Continued from previous post #20 We could stop here . . . but we won't. There are a couple more concepts that must be addressed in this matter to help round out our understanding of after-life punishment that would be heaped out upon those who rejected Jesus and His apostles (in that day in...

Continued from post #19 Ready for this? The word translated tormented in Strongs, Vines, and Thayers is "basinizo" which comes from the Greek word that literally means "to put to the test by rubbing on the touchstone." Touchstones are pieces of rock or flint that are used to grind off...

Continued from post #18 As an interesting aside, where is the Lake of Fire actually located? There are passages in Revelation 14 that might surprise you where the fire and brimstone exists, or at least who is present amidst them. - Revelation 14:9-11 "And the third angel followed them, saying...

Continued from post #17 If we say they will get out, we face some degree or another picturing universalism. But if we say they will never, ever get out, we are left with the subsequent questions that bear some weight like: "Are those in the Lake of Fire (who from what Jesus says encompassed...

Continued from post #12 The Greek phrase "for perpetuity" could have also been used to describe the Lake of Fire punishment - but is is only used to describe God and ultimate santification. No Greek word that truly is used to describe forever, forevermore, evermore, always, endless, to the...

Thank you for sharing Episkopos. When I get hurt the pain feels very real, and when I make decisions it also feels very real, why do you call us living here in the real world a simulation? Our hope is the eternal aspect of life going to be with God in the spiritual heavenly realm which will one...

Continued from post #11 Additionally, there are two simple prevalent adverbs in the New Testament which would have made the argument decisive regarding punishment being eternal - aei (which means always) and Pantote (which means evermore) but again neither of them are ever used to described...

Continued from post :#9 Why do I say this? Because of the King James translators, instead of ever translating axons and aionious in terms of the English word, "Age" ( a period of time with a beginning and an end) they translate the terms 197 times using all of the following English words. For...

Continued from post #7 -- What is an Age? A period of time. The noun aheeohn (aion) means "age." Period. A specific period of time. It begins and it ends. But when some translators got to the adjective, they honestly translated it to the opposite meaning, "without end, without beginning...

Continued from post number #6 Reading the King James (and probably your NIV's and ESV's) we are presented with English words that tend to say in absolute terms, yes, the Lake of Fire suffering is eternal, everlasting, endless, etc. etc. After all, it is called the second death right? (By the...

Continued from post #4 So what is this Lake of Fire? Revelation describes it in one sentence: "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death." Everyone of us experiences the first death. 1 Corinthians 15:22 says it - "For as in Adam all die," But not everyone...

Continued from post #3 If we turn to Revelation Chapter 20:13 we read that at the time of the Great White Throne judgment: - "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works."...

Continued from post #2. Now, one thing almost all of us do - partially because it is convenient - is to refer to hell as the catchphrase for where everyone has gone (or will go) who has not gone to heaven. In light of scripture, this practice not only adds to the confusion of the topic but is...

The Second Scenario of After-life Punishment From the Gospels to 70AD This scenario is what most Christians today read about in the Bible and believe is the destination for all who have not received Jesus as Lord and Savior now - that there is "eternal suffering" waiting them in endless and...

(This is now completed) - follow the links and you will be able to stay tuned to the typed out information. #57 SUMMARY OF ETERNAL PUNISHMENT Within Christianity, there are several scenarios or perspectives from where "after-life punishment" must be considered. - First, from the Old...

What would you think building one’s life on Jesus Christ means?

No, I didn’t know.

Why wouldn’t it be? Sometimes one needs to call the police in some situations.

He (Yeshua) leads us to the Father (Yahweh). Who he (Yeshua) stated that we should pray to and that we can even ask him to help us by the spirit and he will help us. James says for us not to doubt and we can even ask Yahweh for wisdom and our Father who is Yahweh will provide as long as we don’t...
