What Loss do Spirit Beings in the Lake of Fire Suffer?

Here is the verse that tells us that those bodies in the lake of fire are spiritual bodies:

1Co 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

Just like Satan, however, it is a spiritual body with “terrestrial glory” and with a carnal mind which is “enmity against God”.

Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

It is true that if we are in the flesh we cannot please God.

Rom 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Rom 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

Just as we can be “in the spirit if the spirit of Christ is in us”, it is equally true that we can be carnally minded and in rebellion against God if the spirit of our father the devil is in us, even as in spirits in the lake of fire.

While it is true that spiritual bodies can and do appear as “flesh and bone” that is only true when there is a need for such. That need will exist during the thousand years, but there will be no need for physical bodies to appear to spiritual bodies in the lake of fire.

I do not believe you will find anywhere that I have ever written that we will have physical bodies in the lake of fire following the thousand year period of ruling with Christ.

I hope this is all of some help in understanding the invisible things of God by the things that are made.

Your brother in Christ,
Mike
