This question exists on both sides of the Annihilation debate. Either side acknowledges that those without their names in the Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire. (Rev 20:15). I understand that they are consumed, whilst you assert they exist in immortal bodily life being punished for eternity. I have no idea how those tossed in will be punished, or how long it lasts. It is nowhere spelt out in scripture, nor do I see a need for conjecture on the point. As Paul said in 1 Cor 4:6 " "Do not go beyond what is written."".
Okay, here is what is written:
“And that slave who knew his master’s will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes, 48 but the one who did not know it, and committed deeds worthy of a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more.”
So here you have a slave who knew his master’s will & did not do it, & he will receive many lashes. You also have a slave who did not know the master’s will & who committed deeds worthy of a flogging, the result being that he will receive a much lighter punishment than the first slave.
That’s what is written. It doesn’t fit in with annihilation at all. There’s no indication that the first slave will be lashed to death. Certainly the second won’t. In fact, this picture of judgment, painted by Jesus Himself, excludes annihilation as an option. I.e.: there’s no indication that the floggings, or the punishment they represent, will precede a death sentence.
You don’t have to go beyond what is written to see that the Bible does not support the annihilation theory.
Also, why, under Calvinism, would one damned/unelected individual be deemed far more culpable than another? Is that not in and of itself incompatible with Calvinism?
