[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Mat 10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

Mat 10:15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

So, if annihilation is given to the unsaved why not “eat drink and be merry”, be evil and swift annihilation awaits you. No punishment! just a swift soul death!

I don't think you really read the whole post. It (and I) doesn't say that there is "no punishment". There is punishment in Hell, but as you read in Revelations, Hell is emptied, People are tried, and then destroyed in the Lake of Fire. I imagine that being incinerated is punishment also, it just doesn't go on and on and on forever, like many have been lead to believe.

Good question. And it stands valid in my book. One does not follow Christ because he is afraid of what will happen if he doesn’t. That is the way of Muslims who follow Mohamed.

One follows Christ out of love, acknowledgement and appreciation for what Christ did, what he offers, and a desire to be with Him in eternity.

If one rejects the gift of eternal life, then, well, he will not eternally live. He will die. It is the second death.
