"...the Bible says that all death will be done away with, which is called the "second death". That makes NO sense to me. Death does away with death...?
In Revelation 20 is is saying that at the time of Judgement hell and death will be cast into the lake of fire not that death is not being done away with by death. Death is down away with when it is put into the lake of fire at the time of the great white throne judgement.

Faith is for unsaved every man not just Christianity. After one has received the seal of the Holy Spirit then other types of Faith for the believer begin to take place.

Christianity is a faith for believers, you think you understand but you don’t
I can’t help you
You are clueless and blind, it’s not an attack, it’s a simple comment based on your argument

Hey,
I'm a Christian.
No wonder I am clueless and blind.
I made no argument, I pointed out an observation that got so far under your skin that you start speaking in tongues.
The truth usually burns one like that, especially those that are so deceived.
Again God bless you for enlightening readers such as myself.
Sorry if you think the 10 commandments handed to Moses after Israel’s escape from Egypt, if you think Jesus died so you had to still live under the Mosaic laws, you know, no pork, most seafood, circumcission, wearing mixed blended clothing, not working sundays, what ever else you are subjected to, if you think you still have to live like a Jew then it’s on you, not me
To be a Christian you have to do significantly more than say you are, be warned
be warned

I really do hope my beliefs are true and really do pray for lost souls such as yourself.
Did you not complain about me pointing out the 10 commandments we’re not relevant to christians, biblically, my bad understanding?
Was that someone else or was that just a general moan from you a couple of pages ago at everything I say, thinking it was you... but it was... just you trying to defend someone else
Not sure if you are what you say you are but saying my soul is lost, that’s interesting
Tell me inhale, do christians need to abide by the 10 commandments, yes or no?
One wouldn’t condemn a murderer but one would me?
I strike fear, I don’t preach eternal hell like many, probably like you, do you believe in eternal hell for humanity?
I don’t preach fear, not what I have done as a raggedy man, check my previous comments.
No fear of the dark, in my opinion if someone doesn’t accept Christ then it’s condemnation then destruction, not everlasting pain
Finally the link i posted means nothing to you because you can’t understand it
Maybe it’s me, funny I have to defend every word I say on ats or maybe it’s you, but no, you are perfect, you have to be, Gods golden child

The only difference then between you and I is I accept all of God's words to be inspired, true, without error and for our learning.

Are you saying that you cannot understand what you call "the archaic" version? The AV1611 is a good translation. Not one person on any of the three translation committees ever made it a point to please the King. You must understand he did not get up one day and say I want a new Bible translation. No, he was being pressured by the Christian sects of his day saying that they needed a complete bible in English. So he complied and set up the three committees in three different locations to translate the sections of the bible given them to translate. The king was an educated person and he would read each groups translated text at certain times and only gave his approval once that translation was finished. The groups were made of of Puritans and Anglicans. Did it ever occur to you that JP Green had dirty hands of his own when he wrote?

It is still just an opinion I have not found anywhere in the historical writings of the translators that they would put their sects theology ahead of the translation. But remember Biblical theology is found in scriptures.
The AV 1611 translators Italicized all the words they added to the text to make in clear and readable in English. No other Translation in English has put the words they added in Italics which makes if difficult for the reader to identify which words were added and which were not. This allows the words of men to be equal to the words of God and brings a threefold curse on them for violation the three warnings about adding to the word of God. That is why the AV 1611 translators Italicized so they were accountable to men and God for what they added.
Anywhere, the Translators of the AV 1611 could not unanimously decide to translate a word they Transliterated e.g in Isa 14:12 the name Lucifer was kept and not translated. Almost every new version in English since 1830 has chose to translate it make Jesus and Lucifer equals, hence the LDS doctrine that they were brothers in heaven.

The only issue then is you believe God could not keep his word to preserve his word to every generation forever. If you want to see how having convictions of opinions , just look to the left. AOC was fully convicted but it was in her opinion on what was going on and not what actually was going on. You see, an opinion not rooted in fact, no matter how convicted a person feels about that opinion, doesn't change the fact it is an opinion not based in fact.
