So, you agree that some people are resurrected to judgment and that it was out of place for you to write, "What a comically sadistic fate that would be. God waking up the dead, only to deliver them to a fate far worse."
Divine judgment is not a fate worse than death. It is, as revealed in Christ, a judgment on death, a resurrection to the life aioniosness, potentially by way of kolasis. When was the last time you read the Book of Judges? They were the saviors and saviorettes of Israel.
Mat 10:28 Instead, fear the One who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.
But He has every hair on your head counted, you're more valuable than a pair of wood ducks. By all means fear God, for there is none like Him and none above Him.
Rev 14:9 And another angel, a third one, followed them, saying in a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he shall also drink the wine of God’s fury, poured full strength into the cup of His wrath. And he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone before the holy angels and before the Lamb. 11 The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. Those who worship the beast and its image and those who receive the mark of his name have no rest day or night.”
That's the big warning - worship the beast you'll get no rest, only toil and tribulation. Lesson? Don't believe the lie. Repent. And if you read on, you'll see even these fools get saved come Rev 21 and 22.
Rev 20:14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the pool of fire. (This pool of fire is the second death.) 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the pool of fire.
That would be the Refiner's Fire, the Great Physician's final remedy. Hence the nations and kings of the earth return cleansed and repentant in Rev 21:24 for healing in Rev 22:2. The Pearly Gates stand ever-open for those who've washed in the ultimate laver (of which the Molten Sea and Pool of Bethesda are types), their scarlet sins white as wool after a good scrub with fuller's soap, all the nations singing 'We have overcome, by the blood of the Lamb!'
Rev 21:8 “But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
The death of cowardice, unbelief, abomination, murderous intent, immorality, sorcery and idolatry, and then the last enemy to be destroyed will be death itself as God makes everything new.
For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under
him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. (1 Cor 15:27-28)
See how it all works together for the good?
So, you agree that there is nothing in the scripture to support your belief in salvation of the devils.
I agree. The devil doesn't get saved, a fallen angel repents. For God is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
