According to the Bible, the wages of sin is death. (Rom 6:23)
Let's say somebody tells 50 lies in their lifetime. That's 50 counts of
dishonesty; each one punishable by death.
In order to satisfy justice for each of those 50 lies, it would be necessary for
the liar to undergo death 50 times. Well; according to Dan 12:2 and John
5:28-29 there's only one resurrection allotted per person. So the serial liar
will be stuck with a pretty large balance of lies on the books for which he has
no lives remaining to settle his debts.
Death is the ideal justice for liars: it's quick, and it's over, and done with. But
seeing as how that's not possible for serial liars, then the only other option is
perpetual death.
†. Rev 21:8 . . But as for deceivers of every sort, their lot is in the burning
pool of fire and sulfur, which is the second death.
The human body is organic. It will not survive for very long in that pool.
However, human existence isn't entirely organic. There's an element to
human existence called the breath of life (Gen 2:7). The breath of life isn't
atmospheric gases. It's that part of human existence that makes it possible
for humans to be sentient beings instead of vegetables.
Now the interesting thing about the breath of life is that it's transferable.
For example: when Abraham, Lazarus, and the rich man of Luke 16:19-31
passed away, they all left their organic bodies behind, yet on the other side
they remain sentient.
I don't know for sure what kind of a body they have on the other side, but
one thing I do know is that their identities have not changed: Abraham is
still Abraham, Lazarus is still Lazarus, and the rich man is still the rich man;
and that's because they kept their breath of life when they crossed over to
the other side.
God plans to destroy people's bodies and souls in hell (Matt 10:28). But to
my knowledge, He has no plans to destroy their breath of life. The anti-hell
people floating in and out around here are going to find that out for
themselves soon enough.
