max grit.
posting someone else's speculative arguments does little for this thread.
let's get nitty gritty and see what your dialogue is here. Not some other teachers.
the biblical death your revered teacher expounds on is interesting.
He says the biblical death is life.
which actually is a greek, platonism philosophy. Not found in scripture.
He actually puts forth and verifies his perspective as coming from greek philosophy.
He swaps the modern definitions to be unbiblical. but does not understand in this point He proves ECT incorrect.
look at forever. modern dictionaries have changed the original greek and hebrew meaning from being (aion) withing the age of or period of time to incorrectly mean (never ending)
(perish) however has stayed constant in both modern english dictionaries and greek and hebrew meanings. appollumi to ((utterly)) destroy.
modern meaning also is 1.
to die or be destroyed through violence, privation, etc.:
to perish in an earthquake.
2.
to pass away or disappear:
an age of elegance that has forever perished.
3.
to suffer destruction or ruin:
His valuable paintings perished in the fire.
4.
to suffer spiritual death:
Save us, lest we perish.
the consistent theme and multiplicity of scripture that relate the wicked vanishing, cease to be forever, consumed by fire, kill and destroy both body and soul and suffering the 2nd spiritual death brings consistency and punctuation to the fact that
the wicked are not imperishable
are not indestructible
does not have eternal life
do not reside in Christ Who is the (LIFE)
their reward is quite clear no Christ, no eternity, no life.
only in Christ and the (next age) can anyone have these things.
the burning eternal fire does not regenerate that which it destroys.
The burning fire will do what it was meant to do. cause to perish, consume, destroy, kill, cease to be forever, cause to vanish away.
the above are all re-affirming points of scripture that reinforce the punishment and end of the wicked.
weight upon weight of scriptures to be ignored by ECT.
