The original word for “destroy” there is “apollumi” which means “to lose or be lost.” This verse is not speaking of an eternal annihilation of a soul, but of a temporary losing of the soul, just like the “lost” sheep that was later found. It is the same with all the times you see Jesus speaking of someone “perishing.” Such as in John 3:16. Read the very next verse. Also death gets abolished in Revelation. "God so LOVES the world"-Concordant Literal.
You have to "receive" Jesus by choice. It's not automatic. If you become a child of God you are forgiven and freed from the Law and sin. The bible clearly states :Luk 18:17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein."Rom10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Mar16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
@Duck4212 If apollumi meant destruction according to the traditional definition then Jesus is lost forever:"But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas and DESTROY(apollumi)Jesus." Matt. 27:20Those who are “lost” or “perished,” are like the lost sheep. .The Good Shepherd does not stop looking until He has found the last one.
16for God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only begotten -- He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life (aionios)age-during.
Those who who have been GIVEN true faith in this age will be in the 1st resurrection.
The others are sleeping until the 2nd. Eventually God will be ALL IN ALL(1Cor 15:28).
@pUnKrOcKnINjAgAmEr Tell that to the Arminians and all those self-righteous people who deify "free" will. That they have nothing to boast about because you don't get it by "CHOOSING" or working hard for it. I wish you the best of luck...
I recently did a video called, "One statement that changed my life," where I state that the gospel is freedom. Freedom to sin? No, freedom to love people in spite of their sins. Quit following religion that teaches you to cast people into eternal suffering and makes this hideous act of violence equal to "mercy, love, and justice. Quit following people who tell you who you can and cannot forgive and love. The stone cold truth is we are all dead, and though we were dead, yet shall we live.
What the sheep do not realize when the pastors tell them that most will be lost, is they are really saying that the death that Adam brought in the garden is BY FAR more powerful than what Christ did at the cross. It's zero faith in Christ disguised as faith. "Oh death where is thy sting, oh grave where is thy victory," becomes, "Oh death how powerful you are, oh grave how filled you will be."
Everything is math logic. Don't be afraid to do he math.
Beautiful video Dennis. It never fails to amaze me how simple it all is...How much sense it all makes when one really has a good grasp of the bible and studies it! An all powerful God 'wants' to save all mankind. He 'can' save all mankind, so he 'will'.
Amen!....I love to use this same scripture when talking about Universal Salvation..People don't realize they are saying that what Adam did OVERCAME what Christ did for the world..He is definitely a righteous God and he still chastises and disciplines us because he does love us!..Amen...Grace can not be overcome by SIN..Keep preaching!!!
hmmmm how but mentally challenged people who does not understand Christ? hmmmmm

"saved secret" should be "sacred secret"...typo
barry.....guess both fit.....tends not to be a secret unless saved
and saved eventually and right on schedule every person will be.
Jesus ...more than an Aussie Mate ......He's the Saviour of the world John 4 :42
sent by the Father at just the right time.
It amazes me the privilege we have to declare the salvation of God in Christ.
God bless you.

Thanks mate for believing and teaching the Good News in Christ.
I can see progression in your confidence in God from when I first came across your videos
a couple of years ago..this is to the glory and praise of God.
We can do no other than what our God sets before us.
One thing in particular about this"saved secret" is the wonderful opportunity that comes with it
You are one of the luckiest{most blessed} people alive today and been given the get go
to up and preach Christ and Him crucified .

@Duck4212 I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to
anyone I choose. So receiving God's promise is not up to us. We can't
get it by "CHOOSING" it or working hard for it. God will show mercy to
anyone he chooses.Romans 9:15-16
For God has bound all men over to disobedience so that he may have mercy
on them all.Romans 11:32
God is the savior of all people,especially believers. 1Tim 4:10

John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God DID NOT send his Son into the world TO CONDEMN the world, BUT TO SAVE THE WORLD through Him.
Romans 3:23-24
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, AND are justified FREELY by His GRACE through the redemption that came BY Christ Jesus.
