God made man an eternal being.
Man will live forever (in a since of having a conscious mind)
Death in those context means seperation. Adam did die the moment he ate of that tree, yet his physically lived for another 900 and some years. He had to be born again to restore the relationship with God.
Those born again, and restored to God. those who do not remain dead to God.
That spiritual death, if not taken care of. will last forever. (again, that is hell)

Satan began the "immortal soul" false doctrine in the garden and man has believed him instead of God ever since...

First, please do not reply to this post. This is not the focus I intended for this thread. I am merely replying here so as to show you and others where I am coming from on this point.
Second, you accused me being likened to satan and you bolded the word "DUDE" and used it many times. In other words, you attacked me instead of attacking the doctrine.
If anyone is interested in checking out your post that I believe exhibited a lack of love towards me instead of you sticking to debating the doctrine respectfully, then they can check that out here.
If anyone is interested in my reasoning of why I think the word "dude" is slightly disrespectful to use with someone you never met before, you can start by reading at this point here.
Anyways, may the Lord's love shine upon you today.

avoided referring
and not at opening revelation - "point for now it better scare you, man."
...missing out on eternity is PAINFULL. ..-the end, there. it's sad beyond sad and wrong through "parts you didn't know you had." so sad you can't grasp any of it.
..lake of fire is unbearable. i could not say hitler should go there for 12 seconds. really. who knows what he chose.
we thinks babylonians will be there a few thousand years or more. it's fully impossible.
Okay, as for the point on Genocide (for clarity of understanding for other readers here): Well, Genocide does not apply to God because He made you and all people. We wouldn't exist in the first place if it wasn't for God. Also, God knows if a person is being good and wicked. God knows a person better than anyone knows themselves. God knows your future and what you are going to do. So if God decides to take a person's life and if that person is truly wicked and was never wanting to accept the Lord whereby they just loved sin and evil instead, then God being their Creator of all things has the right to judge their sins and then end their existence by casting them into the Lake of Fire. If a person is innocent like a baby or someone who is mentally handicapped, or if a person is a true believer in Jesus Christ (and not a fake), then they will be with the Lord in spirit when their body dies and then one day they will have a new physical resurrected body so as to restore God's original good plan of being with man back in the Garden. For God never intended man (Adam & Eve) to be on their own. For man can never be perfectly obedient on his own. Mankind needed God (Jesus Christ) to be his/her mediator or intercessor.
Thank you.
Romans 5:13 says, "sin is not imputed where there is no Law." This passage can be understood in two ways.
#1. In context it is talking about how sin was imputed by Adam's death to those who did not live by faith before the Law of Moses came. In Romans chapter 5 we learn, "For by one man sin entered the world and by one man many shall be justified."
Now, under the Mosaic Law there was an accounting and those under that Law had to bring their sacrifices accordingly. Prior to the Mosaic law, the Patriarchs offered sacrifices to God, but not as a result of particular sins–not because God said to them if you do such and such sin then you have to offer such and such sacrifices. The sacrifices of the Patriarchs were offered based upon faith, not law. Which explains the context of Romans 5:13.
For sin was no doubt in the world prior to the law and so was transgression, hence there had to be some kind of law. For obviously Paul does not contradict himself here. He says that sin was not accounted until the law came. The point is that there was no law from God to this point that had been codified, that is, placed into written form. Before the Law of Moses, sin was not imputed because there was no written Law to transgress. Then how was sin imputed to those living before the written Law? Well, sin was imputed to those living before the Law because the "death of sin" was passed down to them thru Adam's disobedience (Romans 5:12, 14, 17, 18, 19). Those living before the Law, were exclusively justified by faith and those who did not live by faith were condemned. In other words, the Old Testament saint living before the Law was justified by following Romans 8:1. Yes, they did not know who Christ was yet or this passage, but the Spirit of Christ was in fact within the prophets, though (1 Peter 1:10, 11).
#2. The basic truth or point expressed in Romans 5:13 can also be applied to a person's life, as well. The passage says, "Sin is not imputed where there is no Law." Babies, and the mentally handicapped have no knowledge of the Law (or right from wrong yet) so sin is not imputed to them. Young children have some kind of understanding of the Law, but they are not fully aware of the entire scope or conseqences of the Law yet. In other words, sin is not imputed to those who do not know about God's Law (Such as babies and or those who are mentally handicapped) and sin is not imputed to those who do not have a full awareness of God's Law yet (Such as children who are still learning about right from wrong).
As for more verses about the Age of Accountability: Well, I would recommend checking out these two articles here.
Anyways, I hope this helps.
And may God bless you, my friend.
Thank you.

No, I am judging your false interpretation on certain verses as how you and others understand God. There is a difference.
I love the book of Job and I know full well what it is about. However, Job was looking at the natural world and he was not reading the Scriptures about some kind of false interpretation on God punishing the wicked for all eternity. Big difference.
In this life.... yes. We cannot look behind the curtain and see what God is doing; However, make no mistake, there are many good verses, and real world examples that explain the challenges that we go thru in this life with. But nobody has ever offered a good, fair, and loving explanation for Eternal Torment because it does not exist within the Scriptures; For it only exists within the minds of men. For if it was true, you would have offered a loving explanation for it already. But we both know you will never be able to do that like --- forever.
So you honestly believe that a rejection of God (Christ) and a finite amount of crimes (sins) done against God is justification for being tortured in flames for all eternity? Please explain how that is loving, just, and good.
Well, I do not believe in an "Antinomian - Sin and still be Saved" doctrine (Like a lot of Christians today do), so no.
Do you believe that you can abide in unrepentant sin such as lying, stealing, hating, etc. and still be saved?

Well, I have been having these Bible based discussions for years now online. First, you are not the first person to feel that way. However, you should know that your opinion is not the majority view; And you should know there is nothing morally wrong or disrespectful in this method of disseminating information, either. Second, I do not post other people's articles verbatim in the majority of my posts. Most of what I write is my own words. Third, if I catered to every peron's opinions on how I should communicate on Bible forums, then I would never be able to even talk with anyone. Fourth, sometimes others just say it better then I can. So it would be futile to repeat or rephrase that says the exact same thing.
In other words, truth is truth no matter who writes it; And if that truth can lead a person to have their eyes opened, then glory be to God.
First, carcases (skeletons) and ashes can both exist together at the same time, or the saints can view the carcases at one particular point in time before they eventually become dust or ashes later.
Second, Hell fire does not suggest that the fire will burn them forever. As I said before, a knight can obtain a magic sword that is eternal but yet if that knight slays his enemies with his sword it does not mean that he is slaying his enemies eternally.
As I said before, I do not believe everything the author of the website had expressed. Granted, I DO think that such a thing is a possibility, but I make Scripture my first authority and not history and or man made tradition.

First, I want to say thank you. You have helped to push me into researching this verse out more and while I was researching (reading) this passage, God just opened my understanding on this verse in a way that I did not consider before. It wasn't so much any article I was reading that helped me (while I was searching), but it was looking at the passages again (with an open mind).
What is the "Ages of Ages" in Revelation 20:10 talking about?
Revelation 20:10 is indeed saying that the devil, the beast, and the false prophet will be tormented day and night for... "the ages of ages." Here are a few translations that express this.
"for the eons of the eons." ~ Concordant Literal New Testament
"for the ages of the ages." ~ Darby Bible Translation.
"for the aeons of the aeons." ~ The New Covenant by Dr. J.W. Hanson
In other words, Revelation 20:10 is saying the devil, the beast, and the false prophet will be tormented day and night for the purpose of the Ages of the Ages. Meaning the Ages of Ages that are past! They are being punished day and night for the evil that they committed during the past Ages and Ages here on this Earth. For the word "for" can also be defined as "because" within the English language.
Revelation 10:10 Darby
"And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where [are] both the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for [the purpose of] the ages of ages."
For the devil, the beast, and the false prophet are all demons who have tormented mankind for ages and ages. So they will be cast into the Lake of Fire and brimstone and will be tormented day and night and not for all eternity.
So the "ages of ages" is talking about "past ages" and not "future ages."
This is further supported by the fact that Paul says the last enemy to be destroyed is death (1 Corinthians 15:26), which suggests that there were other enemies of God that the Lord destroyed before this last enemy. This then ties in nicely with Revelation 21:4 saying, "the former things have passed away." These former things that have passed away are: tears, sorrow, crying, death, and pain. For the first heaven and first earth will pass away and a new heaven and a new earth will take it's place (Revelation 21:1). For Jesus says, "I make all things new." (Revelation 21:5).

Well, if you were to read the entire passage it essentially says He is the Holy One.
Isaiah 40:25
"To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One."
Meaning, God is perfect (Holy) and man is not perfect (not Holy). That is why God says He has no comparison. For where man sins and can make mistakes, God cannot be compared to man because He is the Holy One who is not capable of sin, or in making mistakes. All actions by God are always perfect, righteous, loving, and good. They are never in question. God's goodness can be known. For Jesus said, you will know a tree by it's fruit. What are the fruits of the Spirit again?

So you believe this has to do with the fact that the Conditional Imortality (CI) Proponent believes they have a low view of the severity of sin?
Well, how did God punish all of mankinds sin so as to redeem us? Did Jesus die eternally in order to pay the price for our sins? Did Jesus suffer eternally on our behalf in Hell being tortured in the flames forever and ever? No. Jesus died physically in our place ONE TIME; For the wages of sin is death. Then after Jesus' body died, The Spirit of Christ (Second person of the Godhead) was in the heart of the Earth for three days and three nights (In Abraham's Bosom). Jesus body then rose from the grave 3 days and 3 nights later. In other words, if the punishment for man's sins are eternal, then Jesus also would have to pay that same exact price in order to redeem us. That is why that after the Resurrection of the Damned (i.e. the 2nd Resurrection) men will die once for their sin just like Jesus had died once for sin. They were resurrected by Christ, but seeing they did not receive the gift, they will then die once for their sin instead of living forever like a believer in Jesus Christ. It is why the 2nd Death is called the "Second Death" because it is related to the 1st Death (i.e. a person's 1st physical death).
In other words, if you believe CI (Conditional Immortality) teaches a low view of the severity of sin, then why did the Father think it was good to crush the Son --- One Time ---- for the payment for our sins? Surely if severity of sin is that serious and demands more punishment, then Jesus would also have to meet that same punishment or price in order to redeem us.

To put it to you another way,
Jesus paid the penalty for all sin one time.
In other words, everyone's sin is paid for and everyone will have a resurrection. The difference is that if you accept Christ and His gift (i.e. having a relationship with Him) that will determine a person's life or death.
#1. Those who are born once die twice.
#2. Those who are born twice die once.
#2. Those who are born twice die once.
Jesus paid the penalty for all sin one time.
#1. Jesus is a believer's substitute because they accepted Him and His gift. So they will live spiritually and physically forever.
#2. Those who deny Jesus and His gift, will die like all men under Adam and then die again after they are resurrected by Christ.

Another perspective:
God’s word tells us the world is made of things unseen, which describes the atom and it’s subatomic components. The interesting thing about the atom is that it’s nucleus is composed of like-charged particles, and orbiting that are like charged particles. The laws of science dictate that like charged particles repel each other, indicating the whole dang thing should just naturally come apart. But God says that all things are held together by Him (Hebrews 11:3; Col. 1:16). The Lord spoke this creation into existence, putting it together by His very Word (note the similarity of word/world). We are told that at the end of its existence the elements will melt with fervent heat (2 Peter 3:7, 10, 12). Consider what happens when an atom is split - it creates intense heat and fire as the element is ripped out of existence. Could it be possible that when God speaks it out of existence, the resulting nuclear meltdown of all created matter that now exists as our earth and heavens will create the lake of fire? Would it seem fitting that those who love this world more than Him would be given it, in its natural state apart from Him?

Yes, that certainly is a possibility, and can be one part in Earth's destruction (i.e.. the elements melting). Yet, I also believe that such a thing might tie in to another explanation given to us in Scripture, as well.
For Hell is sort of like an island sitting atop of the Lake of Fire. For the Earth's core is like a big fiery hot ball. The great gulf is an opening or crack in Hell's surface letting some of the flame from below (in the Lake of Fire) to show.
Deuteronomy 32:22
"For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains."
The lowest Hell is the Lake of Fire. For the English word Hell was translated from the Greek word Gehenna in the New Testament, which means Lake of Fire.
Isaiah 34:14
"The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest."
The wild beasts, the satyr, and the screech owl in this passage are demons. The wild beasts of the island are those demons on the island of Hell below. In other words, Hell is like an island with the Lake of Fire being sort of like it's waters.
Anyways, I believe the Deuteronomy 32:22 is saying that the center of Earth's core (Lake of Fire) will release super heated magma (sort of like volcanoes) that will consume the upper crust (or top layer) of the Earth including the mankind's increase and the setting on fire the foundations of the mountains. I believe 2 Peter 3 talks about the end of the Day of the Lord (after the Lord's 2nd Coming that will involve the puriifcation of this Earth by fire, similar to how the global flood had purified our planet once). Anyways, the following is what the scenario of what will happen after Christ destroys all the evil and wicked nations that come up against Him (Which will then be followed by the Millennium or the 1,000 year reign of Christ and the Judgment).
The Aftermath of The 7 Year Tribulation (Epilogue):
(The Conclusion of the Day of the Lord):
The Earth is A Dark & Desolate Wasteland:
• Jeremiah 4:23 ERV, Jeremiah 4:24 AMP, Jeremiah 4:25 ERV,
.. Jeremiah 4:26a ISV, Jeremiah 4:26b WEB, Jeremiah 4:27 GWT
I looked at the earth. It was empty; there was nothing on it. I looked at the sky, and its light was gone. I looked at the mountains, and... they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly to and fro. I looked, but there were no people. All the birds of the sky had flown away. I looked, and the fruitful land had become a desert. All its cities were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger. This is what the LORD says: The whole earth will be ruined, although I will not destroy it completely.
The Earth is Purified by Fire:
(All Things Upon the Earth Are Destroyed By Fire)
(And the Polluted Atmosphere Passes Away With a Great Noise):
• 2 Peter 3:10
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

I looked, but there were no people. All the birds of the sky had flown away. I looked, and the fruitful land had become a desert. All its cities were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger. This is what the LORD says: The whole earth will be ruined, although I will not destroy it completely.
(All Things Upon the Earth Are Destroyed By Fire)
(And the Polluted Atmosphere Passes Away With a Great Noise):
• 2 Peter 3:10
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

In the last days deceivers will pour out from Satan to attempt, if possible, a single refutation of Jesus our Lord and savior. If one word can be successfully disputed, then all are lost, without hope.
But I am not lost, nor without hope. I have resisted the atheists and their religion of evolution. I am resisting the world's notion of eternal punishment. I will not have pity for the atheist or evolutionist that would dilute the truth of God, or find peace from a child of God accepting a compromised hybrid theology.
Don't do it!
Little by little Satan is rewording the word of God. That's what he did in the garden of Eden. He changed the word of God so slightly, just enough to spiritually poison mankind.
Recognize the usual arguments of Satan. They keep coming at us. What has been cherished by the Church, confirmed in His word, is being trodden under foot.
Make certain your feet are not doing that!
