The Fiery Wrath of God

                                             Leviticus 18:5,21 KJB

In this chapter of Leviticus, God warned His people not to practice any of the evils of any of the pagan nations that surrounded them. God's people were to refrain from the practices of incest, adultery, homosexual acts, and sex with animals, all of which the gods of the pagans allowed. But the worst evil that the gods of the pagans allowed was that if any parent of a child, usually a baby, were to cast their child alive into a fiery pit that burned before an idol, then that god would reward them with prosperity. But these pagan gods were really just devils who influenced these pagan people to practice the most horrible evils. The fiery pits that were before these gods actually represented the burning Hell, and the burning of innocent children in those fires represented the desire of the devils to utterly destroy the good and living natures of all humans whom God creates in His image. Genesis 1:26-27 (KJB). The desire of Satan and all evil is to reduce the good and living natures of all humans to total evil, as are the devils, so that he can prove that God's Love can fail which he believes will eventually give him the opportunity to find a way to murder God. All sins and evil are destructive, and the temptations of the devils that humans will only gain pleasure and prosperity through the practice of sin and evil are nothing but cruel lies. Genesis 3:1-5; John 8:44 (KJB). God can never lose anything He has ever created, and His Love can never fail. Ecclesiastes 3:14; I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB). 

God promised His people that if they obeyed His "statues" and "judgments," then they would live in them, and since whatever God gives lasts forever, then they would live forever. Romans 11:29 (KJB). By this promise, God did not mean that His people would not sin because all humans inevitably sin. Romans 3:23 (KJB). But a part of God's Word happens to be that humans should repent of their sins and evil and keep the faith that God puts into them when He creates them that God can and will save them from all sins and evil. Genesis 1:31; Romans 10:13 (KJB). The sacrifice of clean animals by the Hebrews represented this statue from God. God's Son fulfilled this promise from God through His sacrifice, death, burial, and resurrection. I Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJB). Those who put their faith in the power of Christ to save them while still alive in the flesh will receive His everlasting life and salvation by His grace. John 5:24; John 3:3 (KJB). But since God can never lose anything He has ever created, then He must find a way to save the rest of humanity. I Timothy 4:10 (KJB). 

All of this means that God's promise of everlasting life to all humans who keep His "statues" and "judgments" must be a different form of salvation than that of grace. Leviticus 18:5 (KJB). Persons who become saved by grace must at least believe that God can directly cleanse them of all sins and evil when they repent, as did the Old Testament saints who became saved by God's grace. Psalm 51:1-12 (KJB). But God puts His light of goodness and faith into every human that He creates. Genesis 1:31 (KJB). God can never lose that. For this reason, even the most evil humans who ever lived knows deep within themselves that they are doing wrong when they sin or do evil acts. God can never lose to the Devil anything He has ever created. Ecclesiastes 3:14 (KJB). Because of this fact, Christ, near the end of the world, will visit all of His good and living humans on the earth and confined to the regions of death, and when they see His tremendous majesty and love, they will all repent and return to faith in Him as their Savior. Christ will then use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve all of their beings to separate their repentant, living natures from their dead and evil natures so that He can recreate their living natures with new bodies to live on His recreated earth forever, and He will cast their dead and evil natures into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; II Peter 3:9-13; John 5:28-29; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). These recreated humans will not possess the very righteousness of Christ as does those saved by grace, but they will be recreated in the righteous image of God as was Adam and Eve before they sinned. But those Hebrews who refrained from the evils of the world, and who tried to keep God's Law, will enjoy a special place on God's new earth because they will be the citizens of the state of Israel which will rule the entire earth. Isaiah 66:12-24 (KJB).

Since God loves all humans, then what does He love about them? If humans became totally evil in the fall of the human race, then God could only hate them because they all would be demonic. If humans were demonic, they would be incapable of doing any good at all. But even the most evil humans do some good in life which demonstrates that they still retain that good nature that God put into them. Those scriptures that relate that humans are worth nothing can only mean their dead and evil natures. Romans 3:10 (KJB). Romans 2:1-29 teaches that all humans possess a good nature created by God and an evil nature instilled into them by the Devil. Genesis 3:15 (KJB). Even the rich man in Hell demonstrated that he still retained his good nature when he showed compassion for his brothers when he requested that God send Lazarus to warn them about Hell. Luke 16:19-31 (KJB). God can only love that which is good, and so God loves and will save every good  and living nature of every human He ever creates. I Timothy 4:10; II Timothy 1:10; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB).    

The Fiery Wrath of God

                                           Leviticus 16:1-34 KJB

When God commanded Aaron to bring a bullock and two goats for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, then there had to be a distinct purpose for each offering even though they were always of necessity linked to each other. The burnt offering could never be made without the sin offering first being made. God gave the sin offering to Adam and Eve and all of their descendants to symbolize the shed blood of the coming Messiah who would save by His grace any human who would ever put their faith in Him as their Savior while they were still alive in the flesh. Genesis 3:20-21 (KJB). God gave the burnt offering to Noah and all of his descendants to symbolize that God will use His fiery wrath against evil to utterly consume all of the sins and evil in the hearts of all humans who do not become saved by His grace so that He can save them all from eternal death by His mercy. God promised that He would never again "smite;" that is, kill any future humans without any remedy for their salvation as He had done in the great worldwide flood. Genesis 6:5-7; Genesis 8:20-21 (KJB). God also made His burnt offering salvation retroactive for all humans whom He had killed in the flood. I Peter 3:18-20 (KJB). God knows exactly how to return all of His living humans confined to the regions of death to faith in Him as their Savior. Habakkuk 2:4; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). 

God then commanded Aaron to select one of the two goats by some form of random choice to be a sin offering for the people, and he must put his hands on the other goat to symbolize that he had transferred all of the sins and evil of all the Israelites to that goat. A "fit man" was then to take that other goat to the wilderness and release him alive. That goat would know how to keep himself alive in the wilderness, but he would eventually die. If the wilderness symbolized the regions of death, then all sinners whom God must confine to the regions of death will still possess their living natures which God created in His image, and they will also possess a dead and evil nature. Since Aaron symbolically transferred all of the sins and evil of all of the people to the scapegoat, then the goat that became the sin offering had to be symbolically innocent, but he died so that the scapegoat could live. Our innocent Savior bled and died on a cross to save the entire human race from eternal death. Hebrews 2:9 (KJB). He can save by His grace, or He will save all of His living humans on the earth or confined to the regions of death by causing them all to repent and return to faith in Him as their Savior so that He can use His fiery wrath against evil to separate their good and living natures from their dead and evil natures so that He can recreate their living natures with everlasting life on His new earth, and He will cast their dead and evil natures into the eternal lake of fire. Leviticus 16:7-10; Leviticus 16:20-22; Genesis 3:15; Genesis 3:20-21; Luke 20:38; II Timothy 1:10; John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). 

God then commanded Aaron to bring the blood of the bullock and of the goat that was offered as a sin offering into the Holy place in the Tabernacle and sprinkle their blood on the mercy seat to symbolize all humans who would become saved by His grace. But the flesh, the skin, and the dung of these animals had to be burned outside the camp. Christ became a sin offering and a burnt offering outside the camp. Hebrews 13:10-14 (KJB). Christ shed His blood on the cross to save all who would ever become saved by His grace, but His Spirit descended into Hell to make a burnt offering sacrifice for the salvation of the rest of humanity. Aaron could not bring the burnt offering into the Holy place in the Tabernacle, but he could bring into the Holy place the proper incense that he had put into a censer that held burning coals that had been taken from the fire of the burnt offering. The smoke from that burning incense filled the Holy place and covered the mercy seat. The smoke symbolized that the Holy Spirit would make the burnt offering sacrifice that would cover the mercy seat in Heaven so that God could save all of the rest of humanity by His mercy who did not become saved by His grace. Psalm 16:9-11; Acts 2:25-31; Matthew 13:36-43; II Timothy 1:10; I Timothy 4:10; I Corinthians 3:11-15; II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 21:5 (KJB). 

God then commanded that on October tenth of every year, the high priest should enter the Holy place in the Tabernacle to make a reconciliation to God for all of the people, but they all had to repent and believe that God could save them from their sins. The sin offering and the burnt offering made a reconciliation for the entire congregation of the people. The Apostle Paul revealed that God had extended His salvation by His grace to all the Gentiles, and since God reconciled the entire congregation of the Israelites to Himself, then God will reconcile all of the Gentiles to Himself as well through the blood sacrifice of Christ and through the burnt offering sacrifice of the Holy Spirit. Romans 11:13-36; I Corinthians 15:22; Colossians 1:15-23; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). 

Consciousness and Truth

Jean Paul Sartre so aptly wrote: "All consciousness is consciousness of something." Consciousness experiences the difference between something and nothing, and it matters not whether that experience is an illusion  or reality; there can be no doubt whatsoever that consciousness experiences. Even those who deny that consciousness exists cannot deny that they experience a denial that consciousness exists. Consciousness always experiences something. 

This undeniable fact from Jean Paul Sartre raises the question: What exists in the absence of consciousness? Since only consciousness can experience the difference between something and nothing, then no difference can exist between something and nothing in the absence of consciousness. Those who contend that reality remains the same in the absence of consciousness, and that the difference between something and nothing exists on its own, forget that they must use their imaginations to distinguish between something and nothing in order to make that claim. The question they must really ask themselves is what exists in a state of absolute nonconsciousness? They cannot use their imaginations to answer that question, and so the only possible answer can only be that absolutely nothing exists in a nonconscious state. They cannot claim that nothing exists because only consciousness can tell the difference between something and nothing. Thus, something can only exist as an idea in the mind, and nothing also can only exist as an idea in the mind. Only consciousness can establish reality even if reality happens to be only an illusion. 

The search for truth in science happens to be based on two standards of experience; that is, observation and experimentation. In the absence of these experiences, no truth can be known for certain. The consciousness of the scientist becomes absolutely necessary for the discovery and the knowledge of the truth. In a state of nonconsciousness, they can know absolutely nothing. Therefore, the only creative process is a known process, and the only truth is a known truth. 

But those scientists who adhere to the theory of evolution believe that an absolutely blind and nonconscious process produced the universe and all life. As such, they violate their own standard of learning by observation because everyone knows that no nonconscious process ever produces an operational system of any kind, much less a system as complicated as life. Has anyone ever observed a nonconscious corpse do anything but decay? Nonconsciousness never experiences anything, and without consciousness there can be no creative processes of any kind. The evolutionists claim that the billions of years of the universe eventually produces viable systems. But common sense knows that even if the universe were trillions of years old and nonconscious, it could never produce a complex system of any kind. 

An Infinite Consciousness that knows everything that can be known must exist to create the universe and life. Genesis 1:1 (KJB). 

The Fiery Wrath of God

                                Leviticus 13:1-59 KJB

The Holy Spirit wrote God's Word for the benefit of all who would ever read it and not for just the ancient Israelites. For that reason, the Bible contains much symbolic language.

Thus the plague of leprosy probably symbolizes the effects of all sins and evil. God appointed a special priest who would diligently study the differences between a case of leprosy and a mere skin infection that would heal on its own. This priest knew that the cases of leprosy had to be separated from the camp because leprosy would infect many other people. Leviticus 13:45-46 (KJB). This priest would examine any person with a skin problem, and he would be able to tell the difference between those who had leprosy and those who had an ordinary skin infection that would heal.

Sin and evil spreads like a plague from person to person. The Church of Jesus Christ must separate all persons in the Church who openly practice sin and evil from the congregation because they will tend to infect others in the congregation. II Corinthians 6:11-18 (KJB).

If the priest had had all lepers put to death and burned their bodies, then they would probably have rid themselves of that plague altogether. But they put them outside the camp, fed them, and allowed them to live. In a similar manner, God sends all humans who cling to their sins and evil to one of the regions of death when they die because they did not become cleansed by the blood of Christ, but He still allows them to live because He created their lives to be good, and He loves them. Genesis 1:31; Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 3:20-21; Luke 20:38 (KJB). Christ will appear to all of His living humans "on the earth, and under the earth" near the end of the world, and He will use His fiery wrath against evil to forever burn all of their sins and evil so that He can save and recreate their repentant, living souls and spirits with new bodies to live on His recreated earth forever. Revelation 5:11-14; II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB).

This priest also had to deal with any garments that the lepers wore because they could infect with leprosy any person who might wear them. The priest could either wash them or He must burn them. This priest had been trained to recognize the difference between a garment that had been cleansed of leprosy by being washed from that garment which had to be burned. Similarly, any living human in the flesh can be cleansed of all of his sins and evil by putting his faith in Christ so that he can be washed clean of all sins and evil by the blood that Jesus shed on the cross. Matthew 26:28; John 5:24; Revelation 7:9-14 (KJB). But when the priest had to burn an infected garment, he burnt only the garment and not the living person who wore that garment. Similarly, all living humans are forever alive to God, and all those whom He does not save by His grace He will make a way to save them all from the eternal death that sin and evil causes by His use of His fiery wrath against evil to burn only their dead and sinful natures after He causes them all to repent and return to faith in Christ as their Savior. Luke 20:38; Revelation 5:11-14; John 5:24; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). The only enemies of God are the Devil and all evil, and God will utterly burn and forever destroy only the Devil and all sins and evil, not any of His living humans whom He creates and loves because He will sooner or later cause them all to repent and accept Christ as their Savior. John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14; Genesis 3:20-21; Genesis 8:20-21; I Corinthians 15:20-26; II Timothy 1:10; I John 3:8; Revelation 21:1-5; John 12:31-32 (KJB).

The Fiery Wrath of God

                                 Leviticus 10:1-20 KJB

God expects His people to believe in Him and worship Him according to the dictates of the Word of God. When the Israelites were in the wilderness, God appointed Moses to relate God's instructions to the priests and the people as to what kind of faith they should have and what kind of worship they should perform.

Nadab and Abihu, two of Aaron's sons, offered "strange fire" in worship of the Lord which went directly against Moses' instructions. Because they violated the Word of God, God sent fire down that "devoured them." Moses then warned Aaron that God had said that He "will be sanctified in them that come nigh me," which means His Holy Spirit will be in the hearts of all humans who become saved by His grace. John 5:24 (KJB). Moses also told Aaron that God will be glorified "before all the people" which can only mean that all people will one day believe in God and will worship Him who are not saved by grace. Revelation 5:11-14; Proverbs 15:24 (KJB).

Moses instructed two men to carry the bodies of Nadab and Abihu out of the camp. Nadab and Abihu were like all those who have started cults which have plagued both Judaism and Christianity since the beginnings of these true faiths. Cults always have beliefs that go directly against the basic and fundamental teachings of the Word of God. For this reason, God used the examples of Nadab and Abihu to warn all persons who start cults that He will send them to a burning Hell when they die. God uses His fiery wrath against evil to destroy evil, but God will not cause even these types of evil people to remain in Hell forever. They possess a spirit and soul that God created and loves, and God possesses Almighty Love which cannot fail, and so He will provide a way to rescue all of His living humans whom He creates and loves from the regions of death when Christ appears to them near the end of the world, and He causes them all to repent and return to faith in Him as their Savior of their own free will. Revelation 5:11-14; Proverbs 15:24 (KJB). Christ will then use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve all of their beings in order to separate their repentant, good and living natures that Christ will save from eternal death forever from their dead and evil natures that He will cast into the eternal lake of fire. II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). God will one day save the living souls and spirits of Nadab and Abihu and even of Judas Iscariot, but with a lesser form of salvation than that of grace.

Moses then commanded Aaron and his sons to conduct all of their worship services and animal sacrifices strictly in accordance with his instructions that he received from God. They were not to drink strong drinks when they worshiped because that could cause them to make errors. Leviticus 10:5-15 (KJB).

All Christians, of whatever denomination, must adhere to the basic and fundamental teachings of God's Word in order to be Christians. They must believe in the Deity of Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His sacrifice of Himself to save all who would become saved by His grace, His descent into Hell, and in His resurrection from the dead in victory over death and the Devil at least for those saved by His grace. I Corinthias 15:1-4 (KJB). I John 3:8 clearly teaches that Christ came "to destroy the works of the Devil." All of the souls and spirits that God creates in His image and whom He loves can never be the work of the Devil. Genesis 1:31; Genesis 1:26-27 (KJB). Therefore, God must save all of His living humans either by His grace or with a lesser form of salvation.

Moses discovered that Aaron and his sons had made an error in the way they had made a certain animal sacrifice. He became angry, and he reviled Aaron's sons for making this mistake. But Aaron answered him by saying that his sons, the priests, had faithfully made all of their sacrifices that day, and so they should not have been reviled for making one mistake. Aaron also objected that if he had eaten a part of a lamb that had not been properly sacrificed, then would God have accepted that? Moses became content with Aaron's answer which probably meant that God was also content. All of this means that there exists a distinct difference in an error in faith and a deliberate denial of the right kind of faith.

Jesus taught that God can do mighty works through even the smallest amount of faith in a believer. Matthew 17:20 (KJB). If a Catholic receives the Eucharist as merely a rite of religion, then he has no faith that the shed blood of Christ can save him from his sins. But if he receives the Eucharist with true faith that it is the actual blood of Jesus that cleanses him of his sins, then God will save him by His grace because of his faith, and God will ignore the fact that he did not receive the actual blood of Christ, but he did receive the spiritual blood of Christ. His faith was just weak. John 6:63; I Corinthians 6:11 (KJB). Those who believe that they must add their own good works to the finished work of Christ in order to be saved simply suffer from a weakness in their faith. They are still saved by grace. John 19:30; Hebrews 1:3 (KJB). Those who believe that they can lose their salvation after being saved by grace simply suffer from a weakness in their faith. They are still saved by grace. John 10:28-30 (KJB). Those who believe that they must be baptized in water in order to complete their salvation simply suffer from a weakness in their faith. They are still saved by grace. John 3:3; I Corinthians 6:11 (KJB). Those who believe that God will not save from eternal death any unbeliever who physically dies, even though no verse in the entire Bible teaches that, suffers from a weakness in their faith. They are still saved by God's grace. John 12:31-32; John 12:47-48; John 11:25-26; John 5:28-29; John 16:33; I Timothy 4:10 (KJB). But those who believe in the entire truth of God's Word should believe that God's Love can never fail. I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB). They should also believe that God can never lose to eternal death anything He has ever created. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Psalm 111:7-9 (KJB). They should believe that God has an Infinite Intellect so that He can devise a plan to cause every living human that He creates to eventually return to faith in Him as their Savior so that He can save them all either by His grace or by His mercy in the end of the world. Psalm 147:5; John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14; John 11:25-26; John 5:28-29; I Corinthians 3:11-15; I Timothy 4:10; II Timothy 1:10; I John 3:8; Psalm 36:6; Philippians 2:9-11; Colossians 1:15-23; Romans 8:18-23; I Corinthians 15:20-26; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 22:11-12 (KJB). Believers saved by grace should believe in the Absolute Almighty Power and Compassion of God. I Peter 3:9; I Corinthians 4:5; II Timothy 1:10; Revelation 21:5 (KJB

The Fiery Wrath of God

                   Matthew 13:24-30  Matthew 13:36-43 KJB

This parable must be interpreted to mean exactly that which Jesus said and not in any way that changes what Jesus said. In this parable, Jesus said nothing about the Church or any unbelievers in the Church.

Jesus began His parable with a reference to a man who sowed good seed in his field. Jesus' statement agrees completely with God's creation of the world and of all humans that God creates to be good. God creates humans to be good, and Heaven and earth are in perfect agreement. Genesis 1:31; Genesis 1:26-27 (KJB).

An enemy came and sowed tares which grew with the wheat. Jesus' statement agrees completely with the fact that when humans sinned, then Satan gained the right to sow spiritual death into the inner beings of every human which inevitably causes humans to sin and commit evil acts. God warned Adam not to eat of the forbidden fruit because that would cause him to die. Genesis 2:17 (KJB). After Adam and Eve sinned, God cursed only the Devil and the ground which holds the regions of death. God never cursed Adam and Eve or any of their descendants. God gave Adam and Eve, and their descendants, only temporary punishments for their sins, and so when God told Adam and Eve that they would physically die, He meant that it would be only a temporary punishment. Genesis 3:16-19 (KJB). Only the Devil and evil itself are under a permanent purge from all of God's creation. II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 21:5 (KJB). God did decree that the Devil would have his "seed" which he would plant inside every human, and God also decreed that the "seed" of the woman, who would be the Messiah, would utterly destroy the "seed" of the Devil. Christ will crush his head, which can only mean that Christ will completely purge the Devil and all evil out of His creation. I John 3:8 (KJB). Christ will also save from eternal death every living human that He ever creates. I Timothy 4:10; II Timothy 1:10 (KJB). God also made Eve "the mother of all living," and in Luke 20:38 Jesus taught that "all live unto Him"which can only mean that the Messiah would come to the earth to save all living humans from eternal death and the evil that it causes, not just those He would save by His grace. Genesis 3:14-21; Genesis 8:20-21 (KJB).

The fact that the Messiah will save the entire, living human race from spiritual death agrees completely with the rest of Jesus' parable. Jesus warned that the "tares" must not be gathered until the time of the harvest because that would also destroy the "wheat." God will wait until all living humans become ready to repent and return to faith in Christ before He can separate the "wheat" which is inside of every human from the "tares" which are also inside every human. Habakkuk 2:4 (KJB). But in the time of the harvest which happens in the end of the world, Christ will use His fiery wrath against evil to separate the evil natures of all humans "on the earth, and under the earth" from their living natures which will have repented and returned to faith in Him when He appears to them. He will then forever save their living natures for Him to recreate to live on His recreated earth, and He will cast their dead and evil natures into the eternal lake of fire. Romans 1:17; Luke 3:16-17; Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). Humans saved by grace will repent and believe when they hear the gospel. John 5:24; Romans 10:17 (KJB). That will be their harvest.

Jesus' explanation of the parable of the tares and wheat to His disciples clearly demonstrates His meaning of the parable. Jesus meant exactly that which He said. The "good seed" can only be all of the "children" of God which He sows in His "field" which is the world, not the Church. Genesis 1:31; Genesis 1:26-27 (KJB). But the "children" of the Devil can only be the "tares" which he sows into the hearts of all of the "children" of God. Genesis 3:15 (KJB). The "harvest" is the end of the world when Christ will use His fiery wrath against evil to separate all of His repentant, living humans from their dead and evil natures so that He can save their living natures, and He will cast their dead and evil natures into the lake of fire. Psalm 36:6; Psalm 75:3; I Corinthians 3:11-15; II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB). The "righteous" will be all of God's recreated, living humans whom He will save from eternal death.

Jesus further reinforced His teaching that He will save all of His living humans when He taught in Matthew 15:13: "Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up." This teaching of Jesus agrees completely with His parable of the tares and wheat. God will root up and utterly destroy all of the spiritual deaths and evil that the Devil has sown into the hearts of all of God's living humans, and He will save all of His repentant, living humans to live either in Heaven or on His recreated earth forever. John 17:24; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). God can never lose anything He has ever created, and His Love can never fail. Ecclesiastes 3:14; I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB).
