WAT ? U completely twisting scripture and still ignoring other passages which prove u wrong.

"And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever" Revelation 20:10

"Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels" Matthew 25:41

DOES THIS SAY THEY WILL CEASE TO EXIST ? Come on guy they will suffer for all eternity , u can't be serious with ur interpretation.

Revelation 21:4 huh

Let's read the context shall we :

He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. 8 BUT the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liarsthey will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur, THIS IS THE SECOND DEATH.” Revelation 21: 4-8

Obviously the above passage proves ur interpretation is completely incorrect.
Dont just say wat ? Explain Rev 20:14 " death was casted into the Lake Of Fire" , death was also casted into the fiery lake of burnig sulphur , what does it mean ?

A) death will be burning forever in the fiery lake .
Or

B) death will cease to exist .

DON'T PICK TRANSLATIONS !

ERV- "David knew this before it happened. That is why he said this about that future king: ‘He was not left in the place of death. His body did not rot in the grave.’ David was talking about the Messiah rising from death"


NLT- "David was looking into the future and speaking of the Messiah’s resurrection. He was saying that God would not leave him among the dead or allow his body to rot in the grave"

NIV "Seeing what was to come, he spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that he was not abandoned to the realm of the dead, nor did his body see decay"

Hades is the greek translation from the hebrew word Sheol which refers to the place where the dead goes.
Is HELL a wrong translation ?

Guy I was only referring to that passage in revelations , also evens IF my interpretation is completely wrong it still doesn't support ur view that death means non-existence.

Since the bible says many times evil people will suffer in hell.
^ Did Jesus suffer in hell ?

^ Is Jesus an evil person ? Act 2:31

Bro if ur definition of wat death is , is true then that means the wicked won't suffer since they will cease to exist.
Life is a gift , death is a purnishment ( romans 6:23) .

" the wicked will die ... They will vanish like smoke " Psalm 37:20

2nd I shown u a passage wer it says we were dead ( evens tho we were still breathing )
but christ made us alive.
Is that not Spiritual Death ?

Also if revelation 2nd death and suffering is not to be taken literally , plz tell wat does it mean according to u ?
Death was cast into the lake of fire - rev 20:14 , Scripture Explains that it doesnt mean a literal death is suffering in fire , it simply means " death will Cease to exist" Rev 21:4

As I said the book of Revelation is full of imagery.

Are u telling me everywhere the bible said people will suffer in hell is just symbolic even tho there are clear statements from jesus that hell is a real place.

Either way u look at it my interpretation is clearly far more reasonable than any of urs, since the book of Revelation is not the only time the bible says evildoers will suffer in the flames.
The bible never use HELL to represent evildoers . Infact, good people are said to be in hell . Act 2:31 ... Re you saying Jesus is an evildoer ? If no ! Ur interprettion of hell representing evildoer is completely wrong !!

I no wat "weynenu" means but its still does not support her argument, cuz she claim the psalm is sayin that death means to cease to exist but she wrong cuz if that were true then the psalm wud be contradicting itself by sayin the righteous will be forever since the righteous will also die.
You err , dont you know Its a prophecy ? The wicked will be no more , nd the righteous will live forever on earth .

Simple .

U keep making a fool of urself grin

" the wicked will be no more"

MizJanet- means after death they no longer exist meaning death means to cease to exist.

If this meant that the wicked will no longer exist after death u have a problem since the same psalm say the righteous will dwell in the land 4eva , BUT WE NO DEATH COMES TO ALL.

The same psalm says :

"Turn from evil and do good;
    then you will dwell in the land forever"

Does this mean the wicked will exist forever if they repent? For that to be true that wud mean no1 dies since u said death means to cease to exist but since the wicked can repent they can exist 4eva

Hahahaha grin again showing hw pathetic and false ur interpretation of " the wicked will be no more"

Again the bible proves u wrong and shows death does not mean cease to exist.
Remove your pride bro , check the hebrew word rendered "no more " and you will see that she is right !

Brother it says the body is dead without the spirit.

U have a spirit in ur body currently right?

So wen is the moment u die? It occurs wen the spirit is no longer in the body and wat does that mean, it means it must separate from ur body.
Body is dead if it doesnt have spirit (breath) , body is dead , what is the condition of a dead body ?

Richirich713:
As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead." James 2:26

Only way this could happen is if the spirit separates from the body.


Also is spiritual death :

"As for you, you were DEAD in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to LIVE when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, [b]made us ALIVE with Christ even when we were DEAD
Brother , None of this said death is separation of soul and body .

You are yet to produce that scripture .

@ underlined ... Spirit in that context is in our nostrils , our breath ( job 27:3 ) , even animals hve it in their body .

I'm sure cuz it's obvious that the bible teaches the wicked will suffer in hell for all eternity.
It didnt ! Instead It said hell will be cast into the lake of fire , and i ask ; do you agree that hell will be burned in the lake of fire to suffer for all eternity ?


And I'm pretty sure Hades and hell represents evildoers since the book of Revelation is full of symbolism and imagery.
How did you arrive at this interpretation ? shocked shocked[/quote]
Christianity EtcRe: "God Cannot Be Tempted. Jesus Was Tempted. Therefore, Jesus Cannot Be God". How? by CANTICLES: 8:44pm On Oct 24, 2015
@ richirich713

Sheol is a place of inactivity ( psalm 115:17 ; pslm 6:5 , ecclesistes 9:4-6 , 10 ) , even Jesus went there .


- how can death and HELL represent those whose names are not in the book of life ?

Rev 20:14" and death and HELL are cast into the lake of fire" . Hell itself was cast into the lake of fire , then this mean hell will suffer forever in the lake of fire ?

If you call it symbolism , how then are we sure that the lake of fire itself in which HELL is thrown is not symbolic ?

Erm u one contradicting scriptures grin , u believe deaths means to cease to exist but in Revelation the 2nd death clearly does not say that , cuz we no those who experience the 2nd death will suffer for all eternity meaning they still exist.

U CAN'T SUFFER AND NOT EXIST, SO DEATH DOES NOT MEAN TO CEASE TO EXIST.

U MUST EXIST IN ORDER TO SUFFER.
Bro , death suffers the second death and yet we are LATER told that it cease to exist ? Can you throw light on this Revelation 20:14 ; 21:4

I never said they will suffer after the 1st death,
Bro , where do people go after the first death ?

I said the 2nd death. U claim death means to cease to exist but the 2nd death proves u wrong due to the fact people will suffer after it.

The point is "death" does not mean what u claim means .

Cuz If it meant what u claim then people wud not suffer after the 2nd death.
That means HELL will also suffer after the 2nd death ? Revelation 20:14

Am waiting for your response bro

Where did I lie?


"I am going to send an angel before you, to protect you in the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. Take heed because of him, and obey his voice; do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your transgressions, for my name is in him

It look like Yahweh agrees, This angel he send has his name within him!
So what does it mean that his name his within him ? Interestingly , it didnt say he BEARS my name . Even the angel , Jesus didnt agree with your blin'd assumption

" our father in heaven , let YOUR NAME be sanctified " Matt 6:9

Jesus did not say , let OUR NAME be sanctified .

Did The Angel speak to Moses from the bush?

“Now when forty years had passed, an Angel appeared to him [/b]in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a [b]flame of fire in a bush.....

......This is he who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the Angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and with our fathers; and he received living oracles to give to us.” (Acts 7:30-38)

Here in (acts 7:30-38) Christian martyr Stephen says the Angel spoke to Moses. Again agreeing with me.
Who send the angel ?

The angel of God
[/b]said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob.’ I answered, ‘Here I am.’ And he said, ‘Look up and see that all the male goats mating with the flock are streaked, speckled or spotted, for I have seen all that Laban has been doing to you. I[b] am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar and where you made a vow to me
. Now leave this land at once and go back to your native land.’" (Genesis 31:10-13)

Here the angels say he God and that Jacob made a vow to him.

Yet (Genesis 28:10-22) says Yahweh was the one to whom Jacob made a vow to.
See the underlined , he is the MESSENGER of God !

Christianity Etc3 Questions People Would Like To Ask God !!! by CANTICLES(op): 1:20pm On Oct 07, 2015
It is not that atheists and skeptics are completely unfamiliar with religion . On the contrary , their experience with religion is often what pushes them toward disbelief. Organized religion , they my feel , has failed to answer life's tough questions ? Ironically , they are often the same questions that people who claim to have faith in God struggle with . Consider three questions that many people would like to ask God if given the chance www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/g201510/questions-to-ask-god/

I often cried all night , by age 15 , in my heart I had abandoned religion"
