Purgatory The word purgatory is not found in the Bible. Mainstream religion defines purgatory as: Purgatory is a place or process where souls are cleansed of impurities before entering heaven.
Spirit World: This is true but the understanding should be in that all souls that return back to the Lord after a life, returns back to their perfect spiritual self. The goal is always improving on one’s heaven.
Heb 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
(See Also; Heb 2:5, Heb 6:5, Mat 12:32)
Mainstream Religion: Who goes to purgatory? People who die in a state of grace but are not yet fully purified go to purgatory.
Spirit World: All souls have God’s grace, therefore all return back to the spiritual world. (Grace is found in the Bible in 122 verses.)
Mainstream Religion: What happens after purgatory? After being purified in purgatory, people are assured a place in heaven.
Spirit World: Heaven is within. Also within the world of your current awareness? Call it the physical world if you want. All have salvation so heaven is inevitable.
Mainstream Religion: Other uses: Purgatory can also refer to any situation where there is sharp but temporary suffering or misery.
Spirit World: “Other uses” are not possible because your in your pure spiritual state. This state is a liken to a staging area in-between lives.
2Co 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
One thought is the spiritual world is a planning stage in accordance to a souls freewill. Again, God’s work is finished and His foreknowledge in your eternity is predetermined. (Acts 2:23, Acts 15:18, Luke 22:22, Luke 22:37, 1Peter 1:2)
The beauty of the individual consciousness; beliefs are in truth when the thoughts and actions are in and from the love and goodness from the soul. Thus wisdom and knowledge are always in a growth stage. MJI (LightWorker)
3) Spiritual representations of scriptures. (understanding parables)
4) Developing a oneness with Creation. (Gen 34:16)
5) Seeing the world in growing experiences from love. (Eph 3:17)
6) Time works with understanding, slowly dissolving. (Mark 10:30, 1Ti 6:19)
7) Awareness, focus on the neighbor-one accord. (Rom 13:10, Rom 15:6, Acts 2:46-47)
8) Heavenly living in the present. (1Co 15:48-49)
9) Pure truth. (Psalms 85:11, 2Co 13:8, 1Peter 3:4)
Living Scriptures from the Celestial aspect:
1) Peace, joy, bliss, harmony. (John 14:27, Isa 12:3)
2) Love, at this level, is Creation becoming one. Love is life itself, (liken to not having to think to breathe), The Glory of Heaven. (Job 38:7 Psalms 148:3, Acts 26:19)
Matt 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Perfection from the original Greek Biblical text does not mean to be free from flaws or defects.
“Perfect” in the Greek; #5046 is teleios; from:5056; complete (in various applications of labor, growth, mental and moral character, etc.); completeness.
This “perfection” is a labor of growth in mental and moral character, overcoming evils and establishing a foundation of love in life.
Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Are you renewed, transformed, and do not conform to this world?
Gal 3:3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
Recognizing this perfection stems from your soul having the Word from the “beginning.” and in “time,” (eternal) this gift of perfection comes to all.
James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Be like Jesus.
Luke 6:40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
Man has a progression of 3 estates from birth to death (pertaining to salvation). The estates are;
Damnation
To be reformed, a reformation
To be regenerated, a regeneration
A man’s estate (condition of existence), is the degree and quality of his standing in relationship to his love and obedience towards God and ultimately leading to salvation at death of the flesh.
A man’s first estate of damnation
1Ti 5:12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.
Damnation in the Greek Text; G2917 κρίμα From G2919; a decision (the function or the effect, for or against [“crime”]). G2919 κρίνω Properly to distinguish, that is, decide (mentally or judicially); by implication to try, condemn, punish.
Summarizing;
Having damnation is having the option to properly distinguish and decide a for or against position, in the mind. The first faith is faith you inherited from creation.
We can see in this next verse that resistance, or making the wrong decision receives damnation.
Romans 13:2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
(Damnation in NT verses; Mat 23:14, Mat 23:33, Mark 3:29, Mark 12:40, Luke 20:47; John 5:29, Rom 3:8, 1Co 11:29, 2Peter 2:3) (Damned is found 3 times; Mark 16:16, Rom 14:23, 2Th 2:12)
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
The Second Estate; Being Reformed
Making the decision to avoid damnation leads to the second estate of being reformed.
Leviticus 26:23-24 And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me; Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.
Roadblocks to reformation can be in the a soul returning to a former state, (to not think from God but from self. Illness where one can not rationalize. Bodily illness not in a state for freedom. A state of blindness of understanding truths, or God closes their eyes.
The Greek word for reformed is; H3256 יָסַר A primitive root; to chastise, literally (with blows) or figuratively (with words); hence to instruct: – bind, chasten, chastise, correct, instruct, punish, reform, reprove, sore, teach.
The English definition of reformed is to be caused to abandon an evil manner of living and follow a good one.
Man’s Third Estate; Regeneration
Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Regeneration in the Greek Text;G3824 παλιγγενεσία From G3825 and G1078; (spiritual) rebirth (the state or the act), that is, (figuratively) spiritual renovation; specifically Messianic restoration: – regeneration. G3825 πάλιν Probably from the same as G3823 (through the idea of oscillatory repetition); (adverbially) anew, that is, (of place) back, (of time) once more, or (conjugationally) furthermore or on the other hand: – again.
We can see that the regeneration process is in the same sense going from damnation to reformation previously discussed.
Going from the physical material world in their walk with God to the deeper spiritual relationship that takes “heaven” within us to that higher estate.
It begins when a man desists from evils as sins, progresses as he shuns them, and is perfected as he battles against them.
But he becomes spiritual only in the measure in which he is in truths. Everyone is regenerated by means of truths and of a life in accord with them; by truths he knows life and by his life he does the truths.
Only one God. (Mark 12:32, 1Co 8:4-6, Gal 3:20, James 2:19)
God is love. (1John 4:8) God states; No other god’s before me. (Deu5:7)
But also stating, you are as a god. (Gen 3:5)
His Creation of the “world” as mentioned 7 times in Genesis. ALL was good. (Gen 1:4, 1:12, 1:18, 1:21, 1:25, 1:31) If you give up that “god” status, you live through Him. (1John 4:9)
He is already living in and through you. (Eze 37:14)
And God never changes. (James 1:17)
All God sees is goodness living His consciousness with you, through you, and in you as a vessel which is HIS manifestation which is Creation. (Eph 4:6)
Your love and goodness is His love and goodness. (Rom 11:22)
When proper thinking-goodness, living life by it’s truths, which is love. (Eph 4:15)
The consciousness of God is God and Creation. You are fulfilling his thoughts. (Mat 5:17, Col 1:25)
Your conscience is His manifestation of his created souls which is the mystery of faith. (1Ti 3:9)
To experience that love through freedom in living your eternal life “as your own.” (Luke 16:12)
Who shall separate Us from the love of Christ? (Rom 8:35)
Separation comes from within one’s own soul, and only through the flesh. (Jude 1:19)
In the end, of which their isn’t, souls live through eternity, going back to God and we are all one. (1Co 1:17)
Your soul, seeking wisdom and knowledge are incomplete without obedience-experience. (Gen 30:27)
Obedience to the faith. (2Co 2:9)
Unless you do it, it’s just a theory. The Word was instilled into your soul at Creation. (Gen 1:27, Mark 4:15)
Life is based upon the soul living through positive and negative experiences created within the consciousness of God, and the consciousness of humankind-Creation.
Ecc 7:25 I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:
(See Also; Ecc 1:13-17, Ecc 2:1-3, Ecc 2:12)
Reason in the Greek; H2808 חֶשְׁבּוֹן From H2803; properly contrivance; by implication intelligence: – account, device, reason. H2803 חָשַׁב A primitive root; properly to plait or interpenetrate, that is, (literally) to weave or (generally) to fabricate; figuratively to plot or contrive (usually in a malicious sense); hence (from the mental effort) to think, regard, value, compute.
Isa 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Rom 8:20-22 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
Reasoning in the English definition is;
The process of thinking about something in order to make a decision. Reasoning is a basic action of thinking in a sensible and rational way about something.
Examples of NOT having reasoning. Not having reasoning would also include not wanting to search and seek out wisdom. When a soul is stuck in a “place” and there is no growth, becoming complacient is living in death.
Reason #1: I have but one life to get this right. Not to mention those poor souls that have not had it as good as me. What did they do wrong? The aborted baby…..why can’t it be me. The thinking is the baby is in heaven? I don’t see “fairness” in that thinking. Simple reasoning.
Reason #2: Next, It’s all on me, but the truth according to scriptures is the ONLY thing I can do is have the willingness to want to learn how to live life with the goal of living a heavenly life through love. Humankind does not understand that ALL is through God, our Lord, and the Holy Spirit. His way, His time, His adjustments to a souls life.
Reason #3: Not understanding “representations” and how they apply to my soul. Satan being a representation of evil. How can I think that after this current awareness of this life that someone or something else is responsible for my own personal evils? Standing in front of Christ on judgement day and saying, oh Lord, how can I be responsible for the evils Satan has infused into my world?
Reason #4: I see what I see and judge accordingly and not understanding that every soul is in their own place, in their own eternity, and God will not destroy or condemn even one soul.
Reason #5: Having the mindset that “heaven” has to be done in this current awareness is also vanity. An eternal soul grows by way of experiences to overcome shortcomings, evils, errors, and mistakes which we ultimately learn from. Therefore, condemnation from God makes no sense as the negative part of the Plan is actually positive if there is a progression in living a life from a love aspect.
Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Kingdom in the Greek Text;
G932 βασιλεία From G935; properly royalty, that is, (abstractly) rule, or (concretely) a realm (literally or figuratively). G935 βασιλεύς Probably from G939 (through the notion of a foundation of power); a sovereign (abstractly, relatively or figuratively).
Heaven in the Greek Text;
G3772 οὐρανός Perhaps from the same as G3735 (through the idea of elevation); the sky; by extension heaven (as the abode of God); by implication happiness, power, eternity; specifically the Gospel (Christianity).
Luke 19:15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
If a soul has received the kingdom, is the soul not “in heaven” in relationship to the souls degree of evil verses love-faith?
Mat 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Mat 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
The nobleman in Luke 19:12, receiving the kingdom, the kingdom being God, (royalty), ruling the “realm”, (heaven). Heaven specifically is the Gospel. The Gospel, or Word being God Himself. So where is heaven, or to what degree of heaven is within?
Mat 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Location…..Location…….Location!
Deu 30:11-14 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
Mat 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Some standing here, (on this earth), shall not taste death until the see the Son of man, (Jesus) coming into his, (the some standing here), kingdom.
Death can only be in the flesh.
Mat 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Rom 10:6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
Mat 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
The keys to the kingdom of heaven are bound or loose on earth. Therefore, heaven on earth is within the soul. To take it further, manifested by way of your 6 senses. 6th being your power of the perception of your mind. (Coming from your inner-higher self).
Mat 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
If you follow Jesus, your treasure in heaven is your heaven within. How much heaven do you want? Your perception, understanding, and truths within your soul make that determination. How you understand the concept of goodness-negativity, love for your neighbor, and progression of life’s experiences that bring more of heaven than hell within. “Follow” in the Greek is to accompany, properly, to be in the same way with.
Mark 13:31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
From this verse it is shown that the Word of God shall not pass away, but heaven and earth being IN THE SOUL can pass away.
Eph 4:8-10 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Mat 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.
Hell in the Greek;
G1067 γέεννα Of Hebrew origin ([H1516] and [H2011]); valley of (the son of) Hinnom; gehenna (or Ge-Hinnom), a valley of Jerusalem, used (figuratively) as a name for the place (or state) of everlasting punishment: – hell.
The reference to hell in Mat 10:28 is a physical place as well as a state of mind.
Mark 9:47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
Mark 9:43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
From these two verses, everlasting punishment is a “state of being”. Hard to believe that a missing eye and hand is anything physical. It can only be from the soul.
Act 2:24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
Act 2:25-27 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
Psa 86:13 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
How can the soul be delivered from the lowest hell, to obtain mercy, if hell is not within?
Luke 12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
Ask yourself, who is the “him”?
Mark 8:18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
Jesus is the way of life, and life itself. Jesus is a process of life, whereby His teachings were by example. Whereby His teachings, should be learning and practices. Teachings whereby the acquisition of that knowledge, is implemented through thoughts-experiences.
Lip service, praise, and the like, the adjectives of religion, have no substance. A lamp without oil, a candle without a flame.
The complete Word, Bible, teaching, are summed up by these scriptures.
Mat 22:36-40 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Love is life, Jesus, and God His self. Because love is life, and is the “way.” That love begins with every thought from the mind…..period. Every thought-action, performed-fulfilled by the flesh, is the way…..period. It is not a religion of one or two, but a religion of all. A reverence for the Oneness of Creation, because Creation is of One, from One, and only One. Humankind is of that One.
There is no duality in His way of life. No yin and yang, good and evil, plus or minus, light or dark, unity or division. To go as far as saying, right or wrong, because duality is of the world, and not of God. It’s all in understanding how to comprehend and implement Jesus as that way of life. Any thought process outside of love, is a lack of understanding the process of how life actually works. The degree of, and/or, the lack of faith, and trust for that process. The work of the soul is an understanding of that process by living in peace, the joy of life in the love of everything. Anything less than that, is a work in progress, which is the working of a soul, through one’s own personal eternity, with one’s own personal relationship with our Lord that is eternal for all.
Eph 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
(See Also; Rom 2:29, Rom 7:22, 2Co 4:16, 1Peter 3:4)
Inner man, creation of the spirit-soul:
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Perfectly created spirit-soul.
The Word is life:
John 6:33-35 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Rom 15:6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. One with, and in God.Outer Man:
Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
The formed flesh body-mind-ego. One with one’s self.
Luke 12:23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
Pro 29:11 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
Which “self” is in control?
Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Rom 8:11-13 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
When the spirit-soul lives from the spirit, and not the flesh-world, no separation or distance is present.
Eph 4:4-6 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Rev 17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Pro 19:15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
See Also; (Proverbs 19:24, 6:9-10, 20:13, 23:21, 24:33, Isa 56:10, Rom 13:11-12, Eph 5:14)
Idle in the Hebrew: H7423 רְמִיָּה From H7411; remissness, treachery: – deceit. H7411 רָמָה A primitive root; to hurl; specifically to shoot; figuratively to delude or betray (as if causing to fall).
(Remissness is the quality of being lax and neglectful. Treachery is a betrayal of trust; deceptive action or nature.)
Ecc 10:18 By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
Proverbs 19:15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
Idleness in the Hebrew; H8220 שִׁפְלוּת From H8213; remissness: – idleness. H8213 שָׁפֵל A primitive root; to depress or sink (especially figuratively to humiliate, intransitively or transitively): – abase.
Slothfulness in the Greek; H6103 עַצְלָה Feminine of H6102; (as abstraction) indolence: – slothfulness. (Indolence is an inclination to laziness: sloth.)
If your not hungry for the truth and not searching, your simply hurting yourself but God as well as your soul has an eternity to figure out how to eliminate evils from one’s life.
If your not moving forward in all aspects of your life, life that revolves around love, your actually regressing and supressing your own growth which is ultimately living with your evils and living your hells and not your heaven.
2Co 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
2Tim 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
Vanity
Ecc 1:2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
All is vanity as we can see in these verses;
Ecc 1:14 – Works under the sun; all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Ecc 2:1 – Pleasure is vanity.
Ecc 2:11 – Works and labour, vexation of spirit, all was vanity.
Ecc 2:15 & Ecc 2:19 – Wisdom is vanity.
Ecc 2:26 – God giveth to man that is good in his sight wisdom, knowledge, joy, but the sinner, travail. To gather up and to heap up to give before God. All vanity and vexation of the spirit.
(Vexation in the Hebrew; meaning a sense of desire or feeding upon, grasping after.)
Ecc 3:19 – All have ONE BREATH so man has NO preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
Ecc 4:4 – No end of all his labour, eye satisfied with riches, also vanity and is a sore travail.
Ecc 5:10 – The love for silver, vanity.
Ecc 6:2 – Riches, wealth, honour, wanting nothing for his soul but yet a stranger eateth, this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
Ecc 6:9 – Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire.
Ecc 7:15 – All things vanity: a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and the wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.
Ecc 9:9 – Live joyfully with the wife, lovest all the days of life, vanity.
Ecc 11:8 – A man living many years, rejoice in them all; remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.
Ecc 11:10 – Remove sorrow from thy heart, put away evil from thy flesh: childhood and youth are vanity.
Works, pleasure, labour, wisdom, knowledge, joy, riches, desires, righteousness, wickedness, days of darkness, sorrows. All vanity. Everything is vanity.
Why?
John 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
1Co 6:14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
Our Lord himself said he can do nothing from his own self and judged himself according to will of the Father. If his Father had to raise him up, and we are talking about Jesus Christ here, how can it be where any individual soul is responsible for a judgement against evils and only God can raise you up!
John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Everyone will be chosen at their appointed time in their eternal life. Vanity now makes sense. This is the mystery spoken of in Romans 11:25.
Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
The mystery? “Until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.” (See Romans 2:12-29)
Rom 14:4 Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
Again, it is God that is able to make him stand, not himself. And if God is the only one to make him stand, then why would God destroy a soul or commit a soul to some hell? We create and judge our own evils.
The only thing humankind can do is have the willingness and drive to shun evils and follow the path of righteousness which is truths and obedience to goodness and love for every aspect of life regardless of what your eyes see and your mind thinks.
If you see and think from your spirit, understanding unfolds right in front of you. The “trick” is to have the awareness of knowing who is in charge of your soul. Your flesh brain-mind, or your spirit-soul?
Psa 37:31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
Stairway To Heaven
