I understand that there are those who believe that people who teach that the lake of fire isn't a permanent place of punishment, but instead teach that it's a place where persons, such as Satan and his demons, and all the humans who choose to follow them, to be a place where those persons are annihilated out of existence to not have the support of the scriptures. But honestly I don't believe that when the scriptures say that Death and Hades, are thrown into the lake of fire, that Death and Hades, are tormented forever because they're not persons. How can Death and Hades be tormented if they're not persons? So because Death and Hades are thrown into the lake of fire, the only thing I can understand about that is that when Death and Hades are thrown into the lake of fire, it means Death and Hades, will never exist again. So why wouldn't I believe that persons who are thrown into the lake of fire would never exist again. The scriptures do teach us that the lake of fire is the second death, and I don't believe death is a place or a person, instead I believe death is a condition. So I believe anything such as Death and Hades, and persons, like Satan and his demons and all those of humanity who follow Satan and his demons, who are thrown into the lake of fire, will never exist again just as Death and Hades, will never exist again.
The scriptures you told me to read, like Matthew 3:12. I'm thinking you want me to see this scripture supporting people being literally tormented when thrown into the lake if fire, because Matthew 3:12_has the phrase, "but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire." However I I keep Matthew 3:12 in the setting of John the Baptist and what he was saying. So if you're saying that because Matthew 3:12 has the phrase, "but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire," that means, John the Baptist was talking about people being literally burned and being literally tormented by that unquenchable fire, I disagree.
John the Baptist, was foretelling the coming burning destruction of the wicked false religionists, and the Thresher, wasJesus Christ, who would gather in the wheat, “but the chaff he will burn up with fire that cannot be put out.”
The wheat that was gathered into the storehouse, was the Jewish remnant that sided with Jesus the Messiah the Prince. They were baptized with holy spirit from the day of Pentecost forward. The chaff that was burned up with unquenchable fire, was the Jewish nation in general, which sided with Caesar against Jesus. They were baptized with God's wrath particularly from 70 A.D. onward. Chaff represents what is useless, so when Jesus sacrificed his life, that old way of Jewish worship, the temple, animal sacrifices, and the law covenant ended, so was worthless in getting an approved relationship with God. So people had to recognize that Jesus is the head of the origination that represents God's people, and true worship.But because the Jews in general didn't recognize Jesus as the Messiah, they kept looking at the temple and animal sacrifices, and the law covenant etc as the way of true worship. But when the Romans came and destroyed Jerusalem and its temple, the temple was never rebuilt, and animal sacrifices etc were done away with. That form of worship never coming into existence again, as the way to get an approved relationship with God. So the phrase, "but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire," I don't believe means, that persons will literally be burned in literal unquenchable fire, and that they will literally be in literal torment because of some literal fire. I know that others believe that to be true and that's their choice, but I disagree that the scriptures Matthew 3:12; Revelation 20:10; Revelation 14:10-11 teaches that.
says those who were not saved, the anti-christ, false prophet, and Satan will be tormented forever. Read these scriptures
