CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
I believe that ALL who ever lived will be in God’s Kingdom

The Scripture clearly teaches of everlasting suffering in hell. People gave you the verses, yet you keep denying them. Any more discussion with you on this topic is a waste of time.

Spirit as such is eternal, not just the human spirit. Spirit returns to God after death, as the Bible says:
"...and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it."
Ecc 12:7
Each verse has its specific meaning and context. This is not how to work with Bible. For example, the verse about wine skins cannot tell you what a verse about Gehenna is supposed to mean, just because they contain the same word somewhere in the sentence.

Apparently my scriptural response was not in accordance with your non scriptural predisposition

Unlikely Satan is merely figurative. That is considered heresy, rightfully within orthodoxy
Jesus was tempted by a real Satan. Not another person or himself

I think we can be assured that Peter was not Satan and that a real Satan was involved in that event exactly as Jesus told us in Mark 4:15
Anyone who has experienced internal temptations by our adversary can attest to the fact of it, unless they too are blinded by the adversary
People are not Satan or devils, period
And the devil and his messengers will be in eternal hell, aka the LoF forever and ever

Not to an end of existence, to an end of well-being.

How does the imputation of sin/righteous equate to “generational only?” If anything, you have given further credence to my position. The imputation of sin due to one mans disobedience is global and complete resulting in death (physical & spiritual) to ALL men. The context and grammatical structure in 1st Corinthians 15:20-28 leave no room for speculation. Particularly verses 22-23 …
”For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ’s, at his coming.“
1 Corinthians 15:22-23 ASV

By the way … I don’t need to “start with” anything. It’s not my responsibility to try and figure out how you arrive at your interpretation. I demonstrated how I came to arrive at my interpretation using context and grammatical consistency. Feel free to reciprocate if you are so inclined, or not. Also, we were discussing 1st Corinthians 15. Why not just stay there to support your position of “generational only“ concerning all those “in Adam?”

God made a promise of eternal life to the elohim, not to humans. Their lot in the lake is eternal torment because they cannot die due to God's unbreakable promise of eternal life. We humans on the other hand were not factory made to exist beyond a point without God's say so. Is he the type of God who will eliminate the tares among humankind, or torture for eternity to please the bloodlust of humans who hope their enemies burn?

When the tares of the field are burned do they suffer forever or are they returned to their previous state of growth material but not seed? If you were told at resurrection you were not worthy of the Kingdom but only a second death from which there is no reprieve, ever, no more resurrection into life, would that not be an eternal punishment? Does it have to include the human lust for torment?

I'm sure you'll understand if I believe Jesus' words in Mt 25:46:
"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
rather than your personal contra-Biblical heresy.

My reply:
Yea. I know. I wanted to know how the imputed sin of Adam equates to a “generational only” interpretation of the 1st Corinthians 15 passage. How do you justify interpreting this treatise of Paul concerning the resurrection to isolate it to only mean physical? Again. Did ALL men die in Adam physically and spiritually OR did all men die in Adam only physically? If the later, please explain exactly why man needs saving if his death is only physical. What in this passage of Scripture supports your interpretation?
I have no issue with you going outside the text to further establish and support your position. But I believe every text of Scripture within its immediate given context should be able to stand alone on its own merits. THEN, shown to be consistent with the rest of Scripture. This passage, and a plethora of others, is perfectly consistent with my view of the complete and total salvation of ALL mankind (Romans 5 too). So as far I’m concerned, Paul is abundantly clear about his position also.
So far you have done nothing to demonstrate your position within the immediate context of 1st Corinthians 15. Do you feel Paul was a bit negligent, vague or ambiguous concerning his view on the resurrection which requires you to go outside of the immediate context for additional support?

P.S. I am a former 5 point Calvinist as I assume this is your position. I believe 4 of the 5 are grounded firmly within holy writ but, as I’m sure you are aware, I can no longer hold to a “limited atonement“ view. This point I find to be inconsistent with the overall context of Scripture.
