First of all, if ED were to be true, why did Paul say death will be destroyed and that the sting of death and Sheol will be nothing? If people will die permanently, then Death will be victorious, not Christ.

All men will come to to knowledge of the truth, they will all bow and confess that Jesus is Lord, and anyone who believes in Jesus will have eonian life. Crystal clear.  :2c:
Micah 7:7

But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.

John 15:5

I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

Sure, it's crystal clear to us - but most folks never put it together, never connect the dots.
Socrates taught Plato.  Plato taught Aristotle.  Aristotle tutored the son of Philip of Macedon.  This boy grew up to become Alexander the Great, largely by slaughtering a lot of people.  That's philosophy.

Jesus spoke the Truth.  He blessed the poor.  He healed the sick.  He even raised the dead.  He died on a cross for us, lived again, and came back long enough to tell us to love one another.  That's religion.

YHVH = Behold the Nail, Behold the Hand = Jesus

That's because most people never really study the scriptures.  They get all the knowledge they get from Sunday school teachers, the Sunday pulpit message, and daily devotion books (and fewer still even have daily devotions).  Of course they don't connect the dots - they can't.  Most don't even know there are dots to connect. :laughing7:  They think everything is fine with their life because they go to church.  They have a form of Godliness, but deny his power.  They think they are following the Christ, but they are only following materialism and self-will.  That defines a significant portion of the "church" today.  If I had to guess at the percentage of church people who are thus defined - I would say 90%. :sigh:  Gees, I hope that doesn't sound judgmental  :footmouth: - I don't mean it that way.
