But the annihilationists actually are calling Jesus a liar.
Jesus means what He says and says what He means.
The annihilationists are causing people that would consider getting born gain to decide not to after hearing the lies from the the annihilationists that they won't suffer in hell for eternity
These people are literally working for satan to convince people to not get born again no matter how well meaning that may think they are. They are being used by the devil as mouth pieces to spread his lies and deception.
Already did and the annihilationists claim Jesus lied.
In other words they say what Jesus said is not true exactly like satan did with Adam and Eve in the garden
That's what the devil does is provide nice sounding alternatives to what the Lord says to deceive people in to not believing the Lord.
You need to accept the warnings the Lord placed in His Word about deception being the most dangerous thing in the end times.
End times started when Jesus took upon flesh and came in to this world.
I have no problem accepting the warnings about deception.
In fact, I agree that deception is one of the dominant themes of the New Testament.
Jesus repeatedly warned, "Take heed that no man deceive you" (Matt. 24:4), and the apostles echoed the same concern.
But notice what you are doing. You have moved from: "Deception is dangerous."
to: "Therefore annihilationism is demonic deception."
That second statement still has to be proven from Scripture.
You keep saying annihilationists are calling Jesus a liar.
They would say exactly the opposite.
They would argue that they are taking literally Christ's warnings about destruction, death, perishing, and being consumed.
Now, I happen to disagree with their interpretation.
But disagreement over the meaning of a text is not the same thing as calling Jesus a liar.
The real question remains: What did Jesus mean when He used terms such as "destroy," "perish," "death," "eternal punishment," "unquenchable fire," and "their worm dieth not"?
That is an exegetical question, not a question that can be settled merely by assigning motives.
You say: "Jesus means what He says and says what He means."
Amen.
But annihilationists say exactly the same thing.
Universalists say exactly the same thing.
Calvinists say exactly the same thing.
Arminians say exactly the same thing.
The dispute is not whether Jesus tells the truth.
The dispute is what He intended by His words.
Furthermore, I think there is a danger in your argument.
If we start saying that every believer who reaches a different conclusion on a difficult doctrine is "working for Satan," we have effectively ended biblical discussion.
Paul corrected Peter.
Apollos needed further instruction.
The Corinthians had serious doctrinal confusion.
Yet the apostles reasoned from Scripture rather than immediately declaring everyone a servant of the devil.
Even in your example from Genesis, Satan did not merely offer a competing interpretation.
He openly contradicted God: "Ye shall not surely die" (Gen. 3:4).
The question is whether annihilationists are doing that, or whether they are attempting, rightly or wrongly, to understand all the relevant passages.
I think they are mistaken.
But being mistaken is not automatically the same thing as consciously opposing Christ.
My concern is simple:
If the doctrine of eternal conscious punishment is true, then demonstrate it from the texts.
Show how the passages fit together.
Show why the annihilationist reading fails.
The stronger your biblical case is, the less need there is to accuse opponents of satanic motives.
Deception is indeed dangerous.
But one of the easiest ways to stop careful exegesis is to declare that anyone who disagrees with us must be an agent of deception.
I would rather keep asking: "What does the text say?"
Because Scripture, not accusations, is the authority.
