DoctorAlien: 47 If your eye causes you to stumble and sin, throw it out [that is, remove yourself from the source of temptation]! It would be better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, 48 where their worm [that feeds on the dead] does not die, and the fire is not put out. Mark 9:47,48 Isn't it funny, the man is annihilated but his worms are not!!! Sir, both will live through it! Immortality is not the same as Eternal Life! Now that the devil has been in operation since Genesis till now, does that mean he has Eternal Life loaned him? 1 Like 1 Share |

Scholar8200: Let us allow the Bible explain what example it is talking about: "And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly." 2 Pet. 2:6 It is now clear what the fate of sinners will be. The eternal fire which brought Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes is the fire that will exterminate sinners at the end. That in no way supports the theory of the immortality of the soul. |

Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake (resurrect), these to everlasting life, but some to disgrace and everlasting contempt (abhorrence) Daniel 12:3 Is it not strange that claim that for the one Everlasting life means just what it says while for the other Everlasting means something different? |

DoctorAlien:Since all men die, this refers not to the death of separation soul and body but separation of soul from God in judgement. Jesus tasted this death for all men when He cried out on he cross and shortly gave up the ghost: But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while [by taking on the limitations of humanity], crowned with glory and honor because of His suffering of death, so that by the grace of God [extended to sinners] He might experience death for [the sins of] everyone. Hebrews 2:9 |

Scholar8200: Sodom and Gomorrah burned with eternal fire. Are they still burning today? Check 2 Pet. 2:6. The eternal fire that will burn the wicked is a fire that will not be put out till it completes its work of total and complete annihilation of sin, sinners and the devil. 1 Like |

DoctorAlien:The inhabitants are still burning today. The word Eternal means exactly what it connotes: Everlasting http://biblehub.com/strongs/greek/166.htm
and if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing them to ashes, having made them an example to those who would live ungodly lives thereafter; 2 Peter 2:6 This place makes no mention of Eternal fire that's because the burning down of the city (physical structures) to ashes is emphasized, just as we may say Noah's flood destroyed the world then but was that the end of the souls that were destroyed? NO 19 in which He also went and preached to the spirits now in prison, 20 who once were disobedient, when the great patience of God was waiting in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons [Noah’s family], were brought safely through the water. 1 Peter 3:19,20 (The means and purpose of that preaching was of course not for salvation) That prison,is the bottomless pit aka Hell Revelations 9:2,3,11 |

DoctorAlien:41 “Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Leave Me, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels (demons); 46 Then these [unbelieving people] will go away into eternal (unending) punishment, but those who are righteous and in right standing with God [will go, by His remarkable grace] into eternal (unending) life.” Matthew 25:41,46 Eternal-Unending.

Scholar8200:do you now admit Heb 2:14 prove Satan will be destroyed ? thats the point
suggests that ? so u know
only Jesus the Lord of lords and King of kings is given immortality among the host of spirit angelic beings { 1 tim 3:16 } therefore they can die , they are not immortal , infact Satan will be brought to nothing.
the greek word KOLASIn in this verse denotes " cutting off " , so its very clear that the wicked will be cut off from life , while the righteous receive everlasting life . John 3:16 " that everyone putting faith in him might not be DESTROYED but have everlasting life " plain and simple, its either everlasting life or " everlasting destruction" 2 the 1:9
oga, if the beast SYMBOLIZE the antichrist , then how can a symbolic beast be thrown into a literal Lake of fire ?
but the verse said , which is the second DEATH. destruction. dont forget that the GRAVE will also be casted into this same Lake of fire ? those in Rev 21:8 have the same end with Grave , does it mean Grave will be burned forever too ?
already explained!
the point is clear, its torment is explained as Destruction are death and Grave personalities too, so what happen to them in the Lake of fire ?
good you are now reasoning , if u take it literal it means Lazarus was carried to the chest of Abraham himself . @ Gen 16:5 , its clear that the bossom of Abraham is the bossom of the man Abraham . |

Scholar8200: Does the Bible teach that the soul is an entity separate from the body? "And the LORD GOD formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul" When GOD finished creating man, he was just a structure of dust. The soul had not come into existence. Then GOD breathed into his nostrils, and man became a living soul. Therefore, the body plus the breath of life is the soul. Note also that the Bible says man "became" a living soul. It did not say man "had" a living soul. Therefore, the teaching that the soul is a separate entity in man is unbiblical. 2 Likes |

DoctorAlien:What meaneth this: 28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; but rather be afraid of Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28 If you are right, it should mean that he that kills the body has killed the soul too!!! Read and discern: For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as [b]the division of the [c]soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart.

CANTICLES:NO! Interesting! So, who are the highlighted: in which He also went and preached to the spirits now in prison, 20 who once were disobedient, when the great patience of God was waiting in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons [Noah’s family], were brought safely through the water. 1 Peter 3:19,20 and [a]For if God did not [even] spare angels that sinned, but threw them into [b]hell and sent them to pits of gloom to be kept [there] for judgment; 2 Peter 2:4 you are WRONG!!! http://biblehub.com/strongs/greek/2851.htm tells me kolasis means punishment, torment. Mind showing us your Greek source for the meaning of that word? Beast=Antichrist=Person; that Person (who has all those titles) is the one that will be thrown into the lake of fire. Yes, but not the death of separation of soul from body! YES! quote it here then. Revelations is silent on that, I will be too. Those that were mentioned as personalities-devil, beast, false prophet, sinners- will be tormented therein. Why not run to the Greek like you did above? Why stay with the translation in English perhaps because that one favours you. |

DoctorAlien: 29 and they will come out—those who did good things [will come out] to a resurrection of [new] life, but those who did evil things [will come out] to a resurrection of judgment [that is, to be sentenced]. John 5:29 Paul explains further thus: 9 There will be tribulation and anguish [torturing confinement] for every human soul who does [or permits] evil, to the Jew first and also to the Greek, 10 but glory and honor and inner peace [will be given] to everyone who habitually does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

CANTICLES:Here is what I find: From naphash; properly, a breathing creature, i.e. Animal of (abstractly) vitality; used very widely in a literal, accommodated or figurative sense (bodily or mental) -- any, appetite, beast, body, breath, creature, X dead(-ly), desire, X (dis-)contented, X fish, ghost, + greedy, he, heart(-y), (hath, X jeopardy of) life (X in jeopardy), lust, man, me, mind, mortally, one, own, person, pleasure, (her-, him-, my-, thy-)self, them (your)-selves, + slay, soul, + tablet, they, thing, (X she) will, X would have it STrong's concordance That's easy! Was Adam a lifeless corpse after God created him? What about the fishes and birds and animals who were without that Divine operation? Where they not alive? When God said that if Adam eat the forbidden fruit, he will die. Did Adam drop dead? Or was Satan right when he said,"thou shall not die"? NO They died immediately(not separation of soul from body)- they lost that Divine Breath by which they were Illuminated with the Life of God. |

DoctorAlien:Yeah, sure. Now let's see further the experience of Paul: I know a [a]man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, [only] God knows—such a man was caught up to the third heaven. 3 And I know that such a man—[b]whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, [only] God knows— 4 was caught up into [c]Paradise and heard inexpressible words which man is not permitted to speak [words too sacred to tell] 2 Corinth 12:2-4 Now it takes one who knows the separability of soul and body to so speak (remember this was Inspired). |

Scholar8200: Christ, through the Holy Spirit in Noah preached to and pleaded with men when Noah was building the ark. Note the bolded part in the text above. The preaching happened during the building of the ark. It does not in any way imply that those souls are still alive today. Also, the word "now" as bolded above does not appear in the King James Version. It only appears in the NASB and the NAS1977 versions. All these versions were translated from the KJV. KJV reads: "By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;" 1 Pet. 3:19. The spirits were in the prison of sin, not in a physical prison. 1 Like |

Besides, where does the Bible describe man as spirits or sinners as spirits in prison?} 20 which sometime were disobedient{past tense}, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah{long time ago. Besides, why use a proper noun here having used a pronoun before if both referred to the same person?}, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 1 Peter 3:19,20 (commentaries mine). |
