JESUS OUTSIDE the BIBLE

<p>We believe many sincere Christians have been misled into believing a lie, that hell supposedly will never end. This is a slander against Christ. He said "Behold, I am making all things new" (Rev 21:5). Does "all thing" include hell? Jesus earlier had said that people will suffer proportionally-according to their works-some with "many" stripes and some with "few" (Lk 12:47-48). He also said the "soul" of the unbeliever can be destroyed (Mt 10:28). Nevertheless, many sincere Christians have embraced the false-Greek notion that the "soul" somehow is naturally "immortal"-can never be destroyed. Should Christians believe Plato or Jesus? Unbelievers will eventually, after suffering for sin, cease being.    A new translation has come out, THE LASTING BIBLE (TLB). It correctly translates two Bible words that have been mistranslated. Habakkuk 3:6, for example, says "He stood and shook the earth. He looked and made the nations tremble. The lasting (olam) mountains were crumbled. The age-old hills collapsed. His ways are lasting (olam)." The same Hebrew word is used both for long-time past and long-time future, and "lasting" is the English equivalent. To say God's ways are lasting is no insult to God; in fact, it is honoring Him by correctly translating His Word. The ESV mistranslates both with "everlasting" (adding "ever" to lasting), but the "mountains" all had a "beginning"-do not go back "everlastingly" into the past. There are 439 olams in the OT. The NT equivalent is aionios, and it also means lasting.</p>
