It is more to do with Textual studies

Many thanks

OK, I see your point. Can this be moved? thanks

The text is from the "Orthodox" Church

what reading are you referring to in Hebrews 2?

The earliest Book of the New Testament is Galatians, which is from around 49 A.D., and like ALL the Books in the New Testament, were originally written in Greek, not Syriac, or Hebrew, or Latin. The earliest Syriac translation was the work done by the Assyrian Christian, Tatian, who complied the...

Syriac and Hebrew are two very distinct languages. A Gospel of a Matthew is said to have been written in the Hebrew language. At no time was the Hebrew language ever know as or called "Syriac", this is nothing more than conjecture. The earliest date for the Syriac Peshitta, is the 5th century...

I have been studying the text of the New Testament for over 25 years, and I have never heard of this. This date cannot be right, as the Gospel of John was not written till around 85 A.D., even though some modern scholars suggest an earlier date, this would be conjecture at this time.

"in", what?

I doubt that anyone would consider Paul's words here as meaning "eternally", but would be a reference to his earthly life. The use of "αἰώνιος" at the time the New Testament Books were written, has its "limited" duration, as can be seen when used by the Jewish historian Josephus, in his...

The Books of the New Testament were originally written in the Greek language. Therefore its witness is by far the greater and more reliable than all others. The earliest date for the Syriac Peshitta, is the 5th century, when it was translated from the Greek by Rabbula, Bishop of Edessa. As it is...

Yes, God can, but the fact is that He has not said anywhere in the Holy Bible, which is our only Authority (being the 66 Books), that He would ever destroy the soul of any human.

Matthew 3:12 reads, "whose winnowing-fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire" The words "He will burn up" are from one Greek word, "κατακαίω", which is used for the...

Any Bible references showing the "Annihilation" of the soul after death? Appealing to the English words like "destroy" and "perish" are non-starters as they do not mean "cease to exist" in either the Hebrew or Greek?

"For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.”I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation" (2 Corinthians 6:2) "Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience...

1 Corinthians 9:22, "To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some"

Jesus Christ as God Incarnate used the concept of Gehenna as found in the Old Testament, where a fire burnt continually, to show the future state of the lost. In Matthew 18:8 Jesus speaks of "eternal fire", the Greek being far stronger, "the fire, the eternal", which shows that this is to be...

What about people like the ex-pastor from the UK, Roy Clements who is a Reformed Evangelical, who in 1999 announced to his wife and children and his Church, that he had become a homosexual. Read his recent "testimony" here. Why I am still an evangelical Christian by Roy Clements – delivered at...

they must be deluded!

Is that right? Wow, I wonder how can any human being ever not sin? Even the most godly have struggles with various sins and weaknesses!
