So you keep saying. But where is YOUR correct exegesis of Scripture? Simply repeating the same thing ad nauseam does not make it true.

Indeed so. IF it was the same Spirit breathed into Adam - and is the same Spirit as that which His apostles and disciples received - than all descendants of Adam would, logically, have had that same Spirit. And IF that were the case in that it is the same Spirit received by apostles and...

Yes indeed. Your indifference says it all.

You will not or cannot address the relevant points I legitimately raise, you then, probably because of that situation in which you cannot articulate a reasonable response falsely accuse me of 'snark', and now you want me to do what you will not or cannot do.

You have offered nothing in the way of facts and evidence and merely given an emotional knee-jerk response which is only opinion and what is evident is you haven't even attempted to make an objective assessment.

The difference between us is that throughout this thread I've at various times explained in my own words and making the points about the need to understand the original meaning of the words Hell, Sheol, Hades, and Gehenna; and that much of Revelation is written in symbolic language i.e. the...

WB: My position on this issue - unlike that of certain others who base their view on a 'blinkered' understanding of Hell, Sheol, Hades, and Gehenna and which you haven't addressed - is not restricted to just that aspect but is of a wider scope. I share the views articulated in this article...

Collins English Dictionary: destruction: being destroyed...demolition...ruin. In what way is, say, a car relatively destroyed when an insurance assessor writes it off? Or a ruined building and the authorities say the shell must be razed to the ground? And a dead human body is cremated and the...

Well, given that you evidently share the views of "the best scholar" perhaps you will give a sound and reasonable rebuttal to my points by drilling down into the original meaning of the words Sheol, Hades, Hell, Gehenna and do so in the context that Revelation contains much in the way of...

I can only reasonably conclude that your indoctrination in this issue is a barrier to you seeing that what you have cited does nothing whatsoever to underscore your belief and that it actually supports the very point I've been making.

If you cannot recognize that Revelation uses symbolic language and cannot understand that only those who are saved i.e. regenerated i.e born again will at a time yet FUTURE be granted IMMORTALITY and that those who aren't amongst the saved do NOT have immortal souls - then I cannot assist you in...

LOL Now I know that you are a games player - and it must be said - not very good at the game you're playing. IF you stopped playing silly games and took serious matters seriously and engaged your God-given brain you would have understood that the Scripture you quoted is about utterly destroying...

I will suggest that you stand back, take a very good look at your belief. Then drill down into the details of the original meaning of those specific words in the context that Revelation was written in SYMBOLIC language so that only believers would understand what those symbols signified and the...

We are living in the 'Age of Disinformation' and it starts with people such as you have quite rightly pointed, namely, those who treat words like Humpty Dumpty in that "a word means whatever I want it to mean" e.g. destroy means indestructible; God alone is immortal to mean ALL are immortal...

HiH: I simply asked a question about the illogical parts of annihilationism, not sure why the need for the personal disparaging comment as if to judge me on what I have researched. WB: It is evident from your stated position and absence of a sound exposition of Scripture taking into...

I have never engaged in the insane activity of banging my head against a brick wall but trying to get through to you is the equivalent and so I will leave you to your irrational beliefs and hope that one day you may just decide to put on a THINKING hat.

You have yet again missed the point. The point I was making was that those who take every word in the Bible literally IF they were being consistent would also take the words of the Psalmist literally - because they don't ever bother to trouble themselves to think critically. That's the point.

So, it would appear that you have adjusted your position. Well and good for that. Now you may want to go to the next step. Your premise which serves as the basis for your belief in eternal conscious punishment is Immortality of the Soul. “Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which...

As usual you miss the point. It has been said in this forum that Hell and Sheol are synonymous in that they are places of conscious suffering. Job was suffering on Earth and yet he wanted to go to Sheol. IF you were to be consistent you would be saying Job would suffer even more so in...
