It's vague indeed but it doesn't deny it's FOREVER! No matter how many JW's TWIST the Hell out of the Bible! Even the JW bible says you're WRONG!
First of all Jack you said:
So why were you evading them? They all agree, Hell Fire is EVERLASTING!
And I just proved that they do not all agree. Furthermore an age is not forever and ages are not forever.

Also the lake of fire is never called hell fire in any translation that I am aware of.

Why didn't the translators call the lake of fire hell, Jack.

No proof, just your BIASED JW opinion.

I hope you don't get there to find out you're ETERNALLY wrong!

Better question. Why are you playing JW word games?

Hell Fire will be cast into the Lake of Fire including BILLIONS of humans in Hell, not destroyed. Fire doesn't destroy fire!

Geez, Jack if you believe an age is forever I'm sure you could be convinced that an hour, day, month or year is also forever.

Say, I've got some seeds I can send you. They grow into this giant beanstalk.........Jack.

Nearly every English Bible says "FOREVER and EVER". Even the JW bible!

Your JW opinions do not overrule the Bible!

I'm sure "nearly every" means "every" in your book just like "ages" means "forever" but it just ain't so.

I rarely read the NWT.
I believe Christ is God and I don't subscribe the doctrine of annihilation.
So wrong again Jack.

Ages does not mean forever! By any stretch of imagination.

So you believe in EVERLASTING Hell Fire, as Jesus taught?

Satan LOVES it when his messengers convince people there is no EVERLASTING Fire!
do notice That same man NEVER bothers to preach THE ONLY NAME that could have saved them
with the dire reminder YE MUST BELIEVE ON HIM . HE always comes to plant doubts .
Many come to lead us away from THE TRUE FAITH
and into some other kind of hope . the sheep dont bite that line of dung either .
STAY in the bible jack , no matter who accuses us of bibolatry or what ever else they accuse us of .
ITS THEY WHO ADD TO and TAKE FROM . and i read what is written in revelation
to those who do such a thing . LAKE OF FIRE is their final resting place , though they wont find rest in that place .
STAY in the bible . preach ONLY JESUS , HIS words , that doctrine and offer no false hope to anyone
as do many .

Hello amigo de christo.

And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD. (John 4:42)

And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD. (John 4:14)

So, do you "BELIEVE ON HIM" or do you believe on some other (j)esus that will burn most of his creation in some hellhole?

Jesus didn't teach that. Poor translators and the church did, crucifying him all over again.
Jesus didn't teach EVERLASTING Hell Fire? Every English Bible says you're wrong.

Now you're just flat out lying Jack.

John 8:44
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Revelation 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

You might want to stop lying; just a thought.

Is that a confession?

See how God made you admit Hell Fire is true!

Name an English Bible that doesn't warn us of Hell Fire! Even the JW bible teaches Hell Fire, and they don't believe their own bible!

Luke 16:19-28 (YLT)
19 the rich man died, and was buried;
23 and in the hades having lifted up his eyes, being in torments, he doth see Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom,
24 and having cried, he said, Father Abraham, deal kindly with me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and may cool my tongue, because I am distressed in this flame.
25 `And Abraham said, Child, remember that thou did receive--thou--thy good things in thy life, and Lazarus in like manner the evil things, and now he is comforted, and thou art distressed;
26 and besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that they who are willing to go over from hence unto you are not able, nor do they from thence to us pass through.
27 `And he said, I pray thee, then, father, that thou mayest send him to the house of my father,
28 for I have five brothers, so that he may thoroughly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.

That is a parable Jack.

"Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Same people one chapter later -

Rev 22:15 Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

They are still pretty much alive.
These folks are spiritually dead and have not yet been resurrected.

God's elect are kings and priests.


And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father;- (Rev 1:6)

Who do we suppose God's elect are reigning over and ministering to?

Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. (Rev 22:15)

Two verses later we read:

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. (Verse 17)

Who are we to believe Christ and his elect, his bride, are speaking to if everyone has been annihilated or is burning in hell?

These too are God's elect:


Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: (Psalm 104:4)

Very FEW in this age will every recieve the Christ given sight to see the connection between these verses and what, no - WHO - the lake of fire is.

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Mar 7:14)

Peace.

Meaning second death means the same as the first death A&E faced, separation from the presence of the Lord.

Give it a thought."
It's important to read it in context

Verse 12 tells us;

12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.​
So are we to assume that he comes a third time?

It's likely Revelation (like the rest of the NT) was written before AD 70

Rev 11:1 Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, “Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there,
Rev 11:2 but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for forty-two months.

Revelation speaks about the future (4:1) but in chapter 11 the temple is still in place, and the siege for Jerusalem by the Romans started in AD 66 and lasted forty-two months.

No it isn't. Parables don't use literal Biblical people, Moses, Abraham, Lazarus!!!

BILLIONS in Hell will wish it was a parable!
