John 3:16 and Eternal Torture?

I think John did a very good job. I wouldn't change it.

Why would you want to change the Bible to teach something like eternal torture?

The word 'world' is given here:

2889 kósmos (literally, "something ordered") – properly, an "ordered system" (like the universe, creation); the world.

When this is further studied, it means the original foundation which was an

orderly system, not what 'satan' and his seed did.

Jesus spoke to His own people, the Pharisees, and said they were children of

their father, the devil, so they are not 'the world'.

This is another mistranslation.

The world was never in the original 'everyone'.

Jesus said that 'no one comes to Me EXCEPT the Father draws them'.

So I would put it:

Theos so loved His own original creation (that loved Him but went astray),

that ............whosoever believeth on Jesus Christ would not be destroyed

completely (due to sin) but have life eternal.

Given that there are at least three sources of the ancient Greek for the Gospels and that there is no direct translation from ancient Greek to modern English, it is arrogant to claim that a given translation is more accurate without giving a discussion of why you think it is and providing supporting sources.

Then again, you should never "cherry pick" one or more verses from the Bible to support a particular belief, you need to consider everything that the Bible says.

Given this understanding, you really do not understand what the Bible says....

that is a robust question and fully valid. i think the question would desire to be on the topic of the question of no count if punishment in hell is everlasting torture or no longer. The Greek texts for John 3:sixteen does certainly use the Greek observe "Apollumi", that is translated as "perish" in the main English Bible translations (KJV, NIV, ASV etc). it style of feels if "Apollumi" may well be used as a metaphore for "everlasting distress in hell". possible additionally use different references in the Bible on the subject of the comparable subject count (the eternity of hell) to describe this reference, for occasion Matthew 25:40 six (ASV): "And those shall pass away into everlasting punishment: however the righteous into everlasting existence." observe that "everlasting" is used the two for "existence" and "punishment". As such, the Bible is an historic Greek writing the place the context of something of the Bible does point out that hell is everlasting and surely unsightly and removed from God and subsequently from love. Does it propose everlasting torture, of which the poor souls in hell would be consistently conscious off? i can't say that with my limited wisdom, yet i comprehend that salvation from sins and the outcomes thereof (which contain hell) is attainable by making use of grace however faith in Christ Jesus.

Eternal torture is a false doctrine, and anyone who does enough research will find that out. The second death is just that... A second death. Death is basically ceasing to exist. It's not burning forever. Satan will burn forever, but not unbelievers.

God said not to change any thing in His Word.

No, I think God got His point across all by himself.
