   Watchtower Heretic James  wrote:   
   ========================================   
      
   Since below, selective memory heretic James pretends like he doesn't   
   know what I'm talking about, note the subject here:   
      
   >>>> The text itself explains olam as “as long as he lives.”   
   >>>>   
   >>>>        “And he shall be your slave forever [olam]” (Deuteronomy 15:17,   
   >>>>         ESV).   
   >>>>   
   >>>> Again, lifelong service, not endless existence.   
      
      
   Here we have an example which shows that with regard to creatures and   
   creation, "olam" does not necessitate a never ending period of time.   
   "Forever" (olam) means for as long as he lives, not for a never ending   
   period of time.   
      
      
   >>> Don't you know that "forever" can also mean eternally.   
      
      
   Now James is changing the subject. Instead of just admitting olam does   
   not indicate a never-ending period of time with regard to the creature   
   and creation (he didn't like what those passages showed, evidently), he   
   now tries to change the focus to how the word describes the attributes   
   of God Himself.   
      
      
   >>> -- Living Bible   
   >>> Revelation 1:6  He has gathered us into his Kingdom and made us   
   >>> priests of God his Father. Give to him everlasting glory! He rules   
   >>> forever! Amen!   
   >>>   
   >>> -- William's NewTestament   
   >>> Revelation 5:13  Then I heard every creature in heaven, on earth,   
   >>> underneath the earth, and on the sea, and all that they contain, say:   
   >>> "Blessing, honor, glory, and power be to Him who is seated on the   
   >>> throne and to the Lamb forever."   
   >>>   
   >>> -- New King James   
   >>> 1 Peter 1:25  but the word of the Lord endures forever.'' Now this is   
   >>> the word which by the gospel was preached to you.   
   >>>   
   >>> Yes, depending upon the context, we can see which way to go.   
      
      
   Which is why you had to CHANGE THE CONTEXT from CREATION AND CREATURES   
   to GOD HIMSELF. Get it now?   
      
      
   >> Which is why you had to switch topics from the original heavens and   
   >> earth to God Himself.   
      
   > I have no idea what you are talking about.   
      
      
   See above.   
      
   --   
   Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (†), and God   
   raised Him from the dead?   
      
   That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death   
   penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death   
   satisfied God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John   
   2:1-2). This means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your   
   sins, and saving you from eternal damnation.   
      
   On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on   
   the name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name   
   of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).
