    "Hell doesn't last forever"..God is merciful

    kerwin, I'm prejudging by quoting the Scriptures about what happens at death for all unbelievers, not a single pagan exempted: “thrown into the eternal fire” (Matt 18:8 ESV). “will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his...

    "Hell doesn't last forever"..God is merciful

    There is NOTHING ambiguous about what happens to unbelievers after death: “thrown into the eternal fire” (Matt 18:8 ESV). “will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might” (2 Thess. 1:9 ESV). “a punishment of eternal fire”...

    Soul sleep

    I have not raised or denied such a link. That is your false invention about my theology.

    "Hell doesn't last forever"..God is merciful

    Nice red herring that does not deal with the content of what Dr Robertson exegeted about eternal punishment and eternal life in Matt 25:46 (ESV). Regarding κολασιν (kolasin) , yes you did look at it as 'punishment' in #70. Do you forget what you write? Oz

    "Hell doesn't last forever"..God is merciful

    This is a false conclusion again. It is not circular reasoning because the content of the punishment is obtained from the biblical text. You don't want to accept this Scripture: Jude warned of “a punishment of eternal fire” (Jude 1:7 ESV). How long does the punishment last? It is as eternal as...

    "Hell doesn't last forever"..God is merciful

    kerwin, Matthew 25:46 (ESV) reads, ‘And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life’. What does this verse mean? Dr A T Robertson is considered the eminent NT Greek scholar of the 20th century. He analysed the verse and these are his exegetical results...

    This is a false accusation.

    "Hell doesn't last forever"..God is merciful

    kerwin, One would need to be a spiritual gymnast with an agenda to avoid the clarity of the nature of what will happen to unbelievers after death. Jesus’ language is of those who are “thrown into the eternal fire” (Matt 18:8 ESV). Paul’s was of whose who “will suffer the punishment of eternal...

    Keep His Commandments.

    I'm confused about nothing. The OP is not the 10 commandments but 'Keep his commandments'. Are you wanting to still keep this one? 'If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbour, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death' (Lev 20:10 ESV). Oz

    "Hell doesn't last forever"..God is merciful

    Vine's is not a highly recommended expository dictionary. Try that by Kittel and Friedrich (eds), Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, 10 vols and Colin Brown (ed), The New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology, 3 vols. Does hell last forever? Oz

    "Hell doesn't last forever"..God is merciful

    Thank you for admitting you did not use a Greek lexicon but a concordance. The one 'Biblehub uses' is not what I asked for. You are demonstrating you don't know what an ad hominem fallacy is. Take a read here: Ad hominem fallacy. Let's get back to the topic. Does hell last forever? What's the...

    "Hell doesn't last forever"..God is merciful

    You did not refer to one Greek lexicon. Not one. You referred to Biblehub, which is not a Greek lexicon. Try Arndt & Gingrich or Thayer. The problem, kerwin, is that you don't know what a Greek lexicon is, so you quote from Biblehub, thinking it is a lexicon because it gives a few words in...

    Thank you for confirming that you cannot read Greek in the lexicons or word studies.

    Now tell us what the Greek lexicons and Greek word studies say is the meaning of aiwnios.

    "Hell doesn't last forever"..God is merciful

    Don't you know what eternal life is and where Jesus spoke about it. John 3:16 (ESV) is a reasonable starter for the meaning of eternal life. Why are you ducking and weaving on this? I see in your Personal Statement of Faith that you make the statement: 'I believe that the Human being Jesus...

    When did the universal Church first mentioned in 110AD stop being universal?

    I'm not doing another merry-go-round on transubstantiation. I've already provided my exegesis and exposition on this forum and it disagrees with your RCC perspective. We'll be wasting each other's time by doing it again. Bye, Oz

    When did the universal Church first mentioned in 110AD stop being universal?

    Can you quote the part of Scripture around John 10:9 (ESV) where Jesus said, 'I have used a figure of speech - a metaphor - and you need to interpret it as such? Scripture assumes we are bright enough to know the difference between a figure of speech and literal understanding in our...

    When did the universal Church first mentioned in 110AD stop being universal?

    No, Mungo, You deliberately left out the key phrase, 'for the forgiveness of sins' as that is the meaning of Jesus bread/body and wine/blood. It has nothing to do with bread becoming Jesus' literal body and the wine becoming Jesus' literal blood. It has everything to do with teaching that this...
