Those Southern Baptists are keen to call down an 'amen' on "the church’s historical teaching on the doctrine of eternal punishment of the unregenerate …" at their Phoenix conference.
That means affirming their "belief in the biblical teaching on eternal conscience punishment of the unregenerate in Hell …"
What the heck is that, a typo? Jim West is reporting it this way, and a Google cross-check indicates that Baptist Press is too.
Conscience punishment? Obviously not quite the same thing as conscious punishment. Seems to be a new heretical doctrine no one has ever heard of before, not "the church's historical teaching."
Or is it perhaps this just illustrates a variation on "why white men can't jump"; i.e. why Southern Baptists can't spell?
Those wacky, Southern Baptists. They're a caution, ain't they?
ReplyDelete....Am I the only one who doesn't get the joke? What's the punchline?
ReplyDeleteEternal conscious punishment means that you're awake and aware as you suffer eternally forever in hell. (IMHO, the most dumb-ass scare tactic of all time)
ReplyDeleteEternal conscience punishment, however, means that you'd feel really badly about something. Forever.
"Eternal conscious punishment means that you're awake and aware as you suffer eternally forever in hell."
ReplyDeleteOh.
That has to be the single most insane thing I've ever read, about professing Christianity. And I've read my fair share of insane things that professing Christians insist everyone has to believe!
Hilarious, Gavin.
