If Terri Schiavo dies, Bush's career might die with her
________________________________________________________________________________




A new poll shows that the biggest drop in Bush support is among conservative churchgoers.

There's no big surprise in this.

Conservative churchgoers are the people who put Bush back in the White House last November.
They expect Bush to deliver.

They know Bush could issue an Executive Order re Terri Schiavo.

But Bush isn't doing any such thing.
At least not so far.

If Terri Schiavo dies, Bush's career might die with her

OK, so let's take another look:

"Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of
the Lord, and from the glory of his power;" 2Thes 1:9

"Who" refers to those "that know not God and obey not the gospel" (v.8)
and which I have assumed are "the wicked."

The verse says they (the wicked) "shall be punished." This phrase is
translated from "dikEn tisousin"--literally "penalty will pay"

What penalty will the wicked pay? Ans: "everlasting destruction."

Now, taking "The wages of sin is death..." Rom 6:23

Wages means "reward", or "due payment". Those who serve sin will
receive death as due payment.

Put this together with my conclusions from 2 Thes 1:9:

The wicked will pay the penalty--everlasting destruction.
The wicked will receive death as due payment for sin.

So then (now pull me up if you think I am drawing too long a bow here):

The wicked receiving death as due payment for sin is the same as the
wicked paying the penalty--everlasting destruction.

Therefore, The due penalty (reward) for the wicked is everlasting
destruction.

The phrase "a death from which there will be no resurrection" I
extrapoloted from the expression, "everlasting destruction." Because
the destruction of the wicked will last forever, there will be no
"re-construction". They will be dead forever, with no hope of rising
again.
