   alt of bibliophile
   • > Where in the Bible does it say the soul is immortal? Or that > suffering is eternal? Not being a Bibliophile these many years, I don't really know where it says the soul is immortal.

   • I'm not a Bibliophile, but I'm curious about something. You say that NT [New Testament] was translated from Greek to English. But, the Greeks had to at least do translations from x (Hebrew?) to Greek. You don't mean that Paul and Friends spoke Greek, do you? 1996 September 4, //, “Creationists prohibit GOD from using HIS method !?”, in alt.catastrophism (Usenet), archived from the original on 07 Feb 2026:
