*by Heaven I mean some sort of spiritual kingdom as modern day Christians mean it. 'heaven' is referred to as the physical sky, where apparently God physically resides, several places in the OT. |

And the verses I listed in post #252 above are not all that obscure.

It is the attempt to "reconstruct" millennia-old events, using "plausible conjecture" which excludes the actual "knowledge" of them reported in the ancient texts, that is manifestly unfounded. Quote:

theological position. Given data that is in opposition to what they have theorized, a historian may modify his position based on the new data. In the same position, I have no doubt that an apologist would hide the data or lie about it. |

"If a man defile (Gr. phtheiro) the temple of God" (local church--mar it by leading it away from holiness of life and purity of doctrine), him shall God destroy (Gr. phtheiro--retributive destruction of one who is guilty of the sin of phtheiro). The meaning of destruction, etc. is addressed in post #234. Quote:
Annihilation in the sense that shriverja uses it, does not mean destruction of the body, or even reducing it to dust. It means destruction of the being of one's spirit, so that there is no entity in eternity. Annihilation, in the sense that shriverja uses it, is not in the NT. Nor is that the meaning in your verses below, where it refers to destruction of the body. Quote:
