The CI-123

Here are 123 texts from Genesis to Revelation that support Conditional Immortality, the teaching that only believers in Christ receive eternal life. 

These verses reveal the "soul" can and will die and be destroyed, the penalty for sin is death, the nature of God's judgment and justice of His jurisprudence, that eternal life is the gift of God Who only has immortality, and that the final fate for unbelievers is the everlasting punishment of everlasting destruction - to perish in the second death in a fire that consumes.

A Most Rare Rendering: Adding "Away" to "From" for "Apo"

Don’t take Triscuit to Greek class.  Take country ham biscuits, or homemade brownies, but not Triscuit. As detailed in “From the Presence of the Lord,” chapter twenty-four of my book Wholly Smoke - The Myth of Endless Torment , traditionalists maintain that the punishment of “everlasting destruction” in 2 Thessalonians 1:9 is eternal separation from God in conscious torment. That's their interpretation, and it conveniently and curiously became an influential translation.  “ Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power” smack dab in the middle of the Lord’s coming with "mighty angels in flaming fire taking vengeance… in that day” is deemed parenthetical (meaning the actual punishment does not happen at the event described, but, say they, after and away). In the text (1:7-10), the phrases “ when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven” and “ when he shall come” tower like Big Ben keeping time over the Thames...

A Most Popular Rewording: John, Billy, and the Legacy of Lausanne

  Now, for the damage done.  “I think that hell essentially is separation from God forever,” Billy Graham said in 1983.  “And that is the worst hell that I can think of.”   Ten years later the legendary evangelist doubled down: “The only thing I could say for sure is that hell means separatio n from God.” The only thing? Graham had helped organize the historic International Congress on World Evangelization in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1974, where around 2500 attendees signed “the Lausanne Covenant,” a compelling document intended to unite evangelicals in reaching the globe with the gospel of Christ. For many, the Covenant became both a call to mission and statement of faith. The only thing it said for sure on the final fate of the lost was that “ those who reject Christ repudiate the joy of salvation and condemn themselves to eternal separation from God. ”  This relatively mild wording was drafted by a presumed traditionalist but covert annihilationist.  Mo...
