The question was about what is the youngest age to burn in hell....
Whoever's name is not written in the book of life will perish in eternal perdition (Rev. 20:15).

Interesting choice of translation; which one is it and why did you choose it?
So, what is the bottom line for the curious ?
Whoever's name is not written in the book of life will perish in eternal perdition (Rev. 20:15) .

The quotation I supplied was from the Recovery Version. (RcV)
That has nothing to do with any 12 step program.
The sentence about eternal perdition was not my quotation of any English translation.

Originally posted by divegeesterHe explained himself pretty well, I thought. It seems obvious to me what he meant. He was explaining his thoughts on it. It was not a quote. He gave a scripture verse notation to it so one could look up the actual verse which backs up what he said. I'm sure you're familiar with the term 'paraphrase'? And why are you busting his chops so badly on this anyways?

[b]"Whoever's name is not written in the book of life will perish in eternal perdition (Rev. 20:15)"
You are (were in that post) misquoting scripture; there is no mention of either "perdition" nor use of the word "eternal" in any English translation of Rev 20:15 that I can find.[/b]
PS I have no idea what you are referring to when you say "that has nothing to do with any 12 step program". This is not something I mentioned, nor you in your previous post for that matter.He only mentioned this because he mentioned he got a quote from the Recovery Version. Man, are you okay? You're definitely not following along too well tonight.

Sorry sonship.
Originally posted by sonshiplake of fire, symbolic of eternal destruction, there is no hell , a place of torment, its entirely incongruous with a just and loving God, why Christians portray God as monstrous is known only to them, the scriptures do not support it and everyone that knows anything about it knows that its a pre Christian pagan teaching.

Originally posted by SuzianneYeah, I'm sure that makes sense in your mind.
No, it's not surprising that atheists do not understand theists.
But it is surprising that theists often do not understand one another, when we have a resource to follow to ensure understanding: James 1:5-6
" If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
But let him as ...[text shortened]... ing of little faith, because it is what they are used to.
This is a fault of man, not of God.
