Will the mind, will, and emotion (personality) last forever or eventually disappear?

The mind, will, and emotion—the personality—will last forever. It was created by God and is spirit, so it does not disappear after a set time. Scripture speaks of the wicked enduring forever and ever; annihilation is not taught. This personality lives somewhere eternally.

Les explains that this mind, will, and emotion was created in Adam and came straight from the Creator Himself. Because it is spirit, not physical, it will not last only a hundred or two hundred years and disappear; it will last forever. That personality is going to live somewhere forever. Even though the lake of fire itself will not be living, those there will not end. Les warns against the idea of annihilation, saying Scripture does not teach it; every verse he knows about the wicked in their doom says forever and ever, for all eternity. It is an eternal, created thing from God. As sons of Adam, we are born with a body housing this sin-bent, anti-God personality.
