Does the KJV ever capitalize He or Him in relation to God, Jesus, or Holy spirit? I doubt it.

So that is far and away more than a few improvements needed.

Plus KJV mostly says Holy Ghost.

It's nit-picky and not entirely un-pedantic but this is the primary reason i quote nkjv almost exclusively haha

Destroyed ≠ Non Exist

Perish ≠ Non Exist

Death ≠ Non Exist

Second Death ≠ Annihilate

There is no chance at all this annihilation doctrine is correct.

In the New Testament, the word “dead” (Gk., nekros) means “lifeless, useless, or separated.”
Never, ever does it mean “nonexistent”

ok. People are going to believe what they want.

Ecc 9:
5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.
10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Ps 6:5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

There are many more. But people don't read them, or don't believe them.

The atheist believes exactly what you professed:

that physical death is cessation of existence.

Why don't you try explaining how?

Would you have an open mind?

I know for myself there are some places I have an open mind and others where the topic settled, you seem like this is a settled doctrine for you but if you think you will consider I will explain.

Lazarus was raised from the dead.

Who heard the call to come forth?
someone who didn't exist?

Jesus said Lazarus was "sleeping" - why?
is Jesus a liar?

I’m assuming he was saving the captives. The righteous who had died before him that were in Abraham’s bosom. Also I read a verse that says he may have gone to Hades to proclaim to the spirits that rejected his name in the days of Noah. Anyone have any insight on this?

The captives were not in Abraham's Bossom but under the grasp of Satan

Don't most annihilationists believe the soul sleeps until after the millennium, then are cast into the Lake of Fire where they are allegedly annihilated? As opposed to being annihilated at death?

Before the resurrection of Christ, paradise was in the heart of the earth. Jesus did not ascend until after his resurrection.

John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

Not true, paradise is in the 3rd heaven btw if you want to quash Trinitarians theology, this is the verse....below the earth was a place of death and gloom not paradise

That is a vastly more tenable position.
