Hi Ray,
I did read the Hagee letter and it was the reason for my questions. I guess what I'm looking for are other references for the definition aions, not 10 or 20 or 100 pages of explanation. I can get your reasoning and details from what you've already written. It appears your teaching on hell (hades , sheoul) or whatever it's called, depends on the proper definition of aion.
No matter - I will read the articles you recommended, as well as everything else on your site and hopefully my questions will be answered. And just so you know, I really am kinda new at this. I've been trying to become a Christian for the past year or so, but I'm not convinced of anything yet. It seems like every time I think I have the right interpretation of scripture, a different one comes along. I don't know who to believe. If the trained Christians in the churches can't agree on what the truth is, what chance do I have? I know you're busy and I'm sorry to have bothered you - take care!
Warmly,
Gary
Dear Gary:
Everyone who is "new at all this" as you say, has many many questions. That is the reason I have written many hundreds of pages of magerials. I cannot possibly answer any questions by emails giving ten or twenty for one hundred pages of explanation. Therefore, you will have to read the material on our site. First read my paper on our home page: "IS EVERLASTING SCRIPTURAL." This paper will answer 99% of your questions. Ten read the Lake of fire seres, the paper WHICH BIBLE TRANSLATION IS BEST, read the first ten pages of my critique of Hagee's "SEVEN WONDEWRS OF HELL," etc.
God be with you,
Ray
