Those that have the 2nd death are never resurrected again from it. There is only one resurrection unto li9fe---the first resurrection---the 2nd is to damnation---to the 2nd death from which no one come out alive and you have never been able to provide any verse that shows anyone coming out of the lake of fire to live forever with God. Eternal life is given to the saved only. You also have never provided a verse that says eternal life is given to the lost.
Dear Lady: I repeat, the only individuals who are not "hurt" by the Lake of Theos (AKA Lake of Fire) are the select group known as "overcomers".
In regards to everlasting life (aionios zao), the apostle St. John defines it in a few powerful words.
"This is aionios zao, that we may know You.."
Everlasting life & everlasting punishment are a quality of life & a quality of punishment, both centered in the One who brings the all to His glorious at-one-ment.

Exactly---all others will be reduced to ashes by it.
.....
Most unfortunate, that you cannot find one verse where God, Himself, or Jesus, Himself says that.FineLinen said:The WHOLE of created life shall be delivered (including you)!
Big bad Beware ! !
"By the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous." -Plan A-
Alternate plan =

The greater hope is in agreement that one must believe to see life."and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life;"
Very LARGE Beware ! ! !
The Ultimate Plan =
"He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it." Isa. 25.8
Alternate plan =
God will swallow up some/tis death, from some/tis faces, in less than complete victory.
Bala = swallow =
To swallow down, swallow up, engulf.
If one declares himself to be more knowledgeable than the translators of the 1611 KJV and sets out to revise the inspired words of God the Holy Spirit, then I suppose one can declare the nonexistence of hell or anything else.The God of Glory is the Author of the Heavenly Big Gulp and it is trademarked by Him.
All thanatos/ all death (s) He consumes within Himself by engulfing it in Himself.
What the prophet Isaiah declares, St. Paul articulates as well.
"Put down" =
katargeo=
To render idle/ inoperative with no further efficency.
To deprive of force/ influence/ power.
To cause to cease/ abolish.
To be severed/ loosed/ terminated.
Our God consumes death in Life, zao & zoe Life!

He could even say that all will be saved and the inspired Word teaches that man will not be held responsible for his deliberate sins against a Holy God.
Yes I've read it many times.In the days of the 1611 KJV translators, no one knew there was a difference between the classical Greek of Homer and the Koine Greek of the NT. Fact.
The 1611 KJV translators labored under the penalties that would surely be imposed on them if they displeased either their king or their church. They chose to uphold the existence of Hell, but I have serious doubts/convictions.
The inspired Word you speak of DOES say that we will ultimately not be held responsible for our sins. Have you not read of it? The unrepentant pay a penalty, and that is that. I don't have time right now to look them up, but will later.
If UR were true ( it’s heresy) then what is the point in serving God in the here and now.
Just sin like the devil and your false god will save you anyways .
What a mockery this false doctrine makes of Scripture.
hope this helps !!!

According to universalism all will be saved, the punishment is a reduction in rewards, or something to that effect.
God doesn't give free passes such as this to man.

UR has nothing to do with foxes book of martyrs.It does not.
How can you even say that when so many are recorded in the Bible, not to mention Fox's Book of Martyrs, who served God at a great cost to themselves?
Yes, God "will save you anyways," but there is a price to pay. Surprised?
The only mockery I see comes from your side of the question.
