@bbyrd009 Guess I’ll state it like this if anyone disagrees with me that is fine. If you believe something totally different that is fine. Never to believe me but ask of God and seek Him over all things and see what He has to say to you.
There three positions I believe
One is Annihilation - God will destroy all of His own Creations because God can do what He wants. Or the scripture indicates annihilationism. - My question why would God do something like this? God can’t go against his nature, character or His own will.
One is Universalism - Everyone is saved with or without faith and go into the Kingdom of God - Doesn’t matter if you have faith or not everyone who dies goes straight to heaven to be with God - My question Does the Bible really say this? No it says without faith it is impossible to please God so how are those without faith going into the kingdom?
The third position is reconciliation : that all people after this life go to God to be judged. God judges rightly, fairly; justly in consideration of all of ones life.
In this view to me considering God is just and fair : God sets apart those with faith and those without faith who pass from this life once coming into the judgment. I believe that God according to scriptures allows those who had faith to go be in the heavenly Jerusalem, where those without faith who desired nothing to do with God even after Been given the truth are outside of the kingdom of God in the dark but the gates of the city are not closed off. Because God still desires for people whether on earth or in the heavenly realms to still come to Himself and learn of the truth of the Son.
Hope that this a helpful way to contrast some different views.
There may be some others not touched on May soul sleep and waiting on Jesus to return to capture the bride and take them up and then all people come out of hades and are judged and what not (I believe all these things happened and I live by faith that they have).
Thank you for your time reading and consideration,
Matthew G.
