Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Annihilation / Destruction

The verse explicitly states that the things being discussed "perish with the using," implying a temporary nature or obsolescence rather than the destruction of individuals. The phrase "commandments and doctrines of men" suggests the perishing refers to the human-made rules or philosophies themselves, not the people who follow them.

Destruction / Perishing Language

The "perish" in this verse refers to the temporary nature of the things being used (food, drink, etc.), not necessarily the eternal fate of wicked individuals.
