Subjects in this Topic:
DAMNATION.—The words ‘damn,’ ‘damnable,’ and ‘damnation’ have, through their use in the literature of theology, come to express condemnation to everlasting punishment. But in the English Bible they mean no more than is now expressed by ‘condemn’ or ‘condemnation.’ In some places a better translation than ‘condemnation’ is ‘judgment,’ as in Joh_5:29 ‘the resurrection of damnation’ (Gr. krisis, RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘judgment’). See Judgment.
