Theory’s are guesswork.
Scripture reveals reliable factual knowledge.
It is anyones option to believe scripture or not.



A Person IS a Living body, with It’s Life (BLOOD) and a Living soul, (which has Gods Life in it), IN the body.

ManKIND has free-WILL, and is accountable for his Choices.



My beliefs Regarding “God” and “ManKIND”are Based on Scriptures, and the “effects” of which a “Living man” can comprehend.

ManKIND…is a body…it’s LIFE is BLOOD.
The body…has many “parts”.
It’s BLOOD begins at “conception.”
Once IN the womb, IN the placenta, (a temporary, water surrounded place for receiving nourishment, and discarding waste) it is ‘Conceived” and by the Hand of God the body begins Forming.
That “Forming” Body has no awareness or knowledge, belief of God.

Once it exits the placenta, womb, female, called born…
“Then”…does the Man-Kind of thing, receive Gods “soul and breath of Life”….and thereafter:
Called a “Person”.
And; it’s “Body Parts” for “communication” are thus “activated’ and begin functioning.
Eyes…see
Ears….hear
Nose…smells
Tongue…tastes
Mouth….utters sounds
Flesh….feels touch

The soul…is Gods…it’s LIFE is GODS BREATH
Which, thereafter…IN or OUT of the body…
Its “communication” ability, Continues being ALIVE… until such time God removes His Breath of Life out of THAT soul.

When a BODY dies, it Knows Nothing, can Do Nothing. It’s LIFE, BLOOD, is Dead.
When a BODY dies, the Living soul Departs OUT of the BODY…

Read…(Gen 35:18) regarding Rachel’s dead body and her soul.

IF God returns “His” Living soul TO an EXISTING body…the LIFE of the BODY (blood), resumes Living.

Read…(1 Kings 18: 17-23) Regarding a young boy’s dead body, and soul returned to his body, and his Blood Life resumed living.)

Read…(John 11: 11, 14, 17, 43, 44 ) about a dead and buried man, named; Lazarus, whose soul was returned to his body and his body resumed living in it’s Blood Life.)

A Dead Body over the course of time, will begin rotting, be eaten by animals, or buried, and begin returning to Dust.

The living soul, departs a Dead Body and IS:
Escorted to Heaven by angels, to wait with God, in comfort, for judgement.
Or
Sent to Hell, to wait without God, in discomfort, for judgement.

Millions of Dead Body’s have or are returning to Dust…and their departed living souls IN Heaven.

Millions of Dead Body’s have or are returning to Dust…and their departed living souls IN Hell.

While a Man’s BODY (Blood) Is alive…He decides by his own choices, WHAT shall become of “his” body, “Gods” soul…

Gods Word reveals the ‘options’ according ‘TO’ Gods ‘order and way’.
Order and Way…is revealed IN Scripture.

ALL body’s life (Blood) shall, must die.
(Gen 9:5)

OT order and way…
Men who believed IN God, IN His word, and bodily died…”THEN” their departed soul saved…their spirit reborn.

NT order and way…
Men who believed and believe IN God, IN Gods Word “IS” Jesus…and bodily DIE…same as OT…”THEN” their departed soul saved…their spirit reborn…

NT order and way…
Men who believed and believe IN God, IN Gods Word “IS” Jesus….”AND” while bodily ALIVE, have “CONFESSED” their true Belief…
“THEN” before “bodily physical Death”…
Their “Living soul IN their body IS Saved”.
Their “Natural living spirit IN their heart IS Reborn”.

POINT being…the AFTER LIFE, regarding a MAN-KIND of being, IS “determined”, according to the order and way of Gods “terms”.

A man-KIND of being, WHILE ALIVE in his LIFE (Blood), freely chooses his Option of being “wIth or without” God Forever.

Once the BODY’S LIFE (blood) is physically DEAD, there is no more Option for that BODY’S LIFE (blood), TO Choose, to be with or without God Forever.

IOW…physically DEAD (bloodless LIFE of man) knows nothing, can choose nothing.

When Judgement day Arrives. ALL body’s VOID of their BLOOD, shall be RAISED UP, by the Power of God “returning their souls” to their body’s.

* Some body’s shall be raised, Glorified, restored, without sin…Because they believed and confessed their belief, Before their body died.
* Some body’s shall be raised, in their Sinful unrestored, with sin body’s…Because they did not Believe, before their body died.
* SINCE ALL body’s are raised, by their Living souls returning TO their body’s…
* They can see, hear, the Judge, the Lord Jesus, and WILL bow down and Worship Him.

The Conundrum…
* Those raised body’s wIth God…willingly gave their bodily Life (Blood) unto Death…FOR their testament of belief and love of God.
* Those raised body’s without God…HAVE NO BLOOD LIFE TO give.

Remember…God requires the LIFE of man. Mans LIFE IS BLOOD. Every man’s LIFE shall physically Die, and Every man who CHOOSES to not willingly GIVE his LIFE TO God, WHILE his body’s LIFE (BLOOD) IS ALIVE… after his body’s life (blood) exists no more, that man has NOT the required offering to give God, to BECOME MADE soul saved, spirit reborn, or body raised up in glory (ie a holy sinless body)…and WHY we are scripturally informed…WHAT becomes of body’s and soul’s that rejected the Lord God while they WERE alive in their (Blood) Life

Matt 10:
[28] And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

God has Offered ManKIND, an order and way to become MADE WHOLE…body, soul, spirit…acceptable to Forever BE WITH God…

As well, a reading and study of Scripture reveals, NOT all of manKind will choose Gods option and offering to become MADE WHOLE. And in no scripture is it revealed, God MAKES a manKIND of being WHOLE, against that mans own Choices he makes during his own bodily Life (blood) time.

Certainly God Desires ALL men during their (Blood) Life, WILL choose to believe, confess their belief, choose to become MADE whole according to Gods offering, Gods order and way….
However scripture is expressly Clear, Not all of manKind shall elect to choose what God Has offered…and those same men shall forever become destroyed, ash, separated from God forever and forgotten.

Not trying to ‘change’ your beliefs…rather giving you a few scriptures to encourage you to discover for yourself IF scripture itself will change your beliefs.

Glory to God,
Taken



I don't believe that the Lord is willing that any should perish. The soul is ruined while in prison separated from God, and the body of the Pharisees in that day were thrown in literal Gheenna.

It depends on how a person looks at the scripture. What point is there in hell now today, when it is done away with? I do not know. It's peoples already decided beliefs they hold near and dear to them. While some people can be have also mental issues, like autism, people still have their own beliefs when it comes down to it.

It's just the same as your belief, that God does away with souls. I don't see the Father in heaven, tossing away anyone, but always giving them a chance to hear the call, how long they reject is unknown, however even in the afterlife, I have faith maybe we as children of His can go help those in the darkness.

It's subjective between me and myself. I have considered the scriptures, and have read the gospels, and the letters of the Apostolic Record already. You simply differ with me on ones own decision how they see the scripture, and that is fine.
