Our soul is quite valuable, but our soul is NOT immortal without Christ.
1 Cor. 15:53 “For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.”
We “put on immortality” when we accept Jesus’s immortality through faith.
The souls of the unsaved will be destroyed in the Lake of Fire. That is the “Second Death”.
Rev. 20:11-15
Scubie, Thanks for commenting. Your own tagline is a testimony to my point that both the saved and lost last forever. The destruction of the unsaved shall last forever, to meet the demands of infinite Justice.
I concur. John 3:16 "...shall not perish..." Rev 20:14 "...the lake of fire. This is the second death..." Psalm 92:7 "...their end may be eternal destruction..."
To reinterpret these and other verses to mean eternal life in a tormented state separate from God is inventive, to say the least. The human soul is not immortal, for God alone is immortal - 1 Timothy 6:16.
The worm never dies and the fire is never quenched...how can this be if the souls no longer exist?
“And these will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,” (2 Thess. 1:9).
“Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example, in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire” (Jude 7).
“These men are those who are hidden reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, doubly dead, uprooted; 13 wild waves of the sea, casting up their own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever,” (Jude 1:12-13)
“And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.” (Rev 14:11)
