NASB | Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 21:8 "But as for the cowards and unbelieving and abominable [who are devoid of character and personal integrity and practice or tolerate immorality], and murderers, and sorcerers [with intoxicating drugs], and idolaters and occultists [who practice and teach false religions], and all the liars [who knowingly deceive and twist truth], their part will be in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." |
Bible Question: Thanks Tim! Is the 2nd death spiritual or physical? I'm having difficulty with accepting it as spiritual death because I understand that non-bleievers are already spiritually dead? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Toto! Since the "second death" is speaking of Hell, I would say that it is more spiritual than physical. Most who are thrown into the lake of fire have already died physically, while some may have still been alive. I think the key point is that this will be an eternal seperation from God.
