That's a different issue.
I'm talking about recognizing all three biblical doctrines of the final judgement.
- Damnationism (forever burning hell)
- Annihilationism (complete destruction of the wicked)
- Christian Universalism (Ultimate Redemption of humankind)
All three views are biblical and contradictory.
Deep subject.
Scripture to the Surprise and Denial of some…absolutely Does contain… True Contradictions.
All Scripture is True.
The “contradictions” are embedded, IN the “Results” of every Individuals “FREEWILL” election/choices.
IF / THEN… is the Basic Constant IN Scripture.
IF “what”…THEN “what”.
IF NOT “what”…THEN NOT “what.”
Damnation…a Sentence?
Purpose…Suffer?
The Sentence…a Punishment?
The Punishment…Length Forever?
Realm / World Punishment …carried out?
Of “What” exactly?
* natural body of man?
* soul of a man?
* natural spirit of man?
Can A body without Life suffer?
Can A soul without Life suffer?
Can A spirit without Life suffer?
* What is the (natural) Life of the body?
Blood
* What is the Life of a soul?
Gods Breath
* What is the (natural) Life of the spirit?
Heartful Truth (
not carnal minded truth)
Can “a body” become “damned”…?
Punished “forever”? No.
Why? God requires, its Blood Life Death.
(Gen 9:5)
Can “a body” be separated from God “forever”? Yes.
Does a “lifeless body” suffer, feel, aware separation from God? No.
(Ecc 9:5)
Can “a soul” become “damned”? Yes.
Punished “forever”? No.
Why?
The “soul” belongs to God.
The Life “in the “soul” IS Gods Breath.
God “IS” Spirit… so Also IS Everything “Spirit”… regarding God…( His word, being, power, etc.) ie Essence…ie Lord God Almighty.
* body is from dust, returns to dust.
* soul is from God.
Either Vessel Can / Shall … without LiFE…DIE.
Either Vessel Can Become “Destroyed”.
Destroyed? The “matter” / the once recognizable shape, form, essence, no longer (without Life) recognizable.
(Understanding…
the body is a vessel, that has Blood Life.
the soul is a vessel, that has Gods breath (spirit of Life)…)
Natural “spirit” of man…
Natural Truth in his Heart.
(A natural man… born of a natural mans SEED)
Super natural “spirit of man”…?
( A natural man… whose “spirit” ( Truth in his heart) has received Gods Circumcision of the mans Heart and Received the Spirit of Gods Truth within such man. )
Such “spirit”… no longer “subject to”;
Death-
Punishment-
Damnation- separation from God
Gods Anger-
Wrath-
… IS “subject to” correction
… IS “subject to” receive Gods “understanding of His Word”
… IS “subject to” Forever Life WITH God
.…IS “subject to” a “wholeness” forever new living body, forever living soul, forever living spirit ( born of Gods Seed.
…”IS” subject to “future” fruition, to SEE God AS He IS.
- Damnationism (forever burning hell)
- Annihilationism (complete destruction of the wicked)
- Christian Universalism (Ultimate Redemption of humankind)
Deep and often a confusing, generic topic.
Those three things… ARE “elements” of a Broad Teaching… which such “Standing alone Topics can Broadly mean Different things to Different individuals”…
Nothing “dead / lifeless suffers”
Burning IN Hell Forever… is Suffering…
And only applies to THAT Which Can / Shall “Live” Forever.
Damnation-
Only Spirits Live Forever.
God IS a Spirit. (And HAS spirits)
Angels (holy and fallen) ARE spirits.
Mankind HAS a (natural) spirit, ie Heartful Truth… subject to Death.
Mankind Having Received Gods SEED, a new, a new spirit… is a mans “spirit” no longer “subject to death”…. Nor “subject to the Separation from God, Nor Damnation in Hell.
Annihilation-
Is the “destruction” of “Vessels”…that such “vessels” ONCE HAD Life in such Vessel.
Regarding mankind…
* body (vessel) without Life (blood), returns to dust, the vessel destroyed.
* soul (vessel) without Life (Gods breath), returns to…? (Can’t say, I have never seen what A soul looks like).
* spirit ( truth ) in a man heart… becomes dead with the body…. IF a man Rejected Gods Offering of Gods Truth.
Certainly is taught… God has the power and will destroy… Bodys and Souls (vessels of mankind)…
WHO… IF… such man Rejects Gods Offering, which I have no Doubt.
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.
Universalism-(appears to teach… God WILL / SHALL) “save ALL of Mankind”.
IF that be such teaching… That is False.
IF Universalism Teaches…
God Has PAID FOR every humans Salvation…
God Has OFFERED every human Salvation…
THAT IS TRUE.
THAT God HAS “Given” every Human Salvation.
That IS False.
THAT God Desires EVERY Human to BECOME Made Saved.
That IS True.
THAT God WILL / SAVE ALL Humans, Because He has the Power TO Do So.
That IS False.
Receipt of Salvation UNTO (given) a human, Requires the Acceptance / Agreement of the individual TO Accept / Agree With Gods Terms…
Gods Terms Requires an Individuals Heartful Belief… IN God…and Gods Word…
When the man is Alive in his natural body…
And at the specific Time (such Belief, As the mans body is dying.).
Any man…(whose experience IS ^^^ such)…
Matters Not… IF:
he lived his whole mortal life…a liar, cheater, thief, anti-god promoter, anti-Christ advocate….blah, blah…
God Will Forgive, a True “Heartful” Believer, and Save his soul.
A human, who is bodily about to die…without True Heartful Belief IN God, IN His Word… SHALL Not “Receive” God Forgiveness OR Salvation…
Because the individual “Rejected Taking His Offered Gift.”
Such “of those Three Terms” can be “surface puzzling” without “context”.
Inanutshell… what God Offers, (Gift of Salvation), IS Time Marked To
Agree to Gods Terms, Heartful Belief), Before a bodily Death…
And
Receive the Gift After an accounted Bodily Death.
Glory to God,
Taken
