As you have every right to do, and I respect that.

Regardless of who is right, I wouldn't want to spend one minute separated from God, or see anyone else in that state, either.

With that I will agree.

 

[Michael Wrenn]

With that I will agree.

Common ground -- praise God!

I am happy to take third pace because when you're right, placement doesn't matter. :laugh:

Aha, but the original word translated incorrectly as "eternal" does not mean eternal or forever. "Aeon" or "eon" simply means a "long but indefinite period of time."

We ALL have an eternity before us, as the death of Christ obtained that we will never die, but we will eaither spend that eternity in eternal life, with Christ, or else in eyernal hell, apart from presense of Christ!

? for all.

Is it possible for there to be life, eternal or otherwise, outside of a resurrection for any man subject to, dying thou dost die, and did die.

What about the sinless one, the one who was made to be sin for us who knew no sin? He died.

Did he have to be raised from the dead in order for there to be life?

What would be the status of those who had died and would die had he not been raised from the dead?
