After digging into the Scriptures and combing through commentaries, it's never been more crystal clear to me that TYD is biblically unfounded. There's no special "believers-only" condemnation after this life. I'm excited to deconstruct TYD further.

That was an
excellent and simple presentation of the Matthew 8:10-12 passage! I think the point is clearly made here that "the sons of the kingdom" who will be "thrown into outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth" are the disbelieving Jews. Thank you!
This topic had been discussed on a forum thread last year (I think) and my takeaway was the whole TYD of WL was not well founded, and this passage in Matthew 8 couldn't be clearer. WL advocated rewards and severe punishment (outer darkness) for believers, but my thinking is it is more about rewards or the loss thereof related to our works (not connected to eternal salvation) rather than "punishment." I assume you will also be touching on the matter of rewards and potential loss for believers, right?
