Hi J____,
Go to Archive 3 and read the very first letter entitled Fallen Angels, Spirits In Prison, And The Woman And Manchild Of Revelation 12. This letter will answer answer your first question.
Your second question is:
Also, when death and hell are cast into the lake of fire... Hell is the imperceptible? And death will be no more. So God does away with both of them. What does this mean?
What this means is that all men of all time are given life after they have endured the 'lake of fire.' For more on exactly what the lake of fire is, please read:
Lake Of Fire Revealed In Genesis
If these letters do not satisfy your questions, let me know.

Mike! Thank you!!!
Can you answer these questions for me with the shortest and best explanation. I would greatly appreciate it!!
- Are heaven and hell physical places? yes or no
No.
- If no, what brings you to that conclusion?
- 1 Cor 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.
- 1 Cor 15:45
- And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
- How does one get saved from their sins?
By being drug to God, by the sovereign work of God.
- John 6:44
- No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw [Greek- drag] him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
- What happens to me if I do not accept Jesus into my life?
You will come up in the "great white throne judgment" to be cast into God's purifying 'lake of fire.' Once this fire purifies you, you will enter into God's rest, which is Christ.
- Will I go to/ burn in hell for this non-acceptance?
You will indeed have all the "wood, hay and stubble" burned out of you. This is accomplished in what is figuratively called a lake of fire.
- Will this hell be for eternity? yes or no
No.
- If no, what brings you to that conclusion?
- 1 John 2:2
- And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
You mentioned "As the Scriptures do not contain the word 'eternal' or its equivalent, I can't give you a Scriptural definition of eternity." If you cannot give such, what brings you to believe that eternity does not exist?
Show me where I ever said eternity does not exist.
- Is the bible as it is written today in the KJV wrong? yes or no
There is no such thing as a perfect translation of anything.
- If no, why not?
Languages do not translate perfectly literally from one to another.
- Is the devil real, or is the devil symbolic of all evil?
Real.
- Since God lives outside of space and time, is he considered to be eternal?
Yes.
Thanks Mike and God Bless YOU !!!!!
