  1. L

    Very clear examples with outside supporting verses which demonstrate that aiōnion means eternal.

    The Book of Revelation (eis tous aiōnas tōn aiōnōn) contra Universalism

    Universalists I have come across commonly state that the lake of fire is not a place of eternal duration but of temporal duration. It may last an age and then those in it will get out as they have come to faith in Christ because the fire is not a punishment but a correction. John uses “forever...

    John 3:36 and Universalism

    John 3:36 : “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” I have seen some Universalists claim that John 3:36 doesn’t affect their doctrine at all. Instead they agree with it because they agree that...

    Can Universalism be refuted without using the word "aiōnion"?

    I have seen Universalists making a big fuss about the greek word "aiōnion" and claiming that it does not mean "eternal". Which I believe that it does it is confirmed by the early church fathers and by lexicons and all translations in english. I refuse to believe that all major translations for...

    Universalism- Why a literal reading of the King James Bible may imply that everyone will be saved

    I believe in a literal interpretation of the King James Bible, but studying it as literal truth has ironically gotten me to the point where I tend to agree with Universalism (that the most likely outcome for our universe is that God gets His way and everyone is brought to Salvation). I think one...

    The great Divide: Eternal Conscious Hell

    Preamble: My faith involves the Theology of our pre-conception, pre-earth, existence or PCE. It involves the creation of all beings in GOD's image well before the creation of the physical universe. I will write about it as a finished faith, and as the truth but I will preface it as my Christian...

    Really struggling with the idea of Hell

    I've been a Christian for 3 and a half years, and for the first time, I'm starting to really wrestle with the idea of a loving God sending people to Hell. Throughout my life as a Christian, I've never questioned it. I've always thought, "Of course it's fair that God sends non-Christians to Hell...

    The State of the Dead!!!

    The State of the Dead Psalm 6:5 KJV — For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? Psalm 88:10 KJV — Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah. Psalm 115:17 KJV — The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go...

    Children Committing Suicide

    I pretty much believe that most suicides go to hell. But when I hear of children--tweens and teens, committing suicide, it's even more sad, imagining a kid in hell. What do you think on this issue? Sad because they think they're ending their pain, but their pain ends up becoming magnified by...
