The Old Testament Offerings part one

 In the Old Testament, God commanded that two types of offerings be made for the forgiveness and remission of sins; that is, a sin offering and a burnt offering. Both of these animal sacrifices symbolized all that the coming Savior would do to save the entire human race from all sin and evil. The sin offerings symbolized the blood and water that Christ would shed on the cross to save by His grace all who would repent and believe in Him while still alive in the flesh. Revelation 1:5; I John 1:9; Genesis 3:15; Genesis 3:21. The burnt offerings symbolized the descent of Christ's Spirit into Hell to leave behind there all of the sins and evil of the rest of humanity that Christ bore on the cross. Psalm 16:10; Acts 2:26-31;  Genesis 8:20-21. The innocent Spirit of Christ rose from Hell to reanimate the innocent and perfect body of Jesus, transformed His physical body into a spiritual body, and raised Christ from the dead victorious over all sin, evil, and spiritual death itself. I Peter 3:18; Revelation 1:17-18. Since Christ has "abolished death" as II Timothy 1:10 clearly states, then spiritual death can have no more power whatsoever over any living human. Since the gospel has also "brought life and immortality to light," then every living human whom God has created and loves must receive some form of salvation. John 1:9; Luke 19:10; Luke 20:38; John 11:25. Jesus clearly taught in John 5:28-29 that in His final Judgment and general resurrection in the end of the world, he will raise all of His good and living souls and spirits from the dead, and He will cast their separated, evil natures into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15. Even the most evil human cannot be totally evil. All humans possess a good, living soul and spirit that God puts into them when He creates them in His image. Genesis 1:27. Even Judas Iscariot displayed some goodness still left in him when he felt remorse and tried to repent for his betrayal of Jesus. Matthew 27:3-5.

No verse in the Bible (KJB) teaches that if a person rejects Christ until his physical death, then his living soul and spirit will be lost from God's Love forever. John 11:25 flatly contradicts this doctrine. I Corinthians 13:8 also contradicts this doctrine. Ecclesiastes 3:14 clearly teaches that God can never lose anything He has ever created and loves, as does Psalm 36:6. Jesus taught in John 12:46-48 that He would not judge unbelievers while in physical form in the world because He came "to save the world." Christ cannot fail to do whatever He says He will do. In verse 48, Jesus taught that in His last Judgment, only dead unbelievers will be judged by His Word. In Revelation 20:11-15, "the books were opened," which can only be the Word of God, and only the evil dead will be judged by God's Word and cast into the lake of fire, not living humans whom God will raise from the dead in Revelation 20:5.

In Mark 9:44, 46, and 48, Jesus did not teach that living humans will ever be cast into an eternal lake of fire. He taught that their "worm" would be in the lake of fire. The Bible (KJB) uses the word "worm" to refer to the dead and evil natures of humans that God will separate from all living humans for Him to cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15. When Jesus taught this, He probably referred to Isaiah 66:22-24 which teaches that God will raise all living humans from the dead in the end of the world, and they will be able to observe their own "worms" in the eternal lake of fire. In Isaiah 14:9-11, God prophesies that when He casts the Beast into the lake of fire, only the dead will be there, and he will be covered by "worms." God commanded the Israelites in the desert to eat all of the manna that they gathered in one day and not leave any of it until the morning. The manna symbolized the good life that God gives to every human, but when they disobeyed God and left some of it until the morning, "it bred worms and stank," which symbolized spiritual death which the Devil has injected into all humans similar to the eggs of the worms which had to have come from the air. Exodus 16:18-20; John 6:31-33; Luke 20:38; Psalm 36:6.
