Of course. You have a hard time getting to the point and being clear for some reason. What are you trying to say?you understand the difference between current vs future?
If you don’t want to address my question that is fine
either way, you agree it’s not will be?
The English words "may be blotted out" are translated from the Greek word "exaleiphō" which means "to blot out" or "to wipe away". The words "may be" do not mean "maybe" as if it's saying if you repent your sins may or may not be blotted out. No, that's not what it's saying at all. If you repent your sins WILL be blotted out. Translating it as "may be blotted out" was a mistake by the translators and gives a false impression of what the word actually means.If you don’t want to address my question that is fine

alright then, if you view it that way
That's how the English language views it.
Mark 5
22 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,
23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.
Jairus didn't believe that she maybe would be healed if Jesus came.
He knew that she would be healed.
With certainty.
Both are dead. They will have a say at the GWT though. Or will Jesus' generation be in Paradise? Paradise is the judgment of rewards. Will those from Nineveh get more rewards than Jesus' generation?Mat 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Mat 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
Since when is judging others a good thing? Jesus was pointing out His generation was worse off and would never repent.Since when does repentance not result in salvation? You actually think they repented of their sins and will still end up in the lake of fire?
The following passage indicates that the day of judgment will go well for them:
Matthew 12:41 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now something greater than Jonah is here.
This is not how unsaved people would be described.
I am understanding what Peter said literally.
Salvation is accepting the Atonement. Was Nineveh's sins corporately blotted out that one time or for all time? Did that cover every generation of Nineveh, from the first settler to that last one living in Nineveh?The English words "may be blotted out" are translated from the Greek word "exaleiphō" which means "to blot out" or "to wipe away".

The same Greek word is used in this verse:
Revelation 3:5 5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Do you think Jesus was saying here that he that overcomes he will blot out his name out of the book of life or that He will NOT blot out his name from the book of life?
