My pleasure. All we can do is keep providing the truth and perhaps we can reach some people who are on the fringes thinking about joining or leaving one of the heterodox groups.Thank you for deending my position against Fine Linen and St. Stephen. Now if they would only recognize these truths, all would be well!
There are three views of the final judgment. I have chosen a different view than you and most others. Yet I am treated as if I came from another planet. Go figure.
No, I'm not saying that at all. Very worth while. Now and forever.You're basically saying that faith in Christ is a waste of time and energy..
So you weren't saved by faith... standing in the vast presence of truth in your face?
Besides, Jesus went and proclaimed himself to those in Hades between his crucifixion and resurrection. And one day every knee will bow and tongue acknowledge him, on earth, in heaven and under the earth. How can you say it's not possible when it has already happened?
Maybe because your view is not biblical, lets everyone get a trophy.. just like the "all winners" tournaments of today...There are three views of the final judgment. I have chosen a different view than you and most others. Yet I am treated as if I came from another planet. Go figure.
True true.Thank you for deending my position against Fine Linen and St. Stephen. Now if they would only recognize these truths, all would be well!
Well, my buddy at work denies God out right.. Say's I'm a fool for believing in a fairy tale.. He's arrogant and well educated... His morals and integrity are non existent...No, I'm not saying that at all. Very worth while. Now and forever.
Well, my buddy at work denies God out right.. Say's I'm a fool for believing in a fairy tale.. He's arrogant and well educated... His morals and integrity are non existent...
But.. he doesn't need faith in Christ and, according to you.. will go for a walk with me in eternity... because God is going to give him a "good talking too"...
Yep, done that..You should tell him the bible says the fool says in his heart there is no God.
We had a difference of opinion. I'm not interested in going backwards.Yes, every knee will bow... We went over this before... did we not..
Seriously?Maybe because your view is not biblical
Ok.. so.. just ignore evidence that you are in error.. good choice.We had a difference of opinion. I'm not interested in going backwards.
Finally, you understand. Now was that so difficult? - lolWell, my buddy at work denies God out right.. Say's I'm a fool for believing in a fairy tale.. He's arrogant and well educated... His morals and integrity are non existent...

People here have shown you time and time again, with scripture and Greek translations.. and simple analysis and comprehension of the text.. that you are incorrect.Seriously?
I have been supporting my views with scripture all along.
When only one set of opinions are allowed, it makes for a very small world.Ok.. so.. just ignore evidence that you are in error.. good choice.
Could we not say the same thing to you?People here have shown you time and time again, with scripture and Greek translations.. and simple analysis and comprehension of the text.. that you are incorrect.
Not to mention the simple logic and theological impossibilities.
Anyway... I'm done here.
God bless.
Well it must be true this guy Eby who has no stated qualifications in Greek says it is.I am aware that some people will oppose us on the grounds that the Greeks of today use the phrase "the aions of the aions" meaning eternal, everlasting. A Greek gentleman told me several years ago that "the ages of the ages" is how they express eternity in Greek, and that when the book of Revelation says "and the smoke of their torment ascends up to the ages of the ages" (Rev. 14:11) it means FOREVER. Ah, that sounds convincing, conclusive, final and unanswerable, does it not? But precious friend of mine, in studying Bible language we are studying ANCIENT GREEK, not MODERN. The Greek language in two thousand years has changed to such an extent that the ancient tongue is altogether unintelligible to a modern Greek. The fact is, for over a thousand years, up till the year A.D. 1453, Greek was almost unknown or forgotten in most of Europe. Even in Italy, which formerly had been dominated by Greek, it became almost unknown. Ancient Greek has been a dead language for 1500 years! Anyone who knows anything at all will at once see the utter ridiculousness of this form of argument. Ancient and modern Greek are as different as day and night. As well might we teach our children the English of 2,000 years ago, and then expect them to be proficient in modern English, as to try to apply modern meanings to ancient Greek. The older the English, the more unintelligible it becomes. The spelling changes, word meanings change, sentence structure changes, until finally one is hopelessly lost in a morass of indecipherable hieroglyphics. Even in the four centuries since the translation of the King James Bible, what changes have taken place! "Thee" and "thou" have been replaced by the more familiar "you" and are no longer used except in classical literature and religion. "Let" meant to "restrain or prevent" in King James' day; now the word means exactly the opposite, to "permit or allow"! So with Greek. Ancient Greek is a dead language, while modern Greek is a living language, with about as much similarity as there is between German and English.
