If you have a biblical passage saying that destroy means ruin in this case, or that something that can be destroyed is still eternal, then please, share it.It would be nice if the Scriptures had a glossary, but it doesn’t. For this reason we approach references to destruction the same way we approach references to death. For example:
…but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die. -Genesis 2:17
Adam and Eve do not die within the next 24 hours. Most take this to involve a inner spiritual death, seperation from our Lord’s presence. Exegesis is a skill built up over time; it’s an art not a science. WC is just doodling on the bathroom walls. We are oil painting, although Godschild and Drich tend towards realism and I have a more abstract style.
