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

Klik di dieu pikeun mulang ka Naraka meunang atawa Surga mayar, atawa dina sub-jejer di handap:

• Lampiran A – Sabaraha lami hiji Aeon?

  ‘Aeon,’ or ‘Eon,’ is a translation of the Hebrew word, ‘olam’; the original meaning of which was ‘an unknowably remote period in the past or future’ or ‘in perpetuity.’ And this is the sense in which it is used throughout the Old Testament; iwal mungkin saeutik pisan téks dina O.T panungtungan. buku pikeun ditulis. Tapi dina diskusi Rabbinic sareng liturgi engké, dating ti tengah atawa ahir jaman Temple Kadua (c.300SM atanapi engké), mimiti dipaké dina harti 'umur' atawa 'dunya',

  Urang bajoang pikeun nangkep konsép waktos anu teu aya tungtungna; even whilst finding ourselves forced to admit that, pikeun Gusti, ieu kudu jadi hiji aspék dilawan alam na. Prospek kabagjaan anu teu aya tungtungna disada hébat: tapi sabalikna, kalawan henteu prospek relief, sounds so awful that we instinctively resist such an idea. As the English ‘aeon’ derives from the Greek ‘aion’ (the meaning of which has varied more over time) many commentators tend to favour translations which downplay either the eternal significance of ‘olam’ or else its punitive associations.

  The question that concerns us here is how these gradual changes in word use should affect our understanding of the New Testament texts.

• Lampiran B – The Buck eureun Dimana?

  We live in a world that is so complex we can mostly only guess the consequences of our actions. And when we consider the possibility of an unending chain of events, stretching from now to eternity, we begin to realize the possibility of an unlimited liability for the devastating consequences of what may have seemed to us, dina waktos éta, to be minor acts of negligence or self-interest.

  Faced with such a possibility, might we not prefer instant annihilation? But would it be OK for someone to inflict unspeakable pain and suffering on others, teras kaluar tina kahirupan ieu tanpa kantos nyanghareupan akibat? Would that be ʻjusticeʼ?

  So where does the buck stop and how can we find freedom from the penalty we deserve and our legacy of guilt? At the cross! This is the point at which God, in the person of Jesus, formally took upon Himself the ultimate responsibility and endured the consequences for all the evil that has ever been committed. This is the only place where all are condemned, all can be forgiven; and none can stand in judgement against any other.

• Lampiran C – Nyaeta Maot Salawasna?

  We all know that normal human death usually takes time, and the degree of suffering involved may vary considerably. Tapi Yesus’ 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.

  Tapi, for those who are not, there will come the shocking realization that they have wasted their life seeking their own fulfilment, only to now lose it all and be forever barred from heaven. 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?

• Lampiran D – Dosa nu teu bisa dihampura

  Padahal jarang dibahas diantara urang Kristen, Sétan mikanyaah ngeusian haté urang ku kasieun éta, dina sababaraha cara, urang geus kaliru tina hiji 'dosa teu bisa dihampura'; sarta ku kituna salawasna dikutuk ka Naraka. loba, kaasup lalaki hébat sarta awéwé Allah, saperti John Bunyan (tina 'Pilgrims Progress' kawentar) ogé Kristen novice (saperti kuring sorangan) geus fallen foul tina bubu husus ieu; nu bisa manifest dina rupa disguises mun snare maranéhanana nurani lembut, nu carelessly over-confident jeung sakabeh jalma di antara.

  Sétan téh ahli pamungkas dina nyalahgunakeun jeung nyimpangkeun Firman Allah. Taktik karesepna nyaéta nyalahkeun kutipan sacara halus sareng salah nerapkeun bahkan kabeneran anu diucapkeun ku Gusti nyalira; teu nyebut kecap-kecap anu diucapkeun ku lalaki sareng awéwé anu saleh anu ngan ukur ngartos naon anu aranjeunna kadéngé ti Allah.. He is devious and determined; padahal urang mindeng rentan ka ancaman jeung tipu daya na. Tapi urang henteu kedah hirup sieun yén urang bakal gagal kusabab kalemahan atanapi kakurangan iman urang. Sakabeh Trinity - Bapa, Putra sareng Roh Suci - komitmen pikeun ningali urang dugi ka tungtungna.

  Upami urang ngaku dosa urang, anjeunna satia sareng soleh pikeun ngahampura kami dosa, sareng ngabersihan kami tina sagala anu teu pikaresepeun. (1 John 1:9)
