when you actually read the constitution... it's so simple.. and actually very short.
it's men and judges that have distorted the document beyond recognition ignoring what it clearly says and reading into it things it never said.
Yep. The jews did it before Jesus, and the church does it now. When I even mention the thought that the fate of the lost is permanent death, I get so much vitrol from the other side, it’s disturbing. And the logical translation gymnastics they go through to explain their position would be laughable if it were not so serious. On a side note, I used to be one of them until I actually studied the subject.
It’s really very simple: eternal life vs death/destruction/perish/etc. It’s all over the bible. People fail to really grasp the contrasting conditions and the actual words used in the bible, both in modern translations and the original greek or hebrew.
