Data on John 1:1

[brightfame52]

And just how for any given person does that show you His wrath and make His power known to you? If it is not temporal, how do you know that it has even happened? How do you know that He has endured with much patience any given person that is prepared for destruction? The simple truth is that unless God has said that about the person it doesn't and you don't.

No its not temporal, its permanent, forever

I would like you to give God a chance to fill your heart with the light of his love.
God has decreed upon Himself that his mercy will always overcome his wrath.
That’s why in the Bible His mercy ( but not his wrath) is called eternal.

No its not temporal, its permanent, forever, everlasting destruction 2 Thess 1:9

Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

 

[Pancho Frijoles]

No its not temporal, its permanent, forever, everlasting destruction 2 Thess 1:9

Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Everlasting means that such state persists inasmuch as the conditions leading to that destruction persist.
Nobody can escape from hell…neither by money nor pleasures, addictions, popularity, wit, technology, political power, etc
Since there is no escape from hell, it can be considered everlasting… from the perspective of the sinner.

One example of this is the case of Jonah in the belly of a fish in the middle of the ocean. How can anyone escape from such situation?
Please notice the use of the metaphor Sheol and the term “forever” highlighted in green.

I cried out to the Lord because of my affliction,
And He answered me.
“Out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
And You heard my voice.
3 For You cast me into the deep,
Into the heart of the seas,
And the floods surrounded me;
All Your billows and Your waves passed over me.
4 Then I said, ‘I have been cast out of Your sight;
Yet I will look again toward Your holy temple.’
5 The waters surrounded me, even to my soul;
The deep closed around me;
Weeds were wrapped around my head.
6 I went down to the [a]moorings of the mountains;
The earth with its bars closed behind me forever;
Yet You have brought up my life from the pit,
O Lord, my God.

You obviously didn't even understand my question? But that is OK.

The Jews would not have considered Jesus a threat, but insane if he had walked around saying he was God. But it was a threat for Jesus to claim to be the Messiah of God and also walk around doing miracles. Jesus had not been claiming to be God in the flesh and this is why the Jews never asked him at his trial if he was God in the flesh, but instead they asked him about what he had been claiming to be, which was the Messiah. Mark 14:61-62 records the High Priest asking “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?" And Jesus said "I am.” The High Priest tore his garments and said he deserved to be put to death when Jesus stated he was the Messiah. So we see that the Jews correctly assessed that Jesus had been claiming to be the Christ, and that Jesus indeed said he was the Christ, and also that the Jews thought his claim was worthy of the death penalty.
