Still you have not answered, using a scripture, my original question.
You just keep saying that I don't understand, or I wrongly assume...
What causes these, who are cast into the lake of fire, to continue to exist forever and ever, if it is not eternal life?
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.
If you can't give an explanation, with scripture, as to why these who have been cast into the lake of fire continue to exist apart from eternal life, then just say like Chessman, I don't know.
Eternal beings, are eternal, because God has granted to them to be eternal.
Angels are called sons of God.
Some angels, lost their place with God, and were cast down to hell.
Sons of God were cast into hell.
Sons of God will be cast into the lake of fire, as well.
They will continue to exist there, forever, being tormented day and night with no rest.
JLB
Matt 25:46~~"These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
Acts 24:15~~having a hope in God, which these men cherish themselves, that there shall certainly be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.
John 3:36~~"He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."
The wrath and Judgement of God sustains them in their God given resurrection existence of spiritual DEATH.
