[Siobhan]

Your emphasis of "as" is not in the Amplified, and you are mistaken to stress it because it is not stressed so in either the Amplified or the Greek.

[Siobhan]

So long for now and God's angels attend you this night.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Yes, I know I stressed the "as". I was trying to show that to stress that as I read it it is saying "as if" by fire. Meaning he esaceped fire. One of the words you gave in explaination to Mack was "from", That is how I see it, when you study it along with the rest of God's Word, not just taking one verse by itself. Add the Heb. verses I quoted and things get alot clearer. I notice no one has commented on the Perfected Forever verse:)
