Hi Nick

The Greek word for all is pas, which is used 1243 times in the New Testament. We have examined almost every verse where pas has been used. In the overwhelming majority of cases, the context immediately makes it clear to whom or to what, all or every refers. Yes, there are scriptures in the Bible where the context shows that the Greek wo…[Read more]

Hi  ALL…..

II challeng anyone, including theologians and Bible scholars, who believes in the doctrine of eternal torture in hell, to show us how their belief can be reconciled with Colossians 1:15-20, without adding to or taking away from its clear inspired meaning. God bless

Gehenna was created for the devil and his angels, not for man.

Hi Nick

You speak as Gehenna and Hades are interchangable words. There not .    You said.

Hi Nick

Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

A soul, as shown by this verse, has the spark / breath of life, given by God.

Hi Nick

I pretty sure that the Jews new what Jesus was saying Nick.

Hi Nick

Gehenna=hell

The whole thing was intended to be figurative in the first place. Gehenna (hell) was known as Tophet (Isaiah 30:33 with Jeremiah 7:31) and remarkably the entire area will one day become holy to the Lord (Jeremiah 31:38–40). There will certainly not be any eternal fires in Gehenna. (The “unquenchable fires” of Matthew 3:12

Hi Anthony,

Gehenna was created for the devil and his angels, not for man.

Hades is just a place of waiting.(page 211)

I say

The geographical area that was a symbol of fiery judgment was the Valley of Hinnom (Gehenna) at the southeast corner of Jerusalem. Ect. Ect.

Gehenna and Hades are two different word.

The following passage in the book of Revelation is often cited in support of the belief that people are created with an immortal soul that survives in a conscious state after death:
