Opening Remarks in Debate on Hell with Chris Date

The second death will be suffered in both body and soul by the reprobate for all eternity. The following is a Scriptural outline of some of the key verses that teach this important doctrine.

In short summary, here is the argument.

Two Resurrections
There will be two resurrections, one of which (the resurrection of the righteous) is better than the other (the resurrection of damnation).

John 5:29

And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life (ἀνάστασιν ζωῆς); and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation (ἀνάστασιν κρίσεως).

Hebrews 11:35

Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection (κρείττονος ἀναστάσεως):

Conventional Death will be No More

1 Corinthians 15:26, 42, 52, and 54

The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

...

So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

...

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

...

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

Isaiah 25:8

He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.

Isaiah 65:19-20

And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.

The World will Face Judgment including those already Conventionally Dead

Acts 17:31

Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

Revelation 11:18

And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged (ὁ καιρὸς τῶν νεκρῶν κριθῆναι), and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

For the Wicked (but not the Righteous) there is a Second Death

Revelation 20:6

Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death (ὁ δεύτερος θάνατος) hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

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 (ὁ θάνατος ὁ δεύτερος).

The Punishment of the Second Death is Both Physical and Psychological

Matthew 18:8-9

Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire (τὸ πῦρ τὸ αἰώνιον). And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire (τὴν γέενναν τοῦ πυρός).

Daniel 12:2

And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life (לְחַיֵּי עוֹלָם)(LXX: ζωὴν αἰώνιον), and some to shame and everlasting contempt (לְדִרְאוֹן עוֹלָֽם)(LXX: αἰσχύνην αἰώνιον).

The Duration of the Second Death is Eternal

Hebrews 6:2

Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

Matthew 25:46

And these shall go away into everlasting punishment (κόλασιν αἰώνιον): but the righteous into life eternal (ζωὴν αἰώνιον).

Revelation 19:3

And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.

Revelation 14:11

And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Isaiah 34:14

It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.

These are the Scriptures and arguments I intend to set forth when I debate Chris Date (Lord willing, later this month).  I welcome my readers' comments and suggestions.
