When people see references to God’s wrath in Scripture, it is important that they consider the context. Too many people assume that God’s wrath refers to eternal condemnation. It rarely—if ever—does. John 3:36 is an example where people often read into the wrath of God an eternal component that is not found in the text.

Hell and the Lake of Fire are the eternal condemnation that is : Hell and the lake of fire.

John 3:36, says that God's wrath Abides, on Christ rejectors., and this does not stop until a person BELIEVES in Jesus.

If we read these next 2 verses down below that i'll post.... ..we see the end result of UNBELIEF as its continued after death, as well as on earth.
Its a fact that every non-born again, is currently DAMNED, and their way out of that Damnation, is to be born again.. To Trust in Christ.

Reader....When you lead someone to Christ, you just led them away from eternal damnation.

Notice in this verse,, .. .WHY Jesus is taking vengeance on them......

2 Thessalonians 1:8-9​

8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL...of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction""""

And the way you dont obey the gospel is when you dont BELIEVE IT. As to BELIEVE IT, is how you obey it., and so, the wrath of God and Christ's wrath, are the same., and for the same reason.

I have shown you how faith/believing cannot be separated,
Of course they can't be separated; they are the same thing. There is no such thing as an unbeliever having faith. That is an oxymoron.

You had a terrible teacher.
Put them in the trash bin, and get a real one.
Its not too late.

So, now read this...


Man is :

Body

Soul ( Mind, will, emotions)

Spirit.

Now...Notice these carefully.

1.) "God is A Spirit"

2.) When we are born again, we are born again Spiritually... not mentally, and your body is unchanged.
I wrote a few pages on that and you can read it here... www.carb-fat.com/walking-by-the-spirit.html

They cannot be separated because when we receive faith from hearing the Gospel proclaimed in the power of the Spirit, we will always believe in Christ and turn to Him in repentance. Unlike some who claim to have faith in Christ yet fall away. Their faith did not lead them to believe in/on Christ for eternal life because they mustered it up while spiritually dead in trespasses and sins. This type of worldly faith is like that of the devils who believe in God, but deny Christ!

Angels are not spirits, as every Angel in the bible was a Male, with a body.
Lucifer was not just a Spirit, in Heaven, ........and He's not just a spirt right now, manifested as Satan.

And "Earthy man".

You are not making the distinction between the Body and the Soul and The Spirit.

See, our Spirit lives IN our Body.
Our Body is "earthy" but our Spirit is God's breathed by .... "God who is A Spirit".
