Why didn't Jesus just say so?
You intention to read to the end of the article is good. Let me know how you do.
Jesus absolutely did say so. He said you won’t be forgiven in this lifetime or in the next. In the rest of the Bible, Christ only ever refers to two separate ages, this one and the next. If you won’t be forgiven in either lifetime, that means “ever” by definition.
I will read to the end of the article. However, it will take some time to research and consider each scripture reference. Therefore, I can only address one at a time. I do appreciate hearing your view and the chance to answer your questions on mine.
Blessings!
