Example: Eternal punishment is death.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Yahshua our lord".
CherubRam,
Your scriptures are just swept under the carpet by the ECT folks. For some reason they want to believe that the wages of sin is eternal life being tortured 24/7 forever.
:nono:Your elevator is not going to the top, dude. Example: "the sight of drug dealers on his street fills him with abhorrence."

spiritual separation from God
when Adam ate from the tree he died spiritually that day
which is what Paul is writing about in Rom 7:9
spiritual death
Rom 7:9 I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died.
dying physically does not destroy your spirit.
we just interpret scripture correctly
there is physical death Joh 19:30
there is spiritual death Rom 7:9
there is death as a place Rev 20:14
:nono:
this clearly says the wicked will have everlasting contempt.
Dan 12:2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Dan 12:3 And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.
in your denial of the truth you deny that the wicked exist
so....
you have no drug dealers to fill me with abhorrence for eternity.
Eternal death is eternal separation from God in HELL !
already said :If I am right, then God told the truth; however, if you are right, then the Serpent told the truth. So who is telling the truth?
Genesis 2:17
...but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."
Genesis 3:4
"You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman.

There is a point to the parable of Lazarus and the rich man. The point is not to be buried near a rich man's grave because he will keep you up all night crying for water because his grave is on fire.
And what would the lake of fire be?
Eternal death is eternal separation from God in HELL !
dodge said:You are chaining God's word to suit your personal agenda. YOU are not God and have no right to change His word.
Non-sense.
More Non-Sense.Why then did Adam and Eve NOT know they were naked until Adam disobeyed God then HE and EVE knew they were naked. Why ? BECAUSE WHEN THEY DISOBEYED GOD THEY BECAME spiritually DEAD and until God sacrificed animals to cover them they were DEAD SPIRITUALLY.
More Non-Sense.
A body without a spirit is a dead body. We are spirits in physical bodies.
I suggest you ask God for His wisdom as YOU have NONE.
I guess you have never heard of a soul ?
Spirits in physical bodies are called souls.
Man has a body , soul , and a spirit. Those in Jesus have the Holy Spirit while those NOT in Jesus have the spirit of their father Satan.
Jesus said you must be born again or you in no way will enter the kingdom of heaven. No Holy Spirit through being born again NO heaven.
Those not born again will NEVER understand scripture or trust God's word. They will change His word to what they want it to say NOT what it actually says.
strawmanAnd nowhere does it actually say that anyone will be given eternal life so that they can be tortured forever.
