No 'eternal torment' in your bible... just a bad translation !

Forget that the bible was translated and one can end up misled by the dogma of the translator... the bible explains itself , and says so , if one takes time to look and understand...

 The Greek word that is translated into 'eternal' is "aionion." and it comes from the Greek root , "aion", meaning an "age" or "aeon" of time.

Mainline christianity is still fighting to maintain that an age can be an infinite length of time, but in fact all the places this word is used in scripture can be very satisfactorily interpreted by seeing that it is most definitely a finite length of time, an aeon cannot be infinite... and indeed we know from modern Physics that time was created with space as one thing in creation of the universe, so it will end when this earth and heavens ends ... time itself is finite, and the churches only fight to pretend it is not because they cannot afford to be seen as having been wrong for over a thousand years... bad for the image of infallibility and authority! ... bad for attendance and money coming in...

That single mistranslation is responsible for all the scripture quoted in support of 'eternal punishment' and it is truly irrational now we now that there is no infinity of time, that Newton's assumption was mistaken...

So some people resort to trying to punish the immortal spirit of a man even after it returns to God ! They have just lost their senses trying to keep disproven dogma alive , the spirit cannot suffer, it is beyond time , it cannot be damaged, timeless God cannot be damaged... time is needed for damage...

It is a deductive proof then that spirit cannot suffer, it just comes from the meaning of the words, one should not have to prove it if people simply understood the words they use, but then most do not bother with anything so menial as actually understanding what they are saying [LOL? ]

You would not credit how much hot air has been wasted over one sloppy translation error [until one looks at history and finds that it was not a mistake, it was deliberate deception ... equally, how could anyone who works on translation as a speciality make such an elementary error, it has to have been deliberate, and based upon personal mis-beliefs of the time, and that indeed is what we find from the history , the mistranslation came because people believed this at the time, just as Jesus points out, the churches have to become apostate , it is part of God's plan... but one cannot really expect churches top teach this scripture !]

So it turns out to be yet another religious conspiracy, one that continues although clearly now on the back foot because people in mainline churches insisted that they be allowed to read scripture for themselves, the churches finally caved in on that one and hoped people would not bother... indeed most still don't, but some do and some see through the deception... still only a few ... the churches cave-i n was a good move for them because if they had not then more people would have read the scripture in defiance than now trouble to read it for what is one reason that it was written for :-

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

For myself I understood it from the heart of love... if one's god is that love then it is for all men , it requires equality ... and God surely has the means to create saints even from stiff-necked, rebellious idolatous Israel by means of simply showing them His truth... so it will work for many others too as Jesus states [Rev 7:9-10]

By the time God has redeemed countless many simply by telling His truth to all men [Joel 2:28, John 16:13] there is only Satan and the most evil of men left ... such a clever move by God because the evil then suffer their own evil , there is no-one 'good' left to prey upon and the all lose out... this then is the lake of the fire of God's truth rained down on those who do not accept his truth even when given it by Him after he has shown His power by resurrecting them!

To me that lake of 'fire' is beautiful 'poetic' justice , a loving way to get men to see evil never was good at all and sue for His enduring mercy... one cannot devise a farer way for men to come to see things God's way who just will not believe it when told by God...

So they will all abandon Satan and turn to love, accept Jesus' way and obey his command to love as their lord , and in the end Satan is left alone and God has proved to His 'prodigal son' that he is not the god of men at all, all have deserted him because of what he taught ...

Thus even Satan commits to love in the end... the proof is perhaps one of the most powerful statements made by Jesus in all scripture , the endpoint where love conquers all evil and all creation accepts Jesus as Lord , commits to his command and is loving, thus perfect in love after trial to see they are, all are translated to spirit and that is the end of time, the end of the physical.. :-

Revelation 5:13 [Rotherham Emphasised Bible] And, every created thing which was in heaven, and upon the earth, and under the earth, and upon the sea, and, all the things in them, heard I, saying�"Unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, be the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the dominion, unto the ages of ages!

The proof of salvation of all can be seen in many scriptures , far too many to put here even in a list, but this one verse is sufficient in itself to show that if one realises that Jesus commands love and perfect love [no unlovingness, no sin] is sufficient for redemption to spirit]

There is also the proof some require that Satan was created and manifests as a man [Ezek 28]

There is much more of course which you will likely read and see for yourself in scripture , and I daresay there are many more discussions for us

but this is a sufficient sketch of the initial point, enough to disprove what almost all christian sinners believe these days... but universal salvation was believed in the early 'church' by a substantial group until they were branded 'heretics' by the meeting at Nicaea ... such is the problem of giving power to sinners, they will trample on the pearls ... soon you may come to see that it all has to be that way , it was all prophesied and written down , even in the Torah it is prefigured by symbols , events , and promises of God to Israel...

You will also come to see why few people bother to unravel and integrate the scripture and why God's plan indeed requires them not to do so at this time , something I argued with God about for three years ... He likes to win arguments and I am the winner really, by learning why he is right , it is one way to learn ....
