Isaiah 65:25
"The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD."
Looks like the Serpent has a place in Heaven after all.

The verse does not state that at all. Again, the verse is literal. You cannot accept that.
Let's look at that verse again and compare it to another verse. They mean the same.
Matthew 23:15 - Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
THE CHILD OF HELL, not the child born in hell.

Also...
John 8:44
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Jesus often referred to the unsaved as being children of the devil or hell, but that does not mean that we were all born FROM him. We are children of God, but that doesn't mean we came out of Jesus Christs' womb either.
Come on!

If the Heavens and Earth that we are residing in now will pass away, then what becomes of Satan and every other Living Thing? Obviously, they will have no place to exist in.
Hello! Jesus created one place for the Devil and his followers...and another one for his own followers...
Matthew 25:41 - 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

John 14:2-4 - In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
Remember, those that are thrown into the Lake of Fire *pass through it* per the Word of God.
Everlasting Punishment (correction) is where we are now...
Matthew 25:46
"And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal."

Believe it or not, Uncle Mikey used to be a pastor in my state and belonged to the same denomination I did before he took a wild turn. I'm hoping he has just temporarily lost his way.

Then he is intentionally twisting the Scriptures which is demonic.
He walks in darkness and now works for Satan.
Leave him to his own devices.

** You must have been reading that OTHER "Christian Bible". I haven't seen that one.
The verses you posted support my OP.
Yes, the Unsaved are thrown into the Lake of Fire, i.e., reincarnation back here again.
The Saved enter into Eternal Life, i.e., the New Heavens and New Earth. Eternal Life is a *location*.
The phrase 'Son of Gehenna' is just as literal as 'Son of God' or 'Son of Man'...
Matthew 23:15 (Berean Literal Bible)
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you traverse the sea and the dry land to make one convert, and whenever it may happen, you make him twofold more a son of Gehenna than yourselves."
That was Jesus who said that. Children are born from Gehenna and the 'Lowest Parts of the Earth'...

I actually dreamed I was in hell last night, standing on a cliff looking down over all the fire and torture. I realized, "wait, I'm not religious! I don't believe in 'Hell', and that caused me to wake up."
No one is exempt.
I am not a former Pastor. I got my silly name from an old cartoon. I have noticed that 'Uncle Mikey' returns a lot of results in the search engines. Too many Mikes out there I suppose.

Twist it all you want, but the Bible tells us that God did make us from the DUST OF THE EARTH, but that doesn't make us the literal seed of Satan conceived in the bowels of hell. We weren't conceived by an evil spirit the same way that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit. Adam and Eve were made perfect before they sinned and got kicked out of the Garden of Eden.
