I got into this thread because I didn't understand where you were coming from. Now I don't know where you are going.
I never said there was no resurrection of the dead unto condemnation. What I said was if one holds to your theology (that the soul is not immortal) there is no need for the second resurrection because the soul (along with body) would already be dead in the grave and the Lord is going to eventually throw death into the lake of fire. So why bring up the dead? What does it matter? If, according to you, they are completely unaware of anything why not just let "sleeping dogs lie"? That would be like waking a sleeping person to tell him he is asleep.
No-one answers for their sin. That is what Christ did on the Cross. What has to be answered for by each individual (believer and unbeliever alike) is their faith in Christ or the lack of it. Hence the Judgement Seat of Christ and the Great White Throne judgement.

I can understand your logic behind what you've said. I don't completely understand everything, but will help you to know where I am coming from (as this is the view I hold). To start off I will explain my view on conditional immortality, then in the next post I will try to explain from my reading of scripture why the unrighteous will be raised before being destroyed.
I believe in the garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were given conditional immortality. That is, they were to live forever provided they obeyed the commandments of God. Hence God told them
but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die (Gen 2:17)
However as we both know, they disobeyed God and rebelled against him, whether it be by deception or deliberate. What I find is interesting however is the fact that the only reason I know of that we are given for Adam and Eve not being allowed to re-enter the Garden of Eden is so they couldn't live forever.
Gen 3:22-4
And the Lord God said, The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.
So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.
After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.
If you can find any other reason we are told about, for God tossing them out of the Garden of Eden, then please let me know as I would be interested to find out what it is.
One key thing I find here is that it was through eating the fruit of the tree of life that Adam and Eve had everlasting life. And apart from the few times its mentioned in Proverbs, the only time its mentioned is in Revelation. (Rev 2:7, 22:2, 14, 19)
The main time is in heaven where only the righteous are...
Rev 22:1-2
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
verses 14-5
Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.
Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
Not only that, in 1 Tim 6:15-16 it says that God alone is immortal. Whether or not that means that its through the tree of life that the angels are able to live forever or not, or if God has devised some other way, I don't know.
Anyway this is a basic view of my understanding, there is far more to it. Feel free to question anything I've said and by all means check out any scripture I have quoted in context. And this is the background for answering your question.
