God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; - 2 Peter 2

And so we have an old world filled with millions of people and millions of rebellious angels... And only eight humans survived it. Was this fair to all those who did not survive it? Why not strive to live like Noah and figure all that out in the afterlife?

Matches!

You're the one claiming man is not a spirit, not me.

Of course , because I know the difference between “IS” a spirit And “HAS” a spirit.
Men HAVE a spirit.

One has to ignore portions of scripture come come up with that

Your body, your soul, your spirit, are expressly distinct parts of the Whole of “A” man.

God “IS” A Spirit.
God “HAS” a Body.
God “HAS” a Soul.
God “HAS” seven Spirits.

Angels “ARE” Spirits.
Angels “HAVE” a Body.
Angels “HAVE” a Soul.

Men “ARE” a Body.
Men “HAVE” a Soul.
Men “HAVE” a Spirit.

Animals “ARE” a Body.
Animals “HAVE” a Soul.

A man to be IN Gods IMAGE … is to have a Body, with head, trunk, arms, legs, walk upright.

To be in Gods likeness is to “HAVE…”
a body, a soul, a spirit…. Which ONLY applies God and Humans.

You should learn the meaning of those pesky “little words”…
Ex: of, is, as, has, have, are…

And learn, “WHAT” a body, a soul, a spirit of a man…
“IS” …

And “WHAT” “IS”
the Life OF the body of man,
the Life OF the soul of man,
and Life OF the spirit of man.

Primarily Because…
God does not desire men to be Ignorant.

No…
“everlasting Fire”, speaks of a fire that is never quenched.
Bingo!
WHAT is “thrown into that Fire”…
Is the POINT.

Three Things…shall be thrown into THAT Fire.

1) All “WORKS”, that did NOT Glorify God.
Burned up, forgotten.

2) All “Fallen Angels”.
They suffer in torments forever…
So you just proved EVERASTING FIRE! The exact same fate for BILLIONS of humans.

Matthew 25:41
41 Then He will also say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:
Revelation 20:10

10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
BECAUSE… they ARE “spirits that can NEVER die”.
They suffer torments… Because THEY ARE ALIVE. They can not burn up!

3) All dead lifeless Body’s of men, their Lifeless soul, ( who were NEVER given a born again (everliving spirit)…
Their Lifeless body…
Their Lifeless soul…
Feels Nothing, IS Burned up, Destroyed, Forgotten.

Lifeless Bodys and Souls FEELS, Knows, Nothing!

Ever seen a Lifeless Dead Human Body in Pain, Torments?
You gave ZERO Scripture. Why would Jesus make up HORROR stories?

Luke 16:22-28 The rich man died and was buried. 23 And being in torments in Hell, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 Then he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

The rich man died physically but was very much alive in Hell Fire!

That just proved… a Fact about “the Fire”.

41 Then He will also say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:

Yes. Their “Judgement and Sentence” is Pronounced.”

10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

Yes, the devil, the beast, the false prophet “Are already (before any manKIND), in the fire, shall remain ALIVE in the fire forever, suffering torments forever.”

In Scripture…Humans / mankind, are Not Mentioned, suffering torments forever…

Why do you ADD to Scripture, what is Not there?

You gave ZERO Scripture.

Because there ARE no Scriptures of Humans Suffering Torments in a Fire forever!

Why would Jesus make up HORROR stories?

Jesus didn’t make up any stories…You did!

Luke 16:22-28 The rich man died and was buried. 23 And being in torments in Hell, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 Then he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

The Rich man…
His body was DEAD and buried (not in hell).
His departed (out of his dead body) unsaved Living Soul was in hell, suffering torments.

His departed soul, shall remain (temporarily)in torments…
Until Judgement Day.

Judgement shall be Pronounced.
Then … Shall the Life of his Soul…( which IS Gods Breath, Belongs to God, shall Return to God…)

And what REMAINS of that Man?

A Dead Body… no Life.
A Dead Soul… no Life
A Dead “natural Spirit”…No born again Life.

Do tell… where Scripture Teaches the DEAD, know, feel, suffer, Anything…

But I agree " “everlasting Fire”, speaks of a fire that is never quenched."

It's FOREVER!

Rev 20 They will be tormented day and night FOREVER!
Yes. Their “Judgement and Sentence” is Pronounced.”
Yeah, FOREVER in the fire.
Yes, the devil, the beast, the false prophet “Are already (before any manKIND), in the fire, shall remain ALIVE in the fire forever, suffering torments forever.”

In Scripture…Humans / mankind, are Not Mentioned, suffering torments forever…

See above!
Jesus didn’t make up any stories…You did!
I quoted Jesus. Blame Him.
The Rich man…
His body was DEAD and buried (not in hell).
His departed (out of his dead body) unsaved Living Soul was in hell, suffering torments.
He died but was quite alive SCREAMING and CRYING for mercy. But he won't get any mercy.
His departed soul, shall remain (temporarily)in torments…
Until Judgement Day.

Judgement shall be Pronounced.
Then … Shall the Life of his Soul…( which IS Gods Breath, Belongs to God, shall Return to God…)

And what REMAINS of that Man?

A Dead Body… no Life.
A Dead Soul… no Life
A Dead “natural Spirit”…No born again Life.

I just did. I quoted Jesus. Luke 16

Why would Jesus warn us of THE FIRE so many times???

You can quote Scripture all day long…

If you do not Understand Scripture…You will have the Truth, but know not what it means…

The devil and his Angels “ARE” Spirits, they can NOT Die. They suffer torments IN fire FOREVER… because they can NOT Die!

Now what about Humans?
Do their Bodies, Ever suffer…( temporarily or forever torments IN Hell? )
Temporarily, yes.
Forever, No.


Scripture teaches Human body’s Life is Blood…

Scripture teaches WHEN the Blood, stops moving, pumping the heart, or the Blood is Drained from a Body, the body becomes mortally Dead.
Scripture Teaches, mortally Dead Bodys are Buried, eaten by animals, return to dust.

Living Souls Depart OUT of Dead Bodys…
It is the “Unsaved Departed Living Souls that are SENT to Hell Temporarily”. Many UN-saved living souls have been in hell for centuries.

They like everyone else…Alive bodily men, Saved living souls… unsaved souls…holy angels….are All waiting for Judgement Day.

Judgement Day is the day Everyone is Judged… for their Belief And their Works.

All have their “Sentence” rendered to them.

There after “God Departs all Life” (which belongs to Him), from OUT of UN-saved Souls, and takes and keeps that LIFE unto Himself.

Guess what… a mans body without Blood, a mans Soul without Gods Breath, a mans natural spirit without Gods Seed…. “IS”???

Seems you do Not know…
It IS a Lifeless Body, Lifeless Soul, Lifeless Spirit…
And disposed of, thrown into Flames of Fire, that shall Burn up, return to Dust, be remembered NO More…

If Dead Bodys of man, could feel torment, pain, discomfort…

Don’t you think there would be an uproar regarding the thousands of Dead Human Bodys that are daily, autopsied, cremated, buried, eaten by animals???

God is Just.
God is Graceful.
God removes His Life from an UN-Saved Soul…. To END, that souls (Temporary) suffering.

God NEVER gives to an UN-saved mans natural spirit a born again spirit that (can Never die)…

That Would be cruel to manKIND… to cause human men to Remain Alive and Suffer Forever.

That is Not the case…
UN-saved Lifeless Bodys, Lifeless Souls, Non-born again spirits of Humans…
Are burned up, destroyed, in the Fire … return to Dust

They are wholly, Body, Soul, Spirit…DEAD!
Not forever living as you imply, and suffering Forever.

Scriptural study, teaches the knowledge.
God gives the understand of the Knowledge.
You are relying on a false understanding…

That is also NOT “reasonable” to believe Dead humans will remain Intact, remain alive and suffer torments in a fire forever.

Humans “living or dead” burn up, become dead, in a fire.

So? You quoted Scripture…but don’t understand it….

The Rich man died and WAS BURIED
Do you think men bury bodies of Dead men IN HELL?..
Explain, How, you reason, a dead body buried in a Grave, goes / gets to Hell, becomes Alive and Suffers forever…
Or a dead body, goes from a grave to Hell, and suffers, if that body remains Dead.

You highlighted the man was Dead… but… skipped over his body was buried…. But somehow you have him suffering torments forever.

?

You conveniently omitted the FACT that he died but was still alive in THE FIRE that Jesus mentioned several times.

Same exact punishment?

How so…?

Unsaved Men are DEAD
Fallen Angels are ALIVE

Really? If you beat a dead horse or an alive horse…
Each horse SUFFERS, the Same PAIN, TORMENTS ?

:rolleyes:


No they do Not!

False claim.

I expressly Mentioned… the Whole of a man…
Body, Soul, Spirit… and exactly what becomes of Each part of the Whole of man, that is Saved or Unsaved.

You say… vaguely… he, the man… ignoring… the whole of man, and each individual life…
Of a mans body
Of a mans soul
Of a mans spirit

Why continue to be vague…?
Speak to what becomes of Each part of A whole man.

No Scripture? I have lots! Jesus warned us several times of THE FIRE! "Death" NEVER means 'cease to exist' in the Bible'! NEVER! Hell Fire is FOREVER!

Men HAVE a spirit.

Yes and sadly your claim is that God LIED when He said He created man in His Own Image.

God's Word says God is a Spirit so when God said He created man in His Own Image that means God created man like He is.

Only those who disregard the Word of the Lord cannot understand this.


A man to be IN Gods IMAGE … is to have a Body, with head, trunk, arms, legs, walk upright.

That's your problem right there, you are carnal minded and only understand the things of the flesh

I sure hope you grow up someday and quit being carnal


No Scripture? I have lots! Jesus warned us several times of THE FIRE! "Death" NEVER means 'cease to exist' in the Bible'! NEVER! Hell Fire is FOREVER!

Some among us are yet carnal and as such they cannot understand God's Word which is spiritually discerned

Their spirit guides have them blinded to spiritual things so they can only think in terms if carnal minded understanding.

Sure Hell has fire, and is unpleasantly Hot For ANY “Living” Thing IN Hell EVER experiencing such.

Not news… not rejected.
Unsaved LIVING souls shall experience The Heat. From fires in Hell…Temporarily!!

And THAT ^ is NOT the experience of a man, being THROWN INTO a fire.


"Death" NEVER means 'cease to exist' in the Bible'! NEVER! Hell Fire is FOREVER!

Death in context has several meanings…
From “separation from God”… to Ending of Life…to a body no longer a body, but returned to dust.
