The World and the Word

      The Inerrant and Infallible Word of God

God has meticulously planned His entire creation and the history of humanity down to the tiniest detail so that He can provide salvation by grace to all He will allow to live with Him in Heaven, and He will also be able to provide a lesser form of salvation to all unbelievers who die in their sins and whom He had to confine to the regions of death when He will cause them to repent and believe in the Lamb of their own free will when He appears to them in a great worship service in the end of the world. Revelation 5:11-14; John 5:24; Isaiah 45:21-25; I Corinthians 2:7; Acts 15:18; II Timothy 1:9; Hebrews 4:3; Psalm 107:10-14.

Humans who read God's Word or hear the gospel preached can get saved by grace because they hear the Spirit of God in their hearts telling them to repent and believe in Christ who alone can save them. John 16:7-11. Humans who read or hear the Word and reject it do so because they listen to the evil influence within them, and they hear only contradictions. In both cases, God proves His Word to be inerrant and infallible. Believers saved by grace have been given the ability by the Spirit of God to tell the difference between scripture directly inspired by God and scripture written by ordinary humans that God gave to His Word through His guidance of those who wrote His Word. The Word of God accurately reports the entire condition of humanity with all of its sins, the way it reasons, and all of its emotions. The Word of God teaches about who God is, but it also reveals to humans who they are and exactly that which they need. God tells the exact truth to humans whether they believe it or not. This fact makes the Word of God inerrant and infallible. Believers guided by the Spirit can understand that the paradox recorded in Proverbs 26:4-5 means that the believer must be guided by the Holy Spirit as to whether or not to answer a fool at a time when he hears him speak foolishness. The unbeliever only sees a contradiction in Proverbs 26:4-5. In both cases, the Word of God is still inerrant and infallible. The Word will embrace believers saved by grace, but the Word will also cause unbelievers to reject God's Word because God does not want apostates in the ranks of His believers saved by grace. Nevertheless, God will save even the apostates and the rebellious with a lesser form of salvation when He appears to them in a great worship service in the end of the world. II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:21; Ezekiel 20:25; Hebrews 8:7-8; Revelation 5:11-14; Isaiah 45:20-25; Psalm 107:10-14; Luke 3:6; I Timothy 4:10. The word "prophecy" in II Peter 1:21 means scripture given to the writers of the Bible (KJB) by direct inspiration from God, but the flaws that God allowed to be put into His Word in Ezekiel 20:25 and Hebrews 8:7-8 teaches humans that they always fail to keep their part of their covenants with God because of their sins and evil. But Psalm 89:34 teaches humans that God never fails to keep His Word because it is inerrant and infallible.

In the matter of sins of weakness, God holds believers saved by grace to a higher standard than He does those who have no law or only part of the law. Luke 12:48. God recreates the souls and spirits of all believers saved by grace, thoroughly cleanses them with the spiritual blood of Christ, and gives them the perfect righteousness of Christ Himself which ensures their entrance into Heaven. I Peter 1:3-4; I Corinthians 6:11; I Corinthians 1:30. The inner beings of believers saved by grace cannot sin because they have been recreated and possessed by the Spirit of Christ. I John 3:9. But God allows believers saved by grace to retain their fleshly natures which can commit sins of weakness and, rarely, even deliberate, evil sins. God requires believers saved by grace to repent every day of their fleshly sins and be washed clean by the spiritual water that Jesus shed on the cross. John 13:1-14. Believers who fail to daily repent lose their fellowship with Christ. John 13:8. Christ cannot fail in anything He does. Philippians 1:6. Therefore, Christ will make sure that every believer saved by His grace will eventually repent and be washed in the spiritual water of His Word so that He can accept His Church and all others saved by His grace to live with Him in Heaven. I Thessalonians 3:13; Ephesians 5:25-27.

God expects believers saved by grace to live righteous lives because the presence of the Spirit of Christ in their hearts should so radically change their behavior and desires that they no longer desire to sin. Galatians 5:16-26; Romans 12:1-2. But God, like a Father, will punish believers saved by grace for their correction and repentance when He will often ignore sins of weakness in unbelievers. Hebrews 12:1-11. But God has appointed human law and courts to punish evildoers. Romans 13:1-5. God will also sometimes punish believers saved by grace who commit deliberate evils by taking their earthly lives and bringing them home in disgrace. I John 5:16.

God's written Word can only be inerrant and infallible because God had it written in such an ingenious way that it will cause unbelievers to reject it, partly because of its contradictions, but it will also compel believers to accept its truth because the Love of God shines through every word of it. God does not desire that unbelievers who pretend to be believers should join His Church because they will be agents of the Devil who will spread false doctrine and disharmony in order to confuse true believers. The powerful, written Word of God will keep most of them out of Christ's Church. John 6:66. Even so, the Apostles Paul, Peter, and Jude warned the Church that Satan would send apostates into the Church to introduce false doctrine and confusion. II Peter 2:1-3; Acts 20:29-31. But despite all this, it remains quite miraculous that the basic doctrine of salvation by grace has stayed the same in all true Christian Churches despite all the confusion and false doctrines sowed by the apostates. Acts 20:28; Ephesians 5:25-27.

The Love of God manifested in Jesus Christ is the inerrant and infallible Word of God. John 1:1. God causes His Love to shine through every written Word for believers saved by grace. The Holy Spirit revealed in God's written Word also causes unbelievers to reject His grace partly because of the evil in them and partly because of its contradictions. Believers saved by grace can explain some of the seeming contradictions by the use of unseen facts and logic, but some they cannot explain. But believers saved by grace should not be concerned about contradictions they cannot explain because God allowed them to be put into His Word to teach the inerrant and infallible truth that humans are fallible and for the purpose of driving apostates away from His Church. John 6:66.

When Jesus walked the earth, He often displayed compassion for sins of weakness such as the woman at the well, the woman caught in adultery, and the maniac of Gadara. But He displayed anger with the Pharisees and Sadducees who deliberately distorted God's Word in order to flaunt their self-righteousness and to justify their oppression of their fellow Jews. Total evil happens to be the same as spiritual death which God will separate from all living humans for Him to cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15; I Corinthians 3:11-15. But God will eventually bring all living humans, created in His image and purged of spiritual death, back to repentance and faith and reconciliation with Him of their own free will that will display a true and real love for Him. God creates His living image that He puts into all humans to be good which means it must contain a latent faith and love for Him which God knows how to reawaken. Genesis 1:31. God will prove that His Love cannot fail. I Corinthians 13:8; Colossians 1:15-23; John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14.

Even in God's description of total evil in Romans 1:19-32, He made no mention of casting living humans into an eternal lake of fire. Even when Jesus rebuked the evil Jews in John 8:19-24, He said nothing about casting their living souls and spirits into an eternal lake of fire. Jesus knew that one day in the future He will cause all living humans confined to the regions of death to repent and believe of their own free will so that He can resurrect them for Him to recreate to live on His new earth. Revelation 20:5; Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 21:1-5; Psalm 107:10-14; Isaiah 45:20-25.

God never gets dismayed over the power of sin and evil. God has full confidence in Himself that He can handle it. John 17:1-4. Sometimes Christians, because of a weakness in their faith, give to much credit to the power of the Devil and evil. God even allowed fallible humans to write flaws into His inerrant and infallible Word, such as Moses' allowance of divorce, to prove that He holds all power over sin and evil even when sinful men write it into His Word. Hebrews 8:7-13; Ezekiel 20:25. God's constant proof in His Word that He holds all power over sin and evil, and His constant promises that He will always keep His part of every covenant makes His Word inerrant and infallible. Psalm 89:34; John 17:1-4; Luke 20:38. God's Almighty Love is His inerrant and infallible Word. I Corinthians 13:8; Ecclesiastes 3:14.

God's Love is Almighty and Infinite. I Corinthians 13:8; Psalm 147:5. Nothing can be added to or subtracted from the Infinite. God's Almighty Love is the same as Infinity. Ecclesiastes 3:14. Infinity is that which can never fail. I Corinthians 13:8. Evil results from an attempt to add to or subtract from God's Infinite Love. But the bulk of all evil, although huge, can only be finite, and the Infinite always overwhelms and overpowers the finite. The finite can attempt to reduce the Infinite to the finite which is the essence of evil. But God's Infinite Love always wins. I Corinthians 13:8.

God gave His Holy Word to humans in such an ingenious way that any interpretation of any scripture that glorifies God's Love and Mercy can only be a correct interpretation. For example, the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15:12-32 can be interpreted as meaning that God saves lost sinners. It can also be interpreted as meaning that God forgives backslidden believers when they repent. Both interpretations are correct because they both glorify God's Love. Jesus' invitation to fellowship with Him in Revelation 4:20 can be preached either as the Holy Spirit's invitation to lost sinners to become saved by grace or as Christ's desire to enter the Church at the time of worship to fill the hearts of each believer. Both interpretations are correct because they both glorify God's Love.

Christ has Infinite and Almighty Power over all sin and evil. All through the Bible (JKB) God displays compassion and patience with sins of weakness. God knows that sins of weakness are unavoidable. God's punishments for sins of weakness were usually light when He punished at all. In Acts 17:30, the Apostle Paul preached that God ignored the sins of weakness of the heathen that had never heard of the Ten Commandments.

But all through the Bible (KJB), God severely punished deliberate, evil sins of defiance and rebellion against Himself. Even the heathen can commit such deliberate evils when they reject God's revelation of His existence in His creations, and they begin to worship idols. Romans 1:18-23. In their consciousness of their image of God that He put into them, even the idolatrous heathen knew that their sacrifices of their children to idols was a cruel and coldblooded act. Psalm 34:16. Because of deliberate evil, God drowned all of humanity in a great flood except for Noah and his family, destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah with a fiery blast, and commanded the Israelite army at times to kill every man, woman, and child in places given over to total evil. But God will recover and recreate His good image in every evil human. Roman 11:36; Psalm 107:10-14; Revelation 5:11-14. God means to purge all evil from all of His creations so that He can recreate it all to be wholly righteous. II Peter 3:10-13; Revelation 21:5.

Even God's people sometimes committed evil acts of defiance and rebellion against God. When they did so, God usually severely punished them, but always He had the aim of bringing them to repentance and back to reconciliation with Him. God, for the most part, ignored Samson's sins of weakness until Samson allowed his hair to be cut. God severely punished Samson for his defiance, but God brought him back to repentance and faith. God severely punished Jonah for his rebellion by having him swallowed by a whale, but in the end, Jonah repented and God had the whale spit him out on a beach so that he could obey God's command to preach to the Ninevites. God severely punished King David for his sins of adultery and murder which were partly caused by weakness and partly by defiance. Even so, God's punishment of King David was not as severe as it could have been. David's abject repentance probably mitigated his punishment.

However, God has given the righteousness of Christ and the fruits of the Holy Spirit to every believer in the Church Age. This fact means that every believer in the Church Age should hate sin and avoid it as much as possible. For this reason, God will often punish Christian believers severely for sins of weakness, and He will sometimes kill Christian believers for sins of defiance. I Corinthians 1:30; Galatians 5:22-24; I John 5:16; Luke 12:48.

The World and the Word

       The Inerrant and Infallible Word of God

Psalm 50:23 teaches that God will provide a form of salvation for the goodness that He has put into every human. Psalm 86:9 prophesies that a day will come when "all nations," which can only mean every human whom God has ever created, will gather to worship God. This prophecy has to include all recreated humans who will live on God's recreated earth. Psalm 36:6 informs that God's righteousness and His judgments "preservest man and beast." When God preserves something, how long does He preserve it? Ecclesiastes 3:14. No doubt, God will recreate those who led good lives on the former earth to a better life on His new earth than those who practiced evil on the former earth. God will recover and recreate even the small amount of goodness that He put into evil people to be righteous systems, but they will receive much fewer rewards than those who practiced goodness on His former earth. John 12:25; Matthew 16:27; Revelation 22:12; Luke 3:6; Joel 2:28-29.

The Church should not be faulted for preaching that God's good image in humans will be lost from God forever in the lake of fire if they do not accept Christ as their Savior while still alive on the earth. The Church only preaches this because it loves humans. The Church attempts to manifest the Love of God when it preaches that idea and that can only be good even though this teaching can be found nowhere in God's Word. Many a person has become saved by grace because they became afraid of going to an eternal Hell. The Church only tries to practice that which is written in Jude 23 even though that verse does not state that humans stay in Hell forever. The "worm" that Jesus taught about in Mark 9:44, 46 and 48 that "dieth not" means sin and evil itself, not living humans. Jesus referred to Isaiah 66:23-24 which informs that resurrected, living humans will be able to observe their own evil "worms" squirming in the lake of fire. God definitely equated the word "worm" with sin and evil itself in Psalm 22:6 which prophesied that Jesus would bear the sins and evil of all mankind on the cross. The Church should make every human to whom it preaches deathly afraid to go to any of the regions of death because they are all hellish places which causes tremendous pain and suffering, even if only temporary. God sentences all living humans not saved by grace to temporary suffering for their sins and evil, but Christ suffered the eternal death penalty for all living humans which the Devil hopes to inflict on them. The Devil desires to use evil to forever destroy the living nature of humans that God creates and loves in order to prove that God's Love is not Almighty. Job 2:5. But Christ in Love sacrificed Himself on a cross, and descended into Hell, and rose immaculate from the dead to save all living humans from eternal death. Genesis 3:14-21; Luke 20:38; Hebrews 2:9; Hebrews 2:14-15; I John 3:8; I Timothy 4:10; I Timothy 6:13; I Timothy 4:10.

In Romans 8:23, the Apostle Paul wrote "and not only they" by which he could only have meant verse 21 which states that God will recreate everything that has been corrupted by evil, including all living humans. Paul then wrote "but ourselves also" by which he could only have meant that God will recreate all living humans saved by grace with spiritual bodies at the Rapture of the Church.

The Church often preaches that if a person hears or reads the gospel and realizes that he needs Jesus as his Savior, but he always rejects receiving salvation by grace until his physical death, then that person becomes lost from God forever in the lake of fire. But no verse in the entire Bible (KJB) states that idea. In fact, Romans 8:18-23 clearly teaches that God will recreate His entire creations that was subject to corruption and that must include all living humans. Luke 20:38. Colossians 1:15-23 clearly teaches that God will reconcile everything that he created back to Himself and that has to include all living humans. Jesus promises in Revelation 21:5, "Behold, I make all things new." That promise has to include all living humans. Jesus clearly taught in John 11:25 that He can give life back to a believer after physical death, and then He proved it by raising Lazarus from the dead. Since the King James Bible can only be the inerrant and infallible Word of God in English, then Jesus' phrase "though he were dead, yet shall he live" can only mean coming to faith after physical death. Revelation 5:11-14.

Jesus did tell some unbelievers in John 8:20-24 that "ye shall die in your sins," but He did not say they would be lost from God forever. Jesus also taught in Luke 13:3 and 5 that those who refuse to repent will "perish." But that word "perish" does not mean that living persons will be lost from God forever. That word means that God will dissolve that person's system in the end of the world, recover His good image of Himself that He put into that person and recreate his living nature to live on His recreated earth, and He will consign his separated, evil nature to the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 20:15; II Peter 3:10-13; Psalm 75:3. God will recreate His good image in that person to be a different but righteous person than he was in his life on the former earth. Only his earthly system with its good and evil natures will perish. John 12:25; Matthew 10:39; Matthew 16:25; Mark 8:35; Luke 9:24; Luke 17:33.

God created all good things, and God is the source of all good works. James 1:17. This fact can only mean that when Christ stated in Revelation 21:5, "Behold, I make all things new," He could only have meant that He will recover and recreate all of His good creations that have been stained by sin, including all living humans. Romans 11:36. Revelation 22:11-12 clearly teaches that in the end of the world God will effect an absolute separation of all that is good from all that is evil. Matthew 15:13; Matthew 13:36-43; John 5:28-29.

The World and the Word

        The Inerrant and Infallible Word of God

God's Almighty Love cannot fail. I Corinthians 13:8. For this reason, Jesus taught in John 6:51 that He would give His flesh "for the life of the world." Jesus' statement can only mean that He will provide a lesser form of salvation than that of grace for all unbelievers and even apostates. Jesus further taught that He had already given life to the world. John 6:33. Because God's Word is eternal, Jesus often spoke of His work on earth as having been already accomplished. John 17:4. This fact makes the truth of John 6:33 certain to happen. That which Jesus has determined to do, He will certainly accomplish. In the future, all living humans confined to the regions of death will see Jesus in a great worship service, and His magnificence and majesty will cause them all to choose to repent and believe that the Lamb alone can save them from these hellish places. Revelation 5:11-14. Christ will resurrect them all, cleanse them by His fiery wrath against evil that will also contain His shed blood, and recreate them to live on His recreated earth. Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:5; Hebrews 2:9; Hebrews 2:14-15; John 5:28-29; John 11:25; Isaiah 45:21-25.

God taught that He provides a lesser form of salvation in the Old Testament. For example, Psalm 50:23 and Proverbs 28:18 clearly teach that God will provide a lesser form of salvation for all humans who live right and do right. This from of salvation must be lesser because it cannot equal salvation by grace. God knew when He gave these verses that salvation by grace occurs completely apart from any good works. Ephesians 2:8-9. When God revealed that He gave grace to Noah, He made no mention of Noah's good work in building the Ark. Genesis 6:8. Even the most evil persons have done some good works in their lives that God gave them to do. God will raise even their puny, living souls and spirits that God created and loves and recreate them to live righteous lives on His recreated earth although they will be completely different persons that they were on the former earth and they will enjoy very few rewards. John 12:25; Matthew 10:42.

In John 6:37-40, Jesus prophesied that He cannot lose anything that His Father has given Him, and His Father has given Him all things that the Trinity created. Colossians 1:15-23. Jesus will raise all living humans "again at the last day." Since Jesus will raise the Church at the Rapture and the Tribulation saints at the beginning of His millennial reign, then He can only raise all other living humans "at the last day" which can only mean His final judgment in the end of the world. Revelation 20:5. In the end of the world, the Father will use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve His entire creation, including all living humans confined to the regions of death. II Peter 3:10-13; Psalm 75:3. God will give the "preeminence" to Jesus for Him to recreate the heavens and the earth in righteousness, including all living humans who will believe at His appearance so that He can raise them from the regions of the dead. Colossians 1:18; Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5. The Father will give His Son the right to be King of King and Lord of Lords over His entire new creations. In Revelation 21:5, Jesus promised, "Behold, I make all things new." His promise can only be true if He recreates absolutely everything that He and His Father and the Holy Spirit created in the first place. Genesis 1:1; Colossians 1:15-23; Romans 8:18-23; I Corinthians 15:20-28; II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 19:16; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 22:11-13.

Only after Jesus had clarified the meaning of His sermon in John 6:26-59; that is, that His words had spiritual content, did He then invite all that His Father had given Him to come to Him and believe while still alive in the flesh in order to be saved by His grace. John 6:65. Simon Peter became the first person inspired by the Father to accept Jesus as his Savior and become "born again" into Jesus' Church. John 6:67-69. According to Matthew 16:17-18, Jesus revealed that Peter's confession of faith would become the pattern for all future living humans who would become "born again" into Jesus' Church.

God has given to every loving parent the urgent desire to save their children in danger by any means within their power. If God were to give a supernatural power to any parent that they could use to save their child in danger, that parent would certainly use it. In fact, this type of miracle has happened at times. Can God's Almighty Love be any less that this? God can certainly use His Almighty Love and His Infinite Intellect to devise a plan that will cause all fallen, living humans that He created and loves to return of their own free will to repentance and faith in Him so that they can be reconciled with Him. God has tested His Love to prove that it can never fail. I Corinthians 13:8; Colossians 1:15-23; Romans 8:18-23; I Corinthians 15:20-29.

The World and the Word

        The Inerrant and Infallible Word of God

God's Word can only be inerrant and infallible because it always speaks the truth. One of those truths is that humans are fallible. God's inspiration simply means that God gave His Word to holy men, but it also means that God allowed even pagans at times to write the truth into His Word. II Timothy 3:16-17 does not teach that God directly inspired every word in the Bible (KJB). It states that His Word was "given" to humans.

Many contend that God gave His Word to be preached so that all hearers can become saved by grace. But God also desires His Word to be preached to drive unbelievers away from His Church. The Church should rejoice when lost sinners become saved by grace, but the Church should also be glad when no one gets saved by grace because that means that God is keeping His Church clean of most sins and evil. John 6:65-66. In Isaiah 6:9-10, God instructed Isaiah to preach His Word for the express purpose of driving unbelievers away from faith in Him.

In John 6:41-66, Jesus deliberately preached about eating His flesh and drinking His blood in order to disgust unbelievers and drive them away from Him. John 6:52. Jesus knew that unbelievers who joined His Church would become apostates who would introduce a lot of false doctrine and discord into His Church. Jesus desired to keep His Church clean. The Holy Spirit does the same today.

In John 6:60-62, Jesus spoke directly to His true believers. He informed them that they alone would see Him ascend to Heaven, by which He meant that only His true believers would be able to see Him in His resurrected spiritual body. Jesus then clarified the meaning of His preaching. He told His true believers that His words were spiritual in their meaning. He wanted them to know that after He ascended the Holy Spirit would impart His broken flesh and shed blood to His believers in spiritual form so that all of His believers saved by grace would immediately know that their souls and spirits had been cleansed by His spiritual blood, and they would learn later from His Word that they would receive spiritual bodies at the Rapture of the Church because they would be thoroughly cleansed at that time by His spiritual shed water and forever saved in body by His broken flesh. Jesus will also impart a lesser form of salvation to the rest of humanity through His broken flesh. John 6:33; John 6:51; Hebrews 2:9; Hebrews 2:14-15. Jesus further informed His believers that only those whom His Father knew would be capable of receiving His spiritual truth would be the ones who would be saved by direct inspiration from His Father. All of those who could not receive this spiritual truth walked away from Jesus, except one. John 6:66 and 71.

In John 6:67-69, the Apostle Peter demonstrated that he was one of those true believers who was capable of receiving by faith the spiritual truth that Jesus is God and His Savior. In Matthew 16:15-18, Jesus blessed Simon Peter because he received faith in Christ from direct inspiration from His Father. Jesus then announced that this form of direct inspiration of spiritual truth for salvation by grace would be the very foundation on which He would build His Church. John 3:16; John 5:24.

But in John 6:70-71, Jesus informed His disciples that one remained among them who rejected faith in Christ. The Devil sends some apostates into Christ's Church today, but the preaching of the true gospel drives most of them away.

The World and the Word

         The Inerrant and Infallible Word of God

Two types of sins exist; that is, sins of weakness and deliberate sins which are totally evil and never repents. Both types of sins exist within the inner beings of every human which they inherited from the fall of Adam and Eve. Eve became deceived by the Devil and fell into sin. Adam deliberately fell into sin, but part of his motive was his desire to try to protect his wife. These were sins of weakness. But Eve deliberately sinned when she selfishly gave the forbidden fruit to Adam because she desired to ruin him as well, and Adam deliberately sinned because he knew fully well that he would disobey God. I Timothy 2:14. Deliberate sins are totally evil because they exhibit rebellion and defiance toward God's Word. Lucifer committed deliberate sins in his rebellion against God, and he became totally evil because he refused to repent. Ezekiel 28:13-19.

But whenever a living human whom God created in His image repents of a deliberate sin and believes that Christ can cleanse him of it, then God's compassion for His own causes Him to change that deliberate sin into one of weakness because that believer's repentance and faith indicates that he has chosen to return to love for God and to be reconciled with Him. God will eventually forgive the sins of weakness of all humans because He will cause them all to repent and believe of their own free will. The Devil injected total evil into living humans which is foreign to their natures created in the image of God. God warned Adam and Eve that if they disobeyed Him, they would become weak and subject to being injected with total evil, which is also spiritual death, by the Devil. Genesis 2:17. Sin caused spiritual death, and spiritual death, in turn, causes living humans to sin which causes them great suffering and puts them in danger of their living natures being so overwhelmed by total evil that they will be lost from God's Love forever in an eternal lake of fire. Job 2:9; Matthew 12:31-32. But Satan's injection of spiritual death into living humans was wholly an evil work of the Devil intended to completely annul their living natures created by God and torture them forever in an eternal Hell. Job 1:11; Job 2:5. But Jesus came to earth to completely defeat all of the evil works of the Devil and rescue all of His living humans from an eternal death which the Devil desires to inflict on them. Through His death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus has effected a higher and a lesser form of salvation for all living humans. Those who repent and believe while still alive in the flesh become washed clean by the blood of Christ and receive salvation by grace and a home in Heaven with God forever. John 5:24; I Peter 1:3-4; Revelation 1:5. God must confine all living humans who failed to repent while still alive in the flesh to one of the regions of death when they physically die because their living natures are still stained by sin. Hebrews 9:27. But Christ will still save them when He appears to them in the end of the world and causes them all to repent and believe of their own free will. Revelation 5:11-14. God will use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve their systems in order to separate their spiritual deaths that He will cast into the lake of fire from their cleansed, living natures whom He will resurrect and recreate to live on His recreated earth. I Corinthians 3:11-15; II Peter 3:10-13; Psalm 75:3; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5.

The entire New Testament teaches that Christ came to completely destroy the evil works of the Devil, not living humans. I John 3:8; Hebrews 2:14; John 1:29. Isaiah 45:21-24 clearly teaches that God will eventually save all living humans. Christ casts only the evil dead into the lake of fire, not living humans. Revelation 20:11-15. In the end of the world, God will effect a total separation of all that is evil from all the goodness that He created. Revelation 22:11-12. God will absolutely cleanse and recreate everything that He created in the first place, including all living humans. Revelation 21:5. Matthew 15:13; Matthew 13:36-43; Matthew 13:47-50; Matthew 3:10-12.

The World and the Word

        The Inerrant and Infallible Word of God

In Hebrews 8:7-9, God admits that He allowed fallible humans to write flaws into His first covenant which is the Old Testament. This revelation agrees perfectly with Ezekiel 20:25 where God admits that He allowed fallible humans to write statutes and judgments into His Word that could not supply eternal life. In Mark 10:1-12, Jesus admitted that God allowed Moses to write a bill of divorce into God's laws even though Jesus taught that divorce is a sin. In Acts 17:28, God allowed the Apostle Paul to insert quotes from two pagan poets into His inerrant and infallible Word. In Acts 23:25-30, God allowed a letter written by a pagan to be inserted into His Holy Word. In Ezra 5:7-17, God allowed a letter written by His enemies to be inserted into His Holy Word. Nevertheless, God's written Word remains inerrant and infallible because it demonstrates by these examples the infallible truth that all humans are fallible even when God allows them to write something into His Holy Word.

Most contradictions in the Bible (KJB) result from humans' sinful nature, but God's written Word remains inerrant and infallible because it reveals to humans their sinful nature. God's contradictions in the Bible (KJB), such as in Proverbs 26:4-5, are actually paradoxes that indicates a higher truth. Believers saved by grace understand that this paradox teaches that the believer should be led by the Spirit in order to decide whether or not to answer a fool's speech. Unbelievers see only the contradiction. God designed it that way.

God allowed Moses to write a bill of divorce into His Holy Word because God has given humans the free will to choose to sin or to do right. One of the lies of the Devil is that God is dictatorial and demanding. The truth is that God freely allows humans to sin or to do right as they will. God tests His Love by allowing humans to choose to love and obey Him because that is the only true love. If God programmed humans to love Him, that would be a false system. Because God's Love is Almighty and cannot fail, He has devised a plan whereby He will cause all living humans to freely choose to repent and believe and to love Him of their own free will. All through the Bible (KJB), God displayed complete confidence in Himself that He can handle sin and evil and purge it all from His universe so that He can create a new universe wherein "dwelleth righteousness." Humans can choose to sin or to do evil as they will, but God knows how to get rid of it all and save all living humans that He created and loves forever.
