On Truth and Falsity

                     Jesus is the Truth continued

Jesus also told Thomas that He is "the life." John 14:6 (KJB). Christ can not only create and give life, He is Life itself. Christ can extend life from Himself to create physical and spiritual life. Christ can also make physical and spiritual life eternal. Christ can also give His own eternal and perfect Life to believers whom He saves by His grace. John 5:24; John 14:16-18; John 17:1-3 (KJB). When Christ raises all repentant, living humans from the regions of the dead, He will recreate them all to have a created, eternal physical and spiritual life so that they can live on His new earth forever, but they will not possess His own eternal Life. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB).

Jesus also told Thomas, and all of His believers, that He is "the truth." John 14:6 (KJB). Jesus meant that He can not only create the truth, such as the written Word of God, but He is the Truth itself. Since Jesus is Truth itself, then every true system that He ever created must be a part of the Word of God. All of the physical and biological laws of the universe must be a part of the Word of God. Psalm 19:1-4; Romans 1:19-20 (KJB). God gave humans limited intelligence so that humans could create some true systems for the benefit of their fellow humans, but God knew exactly what those systems would be. Acts 15:18 (KJB). God also gave humans the ability to investigate the unknown so that they could discover truth for themselves.

The King James Bible happens to be the infallible and inerrant Word of God in English. All other so-called versions of the Bible leave out a part of God's Word. The King James Bible was translated wholly from the Greek Received Text which is the Word of God in Greek. The KJB is not infallible and inerrant for the reasons many suppose. Many contend that the KJB has to be infallible and inerrant because God cannot make errors, but many who criticize the KJB point out the fact that it does contain some errors and contradictions. But except for a few contradictions that happen to be paradoxes, the errors and contradictions in the KJB happen to be man's errors, not God's. All of the paradoxes can be easily explained such as the one in Proverbs 26:4-5. A believer must be guided by the Holy Spirit to know when to answer or not answer a fool. While it happens to be true that God cannot make errors, God will also never fail to tell humans the exact truth about who they are. Jesus clearly taught that divorce is always a sin. Mark 10:11-12 (KJB). But Jesus also taught that Moses gave God's people divorce, not God. Mark 10:1-9 (KJB). God allowed Moses to give His people divorce because God has tremendous confidence in Himself that He can handle human sin. All through the KJB, God relates that the Devil and evil must be fought against, but God has compassion for sins of weakness. The KJB accurately and faithfully records the human condition with all of its doubts, despair, suffering, and its ability to sin and make errors. The entire books of Job and Ecclesiastes faithfully records the human condition. When in his state of despair, Job said some things which were not true. Job 7:21; Job 10:20-22 (KJB). When king Solomon said "all is vanity," that is certainly not true, but God faithfully records that he said it. Ecclesiastes 1:2 (KJB). God allowed humans to put errors and contradictions even in His Word because that happens to be what humans are prone to do. The KJB is infallible and inerrant because God tells humans the simple truth about who they are and God's solutions to their spiritual problems.

                               Jesus is the Truth

Jesus promised His disciples, and all other believers saved by His grace, that He would make a special place for them in Heaven and that He would return just for His Church, and He will receive His Church to be with Him in Heaven forever. This will be the Rapture of His Church. John 14:1-4 (KJB).

Thomas became perplexed by Jesus' promise because he did not understand where Jesus was going or the way to get there. Thomas seemed to be somewhat of a materialist, and so he spoke as if Jesus were talking about a road that led to some city. John 14:5 (KJB).

Jesus told Thomas, and all of His believers saved by grace, that He is the only way to get to Heaven. John 14:6 (KJB). Jesus would bring Thomas, and all others saved by His grace, to be with Him and His Father in Heaven. Only believers saved by grace receive the gift of eternal life in Heaven. When believers saved by grace die, their souls and spirits immediately go to Heaven. II Corinthians 5:5-9 (KJB). But Christ will save every believer's body also at the Rapture of the Church. Romans 8:10-11; I Corinthians 15:51-57 (KJB). The Holy Spirit washes with the blood of Christ the souls and spirits of all believers saved by grace completely clean of all sins and evil the moment they repent and believe, and so their souls and spirits can go directly to Heaven when they die. I Corinthians 6:11; I John 5:18; Hebrews 10:12-14 (KJB). But believers saved by grace retain their fleshly natures which will cause them to sin. Romans 7:17-20 (KJB). This means that in order for God to save their bodies, the Holy Spirit must wash the fleshly natures of believers clean of all their sins and evil with the water that flowed from Christ on the cross as they daily repent of them. John 13:1-13; I John 1:9 (KJB). This means that the Holy Spirit thoroughly cleans and saves forever the souls and spirits of all believers saved by grace the moment they repent and believe, but the Holy Spirit will also sanctify the entire Church so that the bodies of all believers will be completely cleansed and made perfect at the Rapture of the Church. John 5:24; Ephesians 5:25-27 (KJB). But some believers will backslide and fail to daily repent of their sins and evil, and so their fleshly natures will be filthy with sin and evil when the Rapture happens. But Christ will deal with those backsliders, and He will cause them all to repent just before He Raptures His Church. Ephesians 5:25-27 (KJB).

Even so, God will never forever save the earthly bodies of any humans. The earthly bodies of all humans must die because of sins and evil and return to the dust from which God made them. Genesis 3:19; I Corinthians 15:50 (KJB). Christ will bring new and perfect bodies with Him when He comes to Rapture His Church. II Corinthians 5:1-4 (KJB). These perfect bodies will rise from the graves of all believers saved by grace, and "in the twinkling of an eye" all alive believers will instantly be transformed into their new bodies, and they will leave their dead bodies behind when they rise to meet Christ in the air. I Corinthians 15:50-57 (KJB). Christ will cause every believer to repent so that He can exclude all sins and evil from all of their new bodies that He will create for them. Christ will present His Church to Himself as being absolutely clean and perfect. The new bodies of believers will be a perfected form of their dead bodies. Ephesians 5:25-27 (KJB). God can never lose anything He has ever created. Ecclesiastes 3:14 (KJB). God does not lose the earthly bodies of humans when they die. He simply recycles them. Dead bodies decay and feed plant life which, in turn, provides oxygen and food for animal life. In this way, God makes certain that physical life continues.

  The Rapture and the General Resurrection continued

The Rapture of the Church and the General Resurrection happen to be two separate events that occur in separate Ages. Jesus will definitely Rapture His Church as He promised His disciples that He would. John 14:1-6 (KJB). That will end the Church Age, and the Tribulation Age will begin. Jesus will then come again to the earth to end the Tribulation Age and rescue Israel from destruction. Revelation 19:11-16 (KJB). God will then begin a new Age which will be a thousand year reign of Christ on the earth. Revelation 20:4 (KJB). This Age will end when Satan somehow emerges from his confinement in the bottomless pit to bring evil again into God's world, and Satan will raise an evil army to again attack Jerusalem the capitol of the world. God will destroy the Devil's army with His fiery wrath against evil, and He will cast the Devil into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 20:7-10 (KJB). At the end of the thousand year reign of Christ, He will appear to all living humans confined to the regions of death, cause them all to repent and believe in Him as the Lamb of God, and He will raise all of His living humans from the dead to a new recreated life on His recreated earth. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). God will use His fiery wrath against evil to burn up both Heaven and earth to thoroughly cleanse them both of any taint of evil so that He can begin a new Age of complete righteousness when He recreates the Heaven and the earth. II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). God will thoroughly purge all sin, evil, spiritual death, and the Devil from His entire creation so that He can recreate it all, including all of His living humans, to be wholly righteous. Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 22:11-13 (KJB).

The Rapture of the Church will not happen as many have depicted in sermons and novels. Christians will not suddenly disappear from the world. When Christians read the Bible, they should really pay close attention to that which it actually states. Jesus will appear in the air and announce the Rapture with a loud shout which the whole world will hear. Jesus will then cause an angel to make a loud trumpet blast that the whole world will hear. Jesus will then first raise all Christians from their graves with new bodies to meet Him in the air. After that, Christ will cause all alive Christians to leave their dead bodies behind, and He will raise them with new bodies to meet Him in the air, and the Church will forever be with the Lord. I Thessalonians 4:13-18 (KJB). Earthly bodies can never inherit a home in Heaven. I Corinthians 15:50; Genesis 3:19 (KJB). All of the Christians' new bodies Christ will bring with Him when He comes for His Church. The reference to the "the twinkling of an eye" does not mean a sudden disappearance from the world. This phrase simply means that in an instance of time, believers will receive their recreated bodies that Christ will bring with Him from Heaven, and believers will leave their dead bodies behind. I Corinthians 15:51-57; II Corinthians 5:1-5 (KJB).

     The Rapture and the General Resurrection continued

Jesus gave His broken body on the cross to save the world; that is, every living human who ever lived. John 6:33 (KJB). Jesus gave His broken body and shed His blood on the cross to save by His grace all living humans who would believe in Him while still alive in the flesh. John 6:53 (KJB). Jesus taught that He would give His spiritual flesh "for the life of the world." John 6:27; John 6:31-32; John 6:47-51 (KJB). No where in His teaching about "the bread of life" did Jesus say that anyone who refuses to receive His spiritual bread while still alive in the flesh will be lost from God forever. If that were true, that would have been an indispensable part of His message. When Jesus preached that He will give "the bread of life" to all humans, he had to have meant that He will devise a way to cause all humans to receive it by faith. Some people demanded that Jesus give them a sign that He came from God, and they referred to Moses and said that Moses gave the Israelites in the desert manna to eat. Jesus corrected them and told them that God gave them His manna for them to eat. John 6:30-33 (KJB). All of the Israelites in the desert ate God's manna. They chose life over death. In a similar way, when Jesus fed the five thousand and the four thousand, they all ate until they were filled. They chose food over hunger. Matthew 14:15-21; Matthew 15:32-38 (KJB). When Jesus appears to all living humans confined to the regions of death, He will cause them all to repent and believe in Him as the Lamb of God. They will all choose life over death. When they all see His Majesty and Love, they will receive His spiritual bread because they will choose that their emptiness be filled with His Spirit, and they will choose life over death. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). In this way will Jesus give His spiritual flesh "for the life of the world." John 6:51; John 6:63 (KJB).

Living humans who become saved by God's grace will have to receive by faith both Jesus' spiritual flesh and His spiritual blood. John 6:52-58 (KJB). They must receive by faith Jesus' spiritual flesh in order to gain eternal life and victory over eternal death, and they also must receive by faith the spiritual blood from Jesus' cross so that His Spirit can thoroughly cleanse their souls and spirits of all sin, evil, and spiritual death. Then the Spirit can move into their cleansed and forgiven hearts and give them the eternal life of Christ Himself by means of which God will be able to accept them into Heaven when they die. I Corinthians 6:11; II Corinthians 5:21; John 17:24 (KJB). The Holy Spirit will also cleanse and forgive every believer saved by grace of their fleshly sins and evil with the spiritual water that Jesus shed on the cross as they daily repent of them. I John 1:9 (KJB). Jesus shed actual blood and water on His cross, but the Spirit brings it to believers in spiritual form. John 6:63; I Corinthians 6:11 (KJB). At the last supper in all three of the synoptic gospels, Jesus first gave His disciples the broken bread which symbolized His broken body that He would "give for the life of the world," and only after that did Jesus give them the wine which symbolized His shed blood "for the remission of sins." Matthew 26:26-28; Mark 14:22-24; Luke 22:19-20 (KJB). It is quite significant that Jesus gave His broken bread to Judas Iscariot but not the wine. John 13:25-30 (KJB). God can give a created eternal life to all humans saved to be recreated to live on His recreated earth, but God will give the eternal life of His own Son to all who become saved by His grace.

Jesus promised His believers saved by grace that He will "raise them up at the last day." But Jesus had to have meant the "last day" of the Church Age which will be the Rapture of the Church. John 6:54 (KJB). Jesus will raise and recreate the bodies of all believers saved by grace in the Rapture of the Church. I Thessalonians 4:13-18 (KJB). Jesus also promised all others who will receive by faith His "bread of life" that He will "raise it up again at the last day." John 6:39 (KJB). But when Jesus said that, He must have meant "the last day" near the end of this present world. Revelation 5:20; John 5:28-29 (KJB). Whenever God creates a particular Age, He ends a former Age. This constitutes the eternal renewal of His creations as Jesus taught in Revelation 1:8 and Revelation 22:13. Whenever God brings an Age to a last day, He always begins a new day which is a new Age.

   The Rapture and the General Resurrection continued

All through the New Testament, Jesus taught that He will preserve and save every living human that He ever creates and loves. In Jesus' explanation of the parable of the tares and wheat, Jesus said that the "good seed are the children of the kingdom." Jesus also said that "the tares are the children of the wicked one." There has never been any totally good people in the world, and there has never been any totally evil people in the world. Jesus could only have meant that the "tares" and the "wheat" are inside of every human. Jesus also taught that this parable is about the"end of the world." Jesus had to have meant by this parable that in the end of the world He will use His fiery wrath against evil to separate the "tares," which means the evil nature within every human, from the "wheat," which means the good and living nature within every human, so that He can cast their evil natures into the lake of fire and recreate their righteous natures. Matthew 13:36-43 (KJB).

In Matthew 15:13, Jesus taught: "Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up." Jesus could only have meant by His teaching that God will preserve everything He has ever created, including all living humans, and He will destroy only evil and the Devil. Psalm 36:6 (KJB).

In Luke 14:12-14, Jesus advised an evil Pharisee, who certainly was not saved by grace, to do good works because he would be rewarded "at the resurrection of the just." Jesus had to have meant that this Pharisee had a "just" nature that would be resurrected and rewarded in the general resurrection in the end of the world. Revelation 22:12 (KJB)

In John 5:28-29, Jesus taught that in the general resurrection, those who have done good works because of their good, living natures within them, will be resurrected to life, and their separated, evil natures will be forever damned. Jesus could not have taught about the Rapture of the Church because the Church happens to be saved by God's grace, not by their good works. John 5:24; John 6:28-29; Revelation 22:12 (KJB).

In John 12:31-32, Jesus taught that His cross would be "the judgment of this world," and in this judgment only the Devil and all of his evil works would be cast out. Jesus also taught that His cross "will draw all men unto me." Jesus described what His judgment of the world would be like. On His cross, He would purge the Devil and all of his evil works from all of His living humans so that He can save them all with a higher and a lesser form of salvation. I John 3:8 (KJB). The Devil can stain living humans with sin and evil that Jesus can cleanse and forgive, but the Devil can never cause good and living humans to become totally evil because that would destroy a part of God's creation, and no part of God's creation can ever be destroyed. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Psalm 111:7-8 (KJB). Jesus taught that He will never "cast out" anyone who believes in Him. John 6:37 (KJB). He also taught that: "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me;..." John 12:32 (KJB). The Father had already given Jesus His entire creation because Jesus created it all. This can only mean that Jesus knows how to cause every living human to repent and believe in Him so that He can recover and recreate them all, some by His grace and all others in the general resurrection in the end of the world. John 6:37 (KJB). Jesus even taught that those who are physically dead who believe in Him, He will raise back to life. John 11:25 (KJB). Jesus will accomplish this promise when He appears to all living humans confined to the regions of death, and He will cause them all to repent and believe in Him of their own free will so that He can use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve their beings to separate their good, living natures from their evil natures so that He can save their living natures and destroy their evil natures. Revelation 5:11-14; Philippians 2:9-11; II Peter 3:9-13; Psalm 75:3; Matthew 13:36-43; Luke 3:6; Isaiah 66:22-24 (KJB).

On Truth and Falsity

       The Rapture and the General Resurrection

Many Bible scholars have conflated the Rapture of the Church with the General Resurrection in the end of the world. Some of the Old Testament prophets taught about a general resurrection in the end of the world. Isaiah 66:14-24; Daniel 12:2-4; Isaiah 26:19 (KJB). These prophets clearly taught that every living human will be resurrected to life in this general resurrection. Every individual human possesses both a living image created by God that He can never lose and a spiritually dead nature inherited from the fall of Adam and Eve. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Genesis 2:17; I Corinthians 15:22 (KJB). No matter how evil a particular human may be, that person will do some good in their lives that has been inspired by their living nature that God created. In the general resurrection, God will use His fiery wrath against evil to melt down all humans confined to the regions of death because they will all repent and believe in Christ when He appears to them, and He will separate their good and living natures for Him to recreate from their dead and evil natures which He will cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; Isaiah 66:14-18; Psalm 75:2-3 (KJB). Isaiah clearly taught that God will resurrect all living humans who will be able to look back at their own "worms," which means their dead, spiritual natures, squirming in the lake of fire. Isaiah 66:22-24.

Psalm 107:9-21 has been interpreted to mean that God will bring some humans out of darkness and save them by His grace. But a secondary meaning centers on the phrase "the shadow of death." In the Bible, the phrase "the shadow of death" sometimes means the regions of death that holds all humans who do not become saved by grace. Job 21:21-22; Job 34:20-22; Job 38:17; Psalm 23:4 (KJB). This interpretation can also mean that Psalm 107:9-21 teaches that God will one day cause all living humans confined to the regions of death to repent so that God can bring them out of the regions of death and save them. God will even save all who have rebelled against Him because all of their living natures has done some good. Psalm 68:18; Psalm 107:11 (KJB).

Jesus taught about a general resurrection from the dead. Luke 20:37-38; Matthew 22:31-32; John 5:28-29 (KJB). Jesus taught that all humans are alive to God. Their lives are in the image of God that He creates and loves. God can never lose anything He has ever created. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Psalm 111:7-8 (KJB). God's Love can never fail. I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB). Jesus never told a lost sinner in His entire ministry that He will cast him alive into an eternal lake of fire. Jesus did teach that human "worms" would be in the lake of fire, by which He meant that which Isaiah taught that resurrected, alive humans will be able to look at their own "worms;" that is, their own dead natures in the lake of fire. Mark 9:43-48; Isaiah 66:22-24 (KJB). In Jesus' parable about the rich man and Lazarus, Jesus never said that the rich man would be in Hell forever. Luke 16:19-31 (KJB). The great gulf between the rich man and Abraham's bosom that Abraham said no one could cross can be crossed by Christ. The rich man demonstrated compassion when he asked Abraham to send Lazarus to preach to his five brothers so that they would not be cast into Hell. His compassion demonstrated that he still retained his living image that God had put into him. Near the end of the world, Christ will cross whatever gulf that exists between Heaven and the regions of death, and He will preach to all His living humans confined there, and He will cause them all to repent and believe in Him as the Lamb of God so that He can use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve every one of their beings to separate their repentant, living natures from their spiritual deaths so that He can save their living natures for Him to recreate to live on His recreated earth, and He will cast their dead natures into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; Philippians 2:9-11; II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). Jesus taught that even the smallest good work will have its reward, and He will fulfill that promise. Matthew 10:42; Revelation 22:12 (KJB).

After Jesus taught about human "worms" being in the lake of fire, He taught that He will preserve all of His living humans that He creates and loves. Jesus taught that "every one shall be salted with fire," by which He meant that He will use His fiery wrath against evil to preserve every living human that He ever creates. Mark 9:49; II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 21:1-5; Psalm 75:3; Psalm 36:6; Acts 2:3 (KJB). The "cloven tongues like as of fire" that appeared above the heads of all those in the Church at Pentecost symbolized the fact that Christ had burned up their spiritual deaths. Jesus further taught that "every sacrifice will be salted with salt," by which Jesus meant that He would sacrifice Himself to save and preserve every living human that He ever created. Mark 9:49 (KJB). God commanded that salt be added to every sacrifice made in the Old Testament. Leviticus 2:13 (KJB).

On Truth and Falsity

  The Sin Offering and the Burnt Offering continued

After God cast Adam and Eve out of the garden of Eden, their children began to intermarry with the human race that God had already created. Genesis 4:16-17 (KJB). The children of these intermarriages inherited both spiritual death and free will from the descendants of Adam and Eve which greatly increased their intelligence. Genesis 4:17-22 (KJB). Adam and Eve had another son who replaced Abel called Seth. Seth and his posterity mostly refrained from intermarriage with the already existent human race. Genesis 4:25-26; Genesis 5:6-32 (KJB). At the first, the spiritual life in all humans had the good effect of causing all humans to call on God and worship Him. Genesis 4:26 (KJB). But over time, humans began to more and more allow their evil natures to dominate their good natures until the whole world became evil except for Seth's descendants who were Noah and his family. Genesis 6:5-11 (KJB). The fact that certain "sons of God," who were probably fallen angels, also mated with humans greatly increased the ruination of the human race. Genesis 6:1-4 (KJB).

God decided that He would have to destroy the entire human race with a worldwide flood except for Noah and his family. But it grieved God to have to do that. Genesis 6:5-7 (KJB). Noah and his family had been saved by God's grace. Genesis 6:8-10 (KJB). After the flood was over, and Noah and his family emerged from the Ark to repopulate the earth, God's grief caused Him to devise a plan whereby He could save the lost souls and spirits of every living human He had ever created. He would even save and restore to life all of the souls and spirits of the already existent human race who were confined to the regions of death. I Peter 3:18-22 (KJB).

God instructed Noah to make a burnt offering which symbolized His decision to effect a means to save the living souls and spirits of the entire human race. Because of the burnt offering, God would remove His curse from the ground so that He would be able to liberate all living humans from the regions of death. Genesis 3:17 (KJB). God recognized that the evil in the hearts of all living humans would not prevent Him from being able to save them from eternal, spiritual death. God would use His fiery wrath against evil to burn it all. Revelation 20:11-14 (KJB). And God determined that He would never again "smite;" that is, kill, all of His living humans as He had done with the flood. Genesis 8:20-21 (KJB). The Old Testament burnt offerings that God gave to the Israelites had this same symbolism. Even the meat offering, which was actually just flour mixed with oil and frankincense, could make humans holy, and they can be holy only if they are alive. Leviticus 6:14-18 (KJB). God determined that not only would His Son sacrifice Himself on a cross to save some living humans by His grace, but He would also cause His Spirit to descend into Hell to effect a burnt offering sacrifice that would save all of His living humans confined to the regions of death when He would appear to them in the end of the world. Revelation 5:11-14; Philippians 2:9-11 (KJB). This had to happen because Christ bore the sins and evil of the entire human race on His cross. I John 2:1-2 (KJB). Jesus' Spirit descended into Hell bearing the sins and evil of all living humans who would not become saved by grace, and He left all those sins and evil there when He ascended immaculate from the regions of death to reanimate the perfect body of Jesus so that He could rise from the dead victorious over all evil, sins, spiritual death, and all the works of the Devil. Psalm 16:9-11; Acts 2:25-31; I John 3:8; John 11:25; Revelation 1:17-18; II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB).

Jesus actually saved all whom He would save by His grace when He shed His blood and water on the cross, but that salvation cannot become effective for the believer until the Holy Spirit brings the blood of Jesus in spiritual form to the hearts of all humans who repent and believe in Christ as their Savior. I Corinthians 6:11 (KJB). The Holy Spirit also brings the spiritual water from the cross of Chirst to cleanse believers as they daily repent. I John 1:8-9 (KJB). In the same way, the Spirit descended into Hell to purge all of the sins and evil of the rest of humanity by the fiery wrath of God, but that form of salvation does not become effective until Jesus appears to all living humans confined to the regions of death and causes them all to repent and believe in Him of their own free will as the Lamb of God. Revelation 5:11-14; Philippians 2:9-11; Colossians 1:15-23 (KJB).

     The Sin Offering and the Burnt Offering continued

The fact that God could forgive sins and evil by the use of a burnt offering apart from the shedding of blood does not contradict Hebrews 9:22 (KJB). The key word in Hebrews 9:22 is "remission," which means not only to forgive but also to pardon. Only a person still alive in the flesh whose sins and evil has been washed away by the blood of Christ can be pardoned. Hebrews 9:22 refers only to living humans who become saved by God's grace. Living humans confined to the regions of death become saved with a lesser form of salvation because when they repent and believe in Christ the Lamb of God, God will use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve their beings (melt them down so to speak) in order to separate their good and living natures which He created and loves from their sinful and evil natures which He will burn in an eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; II Peter 3:9-13; Psalm 75:3; Revelation 20:11-14 (KJB). The burnt offering symbolizes the fact that God will utterly destroy only sin, evil, spiritual death, and the Devil in a burning lake of fire so that He can liberate all of His living humans from eternal death and recreate them all to live on His recreated earth. Psalm 75:3; II Peter 3:9-13; Leviticus 6:14-18; Leviticus 6:8-13 (KJB).

The curse of spiritual death which entered into the inner beings of Adam and Eve, and all of their posterity, when they sinned will never cause the living natures of all humans to ever suffer an eternal spiritual death and eternal separation from God's Love. God can never lose anything He has ever created. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Psalm 111:7-8 (KJB). God never cursed Adam and Eve. God cursed only the Devil and the ground that holds the regions of death. Genesis 3:14-19. God also made Eve the "mother of all living," and He told Luke that "He is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto Him," and God said "and the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death," meaning spiritual death. Genesis 3:20; Luke 20:38; I Corinthians 15:26 (KJB). Jesus clearly taught that when He effects the general resurrection, all who believe in Him will be restored to life from the regions of death. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5 (KJB). All who believe in Jesus while still alive in the flesh will be made fully alive by His grace. John 11:25-26; John 5:24 (KJB). Christ will restore all humans to life because He will separate all their spiritual deaths from them. I Corinthians 15:20-22 (KJB). God will save all humans alive, especially those who become saved by His grace. They receive a special form of salvation. I Timothy 4:10 (KJB). God's Will is that all humans come to repentance and faith, and who can thwart God's Will. Can God's Will ever fail? II Peter 3:9 (KJB). Clearly, from the beginning, God determined that He would save all of His living humans from eternal, spiritual death, and all of the sins and evil that causes it, and He will cast only their separated evil, sins, and spiritual deaths into the eternal lake of fire.

An exact reading of the Word of God reveals that God will cast only dead humans into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15 (KJB). To conflate living humans with dead humans is to misread the Word of God. Life and death are opposites. They cannot be conflated. God will cast only dead humans into the lake of fire because He will have already used His fiery wrath against evil to separate their living souls and spirits from their spiritual deaths so that He can recreate their living souls and spirits with new bodies to live on His recreated earth. Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). Revelation 21:5 is especially significant because God promises that "Behold, I make all things new." God has created all things, including all living humans. Revelation 4:11 (KJB). The Old Testament burnt offerings symbolized this form of salvation. Genesis 8:20-21 (KJB).

God killed an animal and shed its blood to make coats for Adam and Eve to cover their sins and nakedness. This was the same as the sin offering that God gave to the Israelites to symbolize all living humans whom God would save by His grace through the shed blood and water that flowed from Christ on the cross. Genesis 3:21; Matthew 26:28; I John 1:9 (KJB).

On Truth and Falsity

         The Sin Offering and the Burnt Offering

In Leviticus 5:7-10, God commanded that a man who could not bring a lamb for a sin offering could bring two turtledoves or two pigeons "one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering." God clearly meant to demonstrate that the sin offering and the burnt offering be two different and distinct offerings for two different purposes, but they both were for the forgiveness of sins. In the sin offering, the shed blood of a clean animal was always applied to something, to the altar, to the doorposts and lintel of the Israelites in Egypt, to the horns of the altar before the Tabernacle, or applied to the incense altar before the Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle. Exodus 12:1-11; Leviticus 4:1-12 (KJB). But except for two notable exceptions, always after the sin offering, the rest of the offered animal had to be burned either on the burnt offering altar outside of the Tabernacle or burned outside the camp. The sin offering symbolized the fact that Jesus would shed His blood on a cross so that He could apply His shed blood to the inner beings of all who would accept His sacrifice by faith before they die. His Spirit will thoroughly cleanse their souls and spirits with the spiritual blood of Christ, and He will make a Tabernacle for Himself in their hearts. John 5:24; I John 1:7; I Corinthians 6:19-20; I Corinthians 6:11 (KJB).

The symbolic purpose of the sin offering was to cleanse and forgive sinners who would become saved by God's grace. The symbolic purpose of the burnt offering was to burn up all sin, evil, spiritual death, and the Devil so that God could separate it all from the rest of humanity, forgive them, and provide them with a lesser form of salvation.

In the case of the man who brought two turtledoves or two pigeons for his sin offering, one was made a sin offering and the other a burnt offering. These were two separate and distinct offerings. Yet, the man could be forgiven for his sins because of the burnt offering alone apart from the sin offering. Leviticus 5:10 (KJB). The other notable exception was that the priests could offer a meat offering to the Lord. This offering was not the meat of an animal, but it was flour seasoned with oil and frankincense. This offering was not a blood sacrifice, and yet, this burnt offering was just as holy as was the sin offering, and all who ate of it were holy. Leviticus 6:14-18 (KJB). In addition, whenever the priests made a specific burnt offering, they would take the ashes of the burnt offering to a "clean place," and God commanded that they would continuously feed wood to the fire in the altar of the burnt offering to never let it go out. Leviticus 6:8-13 (KJB). Also at times, some of the leftover meat of the animals that were burned on the altar would be taken outside of the camp and burned. Leviticus 8:17 (KJB).

The fact that parts of the burnt offerings were sometimes burned outside the camp symbolized that God made His burnt offering sacrifice for all the people of the earth who do not become saved by His grace. Jesus suffered on a cross outside the camp not only to save living humans by His grace, but He saved the rest of living humanity by a burnt offering. When Jesus died on the cross, His Spirit descended into a burning Hell to leave behind all of the sins and evil of all His living humans who fail to become saved by His grace. Psalm 16:9-10; Acts 2:25-31 (KJB). Jesus will cause a separation of all their sins and evil from all of His living humans confined to the regions of death when He dissolves all of their beings with His fiery wrath against evil, cleanses and forgives them all, and He will cause them all to repent and believe in Him as the Lamb of God when He appears to them near the end of the world. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). Just as the priests took the ashes of the burnt offering to a "clean place," Jesus will recover and recreate all of His cleansed, living souls and spirits from the regions of death with new bodies to live on His recreated earth. Revelation 5:11-14; Psalm 75:1-3; II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 22:11-12 (KJB).

The fact that the priests and all the males could eat the meat offering and become just as holy as if they ate of the sin offering accords with that which Jesus taught in John 6:33 and in John 6:50-51 (KJB). Humans who become saved by grace must be washed in Jesus' blood, but Jesus will save the rest of humanity when they partake of Him by faith when He appears to them as the Lamb of God near the end of the world. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). When the broken body of Jesus died on the cross, He dismissed His Spirit to descend into Hell to be a burnt offering sacrifice for all living humans who do not become saved by His grace. This fact means that all living humans confined to the regions of death will spiritually partake of the broken body of Jesus by faith when He appears to them near the end of the world, and all of them will receive a lesser form of salvation. All living humans who spiritually partake of the "living bread" will be saved from the regions of death. John 6:33; John 6:50-51 (KJB). All living humans who spiritually partake of both the "living bread" and the blood of Jesus will be saved by His grace. John 6:52-58 (KJB).

On Truth and Falsity

           Knowledge of Good and Evil continued

All humans will suffer for their sins and evil but only temporarily. Genesis 3:16-19 (KJB). The Devil seeks to connect the spiritual deaths inside of all humans to an eternal spiritual death and thereby annul a part of God's creation. God gives humans saved by grace complete victory over all their sins and evil  and over their spiritual deaths the moment they repent and put their faith in Christ. God annuls their spiritual deaths and gives them the eternal life and righteousness of Christ Himself. John 5:24; II Corinthians 5:21 (KJB). Humans who do not become saved by grace will have to complete their temporary suffering for their sins and evil when God casts them into one of the regions of death after they die. Hebrews 9:27 (KJB). When humans saved by grace die, Christ's only judgment of them is that they get to go straight to Heaven because He has already annulled their spiritual deaths, and they possess His own perfect righteousness which will allow the Father to accept them into Heaven to live with Him there forever. When humans not saved by grace die, Christ will cause them to have to complete their sufferings for their sins and evil when He casts their souls and spirits into one of the three regions of death. Revelation 20:13; Hebrews 9:27 (KJB). In the first part of Hebrews 9:28, the "many" refers to those whom Jesus will save by His grace. But the second part of Hebrews 9:28 refers to "those who look for Him" as being those living humans confined to the regions of death who look for Jesus to come and rescue them. Revelation 5:11-14; Hebrews 9:28 (KJB). Humans who look for Jesus to Rapture them know that they are already saved. Hebrews 9:28 proves that God has a higher and a lesser form of salvation for all living humans.

Only Christ has the right to judge living humans after they die, but as a general rule, one can speculate that those humans not saved by grace who allowed their good natures to dominate their evil natures, Christ will consign to the lesser punishment of being cast into the Sea of forgetfulness. Revelation 20:13; Micah 7:18-19 (KJB). Humans who led immoral lives who committed many sins of weakness, Christ will cast into the moderate form of punishment which is the bottomless pit. Revelation 20:13 (KJB). Good humans and immoral humans who commit sins of weakness do so because they are influenced by their spiritual deaths within them. But humans who turn their lives over to evil and commit deliberate sins of cruelty and in defiance of God, Christ will cast into a burning Hell. Revelation 20:13 (KJB). Evil humans become so because they allow demonic forces to directly influence them. Evil humans can get saved by grace, but that is very rare. All through the Bible, God displayed compassion for good humans and immoral humans who committed sins of weakness, and all humans in the Bible who became saved by grace were in these categories except one. In the entire Bible, the only evil person who became saved by grace was the Apostle Paul. Acts 9:1-6 (KJB).

All sins are not the same. The Bible clearly teaches in Numbers 15:22-36 that there are sins of weakness and there are evil sins. Those who sinned in "ignorance," if they offered a sin offering or a burnt offering, God would forgive them. The word "ignorance" in these verses means a sin of weakness. But those who sinned "presumptuously" would be put to death. The word "presumptuously" literally means "with an open hand" which figuratively means deliberately and willfully.

The man who picked up sticks on the Sabbath refused to ask for a sin offering or a burnt offering to be made for him. He willfully and deliberately sinned against God and was not sorry for it. He had to be put to death. Numbers 15:32-36 (KJB). This man symbolized evil and spiritual death itself which God will separate from all living humans by the use of His fiery wrath against evil when Christ appears to them within the regions of death. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). Even those living humans confined to the region of Hell will repent and believe in Christ as the Lamb of God when He appears to them. Jesus sacrificed Himself on the cross and rose from the dead to save all of His living humans whom He creates and loves. I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB). Christ only destroys His enemies which are evil, sin, spiritual death, and the Devil. Genesis 3:15 (KJB). Christ's Spirit descended into Hell to effect God's fiery wrath against evil so that Christ could separate all spiritual death from all living humans confined to the regions of death when He appears to them. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). The Spirit of Christ then rose immaculate from the regions of death to reanimate the perfect body of Jesus so that He could rise from the dead victorious over all sin, evil, spiritual death, and the Devil. Psalm 16:8-11; Acts 2:25-31; I John 3:8; John 11:25-26; Revelation 1:17-18; Revelation 21:1-5; (KJB). I Timothy 4:10 clearly teaches that God will save all living humans whom He creates and loves. I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB). Ecclesiastes 3:14 clearly teaches that God can never lose anything He has ever created. Psalm 111:7-8 (KJB). Revelation 21:5 clearly teaches that God will recreate all things that He ever created which must include all living humans. Revelation 4:11 (KJB). God could certainly get no pleasure from His living humans burning in an eternal Hell.
