November 25, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 2 Pet 3:9, Apollumi, Luke 13:3, Perish
In my book The Ten Most Misunderstood Words in the Bible, I discuss the word lost, from the Greek word apollumi. The NKJV translates it as lost thirteen times. However, it is translated as perish more than twice as often (twenty-nine times) and is translated as destroy/destroyed twice as often (twenty-six times). Other translations include ruined–three times, lose–fourteen times, and die–once.  In Ten Words, I demonstrated that apollumi refers to eternal condemnation only 10% of the time.

Unless You Repent You Will All Likewise Perish (Luke 13:3, 5)

December 14, 2018 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 5; Unless you repent, Luke 13:3, you will all likewise perish; Repentance and perishing.

Then about a dozen years later, I changed my understanding of repentance, and of the passage we discuss in this blog. This chapter is drawn from one of the proposed chapters for this upcoming book.
