    The answer of hell and its origins

    Good response. Except Jesus said Heaven and earth will pass away. That doesn’t fit with your theology so you are trying to make it mean something else. It’s very clear, heaven and earth will pass away. Peter confirms it in 2 Peter 3:10-12. John confirmed it in Revelation 21:1. You have to jump...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    @Aunty Jane said “What??? You don't understand hyperbole? He is contrasting the impossible fact that heaven and earth could pass away with the fact that his words are equally impossible to pass away....”. First, there is no such thing as an impossible fact. You are denying what the scripture...

    2 Peter 3:12 - Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers (12) Hasting unto.--There is no "unto" in the Greek. The margin is probably right, hasting the coming--i.e., hastening Christ's coming by holy lives, by helping to make the Gospel known to all nations (Matthew 24:14), so as to...

    Passed away—- tn For the translation of ἀπέρχομαι (aperchomai; here ἀπῆλθαν [apēlthan]) L&N 13.93 has “to go out of existence—‘to cease to exist, to pass away, to cease.’”

    New International Version Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. New Living Translation Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    Even if I accept your explanation of what it says about the earth, there is still the matter of what it says about Heaven and John’s description of the new heaven and the new earth. You are being willfully ignorant in order to make the Bible say what you want it to say. But people can read the...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    Yeah. They all say the same thing. 2 Peter 3:10 - Bible Gateway. Your Chewbacca defense won’t change what it says. The new heaven and new earth are also mentioned in Isaiah 65:17, Isaiah 66:22, and 2 Peter 3:13.

    The answer of hell and its origins

    2 Peter 3:10 has been badly translated there. The Mounce Interlinear render that verse... "But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, the elements · will melt in the intense heat, and the earth and the works in it will be exposed."...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    I worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The God of the Bible. His Son is my Lord and Savior. You keep trying to lump me in with others. For you there are JWs then there is everyone else. It doesn’t work that way.

    The answer of hell and its origins

    It’s not up to you to tell me what to post. I don’t know who is spoon feeding me because I have to work on Sundays and can’t attend Church. Everything I know is from personal study, not from The Watchtower. You have regurgitated their teachings so many times you have it memorized. You have...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    You ignore one verse then explain why the Bible doesn’t say what it says. You can always find a way to make it fit your view, it’s literal when you want it to be and figurative when it helps your case. 2 Peter 3:7–12 is describing a literal event in the future. “The heavens will disappear with...

    Reasons Jews Reject Jesus

    So the Jews recognize God as Jesus’ father? Since it’s not Joseph?

    Reasons Jews Reject Jesus
