The possiblility is for some to be blotted out as well.The possibility seems to open that the Book of Life contains everyone's names but also that it's not fixed and a name may not be included at one point but added sometime later.
But this word "alive" in the Greek does not mean eternal life. This is what happens when someone dies in the flesh. They are made alive/quickened in the spirit.His promise in 1 Corinthians 15:22 that "for as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ."
This is the only time that the word alive is used in this manner. It's usually quicken/quickened.
The Greek word is 2227 zoopoieo- vitalize, make alive, give life, quicken. It is the same word for quickened in this verse,
I Peter 3:18 "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:"
Quickened in this verse is the very same Greek word as alive in 1st Cor 15:22 -zoopoieo
It means after we die in the flesh we are quickened/made alive in the spirit -all people. We either then go to one side of the gulf or the other and Judgement Day does not arrive until the end.
It was that same spirit that Christ went and taught the spirits in prison. It basically means after we die in the flesh we are vitalized in the spirit.
Hate to double post but wanted to respond.
