Ezekiel 18:20 "The soul the sinneth, it shall die. the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him."
The first death is our separation from God in this life. The Second death is separation from God eternally in the Lake of Fire.
Life has no part in the LOF no matter how much you put it in there and hide it under the guise of separation from God but still in torment for an eternity.
In Hades, as in the Rich Man's case, only the spirit of the Rich Man is there. He is still a "soul" because he is still the person that physically died.
Of course he's still there. We haven't gotten to the LOF and final judgement at that point. The other side of the gulf is not the same thing as the LOF at final judgement.
There's no resurrection in the LOF. Totally unbiblical and once again goes against our Father's and Christ's teaching.
They are resurrected and cast into the Lake of Fire. The Beast and the False Prophet go into the Lake of Fire alive.
but when this man is cast into the Lake of Fire, he will be resurrected as taught in Revelation 20. Both body and soul (person) will be in torment forever.
The Lake of Fire is a spiritual place,
The Lake of Fire is a spiritual place, not a physical place we might get into a rocket ship and one day find. The dead, those without the life of Christ, are resurrected to fulfill Christ's teaching that God will destroy both soul (person) and body (the physical body) in Hell, the Lake of Fire.
Your own words. It's the second death -Christ's words.
If one takes the Bible as a whole it's really easy to see the nature of God. Going back to Ezekiel 18,
Ezekiel 18:21 "But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all My statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die."
Ezekiel 18:22 "All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live."
Ezekiel 18:23 "Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?"
I'm sure you've read these verses but have you ever really taken them to heart??
God doesn't even want the wicked to perish.
Yet you think he would torment someone for an eternity?
This verse as well as others like it show he that does not even want anyone to die, he wants all to come to repentance.
II Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."
That tells me all I need to know. Thanks for your time.

I was taught as you believe once
but it doesn't hold up biblically at all if we take the bible as a whole and especially verses like in Ezekiel and Christ's teachings in Matthew 10:28 and Revelation 20.
That completely nails down what happens to the soul.
It dies/is destroyed fully if we go by the first defintion in the Greek.
I have been giving short posts. Which of those have you responded to with a direct response to the points made?
You keep posting this:
And you will not answer a simple question:
What animals do we find, other than Sheep and Goats—in Matthew 25?
God bless.
Yes, context matters. Which means we can take the entire bible and most definitely Christ's teachings in Mattew 10:28 which fit with his teachings that the second death is just that -death.
We certainly know aions can have ends we've seen that numerous times throughout the bible. But death always means death. As I've said, we can't change the meaning. The opposite of death is life. We either achieve life or death, that's it. And we've been told all thoughout what the final state will be of the wicked.
The only animals the Master is speaking in this awesome chapter in two clean animals.

Your advice is worthless, because you are trying to condemn (pun intended) words we use to describe Doctrines and concepts in Scripture and make a case that because "eternal condemnation" isn't found you have somehow supported your argument.
Are you a monotheist, then? Because to be consistent you are going to have to equally argue against the Trinity.
Address the Scripture and the points, as I have with your proof-texts. To keep repeating "There's no such thing as Eternal Condemnation" hasn't helped you yet, and dodging the actual discussion isn't helping you.
And this is how supporters of false doctrine always have to engage in a Doctrinal Discussion: by avoiding the discussion.
God bless.
The one passage of Scripture addressing everlasting punishment by Jesus Christ, has a context and five conditions for the same.
Questions =
1. What are the conditions for "everlasting punishment": there are 5 ?
2. Why is the Master speaking of virgins (5 wise/ 5 unwise)?
3. Why two clean animals, rather than one clean & one unclean?
Here is the condition made clear:
Matthew 25:45-46
King James Version
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
You are trying to take a parable that has as a first application the Millennial Kingdom (will money be relevant to the Eternal State?) and ignoring Christ's summation.
Just deal with the summation, Fine Linen.
Do you really not see that the Lord states without controversy that there will be those who go away into everlasting punishment and those that will have Life Eternal?
Why kick at the goads?
God bless.

You know, that is a very real possibility: it does get a little boring addressing the same arguments over and over.
Yawn...
The one passage addressing everlasting punishment.
That's a good error to address first:
Mark 9:43-44
King James Version
43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
Here is a second of many passages addressing everlasting punishment.
What are you going to do with it?
What will you say since your assertion...
...has been shown to be in error?
How then does their worm die? How then is the fire quenched?
I told you...
And here you are again posting the same absurd notion that there are "five conditions for everlasting punishment."
First, are you saying that if these five conditions are met then people will endure everlasting punishment?
Secondly, you ignore the context of the Ten Virgins and fail to place them in the proper Historical Context and this is supposed to mean something to...who?
Third, you did not bother to address my response to your statement the first time around and you ask me to do what you are not willing to do?
I already told you: He is addressing the conditions that will exist at His Return.
Do you really not understand that the Scripture that reveals to us a better understanding concerning Eternal Judgment was not yet given in regards to His Second Coming?
The Jews, including Christ's disciples—thought they would see the fulfillment of all Prophecy concerning the Coming of Messiah. They did not understand that the Lord would die on the Cross, return to His Father's House, and then return again in judgment of the physical world.
How is this relevant to "The one passage of Scripture addressing everlasting punishment by Jesus Christ?"
Perhaps you would show me two clean animals in Matthew 25?
God bless.

Sorry, but FineLinen's false doctrine doesn't set the standard for Scripture, Scripture sets the standard for FineLinen.
Answer my questions.
How about just one: what animals are mentioned in "the only passage where Jesus Christ teaches everlasting judgment?"
You can persist in ignoring what is being said, but it only shows the inability to engage in honesat discussion.
God bless.

Show why clean and unclean animals are relevant to the "only passage Christ teaches everlasting judgment" in.
Or, simply address what I have already responded in my direct repsonse to your doctrine.
It's up to you, FineLinen. I am sorry you think you have an argument with this, and think that reposting changes either my own responses to it or validates it as relevant.
God bless.
We can't note the context unless you actually provide what Scripture you are referring to.
Where are the two clean and one unclean animals in Matthew 25?
God bless.

It is called the Lake of Fire, not the Lake of God.
Fire is representative of judgment, and this is contrasted with salvation—both everlasting:
Matthew 3:11-12
King James Version
11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
You would need to provide Scripture to correlate with whatever point it is you are trying to make.
