Mortals versus Immortals

All that is true in human sense constitutes the appearing of immortal man, who is forever safe.

Revelation 20 : 14, 15 “And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”

Verses 14 and 15 refer to the complete destruction of evil…

In verse 15 we are taught that the mortal or false factor of every man’s consciousness “was not found written in the book of life” and so “was cast into the lake of fire”, along with general evil, to be destroyed. “Mortals” are constituted of the false factors in the mentalities of human beings, while “immortals” are the true factor, the knowledge of truth, in the mentalities of men. All “immortals” are eternally safe, because they have part in the reflection of the one Mind, which is forever. All “mortals”, all false mentalities or beliefs of falsehood, are predestined to be destroyed. This is the true doctrine of predestination. …

Revelation 2 : 7 “To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.” The one who heeds this message, and overcomes the difficulty of giving his attention to spiritual things only, or very largely so, …can have part in the millennium. Over such, “the second death”, the final destruction of evil, has no power, St. John tells us; for there is nothing evil in them to be hurt or destroyed. He who conquers his attention, who brings it into the undivided service of God, is promised immortality, “the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.”
