Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
God is not a vain God. These words are not here just for jokes and laughs and for people to make there own decisions. This is exactly why Adam and Eve are dead today becasue they were hard headed and didn't listen.
I read so many lies on this thing, I figured I would put a little bit of real truth in here. If anyone can prove different let me know because I really would like to know the truh.
Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this [is] the whole [duty] of man

It looks like you're quoting the Bible or something. I wouldn't let that bother you kid.

Perhaps you missed it's all die in Adam or all live in Christ (1Cor 15), the former worded an as if, the latter worded as a question. Not to mention "all die" in first or last "Adam"; And Pauline mention it's by using of ordinances all perish (Col 2: 20-22).
Perhaps you've been listening to, believing oxymoronic lies of they sayers say you too can have partiality with an impartial God; When it's flat out stated there is no respect of persons with God, nor with Son of God, and even the Herodians knew that much.
Perhaps you missed converted Peter's mention of "and" 1000 yrs as 1 day (2Pet 3:8); Perhaps Rev 20's 1000 yrs being as 1 day called Easter which Peter(only man called Satan in Bible) spent chained in prison, in Acts 12.
Perhaps you missed Solomon's Ecclesiastical mention all works of law done under the sun, including his works, are "all vanity and vexation of spirit".
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

The truth is that truth and belief are not the same thing. You believe what you've written is true, but I believe otherwise. Some agree with you, some somewhat agree with both of us, others agree with me.
Here's quote from a highly interesting priest who received Shiho:
"To 'know' that what you believe is absolutely 100% now-and-forever utterly and completely True is the sickest, most vile, and most foul perversion of everything worthwhile in humanity, of all that is right in the world. Truth can never be found in mere belief. Belief is restricted. Truth is boundless."
I believe this. I do not think this is the Truth, but I believe that it's true.
You believe what the man wrote about 2,000 years ago, when the Earth was flat and everything revolved around it. I don't believe him and I have no cause to. He might be your truth, but he is my lies.
You can chalk your question to yet another lie written on the subject of the second death. Why is it a lie? Your truth is not universal, it's only true within your belief and belief is not truth.

confident the soul survives. White Rabbit that's no longer precisely stunning the soul is launch after the cycle of reincarnation even nonetheless it nevertheless survives and could become area of the eternal. yet maximum Buddhism sees this as a thank you to acquire enlightenment via breaking the cycle yet then they are able again decrease back back as Buddhas to help different gain enlightenment. the perception interior the Dalai Lama as a incarnation of the Buddha of Compassion is one occasion of returning when you have broiken the cycle.

What is a 'soul'?
If it's postulated that consciousness, or awareness, or sense of self resides in the soul, it's difficult to see how this can be reconciled with the complete oblivion which accompanies general anaesthesia. How could a straightforward chemical, injected into the bloodstream, anaesthetise a soul so that it effectively ceases to exist during this time? If consciousness, in the form of a soul, were some kind of supernatural faculty, it would seem implausible that it could be completely disabled by a chemical.
How about some of the other things which we regard as essential parts of what makes a person what they are? How about love, compassion, reason, empathy, memory, conscious thought, character, 'spirituality' and so on? Well, there is really no plausible doubt that all these things are properties of the physical brain - We can alter all of these properties very simply with alcohol or other drugs, and observe how they change in people who have suffered significant brain damage. Previously placid people become uncontrollably violent, intelligent people become imbeciles, and so on. Stimulate the brain artificially, and the subject reports corresponding mental activity, e.g. 'religious experiences'. We can see from brain research that all these things - thought, emotion, sensation, character traits and so on - are correlated with activity in the brain, and some things can be identified with specific areas of the brain.
So, if all these faculties and characteristics of what we regard as the 'person' reside in the physical brain, as seems to be undeniably the case, and they all cease when the person dies, then what is left to be attributed to a 'soul'? As far as I can ascertain: Nothing. If there is no part of us that can continue after death, then there is no 'afterlife'... and if there is no afterlife, then most of religion is null and void.

my answer is another question but i'm genuinely interested, maybe you can enlighten me and inspire me to do more reading. Do you take Revelations literally? What was the process by which it became part of the new testament? What about other apocalypses - why is this the only one that made the Bible?

Read The Power of Now by Ekhart Tolle. It will answer every question you've ever needed. Just put the Bible down for a little while & pick it back up after you read TPoN.
