The lake of fire is called the Second Death. If we die now we go to heaven or paradise as Christ would call it in another place.
But what happens when you die a second time ? You don't go to another place. You stop existing .
At the Eternity : You either have eternal life. Or you don't . The bible teaches this If you can wrap your mind around how figures of speech are used in the Bible.
[…]
The Lake of Fire is a blotting out of ones soul from existence . That is the second death.
And there can't be any recovery from it because its forever .
What you seem to be doing, is defining "the Second Death" in the same way "death" (the first one) is defined. I think you are mistaken on this point.
1 Corinthians 15:26 -
"The last enemy to be abolished [G2673 rendered entirely idle / inoperative] is death."
2673
katargéō (from 2596 /
katá, "
down to a point," intensifying 691 /
argéō, "inactive, idle") – properly, idle
down,
rendering something inert ("
completely inoperative"); i.e. being of
no effect (
totally without force, completely brought
down); done away with, cause to
cease and therefore abolish; make invalid, abrogate (bring to nought); "to make idle or inactive" (so also in Euripides,
Phoen., 753,
Abbott-Smith).
["2673 (
katargéō) means 'to make completely inoperative' or 'to put out of use,' according to
TDNT (1.453)" (J. Rodman Williams,
Renewal Theology "God, the World & Redemption," 389).]
[quoted from Bible Hub ^ ]
"Hell/Hades" is where there was still "time" for others to go to the brothers of the rich man, to warn them from "coming to this place of torment"... Not so with the latter punishment [GWTj; at the time spoken of above, where Rev20:14 says, "And death and Hades [/hell] were cast into the lake of fire.
This is the second death, the lake of fire." So, here, "death" and "hell/hades" were cast into the lake of fire... here is where "the last enemy, death" is "rendered completely inoperative"... that is, no one will ever be dying/experiencing death [as we understand the word] again... and since "the sea
gave up the dead...," and "death and hell/hades
delivered up the dead..." and "whosoever was not found written in
the book of life was cast into the lake of fire [and 'death' has now been rendered completely inoperative], there is
no escaping it [LOF] by means of death. [it has been rendered completely inoperative, at this point in the chronology]. This is the place of existence for those cast into it; and just like v.10 speaks of (
there, in v.10, regarding Satan, the beast, and the false prophet), the existence of it is "unto the ages of the ages" i.e. forever and ever/eternal... no escaping it by means of "death" (as we understand the term), for IT has been "abolished"]
