The thing is, we all, from time to time, infer things in the bible that are not really there. It’s why the early church believed we were the center of the universe and the sun revolved around the earth.

The more I read the bible, the more places I find where I have based my beliefs not on what it says, but on what I inferred it to mean on some previous reading. My beliefs change accordingly.

It is how I became a believer in annihilation as opposed to eternal, conscious suffering for those who die without Jesus. As I read the scriptures dealing with the subject (and there are a LOT of them), the picture became crystal clear.

That’s your scriptural source for showing they are not in chronological order? I saw no scripture in that response.
