Hi Paidion, You wrote: "There will be a resurrection of the righteous and of the wicked (There is no scriptural evidence that the wicked will simply remain dead. This is what the term "conditional immortality" suggests to me.)" I know you associate immortality only with the resurrection of the body,...

Hi Homer, First, as I said, I did not imagine that you had the motives I described. That is why I did not understand how you would raise arguments that would logically only seem to arise from such concerns. The idea that the sinner, whom God purifies through fire, and brings to repentance, has "gott...

This memo to Jonathan Edwards from his church secretary came, by a strange providence, into my hands today, and I thought it might interest our participants, and possibly provoke discussion: Memo to: Jonathan Edwards Re: Your sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" The Spanish Inquisition call...

Hi David,
It's good to have you input. I look forward to more discussion of the conditional immortality position (and any other subjects you may post about).

It is my opinion, though, that the CI view makes the most sense of the most verses. I can't say that I disagree with you. I have always...

Hi Suzana, You wrote: you again said you thought your sins were deserving of hell. Given that this is usually understood by most people to mean never-ending literal torment, I’m curious that you don’t feel uncomfortable to be seemingly affirming a view which you are actually questioning. Thanks for ...

Because of my recently renewed efforts to fully research the various views of hell, I have gone back to read again all of the threads on this subject. As a result, I have the following observations to make, to which anyone may respond or disagree: 1. There is a lot of discussion about universalism, ...

Isn't it great that the biblical caracters are so complex, and not one-dimensional—just like real people? I don't know what to think of some of David's actions (even as I am not sure how to assess or explain some of my own). His killing the man who told him of Saul's death seems a bit severe to me, ...
