So all you have to do is GET Rev 21:1 to COME BEFORE 20:11 for me to believe WHAT YOU SAY IS WHAT YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE BECAUSE as of RIGHT NOW, that is NOT TRUTH, they are just words put together to make it seem so.
Revelation 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
I am uncertain why you would think that heaven & earth passing away negates the eternal fate of God's enemies.
Heaven & earth are the natural world.
Rev 21:7 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 liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
When The Lord resurrects you, you will be a whole, immortal being. You won't be omniscient or omnipresent.

If I follow what you are saying,
you are saying GOD gives us in writing, one message, backed up in more writings in many different places
BUT
it is WHAT ISN'T WRITTEN anywhere being what He really means BECAUSE with GOD all things are possible?
Nothing about that seems the slightest bit upside down to you? What is written isn't TRUTH but what isn't written is truth because with God all things are possible?
THAT'S JUST AS CONFUSING AS CAN BE and we know that GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION.
So Adam died on the day he disobeyed but not really? And judgement is the second death. If you are right, Satan was correct in what he said to Eve. That makes God a liar:
Genesis 2:
16And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden, 17but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”

I am just going to Thank you for your time and end this conversation with you. I didn't realize you were arguing from a place of complete ignorance here. Now that I do know I would just be making you more accountable than you should be, and that would be on me. I have stood and I have warned. BUT
Let me give you a GREAT STARTING point in which to learn the order of what will happen when...
Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Remember all the dead who rose both the just and the unjust when the Lords Day began? Well, here are the dead that rose that DAY FINALLY having their JUDGMENT. Some will receive their immortality having had their names found in the book of life, and some will be judged to the 2nd death which is the death of BOTH the body and soul.
AFTER THAT what we find written is
Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it;
Above and below DID NOT RESURRECT when the 'graves were opened' 2000 years ago and they didn't resurrect in the resurrection of the just and the unjust when Christ returned as LORD OF LORDS AND KING OF KINGS to bring an end to the tribulation, when the Lords Day began but remained dead awaiting judgment like Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them:
and they were judged every man according to their works.
Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Sure, but not to Adam. You see immediate consequences of his disobedience. Blaming others, hiding from God, attempting to cover up - the marks of a sinner. Death is not the end of existence. It is separation from God. The wicked will be raised to face judgement just as the righteous. There is the second death, making the first death eternal and irreversible.
God's mercy and grace have been extended to man for thousands of years. God sent Jesus to die in our place. If there were no consequences for sinners, then the death of Jesus is pointless. So is the sacrifice of those who give up everything for His sake and even die for Christ.
