The following appendices offer further discussion of specific issues that have been more briefly touched upon in the main text:

Nyem qhov no kom rov qab mus rau Ntuj txiag teb tsaus los yog Ntuj Ceeb Tsheej Them, los yog ntawm ib qho ntawm cov ntsiab lus hauv qab no:

• Cov ntawv ntxiv A – Ntev npaum li cas yog Aeon?

  'Aeon,' los yog 'Eon,’ yog ib tug txhais lus Hebrew, 'olam'; lub ntsiab lus tseem ceeb ntawm uas yog 'lub sijhawm tsis paub txog yav dhau los lossis yav tom ntej' lossis 'nyob rau hauv perpetuity.' Thiab qhov no yog qhov kev nkag siab uas nws tau siv thoob plaws hauv Phau Qub.; nrog rau qhov ua tau tshwj xeeb ntawm ob peb cov ntawv hauv lub xeem O.T. phau ntawv yuav tsum tau sau. Tab sis tom qab Rabbic kev sib tham thiab liturgy, yos los ntawm nruab nrab lossis lig Lub Tuam Tsev thib Ob (c.300 BC los yog tom qab ntawd), nws pib siv nyob rau hauv lub siab ntawm 'hnub nyoog' los yog 'lub ntiaj teb',

  Peb tawm tsam los tuav lub tswv yim ntawm lub sijhawm tsis kawg; txawm thaum pom peb tus kheej yuam kom lees tias, rau Vajtswv, qhov no yuav tsum yog ib qho inevitable nam ntawm nws xwm. Lub zeem muag ntawm kev zoo siab uas tsis muaj qhov xaus yog qhov zoo heev: tab sis kev sib tham, nrog tsis muaj kev cia siab ntawm kev pab, suab phem heev uas peb instinctively tawm tsam xws li lub tswv yim. Raws li cov lus Askiv 'aeon' muab los ntawm Greek 'aion’ (lub ntsiab lus uas tau hloov ntau lub sijhawm) ntau tus neeg tawm tswv yim nyiam nyiam cov kev txhais lus uas downplay qhov tseem ceeb nyob mus ib txhis ntawm 'olam’ los yog lwm yam nws cov koom haum rau txim.

  Lo lus nug uas txhawj xeeb peb ntawm no yog yuav ua li cas cov kev hloov maj mam hloov hauv kev siv lo lus yuav tsum cuam tshuam rau peb txoj kev nkag siab ntawm Phau Tshiab cov ntawv.

• Daim ntawv ntxiv B – Buck nres qhov twg?

  Peb nyob hauv lub ntiaj teb uas nyuaj heev peb tsuas yog kwv yees qhov tshwm sim ntawm peb qhov kev ua. Thiab thaum peb xav txog qhov muaj peev xwm ntawm kev sib txuas ntawm cov xwm txheej tsis xaus, ncab ntawm tam sim no mus ib txhis, peb pib paub txog qhov muaj peev xwm ntawm kev lav phib xaub tsis txwv rau qhov kev puas tsuaj loj ntawm qhov yuav tshwm sim rau peb, thaum lub sijhawm, ua me me ntawm kev tsis saib xyuas lossis kev nyiam tus kheej.

  Tau ntsib nrog qhov ua tau, tej zaum peb yuav tsis nyiam instant kev puas tsuaj? Tab sis nws puas yuav ua tau rau ib tug neeg los ua rau qhov mob thiab kev txom nyem rau lwm tus, thiab tom qab ntawd tso tseg lub neej no yam tsis tau ntsib qhov tshwm sim? Qhov ntawd puas yog 'kev ncaj ncees'?

  Yog li ntawd lub puck nres qhov twg thiab yuav ua li cas peb thiaj nrhiav tau txoj kev ywj pheej los ntawm lub txim uas peb tsim nyog thiab peb cov keeb kwm ntawm kev txhaum? Ntawm tus ntoo khaub lig! Qhov no yog lub ntsiab lus uas Vajtswv, nyob rau hauv tus neeg ntawm Yexus, raug coj raws li Nws tus kheej lub luag haujlwm kawg thiab tau nyiaj dhau los rau txhua qhov kev phem uas tau ua dhau los. Qhov no tsuas yog qhov chaw uas txhua tus raug txim, txhua tus tuaj yeem zam txim tau; thiab tsis muaj leej twg tuaj yeem sawv hauv kev txiav txim rau lwm tus.

• Daim ntawv ntxiv C – Yog Tuag Mus Ib Txhis?

  We all know that normal human death usually takes time, and the degree of suffering involved may vary considerably. Tiamsis Yexus’ teaching is founded on the revelation that bodily death is not the end; and that all who die will ultimately face God’s judgement. At that point it will be determined whether a person will be admitted to God’s heavenly kingdom, the beauty of which will be beyond imagination.

  Tab sis, for those who are not, there will come the shocking realization that they have wasted their life seeking their own fulfilment, tsuas yog tam sim no poob nws tag nrho thiab raug txwv mus ib txhis los saum ntuj ceeb tsheej. These will be condemned to ‘Outer Darkness’ in the ‘Lake of Fire’; also known as the ‘Second Death’. The Lake of Fire will continue to exist as a permanent memorial to the effect of evil. ‘The Devil and his angels’ will suffer there for ever. So also will those humans who deliberately sided with ‘the Beast’ against God in the final years of his reign. But for the rest of sinful humanity their fate is described as ‘destruction.’ How complete that will be and how long it will take is not defined. But is it is not reasonable to expect that its duration or intensity will depend on the suffering they themselves have caused?

• Daim ntawv ntxiv D – Kev txhaum Unforgivable

  Txawm tsis tshua tham nrog cov ntseeg, Dab Ntxwg Nyoog nyiam ua rau peb lub siab nrog kev ntshai ntawd, nyob rau hauv ib txoj kev, peb tau ua txhaum ntawm 'kev txhaum uas tsis tau zam txim'; thiab yog li ntawd mus ib txhis rau txim rau ntuj raug txim. Ntau, suav nrog cov txiv neej thiab poj niam ntawm Vajtswv, xws li John Bunyan (ntawm 'Pilgrims Progress' koob meej) zoo li novice Christians (xws li kuv tus kheej) tau poob foul ntawm no tshwj xeeb ntxiab; uas muaj peev xwm manifest nyob rau hauv ntau yam disguises rau snare cov kev sib tw lub siab, tus carelessly over-confident thiab tag nrho cov nyob nruab nrab.

  Dab Ntxwg Nyoog yog tus kws tshaj lij tshaj plaws hauv kev siv thiab rhuav tshem Vajtswv Txojlus. Nws txoj kev nyiam tshaj plaws yog kom tsis txhob hais lus tsis raug thiab ua yuam kev txawm tias qhov tseeb hais los ntawm Vajtswv nws tus kheej; tsis txhob hais cov lus hais los ntawm Vajtswv cov txiv neej thiab cov poj niam uas tsuas yog ua tsis tiav qhov lawv tau hnov ​​los ntawm Vajtswv. He is devious and determined; whereas peb feem ntau muaj kev cuam tshuam rau nws hem thiab deceptions. Tiamsis peb tsis tas yuav nyob hauv kev ntshai tias peb yuav poob vim peb qaug zog lossis tsis muaj kev ntseeg. Tag nrho Trinity – Txiv, Leej Tub thiab Vaj Ntsuj Plig Dawb Huv – tau cog lus tias yuav pom peb mus txog thaum kawg.

  Yog peb lees peb tej kev txhaum, nws ncaj ncees thiab ncaj ncees zam txim rau peb tej kev txhaum, thiab ntxuav peb ntawm txhua yam kev tsis ncaj ncees. (1 John 1:9)
