Please don't change what I wrote when you quote me. I did not write "God's destruction", I wrote "your destruction". God cannot be destroyed because he is immortal. Jesus was a spirit, and he died. Revelation 1:18 (WEB): (18) and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever...

I also earlier pointed out that the lake of fire and sulphur is symbolic of utter detruction. Nothing exists after it has been symbolically thrown into it. What would be the point of Satan and demons/fallen angels being thrown into a literal lake of fire? They are spirit beings so fire has no...

Where in the Bible does it mention people/angels being forever separated from God? Where do you get that idea from? It is not possible for you to be separated from God, except by your destruction. Psalms 139:1-12 (WEB): (1) For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Yahweh, you have searched...

Paul said, Hebrews 13:2 (WEB): (2) Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it.

They are not physical beings, so obviously they can't have a physical death, but they can die. As Paul says of God in 1 Timothy 6:16 (WEB), "who alone has immortality". God is immortal, but the other spirit beings are not. The possibility of anyone other than God gaining immortality was only...

No. I speak and understand English (I am English). Your abbreviations, acronyms, or whatever, are not part of the English language, and so I don't understand it. Yes, that sounds silly. The sound made from something moving does not imply that whatever is moving must be alive. You don't need...

In Genesis 3:24 it says God "placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life". People assume that means it was to prevent Adam and Eve (and all their offspring) from accessing the tree of life, but it could mean...

What does "ty" mean? Your posts are almost unintelligible. In post #397 you wrote: That certainly seems like you said the devil was dead.

That will be too late for you, because if you think the devil is dead then you won't be taking notice of Peter's admonition -1 Peter 5:8-9 (WEB): (8) Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. (9)...

Why don't you write in English instead of acronyms, abbreviations and slang. You're not communicating very clearly. ("iow" should be "in other words" (?), "orig" should be "original", "prolly" is not a proper English word - it should be "probably", "i" should be "I", etc.). You should not...

I don't know. Why don't you ask one. Why is everyone here assuming that everyone else who has a different understanding of Scripture to them must be a JW? I'm not a JW either!

Matthew 10:28 (WEB): (28) Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. The Greek word that is here translated as "destroy" is apollumi, which Strong's Concordance says means "to destroy...

I don't think the "forever" was ever under discussion. We were discussing what it is that is forever - death for eternity, or torture for eternity. What does "wadr" mean? :confused: Where in the Bible does it say that the devil/Satan is not alive? It says (in Revelation 20) that he will be...

I second that.

Who was that in response to? It's not a very helpful comment! If you think that you know what that verse means then why don't you share that knowledge with us? Saying that 'I know what you don't know, but I'm not going to help you find out what that is', is not a loving Christian attitude...

No! You were not paying attention! I said, "I'll include an article about this parable that I downloaded from the Internet about 22 years ago (but it doesn't appear to be available anymore)". If I had written it then I would not have needed to download it from the Internet, and the comment...

It is not a smokescreen, it is a serious study with many Bible references to support it's statements and arguments. It sounds as though you couldn't be bothered to read it. If you think it is not a parable simply because it is referring to literal Biblical people, then where else in the Bible...

[Continuing Rich Man and Lazarus article.] The Chasm Then Abraham informs the Rich Man that there is a great chasm (canyon, gulf) between the Rich Man and himself. This chasm represents the difference between faith in Jesus and the seeking of righteousness through the Law. The Rich Man...

[Continuing Rich Man and Lazarus article.] The message and blessings and opportunities could not go to the Gentiles until first they had been offered to the Jewish table (occupied by the Rich Man) and had been rejected by all except a remnant the Jewish Lazarus class who would seek...

John 3:16 is part of a private conversation with one man, Nicodemus, who came to see Jesus at night so that nobody would notice (John 3:2). Nicodemus was a member of the Sanhedrin, so his coming by night is to avoid the hostility of his colleagues: the Sanhedrin was opposed to Jesus. So Jesus...
