Reply To: Which sins carry eternal punishment?

As a teenager I had a strange idea that I could kill people by looking at them and wishing them ill. I did not realize that my “favorite” 9th grade teacher has retired. During my 10th and 11th grades I was in a great fear.

Even though the fear was strange it did me very much good — I read most of Tanach. I felt horrified by Ahab’s fate.
