The translators, in some verses with no time word in them at all, they added for ever, etc. And other verses with a time reference (word) they left it out!
And the only way for us to know that is to check out the interlinear. But imagine all the centuries believers, the common person, couldn't do that..
Put time in when it wasn't there, and in other verses left time out that was there. But I don't think anyone did it on purpose! But is just due to misunderstanding and perception. I mean one can only translate as they are able to see things.. (I think!)
Those systems created - by king and priest collusion to keep the ppl in line.. it's brainwashing that went pretty deep..

Marie, I remember that in writing my book, I came upon that sort of issue. I didn't really throw my full weight into the forever/not forever issue, but I did for "sheol" rendered as "grave/pit" or "hell." What I found was that the mis-translators inserted "hell" where they could, context allowing. When context clearly did not allow, they went with '"grave" or "pit." However, they were not entirely consistent.
Yes, it really is a hoot.
:thumbsup: almost entirely inconsistant! :laughing7:
