scripture reveals a different perspective.
