Luke 13:3, 5

How often have we heard the plea from well-meaning pastors and evangelists, “...except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish”? Does this mean that we must turn from our sin in order to be eternally saved? That is what is usually meant by the speaker, but that is not what God’s word says or means.

A Study of “Perish” in Luke 13:3, 5 - Does “likewise perish” mean that a person would be eternally lost if they did not repent? This passage does not teach that.  MS Word Doc  Adobe PDF
