Matthew 25:46 YLT " And these shall go away to punishment age-during, but the righteous to life age-during." Does anyone find it strange that the literal translation does not use forever or eternal, in this translation? In fact, except for referring to God, you will find it difficult anywhere...

I will answer like you do; yes it does

SBG, This is a interesting thought about this word "many" in respect to the Jewish mind set (Romans 5:19). Bubba Joachim Jeremias, ...in Greek writing polloi (many) is exclusive, referring to the many or the majority as opposed to all, where as in Hebrew and Jewish Greek literature polloi...

1 Timothy 4:10 (Young's Literal Translation) "for for this we both labour and are reproached, because we hope on the living God, who is Saviour of all men -- especially of those believing." 1 John 2:2 (Young's Literal Translation) "and he -- he is a propitiation for our sins, and not for...

Westtexas, When considering these verses one must first decide what is meant "the nations", most automatically think "people" is what is meant, but what if it is governments, religious systems, or ideologies that oppress God's elect and not individuals? I believe Jesus did not have "people"...

What is popular is not always true, and what is true is not always popular, check a Greek Translation (like Young's) on the few verses that actually are used to support the eternal punishment position.You will be surprised! Bubba

Instead of posting this, would not addressing the quotes if they are true or not be more advantageous? Or have you come to the point where there is no possibility, that you may be wrong about your views on Hell or anything else? Bubba

What took place in Gehenna in respect to the Jews was judgment. The fires did go out and the worms did cease to live. Jesus (especially in Matthews gospel), warned the religious leaders over and over again that imminent judgment was approaching. When asked when the Temple would be destroyed, He...

Quote from J. Preston Eby’s article: “In my study of the lake that burns with fire and brimstone I was very much helped and impressed by the understanding given by Charles Pridgeon and I would like to quote from his scholarly work on the subject of BRIMSTONE. He says: "The Lake of Fire and...

On the Word “Eternal†In His book “God’s Methods with Man†the Rev. G. Campbell Morgan says this about the word “eternalâ€: “Let me say to Bible students that we must be very careful how we use the word “eternity.†We have fallen into great error in our constant use of that word...
