There we go!
So, you are supporting the Greek myth of Hades and Tartaroos as being Biblical in nature?
Are you also supporting the translation of aion (an age) as "eternal" while the Greek word for eternal is generally viewed as "aionios"(sp?)
No, I do not support the Greek myths, these are Greek words used to write the scriptures during a time when most spoke Greek. Yes I do support the word aion, it is used in Matt. 25:46 to describe punishment and life, same word for both. So both punishment and life are eternal or I've wasted my time. Also look up 2nd Thess. 1:9-10. Aion includes all of time, past, present and future.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
