??????

I posted one of the verses which state that we take on immortality when we “take on” Christ. If you have a problem with that then either post verses which contradict that or just learn to live with the realization that only those who accept Christ will live forever. Those who don’t will be destroyed in the Lake of Fire (second death-Revelation 20:14).

...Rev 20:13-15
(13) And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
(14) And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
(15) And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
...

I don’t see they are destroyed, rather they are cast into the Lake of Fire.

Verse 20 though seems to describe the consequence of being placed in the Lake of Fire.

Rev 20:10
(10) And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

This indicates to me that the soul cast there isn’t destroyed, but is tormented eternally.
