"Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." Matt.10:28
understand that the soul is a created thing , NOT the essence of a man which is the spirit, in the image of God who is spirit ...
observe from scripture that the daed body BECOMES a soul, a life, by means of God giving the spirit, and that the spirit always returns to God because it is of God :-
Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath [spirit] of life; and man
became a living soul.
Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God
who gave it.
thus the soul [life] begins [and ends] with the spirit as-it-were entering and leaving the body [but note that the spirit is NOT physical, it is of God ]
James 2:26 ... the body without the spirit is dead,...
without the spirit there is no soul [life] in the body ... understand then that it is the spirit by which mankind is resurrected to a new soul free of sin [Rom 6:7] ... to lose one's soul is only to lose one's life , life [ and so soul] will be restored, all are freed from hell and death [Rev 20:13] ... do not listen to the nonsense of sinners, they do not know, and repeat what other sinners teach ,who equally cannot know... only saints are baptised to know the Truth of God [John 16:13] and few find that way in this life [Matt 7:14] ... so following the many one will be deceived and destroyed [Matt 7:13] for continuing sin, abuse of others instead of Loving them ...
The first death is physical. The second death is of the soul.
BOTH deaths are physical and both are the end of the soul [life] , that is what death is ...a return to the spirit , which always returns to God , nowhere else to go [and being of God it is indestructible, not subject to anything physical whatever]
all the many are destroyed [Matt 7:13] because few find the way of Love, stop abusing others with sin ... [matt 7:14] ... but NOTE that COUNTLESS MANY are later saved -Rev 7:9-10... so clearly destruction of the body and soul does not end the man , the spitrit of a man is all God needs to resurrect ALL to life -Rev 20:13 in the kingdom come , just and unjust ... but the few just are FIRST at Jesus' return because they must create the kingdom and rule and minister there ... so they are saved by grace in this life, a FEW saints ... and the billions destroyed, dead until the kingdom is ready for salvation of billions... for who did you think the king/priest saints serve and rule by Love under Jesus ? ...there is only the many destroyed in this world :-
Revelation 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
;but note that it is the new earth, not
this earth:-
John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of
this world
2 Peter 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth
righteousness. [no more sin]
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a
new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were
passed away; and there was no more sea.
There are many references to the destruction and perishing of the person as the final form of judgment.
in your imagination and fears perhaps, but the spirit of a man is of God , one with God , indestructible... the individual needs to be conformed to Love to be with God, but God has said He will do that ... not by force but by causing men to see He is right, Love is a better way of life than sin...
as Jesus says, all will accept him as ruler of their lives [by Love, no more abuse of others] eventually :-
Revelation 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
thus for now it comes down to whether one believes in Love and waht Jesus says will be, or in sin and Satan as the whole world will [Rev 13:3-4] bar the few who find the way now as saints [Jude 1:14] not sinners any longer ...
Do a study on Hell (the Lake of Fire) and you will find that judgment is clear --
rather stop sinning and get baptised by God Himself to KNOW ABSOLUTELY all Truth from Him -John 16:13 ... then one will know what nonsense sinenrs talk and see through their 'studies' turning scripture of Love into scripture of continual sin of the masses as advocated by Satan worldwide -Rev 13:3-4 ... ,man-made religion of Satan in league with man-made politics of liars... read about what Jesus says about it !
all will not be saved in the end as some universalists claim.
it's Jesus who says so, but is well aware that sinners will not believe him , but believe in the false image of him created by Satan -Rev 13:3-4- almost everyone of this earth ...
The Bible is clear about many who will perish and suffer judgment (whether eternal or not)!
judgement of God is just ,as to who still abuses others with sin, who Loves all as Jesus commands...
the first judgement is when Jesus takes the FEW saints at his return [Jude 1:14] , few find the way [Matt 7:13] , Jesus says who they are [Rev 7:3-8] ... sinners ignore these words of scripture and pretend grace will save them despite continual sin, they never stop sinning but think grace will forgive them, but it doesn't [Rom 6:1-15]:-
Romans 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace?
God forbid.
thus it is ALL still sinning who are destroyed in the wrath of God against all sinners , the many of mass religion of sinners along with all other sinners in this earth -matt 7:13 - only the FEW saints are taken by Jesus, he says NONE that are still SINNERS ... so do you believe Jesus or not ? :-
Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them,
I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Luke 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are;
depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
it cannot really be said any more clearly, ALL still sinning will be DESTROYED after Jesus takes the FEW saints to begin building the kingdom come in the new earth...
God requires that the teaching be PURE so teaches all the saints Himself by His spirit , not even by the saints [Heb 8:10-11 - the ACTUAL new covenant of grace]
saints then only teach sinners, and few sinners listen ... the mass churches of religion are thus of Satan as Jesus has said they will be -Rev 13:3-4
but all are freed from hell eventually -Rev 20:13 and countless many saved at judgement day , again a FAIR judgement of who Loves in the righteous kingdom come, those who still sin dying a second death to free them yet again from sin [Rom 6:7], death being the main way sin is stopped in men, not the grace which saves only the few of this earth, the many are saved by WORKS [Rev 20:13] at judgement day [so much for sinners who prejudge in this earth, condemning themselves ,but fortunately for them falsely judging others in hypocrisy of Satan's version of 'Christianity' for sinners , not saints ]
