Once I was flying from the west coast to Virginia, the man in the seat next to me was reading the Bible. I said, "Good book. I like how it ends." He smiled and nodded. He was not in uniform but I said "You are a military aviator." He looked at me strangely and said "Do I have a sign on my forehead or something." I said "No, the glasses and haircut." His glasses were issue aviator glasses. I know I had the same glasses. And he had the high and tight military haircut.
So what? I have read the end of the book.
I can't find one single verse which states or suggests there is opportunity for repentance and salvation after death. In fact, just the opposite.
Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Revelation 21:4-5
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.
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 21:7-8
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
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.
Vs. 4, no more death, all things new. but in vs. 8 eight groups are people are thrown into the LOF and it is still the second death.
Revelation 22:10-11
10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
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.
Instead of everybody being saved the unjust and the filthy are told to stay as they are.
Revelation 22:15-16
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
And there are still dogs, sorcerers, harlot mongers, murderers, idolaters, and liars outside New Jerusalem.
Revelation 22:18-19
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
And there are some being threatened with being taken out of the book of life.
All those verses you are going to use to counter these. Why didn't John know about those verses.
