Damnation
DAMNATION
The state of being excluded from God’s mercy, and condemned to the everlasting punishment of the wicked. This is now the sense of the word damnation, in our language; but at the time when the Bible was translated, it signified the same as condemnation. The words damn and damnation ought therefore be still so understood, in such passages as 1Ch 13:2 14:23 1Co 11:29.

DAMNATION
Condemnation. This word is used to denote the final loss of the soul; but it is not always to be understood in this sense in the sacred Scripture. Thus it is said in Rom 13:2. “They that resist shall receive to themselves damnation, ” 1:e. condemnaion, “from the rulers, who are not a terror to good works, but to the evil.” Again, in 1Co 11:29. “He that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself;” 1: e. condemnation; exposes himself to severe temporal judgments from God, and to the judgment and censure of the wise and good. Again, Rom 14:23. “He that doubteth is damned if he eat;” 1:e. is condemned both by his own conscience, and the word of God, because he is far from being satisified that he is right in so doing.

Damnation
in Rom. 13:2, means “condemnation,” which comes on those who withstand God’s ordinance of magistracy. This sentence of condemnation comes not from the magistrate, but from God, whose authority is thus resisted.
In 1 Cor. 11:29 (R.V., “judgment”) this word means condemnation, in the sense of exposure to severe temporal judgements from God, as the following verse explains.
In Rom. 14:23 the word “damned” means “condemned” by one’s own conscience, as well as by the Word of God. The apostle shows here that many things which are lawful are not expedient; and that in using our Christian liberty the question should not simply be, Is this course I follow lawful? but also, Can I follow it without doing injury to the spiritual interests of a brother in Christ? He that “doubteth”, i.e., is not clear in his conscience as to “meats”, will violate his conscience “if he eat,” and in eating is condemned; and thus one ought not so to use his liberty as to lead one who is “weak” to bring upon himself this condemnation.

Damnation
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.
