Interesting comments on God and his being impotent. I guess the same charge could be levelled at anyone who thinks God let Adam and Eve sin in the garden. He could have stopped hem and prevented all that evil and suffering coming into the world. Why not just prevent all that if he is able to...

I prefer to identify as a Conditionalist, but I would point out there are many biblical text that prima facie support "annihilationism". One can't just dismiss this believe out of hand. I don't think you were being deliberately obtuse but you should know some very prominent Evangelicals defend...

The argument from Stuart does appear to be speculative.

One of the passages I find compelling for evidence of Conditionalism is the parable/interpretation of the wheat and the weeds in Matthew 13.

No, I said "good point" in relation to a comment he made about a related issue regarding the use of language. If you me time I will go and get a screen shot of it.

Right. Provide me a quote on this thread where I specifically equate perish with non-existence and while you are at it go back and read the exact conversation. My comment was regarding just one point Mark made regarding how we regard the language literally That is it. While you are at it go...

I repeat, because I thought he made a salient comment.

Because I thought Mark made a salient comment. That is the truth, I promise.

I was referring to a comment Mark made.

You have my sincerest condolences for your loss. I know it must be tough and I feel for you.

Ok, you have said all that before. I am not just disagreeing with you. I am pointing out a flaw in your mode of argument, which you don't actually address. So repeating the claim again does not prove the point. As for your assertion about "internet preachers", I think that is a form of...

You break your own principle as soon as you state it. When we say "look at the meaning of perish" and similar language you say the following: "Do we just take such words literally as we would naturally understand them, or, do we view the Bible as containing a spiritual message within the...

That is a good point, Mark.

Come on. Be serious. You might as well say being in hell fire for eternity happens because they are wearing fire proof vests. How does your comment contribute to the discussion Mark was having?

I can't tell if you are purely joking or that is a snarky comment (or a bit of both). Either way, I think it disrespects Mark Corbett, who is clearly trying to build bridges via irenic discussion.

Cool. Sounds like it is something you are searching for.

I will jump in here if I may. The case for Evangelical Conditionalism/annihilationism doesn't hang on the idea that "death" involves a ceasing to exists. Sounds strange, I know. It is more accurate to say that just as the death of the body is the ending of life resulting in the inability of...

You are right I am tired. But I was responding to the following, how else is that to be taken other than an argument for the Traditional view of hell? If I have misunderstood you then I apologize. But you can see why I thought you were using this as an argument while claiming you only use...

I am not offended. I am not worried that you don't watch videos. It is purely your choice and I respect that. I was just pointing out that you used the reason of only arguing from Scripture while arguing from a church attendance argument, which isn't an argument from Scripture. That is all...
