Is there also a difference between "eternal living" and "eternal life?" While the lake of fire [LOF] is called "the second death" twice Rev 21:8, 21:10Molinism is to follow one particular persons opinion or teaching, it is a concoction that should not be entertained within the sanctuary of God. In the context of dismissing false doctrine, it is important to note the difference between eternal punishment and eternal punishing. When one dies the second death there is nothing left to punish. Eternal punishing would require eternal life.
Revelation 21:4
(4) And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Revelation 21:8
(8) But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
No vs. in the Bible says anyone/anything is thrown into the LOF then they/it dies. In fact, Rev 20:10 says three living beings, one the false prophet, is a person, are thrown into the LOF but do not die they are tormented day and night for ever and ever.(4) And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Revelation 21:8
(8) But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Revelation 20:10
(10) And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Note Rev 21:4 says "no more death" which means that the 8 groups of sinners thrown into the LOF Rev 21:8 do not die.(10) And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Last chapter no more death, no more salvation.
Revelation 22:11
(11) He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
Where are these unjust and filthy? (11) He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
Revelation 22:15
(15) For without [outside the new Jerusalem] are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
(15) For without [outside the new Jerusalem] are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
