      [continued from previous message]              > can testify.”—Letter, December8, 1950, from Edgar J.Goodspeed,       > translator of the Greek “New Testament” in An American Translation."       > (g87.3/22, p.14)              The version of the JW bible reviewed back then is far different of the       current version. And in fact 20 years ago you did not tout the NW nor the NWT       but a version of the NIV being modified per your doctrinal beliefs of the JW.       The open history, or the one made possible by search engines that us AI bear       this out.              So you might want to clarify that to your leaders. Even if they shut down       their websites purge it, “clean it up” to match with their current       thought, it has been scrubbed by AI search engines and all archived in       multiple places.With all pertinent data so as to verify the authenticity of       its originations.       >       >       > >       > > >       > > >       > > > As for the Lake of Fire, death is tossed in it, along with hell.       > > > (hades) To try to torture death and hell is a waste of time.

ITS       > ALL SYMBOLISM, which is what the Book of Revelation is all about.              Sorry for you bubba, but not only their names are reference but are       referenced as “they”.              Is Jesus riding on a white horse just a symbolic figure that bears no       resemblance to reality? Is Jesus not a real being?       >       >       > > >       > > >       > > > And the Bible even tells us what it represents, what it is a symbol       > > > of, what it equals, what it stands for, what it portrays: THE SECOND       > > > DEATH.

It has been pointed out, to       you, from the Holy Scriptures that you personally reject. And it has been       pointed out to you frequently. Even recently, and yet you continue on in your       unfounded, per God, false beliefs.       >       >       > The first death is the death we all inherited from Adam, We all die.              Nope, we all are the walking dead, those who have not been redeemed. At the       moment Adam ate of the forbidden fruit, he isolated himself from the kingdom       of God via his disobedience. He gave up his rights to control his domain to       satan.              Your first death is physical, a separation of yourself from the living       realities of this world. You spirit then goes to its future holding place.       Whether it be heaven or hell. And I am speaking of ones body being buried in       a grave. Per the proper greek verbiage.              Later, those spirits that died before the return of Christ, will at his       return be given a new and final body, like that of Jesus. Restored to a       complete being. Those in the holding place in the pits of the earth, who       currently dwell with demons are all under the control of Satan.              At the end of this earth, coinciding with the final resurrection of those       that are in hell will be resurrected and brought before the white throne       judgment and Judged By Jesus and all whose names are not written in the book       of life are tossed into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, that is the second       death. Wherein they are totally and eternally isolated from God. It is what       would be called their spiritual death.              It is appointed unto man once to die and then the judgment/       >       >       > > The second death is a place created for Satan and all his angels       > > for their final dwelling place and because of sin, men will go there as       > > well,       > > all those whose names are not written in the book of Life.

Jesus made it very clear to those       without understanding that when he said asleep they could not understand what       he meant, the same as your are doing, and so he stated plainly in words those       who were not spiritual could understand,.....

Questioning       me as to how I know that the Holy Spirit of God dwells in me of is it “Holy       Satan”? There is no such thing as “Holy Satan” and that kind of a       statement only proves that you cannot differentiate the difference between       the Being of God or Satan.
