You are welcome Your question harkens back to your repeated assertion that someone is not punished if they do not continually and forever after feel the effects of the punishment.
You are misunderstanding. Only if their punishment is described as eternal. Which it is, in Matt 25:46.
No one has said that "all" punishment will be eternal. Only the eternal punishment.
One could also ask, if all things are being made new, where does that leave any room for leftovers from the previous creation to be experiencing ongoing unending punishment?
Because all of the unbelievers will ALREADY be in their eternal punishment, BEFORE there will be a NH & NE. So it doesn't apply to them.
Always you seem to willfully overlook the fact that the second death is punishment
I have NEVER willfully overlooked that. Of course their second physical death will be part of their punishment.
from which there is no coming back from.
So?
The second death's effects are ever after.
After a physical body is dead, it does not feel anything, pain or pleasure. Eternal punishment, by definition, means the punishment is EXPERIENCED, which is what annihilationists fail to accept.
In such a way, God's wrath remains on them.
If their souls cease to exist, it won't matter. They won't be aware of it or anything. iow, no torment, no punishment, etc.
In fact, death is stated as a consequence of sin in a multiplicity of ways from beginning to end of Scripture.
Physical death is separation of soul from body, per James 2:26. Spiritual death is separation from God.
Spiritual death is NEVER described as ceasing to exist.
