I say that because the only thing that is destroyed at the end of the Millennium during the Great Throne Judgment is the Soul, not the flesh body. That is why it is known as the second death. <br /><br />In Acts 2:31, though, it is Hades:<br /><br />"He seeing this before, spake of the resurrection of Christ, that His soul was not left in HELL, neither His flesh did see corruption."<br /><br />Hell, like the words Easter and Fornication, shouldn't even be in the Bible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
