Subject: psalms... judgement chapter 1 verse 5 |
Bible Note: Hi Ariel, IMO, eternal punishment is just that... eternal! Note Matt. 25:46, "These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."(NASB) Eternal life has the corrolary of eternal punishment. The noun 'punishment' (Gr. kolasin) is modified by the adj. "eternal" (Gr. aionion). Here "aionion" would appear to be used in the sense of "lifelong" or "enduring". As Hodge notes regarding Future Punishment: "Our Lord in his account of the final judgment says, that the wicked shall go away into everlasting punishment; but the righteous into life eternal." In fairness, there are varying views regarding what this future punishment and it's duration entail! Time doesn't permit me to elaborate... maybe later:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
