    Trying To Work This Out - Outer Darkness

    We have to understand that there are several different Greek words for hell. Gehenna, hades, and tartaroō (tartarus). Each of them has its own unique meaning. I believe that is one possibility that the worms and fire may not die. It is also possible that it is merely using language that the...

    The song of Mary- an unorthodox perspective

    Yes, I agree. Jesus indeed had brothers and sisters.

    The song of Mary- an unorthodox perspective

    Biblical Hebrew went extinct. There was a time in history before Israel came back as a nation when Biblical Hebrew was no longer being used as a language any more. Try Googling it sometime. Also, try Googling the differences between Modern Hebrew and Biblical Hebrew; you will find many...

    Trying To Work This Out - Outer Darkness

    Uh, that's not what I was saying. I am not saying that "outer darkness" is the grave. That doesn't even make any sense. Outer darkness sounds like a place and not a symbol of the grave. The context says that there is weeping and gnashing of teeth when the "outer darkness" is mentioned (See...

    Trying To Work This Out - Outer Darkness

    It is more of an indirect conclusion based off a series of other verses. Take for example how there will be no more night on the New Earth. Revelation 22:5 says, “And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they...

    Trying To Work This Out - Outer Darkness

    Outer darkness is a place where unfaithful or unprofitable Christians go. Wicked unbelievers go to a place called "Torments" (hell), which is described in the real-life story of Lazarus and the Richman. Both the "outer darkness" and "hell" are temporary holding places before the Judgment...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    Again, the problem I see is soaking up what others believe is false and not being a good Berean. I say this because a good Berean will at least see that some verses APPEAR to teach Conditional Immortality (even if they disagree). For example, I can see how some verses APPEAR to teach OSAS at...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    Unless you agree with Catholicism, it does not compute that Catholics gave us the canon. I know Catholics claim that this is so, but that is their claim, and they do make up lots of things that are not true. I know some Protestants who agree with the canon coming from a particular Catholic...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    So your learning from scholarship has no part in your belief in ECT? In other words, is it not your scholarly approach that helps you to understand ECT? I can say the same for you, but we both cannot be right. According to ECT, "everlasting destruction" is twisted to be metaphorical, not...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    Did you hit your head and forget why you quoted these men’s names? Was it not to convince me of ECT? There are only about 5 major verses in Scripture that appear at first glance to teach Eternal Torment. Out of these five, three of them can be read with the word conveying the concept of...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    @Johann If I disagree with a Christian I quote, I at least will provide a disclaimer saying I do not agree with everything they teach. But I most certainly would not refer the name of crackpots in the Charismatic movement. I most certainly would not refer a person to non-Christians (unless...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    My edit of my posts had nothing to do with covering my tracks in what you said. It was to fix grammar errors and to update what I wanted to say more clearly. You quoted their names as an authority on this topic. However, they should not be looked up to or even quoted as helpful source on any...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    You quoted their names as a source of authority on this discussion. That’s even worse. You gave them endorsement by mentioning their names to resolve this discussion.

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    You quoted their names as an authority on this topic we are discussing in this thread. Yet, the majority of the men you quoted are into rank heresy.

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    Your not getting what I am saying. My bringing up OSAS was not something they believed. I was bringing up OSAS to say that what the men you quoted hold to beliefs that are even worse than OSAS. Again, go back to post #306 and start checking out the videos and links I provided to you on these...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    Check out the videos and the aricles and what I wrote about these men you quote. For example: I am strongly against OSAS, but I would not exactly say it is rank heresy in every case because a believer could push for holy living as the requirement for OSAS to be true. Granted, even with those...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    I generally try to steer clear of those who are into rank heresy. But you are free to listen to whomever you like. Just know that you will reap what you sow. You put junk in, and junk will come out. In other words, you are what you eat.

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    It sounds like you desire to belittle my intelligence by making such a silly statement. You might as well start to question whether I know the difference between a cat and a dog. So let's stop with the ad hominems. I said: Your reply: I am not sure you have grasped what I said. You appear...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    No. KJV Onlyists believe you cannot study or benefit from Modern Translations, and many KJV Onlystis believe that just studying them can lead one to be corrupted somehow. I am Core KJB. I believe the King James Bible is the perfect Word of God that is without error (and it is my core...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    You need to research people better to see if they are true to God or not. Dr. Michael Brown: https://churchwatchcentral.com/2020/02/21/is-dr-michael-brown-an-apologist-for-the-devil-2/ (Read the comments section, too). Brown shacks up with false heretics: Brown predicted that a second...
