Dear Tim, John 17:12 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. KJV In the above verse the son of perdition is lost. The Greek word for lost in this verse is NT:622 apollumi (ap-ol'-loo-mee); from NT:575 and the base of NT:3639; to destroy fully (reflexively, to perish, or lose), literally or figuratively: from, NT:575 apo (apo'); a primary particle; "off," i.e. away (from something near), in various senses (of place, time, or relation; literal or figurative): and from the base of, NT:3639 olethros (ol'-eth-ros); from a primary ollumi (to destroy; a prolonged form); ruin, i.e. death, punishment: The Greek word for perdition in John 17:12 is NT:684 apoleia (ap-o'-li-a); from a presumed derivative of NT:622; ruin or loss (physical, spiritual or eternal): Bless you, Love Fountain |

Greetings Love Fountain! The reason I asked is that we so often go beyond what the Scripture actually says. In this case, destruction obviously means death or destructon. However, to go beyond that and add the thought of being sentenced is simply more than the verse says. All we really know from John 17:12 is that he was someone who was given to Christ by God, he was lost, and he is destined for destruction. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
