beloved57,

If you can even read the bold face letters in my post #47, just a few posts above this, you would get the central facts concerning the verses in English that you've relied on for supposed proof of the greatest evil imaginable, permanent unending torture.

Nowhere in the Bible are there words to the effect that people will suffer the greatest evil imaginable, permanent unending torture. All you have to do is find it once stated and you'll have proven me wrong.

Why don't you read and answer post #47 on page 5? It primarily attempts to make you read the English language versions of the 2 verses you can't seem to read directly without an interpretation that blinds you to the actual words. Maybe they're wrong in English; but, if you can't read what they say, then you can't have any understanding of what they mean.

beloved57 does NOT read our posts on purpose. Staying that way will ruin his marriage: a bully, stubborn and self-centered, who only cares to hear his own opinion

Open up and become a patient, caring and thoughtful man, one with an understanding heart full of tender pity.

Jas 3:1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
Jas 3:2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
Jas 3:3 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
Jas 3:4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
Jas 3:5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
Jas 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity
: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
Jas 3:7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
Jas 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Jas 3:9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
Jas 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren,
these things ought not so to be.
Jas 3:11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
Jas 3:12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
Jas 3:13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
Jas 3:14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
Jas 3:15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
Jas 3:16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
Jas 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
Jas 3:18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.


Your gospel is one that says love and bless God and curse men and is based on only accepting the scriptures that support your view.

God cursed men...Matt 25:

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

No everlasting fire described in a translation labeled LITERAL

The same verse from the Rotherham

(Matthew 25:41) Then, will he say unto those also, on his left hand: Depart ye from me, accursed ones! Into the age-abiding fire, which hath been prepared for the adversary and his messengers;

Now if I am reading this, where will I get the idea that it is everlasting?

Is one right and the other wrong? No, Both are right in the proper perspective, figurative and literal.
