Death or Not Death

[dcontroversal]

Not jumping around, you took a "verse" out of context and then demand what I think it means:

Eccl 3:10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.

Eccl 3:11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

Eccl 3:12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.

Eccl 3:13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.

Eccl 3:14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

Eccl 3:15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

Eccl 3:16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.


You are trying to use this for what purpose? The thread has been discussing death/soul/immortality.

Eccl 3:14 is related to the discussion how?

Are these questions too difficult for you?

I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

What does the bolded mean? <---answer this

In particular WHATSOEVER means? <--answer this

simple.....and the verse stands alone based upon the words WHATSOEVER and FOR EVER

In context of the thread it does not mean anything.

I'm sure you have a point so to prevent this back and forth I suggest you get to it.

The fact that you will not answer speaks volumes.....

WHATSOEVER MEAN?

Forever:

Strongs

H5769 `owlam o-lawm'

or lolam {o-lawm'};

from H5956; properly, concealed, i.e. the vanishing point; generally, time out
of mind (past or future), i.e. (practically) eternity; frequentatively, adverbial
(especially with prepositional prefix) always:--alway(-s), ancient (time), any
more, continuance, eternal, (for, (n-))ever(-lasting, -more, of old), lasting, long
(time), (of) old (time), perpetual, at any time, (beginning of the) world (+
without end). Compare H5331, H5703.


Forever can also have an end, as in various institutions under the Mosaic law that were said to be "owlam" but had their end under Christ.

Thanks, Magenta!

I looked at some of the article, but not all. And then I looked up Christadelphians and this group of people aren't biblical believers. So it's hard for me to take what they write seriously.

Desertrose, if you cannot accept anything from anyone who is in error about anything you must then throw out much of your Bible.

I did find an article by David Reagan whom I admire and will read His on destruction. This will take me awhile because I'm going to read the Hebrew and Greek along with reading in context and cross referencing.

I would love to find biblical truth that my loved ones who don't accept the Lord will not be tortured forever. However, I don't want to compromise God's truth either.

Why don't you just read the Bible? I gave a multitude of Scriptures that plainly state the wages of sin is death. You wish you could find the truth on this when I have put it before your very eyes.

I did find at askquestions.org an article that speaks to this subject. I thought you might like to read it as well.

No, thanks, I have seen it before. You should give up them as a source as well because they are not right about everything either.

Eternity is another aspect which annihilationists fail to fully comprehend.

Please spare me. I have addressed this issue multiple times now. Pretending I have not is insulting.
