Featured What does ETERNAL mean?

Amen, Sissy, amen. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

 

And from multiple sources -- and I'm not quoting them -- the definition of an eon or age is as I have stated.

Also, anyone knows that the word "eternal" can in no way ever be applied to an age.

I suggest that those who interpreted the word as meaning eternal or forever either had an agenda for doing so, or were influenced by paganism and/or Zoroastrianism.

It is quite clear that to interpret an eon or age as meaning eternal is a grossly false rendering of the term.

For instance, if you study Rotherham's Emphasized Bible, the most literal and faithful to the original languages of any Bible that's ever been produced, you'll see that what I have stated is correct.

 

I'm not saying that because I don't know and neither does anyone else. I'd say that the duration of the punishment or separation is dependent on the person involved and the mercy and justice of God. I could elaborate, but it might get into a very long discourse.

 

That would be pretty hard to believe wouldn't it:

Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

 

We no longer have to do the works of the law, i.e. circumcision, sin offerings, etc., (see Colossians 2:14) that does NOT mean we do not have to do right and good deeds.

What good is it if someone claims to have faith but has no good deeds? Can such faith save them? Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that.

You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? Abraham was considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar. You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.

The scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called God’s friend.

You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.

Do you agree with what I posted? No, then you do NOT believe the Word of God, because I took this from the Bible. See James 2:14-22.

 

You call God Master. Let me ask you, do you think you are a servant then, correct? If you are a servant, do you not believe you have to do anything God asks? And when God your Master comes and catches you not doing what He told you to do, what do you think will happen to you?

Luke 12
35 “Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, 36 like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. 37 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them. 38 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak. 39 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. 40 You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”

42 The Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? 43 It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. 44 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 45 But suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and he then begins to beat the other servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk. 46 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

 

Psalm 14:1 "There is no God."

Do you agree with what I posted? No, then you do NOT believe the Word of God, because I took this from the Bible. See Psalm 14:1.

 

You do not want to acknowledge that you teach others they do not have to do deeds, nor anything to be saved. I have shown you from scripture that that is not true what you said.

 

Do not use scripture to try to disprove scripture that is how Satan uses scripture. Check out the temptation of Jesus.

 

Actually, it is. That's the English rendition of the word.

 

Let me interrupt to ask that you all go to the thread I started in the "Prayer Requests" section and read my post there, and then offer your prayers. Thanks!

 

My answer would be as I have already stated.
