There is no question people learn from coming at a theological topic from different perspectives. However, nothing can be gleaned when one side does not recognize the omnipresent , sovereign, omnipotent, omni-genesis characteristics of the one God both sides are intending to discuss. God's is a Holy Spirit. His presence does not stop at Hell. Hell cannot keep God out. God created Hell and all its characteristics that are believed in. Hell is sourced from God. When God is sovereign and creator of all things for all time there is no place God cannot be. Because all things "be", because God made them to be.Well it beats battling over politics. (Just kidding). I've learned a lot from JLB presenting his views on the meaning of various Bible passages. As I could potentially from yourself. In the Theological debate section of this forum, you're gonna get disagreement (and agreements) on various Bible passage's meanings. If we all agreed, it wouldn't mean we were all Biblically sound. We could all be wrong.
What you can't see, however, is the many posts he and others make that present a Biblical passage or logical argument based upon them in a way I've never considered. To me, that's called learning Truth.
It's always helpful though, if the discussions progress with reasonable/relevant Bible cross references, logical arguments and answers to reasonable questions. When people will not participate with additional relevant Bible passages or answer reasonable questions, it seems nauseating sure.
I could learn, for example, what answer you think God provided to David's question in Psalm 139 if you'd answer that question. Or why you think Paul told us the final punishment of the wicked is eternal destruction "away from the presence of God". Etc.
Okay. I prefer a broader theological scope to include what the Sovereign told Paul and John concerning His Final Judgment upon the wicked.
How do you know that to be true, if all you know comes from Genesis 1 or Got Questions? Should you not consider Scriptures that teach that our Sovereign God could very well be Sovereign enough to one day destroy all evil "away from His presence"?
Yep. The beginning AND the end.
Correct.
Psalm 139:6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me. It is set high; I cannot prevail against it.
Which is why I asked you twice for God's answer to David's question in verse 7.
Psalm 139:7 Where I can go from your Spirit, or where can I flee from your presence?
Yep or the penalty (2nd death) of the wicked away from the Omniscient.
2 Thessalonians 1:9 who will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his strength,
It isn't an argument. It is God. Arguing God cannot be in Hell is not arguing the God of the Bible and his sovereignty.
Just as what cannot be learned from those that argue against eternal salvation is how to be saved.
