Jewish Publication Society translation. Genesis 2:17 (17) but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.'

1 Cor 15:22 is often quoted as a "proof text" for universal reconciliation. But it does does say, as some folks try to twist it, "all will be made alive in Christ." The first part of the vs. "as in Adam all die," All mankind are literal descendants of Adam thus are "in Adam" but all mankind is...

I am not a Calvinist.,

Interesting story but I did not see any credible, verifiable, historical evidence supporting it just the usual anti-semitic accusations.

It most certainly is. John 10:28 does NOT refer to all mankind! John 10:27-29 (27) My sheep hear my voice, and I know them,*and they* follow me: [* Jesus' sheep not all mankind] (28) And I give unto them* eternal life; and they* shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them* out of my...

Everybody is NOT in Jesus' hand now and there is no scripture which says they are or will be. Read what Jesus, Himself said. Matthew 7:21-23 (21) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven...

One out-of-context vs. does NOT support salvation for all mankind, saved and wicked alike. See e.g. Jer 13;(14) And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD:[יהוה] I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.

As with some other denominations there are groups who call themselves baptists who may be more accepting of homosexual clergy but the Southern Baptist Convention is not one of those. Not long ago one of the big downtown churches the senior pastor retired. The church voted to hire a female pastor...

Luke 16:23 In hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, [not torture] and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus in his bosom. Orthodox Eastern Greek New Testamant. The New Testament ( The Eastern-Greek Orthodox Bible) : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

God does not "torture." God punishes the disobedient.

Jeremiah 13:10-11 (10) This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing. (11) For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man...

The years are catching up. My wife of 43 years has not so mild dementia.

I prefer the word that Jesus used i.e. "eternal punishment." Which is how it reads in the Eastern Greek Orthodox N.T.

I have not been as active recently. I'm an octogenarian.

These vss. seem to me to say that not everyone will be saved. Jeremiah 13:10-11 (10) This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for...

Unfortunately you have not provided any scriputure to support this.

Why do you reject the words of Jesus which I quoted earlier.in post #3 Here are 2 of 10 vss. John 3:15 (15) That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal [aionion] life. John 3:16 (16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth...

Unfortunately I don't see any scripture supporting any of this.

Tell you what amigo. You post a reasonable response to my post and I will reciprocate.

I see a lot of commentary but NO scripture supporting them. I did NOT add any unscriptural commentary to the 26 vss, I quoted. And nothing has been posted which addresses the 26 vss, I quoted.
