One should not confuse being dissolved with being annihilated.
When a sugar cube is dropped in a glass of water, the sugar cube indeed dissolves but it does not cease to exist.

One should not confuse being dissolved with being annihilated. Yup. Which reminds me of something that I was thinking about today.
I was thinking that it's within God's power to reduce to nothing (annihilate) that which He brought into being from nothing. But to actually do so would seem to contradict God's goodness and justice, since Scripture tells us that everything He created is good.
Does this conclusion necessarily follow?
