INTRODUCTION to Safeguarding Episodes

"Paul told us:  "charge them before God to stop disputing about words. This serves no useful purpose since it harms those who listen." 2 Timothy 2:14  

Note this post from the Christian Universalism forum on Reddit:

Does our faith rest on the mistranslation of aionos?

I'm confused because this word can mean both age and eternity...

~~RESPONSE:

"No, it can't mean both. Aion is the noun, it is used when you mean "an age" as in a period of time or, more commonly, a person's specific age or time of life. It can also mean "world."

"But "aionios is an adjective, that can mean without beginning, without end, or everlasting. 

~~LET'S TAKE PAUL SERIOUSLY:

Note that the arguments about the meaning of a word diverted the poster from Christ? For this reason,  IMO, delivering well-researched, prayerful New Testament discernment is possible and desirable, under controlled circumstances. One way to bring this back to Jesus:

"We need to stop focusing on the adjective Jesus used because it doesn't matter. Jesus never said the word "hell." He never said anyone would be endlessly tormented or even temporarily tormented.

"He explained in various ways the relationship between existence incarnate and existence in the Kingdom and how those are related, and said this is the way it has always been and always will be. 

ADDITIONALLY:

There are dens of antiChrist vipers out there who make derailing God's Truth their lifework.  MAKE NO MISTAKE, THIS IS A WAR AGAINST CHIRST AND THE LOGOS, hence the name of the series.

If we don't "contend" how do we fight? I once read a stat that said for every poster there are 8 lurkers. We can answer the poster, but know our responses in faith are for the lurkers.

COMING UP IN EPISODE ONE:

~~Paul did not say ALL the writings of the modern (or any) Canon of Scripture were "God breathed." Kyrie tells us what he actually said and why it's illogical and dangerous to believe the claim.
