no, Bud, it's not just my thoughts. it's God's thoughts. it's what the Bible says.
you're defining life as touching, tasting, feeling, hearing, seeing. those are things the body does.
when God created you He wasn't lying; He actually gave you existence. not fake temporary existence.
He is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto Him.
(Luke 20:38)
you don't cease to exist when your body dies.(Luke 20:38)

He has made everything beautiful in its time.
Also He has put eternity in their hearts,
except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.
(Ecclesiastes 3:11)
He put actual eternity in our hearts, not lying eternity. it is written that the dead will rise, all mankind; it is not written that all will cease to exist then be re-created. people are more than merely little clouds of dissociated dust that temporarily assumed the form of a body. God wonderfully formed us with eternity hidden in our depths, breathed our lives into bodies, and held out His hand to us. so that we might know Him, and knowing Him, have life. people aren't temporary; only these present things are.Also He has put eternity in their hearts,
except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.
(Ecclesiastes 3:11)
life isn't the same as existence; neither is death.
look at your phone or computer or whatever it is you are reading this post on.
is it alive?
is it dead?
it's neither, Bud. it's plastic & metal. it exists but it doesn't have death and it doesn't have life.
i'm not saying all live forever. but you're saying life and existence are the same thing; they're not. and you're speaking as though life in the flesh is the only kind of life there is; it's not. God says all are alive to Him -- people whose bodies have been dead for a thousand years, 5,000 years - they are alive, to God. how can God know them if they don't exist? does He know imaginary things or things which are ?
notice He doesn't say they cease to exist.
if they ceased to exist, they wouldn't be ashes. you are in fact telling me they exist as ashes, eternally. that's eternal existence; eternal death in this case. living and dying are not the same thing as existing. Adam and Eve still exist. Cain still exists.

I wouldn't want to be in your place when God comes back, Saying this lie is GODs though , YOU mite deceive some with this lie. And maybe could have me about 10 to 12 years ago, But now I no that it is a lie, Because it don't line up with the BIBLE as a WHOLE, GOD has showed me that the whole BIBLE IS for me, to learn BY and live BY, NOT just the parts that line with what I think I know.
GOD bless as HE sees fit.

IT has no life, no filling ,Can't see , can't talk , AND has never been alive, SO it can't die, BECAUSE IT DON'T have life.
GOD says that after the lost have paid for their sins and has been burnt to ashes, that there will not be even a fire to warm your hands at, It's not the fire that's eternal, but the circumstance ,THAT will be eternal , They will be ashes ,and be dust again like the BIBLE SAYS. FOR eternity DEAD,

I think it was just a small jig at the title
