He meant that when you died his father would order a stone tombstone to mark your grave with your name on it. The "memory" (spirit) of you would last foever because your name was carved in marbel or granite. That is the spirit life Jesus promised you.

Hardly, that's just wrong. I hope you're not one of the people mentioned in verse 8.
Revelation 21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
5 He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." 6 He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son.
8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

No, not at all.
He promised eternal life and life-everlasting, first, to his spirit anointed brothers and then to those "other sheep" which are not of that fold, the anointed.
In other words, there will be everlasting perfect life right here on earth for the "other" sheep.
The spirit-anointed ones are bought from the earth to reign with him, Jesus, in God's heavenly Kingdom government.
There are those, the other sheep, who will "Pass Over" from this, Satan's system of things, at Armageddon, into the new system of things which belongs to Yahwah God.
God did not create the earth for nothing.
He created the earth for man and man for the earth--it's in the Bible.
God is Perfect and He could create nothing less than perfection---endless life---it is Satan that temporarily took that away from us and boy, is he having his day!!
Jehovah's (Yahwah's) Witnesses have the TRUTH!!

No, he promises eternal life, peace within here on earth and a greater blessing to be with him now and forever. No matter what comes your way he lives inside of you to weather all storms.
