"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life." (John 3:16)
"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand." (John 10:27-28)
Luke 13:3 No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish as well!
Thessalonians 2:10 and with every unrighteous deception among those who are perishing. They perish because they did not accept the love of the truth in order to be saved.
I am having a discussion with some Christians in my Bible study class who say that Perish/perishing could mean:
" disconnectedness from God while we are alive here on earth and how sad and lonely that can be."
or,
"If my heart is empty and dead… Then I need God to live fully in my heart and I have a new heart"
What do you guys think "perish/perishing" means in context?
I put this in Biblical Languages because I thought maybe the Greek would say what perish means.
Thanks.
