This is the only thing I really wanted to respond to earlier but didn't because I couldn't quite believe that you wrote this. No offense even though you accused me of herectics, but do we have to have it spelled out for us? You admitted yourself that the LOF is called the second death but also needed to be further told that someone dies when thrown in. That doesn't even make sense. Being told it's the second death means exactly that, that you die when thrown in. This is the second death and it goes with Christ's teaching in Matthew 10:28. But according to some that doesn't mean that God will destroy the soul but that he could. Well, in Revelation he tells us specifically that's what will happen.. . .
Please read my posts again. I have NEVER used the word "heretic" in this forum.
Please show me were "anyone/anything is thrown into the LOF then they/it dies." Had you actually read and comprehended my post, you might have read this but evidently you didn't. It appears you only pulled out something to argue about. From my post,
Rev 19:20 But the beast was captured and with him the false prophet who worked the signs in his sight and by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who expressed adoration to his image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.2
And 1000 years later, the beast and the false prophet, who is a person, are still in the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and [they] shall be tormented [plural verb] day and night for ever and ever.
….More verses which show that the LOF is not synonymous with death or destruction.
Revelation 21:4 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 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
Revelation 21:8 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.
. Rev 21:4 says “
there shall be no more death” in vs. 5 Jesus said “Behold I make all things new.”
“
No more death” but 3 verses later Rev 21:8 says eight groups of the unrighteous “shall
have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is [still] the second death.”
If there is “no more death” after vs. 4 then those thrown into the lake of fire in vs. 8 do not die although it is called the “second death.”.
