Everything is Real

 If a person hears a story that he finds hard to believe, and he desires more evidence for the truth of that story, then that happens to be the correct use of the philosophy of skepticism. But the philosophy of skepticism which posits that no human can know for certain that anything is real or not real in his experience can only be atheistic because if God is real then He would have created a real universe and real human intelligence and not a creation that might be an illusion. 

But humans can know for certain that all of their experiences are real. When a person examines every sense experience and every inner experience that one can have, one finds that every element of those experiences happens to be useful in some creative way. Every impression on consciousness cannot be anything except an experience. Illusions are never useful except for fantasy writers. Fantasy writers can make even illusions useful for entertainment purposes. 

Intelligence is a process of being creative. Every intelligent human can assemble the elements of their experiences into combinations of ideas that prove to be useful and beneficial or prove to be useless or even destructive. In other words, humans can have good ideas and bad ideas. But the elements of both systems, good and bad, are always useful in other combinations of ideas and that which is useful cannot be an illusion because illusions are usually useless except for fantasy writers. Humans can invent systems that produce beneficial results, or humans can invent systems that fail to produce beneficial results, but in both cases, only useful elements can be used. In this regard, the creative process is similar to mathematics. 2+3=6 happens to be a useless combination, but every element of that false combination happens to be true and real in beneficial combinations. 

But in order for the creative process to work properly, intelligence must know the difference between something and nothing. The idea of nothing never means that a particular something does not exist. When one says that something, such as a winged horse, is not real, the useful idea of nothing can never annul the elements of that experience. Illusions always comprise real elements. When a person says that something does not exist, one always means that a false combination of real elements does not exist in combination with each other. For example, if a person makes a mistake in arithmetic and adds 2+3=6, that person can then recognize that that combination of real and useful elements means nothing, but that person cannot conclude that that false combination is not real because it equals the real and useful idea of nothing. For another example, if a person sees a UFO, that person can conclude that it was real, or he can conclude that because of misapprehension or hallucination, that which he saw was not real. But he cannot conclude that the real elements of his experience that he saw such as "shinny," "metallic," "disk," or "flying" were not real, but only that their false combination was not real. The idea of nothing is real because it serves a useful purpose. 

Opinions and theories may not be known to be true or false because not enough evidence has been accrued to demonstrate their truth or falsity, but nevertheless, every opinion and theory always comprises true and real elements of experience. 

All of this means that everything that one can experience must be real. All of the elements of something can only be real because they are all useful in beneficial combinations. The idea of nothing must also be real because it is useful for the identification of systems that are useless and mean nothing. Every element of experience has meaning which makes it real. In order for creative intelligence to work properly, it must be able to tell the difference between that which is useful and that which is useless so that it can be usefully discarded or ignored. Thus, intelligence consciousness can recognize that its elements of experience are all useful, and therefore, real. The element of consciousness that is the idea of nothing is also real because it can usefully identify systems that are useless and mean nothing. Everything is real. 

If anyone should doubt the conclusions of this philosophy, then that person should examine every elementary sense object, every idea, every feeling, and every word that they have ever experienced, and they will find that they are all useful for the creation of both useful and useless systems. Even nonsense words are useful because one can use the idea of nothing to recognize that they mean nothing. One can even recognize that one's idea of nothing can only be real because it is useful for the identification of all that is useless. 

God created a real universe and real human intelligence. Genesis 1:1; Genesis 1:26-27 (KJB).                    

The Fiery Wrath of God

                             Deuteronomy 13:16 KJB

This chapter and this particular verse indicate that that which is of the utmost importance in human lives is that they worship the One true and living God and refrain from the worship of any kind of false gods. The practice of sin and evil happens to be inevitable even among God's people, but God deals with those who believe in Him and worship Him as His children whom He will discipline for their correction. Romans 3:23; I John 1:8; Hebrews 12:5-11 (KJB). But the Devil has his own kingdom in the world, and those humans who live in his kingdom practice greed, excessive power over others, excessive pleasures, and they believe that humans need only material necessities, and they replace God's morality with their own, invented morality. These humans are those who worship false gods. Matthew 4:1-11 (KJB). 

God creates every living human in His image; that is, He creates them to be good and creative. Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 1:31 (KJB). God loves His entire creation, and God can never lose anything that He loves. Ecclesiastes 3:14; I Corinthians 13:8; Revelation 21:5 (KJB). For this reason, God has determined to liberate every living human that He has ever created from the power of the Devil's kingdom by His sacrifice of Himself on a cross, and by His use of His fiery wrath against evil. John 3:16; Mark 9:49-50 (KJB). The Devil has gained some power over humans because he can inject spiritual death into every human the moment they sin, and every human except for infants who die before they can sin, will inevitably sin because they, like Adam, have a weakness in their free will. Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:15 (KJB). Genesis 2:17 was a warning from God for what would happen when Adam sinned. The Devil knows all this, and so he accuses God of making a mistake when He gave humans free will which makes the Devil gloat that God will cause the utter downfall of His own, living humans because the Devil believes that spiritual death will eventually become eternal death which will cause God to lose forever His good and living humans whom He creates and loves. Job 1:6-12; Job 2:1-10 (KJB). The Devil bragged to God that he had power in the earth that he believed God could do nothing about, and he boasted that he could make Job, and by extension any human, to eventually become totally evil and spiritually dead and lost from God's Love forever because he was able to cause humans to despair of faith by making them suffer as much as possible. 

But what the Devil did not know was that God could devise a plan that would cause every human to return to faith in Him as their Savior of their own free will. God would save some of His living humans by His grace when He would take their sins, evil, and spiritual deaths on Himself on a cross, wash it all away with His blood and water that He would shed, and He would rise from the dead to give them His own eternal life. I John 1:7; Matthew 26:28; John 5:24; John 3:16; II Corinthians 5:21; I Corinthians 6:11; I Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJB). Christ would send His Holy Spirit to preach the gospel that would cause some humans to return to faith in Him as their Savior while still alive in the flesh. I Corinthians 6:11; John 5:24 (KJB). But Christ also sent His Holy Spirit into a burning Hell to leave behind there all of the sins, evil, and spiritual deaths of the rest of humanity that He bore on the cross so that His Spirit would rise immaculate from the regions of death to reanimate Jesus' perfect body so that He would rise from the dead with complete and absolute victory over all of the evil works of the Devil. Genesis 3:15 relates that Jesus intends to absolutely crush the Devil and all evil completely out of His world. I John 2:2; I Peter 3:18; Psalm 16:9-11; Acts 2:25-31; Revelation 1:17-18 (KJB). Christ will visit all of His living humans on the earth and confined to the regions of death in the end of the world, and He will cause them all to return of their own free will to faith in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior so that He can use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve their beings to separate their repentant, good and living natures for Him to recover and recreate from their dead and evil natures which He will cast into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; Matthew 13:36-43; I Corinthians 3:11-15; II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5; Luke 3:6; Luke 3:16-17; John 5:28-29; I Timothy 4:10 (KJB). 

God had His good armies to utterly destroy any evil city that worshipped false gods, even though they had to destroy, at the same time, all of God's living humans and the cattle. But God will, in the end, preserve all of His living humans and the cattle. Deuteronomy 13:12-16; Psalm 36:6 (KJB). All that God ever created will go out from Him and will return to Him. Romans 11:36 (KJB). God will utterly purge and destroy all sins, evil, spiritual death, and the Devil from His entire creation and cleanse it all and recreate it all to be righteous. II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 21:1-5; I John 3:8 (KJB). Part of the gospel is that Christ "hath abolished death" itself, and not any of His living humans. Since all humans are alive in God's sight, then God must forever save from eternal death, and all of the sins and evil that causes it, all of His living humans that He ever created by returning them all to faith in Him of their own free will which will prove that He did not make a mistake in giving humans free will. A chosen love makes God's Love real. Luke 20:38; I Corinthians 15:20-26; I Timothy 4:10; Revelation 21:5 (KJB). 

The Fiery Wrath of God

                           Deuteronomy 12:3,31 KJB

In this chapter, Moses preached about that which is of the utmost importance in people's lives. All people either worship God and trust Him and obey Him, or they worship false gods which are just totally evil devils. At that time, the Israelites were God's family. When they sinned, God punished them for their correction, and when they repented by bringing a clean animal to the priests for a sin offering or a burnt offering, God forgave them. Leviticus 5:5-10 (KJB). God knew that every one of them had a good and living nature that He had created them to be, but they also had a dead and evil nature that had been instilled into them by the Devil. Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 1:31; Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:15 (KJB). God knew that if the entire human race were to allow their dead and evil natures to dominate their good and living natures, then over time, their good and living natures would become totally evil, and God would lose a part of His creation to the Devil. Such an event would diminish the Almighty Power of God and put His entire creation into danger of being lost to the Devil. Isaiah 14:12-17 (KJB). 

Just as God had chosen Noah and his family to preserve faith in Him when He had to destroy the human race because it had become dominated by evil, so God chose the nation of Israel to preserve faith in Him in a world full of pagan people who worshipped devils. God knew that because of their evil natures, even His own people would inevitably sin and even do evil acts, but God provided animal sacrifices that they could make to demonstrate their faith in God's Love and mercy, and God would forgive them and that reconciliation would preserve God's family. To offer an animal sacrifice demonstrated that they had faith in God's power over evil. 

Yet God sometimes used His fiery wrath against evil to kill some of His own people when it became evident to Him that they had abandoned their faith in Him and had become totally disobedient and had allowed evil to completely dominate their good and living natures. At times, God had to purify His people to prevent them all from becoming totally evil which would destroy faith in Him in the world, and that event would put the whole world in danger of being lost from God's Love forever. But whenever God saw that His purification had been completed, He provided a way for His people to return to faith in Him as their merciful God who would preserve their lives. Numbers 21:5-9 (KJB). The Devil and evil have tremendous power in the world to thoroughly corrupt the human race, but God has Almighty Power which will save His entire creation from utter destruction. Luke 4:5-8; Ecclesiastes 3:14 (KJB). 

God expects His people to fight against evil. God will sometimes allow His people to borrow His fiery wrath in their fight against evil. God sometimes commands His faithful armies to burn evil cities and their evil gods. Even today, God will command His good armies to burn those cities where evil dominates. Deuteronomy 12:1-3; Deuteronomy 12:31 (KJB). But just as God's war happens to be only against evil and the Devil and never against the good and living natures of all people whom He loves, so God expects His people to war against only the Devil and all evil even when they have to kill their good and living natures at the same time that they kill their evil natures. Ephesians 6:12 (KJB). 

But mostly for two thousand years, God has used His Church to preach the gospel that Christ sacrificed Himself to take away their sins, evil, and spiritual deaths so that the Holy Spirit could recreate their souls and spirits so that the power of God would cause their good and living natures to dominate their lives. II Corinthians 5:14-21; I Corinthians 15:1-4; I Corinthians 6:11 (KJB). God has promised His Church, and all other humans saved by His grace, an eternal life with Him in Heaven. I Peter 1:3-5 (KJB). But God has also promised all of His faithful Jews that He will give them eternal life in their promised land on His recreated earth in the end of the world. Deuteronomy 12:28-29 (KJB). God has extended this same promise of eternal life on His new earth to the good and living natures of all humans confined to the regions of death and on the earth because Christ will visit them in the end of the world, and He will cause them all to repent and return to faith in Him so that He can use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve all of their beings to separate their repentant, good and living natures from their dead and evil natures so that He can recreate their good and living natures with new bodies to live forever on His recreated earth, and He will cast their dead and evil natures into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; II Peter 3:9-13; John 5:28-29; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). God will prove that His Love can never fail because He will save His entire creation, and He will utterly destroy all of the evil works of the Devil. I Corinthians 13:8; I John 3:8; Romans 8:18-25; Revelation 21:5 (KJB). The Devil has marred God's creation, but God knows exactly how to recreate it. Christ clearly taught that He judged only the Devil while He was on the cross, and He also taught that He judged no man while He was on the earth which can only mean that He gained complete victory over the Devil and all evil when He suffered and died and rose from the dead to gain the higher and lesser forms of salvation for the entire human race. John 12:31-32; John 12:47-48; John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 21:5; II Timothy 1:10; II Timothy 4:1; I Timothy 4:10 (KJB).  

The Fiery Wrath of God

                           Deuteronomy 10:1-5 KJB

God spoke the Ten Commandments to His people out of His fiery wrath against evil because He has the right to kill anyone with His fiery wrath who breaks His Law and refuses to repent. Deuteronomy 19:16-25; Deuteronomy 20:1 (KJB). While Moses was at the top of the mountain receiving the Ten Commandments written on tables of stone by the finger of God, some of the Israelites pressured Aaron to make a golden calf which they began to worship although they already knew the first two Commandments. When Moses came down from the mountain and saw their wickedness, God had him to throw down the tables of stone and literally break the Ten Commandments. But God also had Moses to use His fiery wrath against evil to melt the golden calf, grind it to powder, spread it on the water, and he made the people to drink that water to demonstrate to them that their evil had poisoned their souls and spirits. Moses then called the Levites to him who had remained loyal to the Lord, and he ordered them to go through the camp and kill with their swords the three thousand men who demonstrated that they refused to repent because they remained naked. Exodus 32:15-28 (KJB). But Moses did not have his brother Aaron killed because Moses knew that Aaron would repent and be used of God in the future. 

But the third time that God gave the Israelites His Ten Commandments, He had Moses to carve out two tables of stone and bring them to the top of the mountain where God again wrote His Ten Commandments. Moses had to repair what he had broken. God had Moses to bring the tables of stone down from the mountain and put them into the Ark of the Covenant with the Mercy Seat on top so that the Israelites would carry the Ten Commandments wherever they journeyed. This time, Moses saw no rebellion among the Israelites, and the Ten Commandments being inside the Ark of the Covenant with the Mercy Seat carried by the priests wherever the Israelites went symbolized to the people that God would forgive them whenever they broke the Ten Commandments if they would appeal to His mercy by bringing a clean animal to the priests who would sacrifice it as a sin offering or a burnt offering to show their faith in God. Deuteronomy 10:1-5; Leviticus 5:5-10 (KJB). 

But all of this put together demonstrated that God's people at that time could have had only a very limited understanding of God's Love and mercy. To them, faith meant much the same as obedience. Simply rely on the priests to make the sin offering or the burnt offering, and God would forgive. No doubt, Moses had already taught them that God creates humans in His image to be good and righteous, but the evil nature of every human would cause them to commit sinful and even evil acts. Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 1:31; Genesis 4:1-8 (KJB). The ancient Israelites could therefore have had no understanding that the sin offering and the burnt offering symbolized that their Messiah would be a suffering Messiah who would suffer in their place their sins, evil, and the eternal death that sin and evil causes so that He could save them from eternal death forever. To this day, most Jews reject the fact that their Messiah could be a suffering Messiah. 

Two of God's prophets, king David and Isaiah, wrote perfect descriptions of how the Messiah would suffer for the sins and evil of not only the Jews, but for all of humanity. Psalm 22:1-21; Isaiah 53:1-12 (KJB). But although these prophets faithfully wrote that which the Holy Spirit told them to write, they never displayed that they had any deep understanding of what they wrote. Some Old Testament writers had some ideas about salvation by grace, but only God could have known that the ancient Israelites could have had no idea that a suffering Messiah would be able to give repentant humans His own perfect righteousness that would save them by His grace. II Corinthians 5:21 (KJB). For these reasons, whenever God had the Old Testament writers to write about human righteousness, He had to have meant the righteousness that He creates humans to be. Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 1:31 (KJB). Since God can never lose anything He has ever created, then God will save and preserve His created human righteousness forever because He will cause all humans not already saved by grace to repent and believe in Him as the Lamb of God their suffering Messiah. Psalm 111:7-8; Psalm 112:1-10; Psalm 36:6; Psalm 50:23; Luke 3:6; I Timothy 4:10 (KJB). Christ will visit all of His living humans "on the earth, and under the earth" in the end of the world, and He will cause them all to repent and return to faith in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior so that He can recreate them with new bodies to live forever on His recreated earth. This will be a lesser form of salvation than that of grace. Christ will cast their separated dead and evil natures into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; Philippians 2:9-11; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5; John 5:28-29; II Peter 3:9-13; I Corinthians 15:20-26; II Timothy 1:10; Revelation 1:17-18; Revelation 22:11-12 (KJB). 

The Fiery Wrath of God

                                 Deuteronomy 9:1-29 KJB

In order to save the human race from evil and eternal death, which would be the utter destruction of the human race, God must return the human race to faith in Him as their only God and Savior. Habakkuk 2:4 (KJB). Moses preached to the Israelites that God did not choose them as His people because of their righteousness because they had often been rebellious against God, but God chose them because He could count on Joshua to lead that second generation of Israelites to utterly destroy those pagan nations that occupied the promised land. In that way, God could inspire at least some of the Israelites to preserve faith in Him in a pagan world. At heart, most of these Israelites were just as stubborn and rebellious toward God as any other people, but through the great leadership of Moses and Joshua, God kept alive a faith in Him in at least some of them. Even so, God has promised in His Word that He will save all the rebellious people of the world by returning them all to faith in Him as their Savior. Psalm 68:18-19; Psalm 107:1-21; Isaiah 45:20-25; Isaiah 66:22-24; Luke 3:6; John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). 

The pagans sacrificed their children to false gods because they thought that that would give them prosperity. The modern abortionists preach that abortion is a new form of morality that will liberate women from the burden of pregnancy so that they will be free to pursue prosperity.  But God's Law happens to be "Thou shall not kill," which means abortion is just the old immorality called murder. Deuteronomy 5:17 (KJB).

God creates every human in His image which means He creates every human to be good and to have faith in Him. Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 1:31 (KJB). God can never lose anything He has ever created which can only mean that God has created a way to save every living human from eternal death and the power of the Devil. Ecclesiastes 3:14; John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). When humans sin, the Devil gains the right to inject spiritual death into their inner beings which will become eternal death unless God intervenes into human history to save all humans from that fate. Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:15; Matthew 13:36-43 (KJB). Most of the human race had allowed their evil natures to dominate their good natures when God sent Moses to liberate His people from slavery to the evil Egyptians. This event symbolized the fact that God will eventually liberate all of His living humans from slavery and destruction by the Devil because God would become human and sacrifice Himself on a cross to take all of their sins, evil, and eternal deaths on Himself, and He would send His Spirit into a burning Hell to leave behind there all of the sins, evil, and eternal deaths of all humans whom He does not save by His grace. This means Christ will save some of His living humans by His grace when the Holy Spirit returns them to faith in Him that He can wash away all of their sins, evil, and spiritual deaths with His blood and water that He shed on the cross. I John 1:7; Matthew 26:28; John 5:24; I John 1:9 (KJB). But Christ will visit the rest of humanity confined to the regions of death and on the earth in the end of the world so that He can use His fiery wrath against evil, after He returns them all to faith in Him, to dissolve their beings to separate their good and living natures, for Him to save and recreate, from their dead and evil natures that He will cast into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5; II Peter 3:9-13; Matthew 13:36-43; I Corinthians 3:11-15 (KJB). 

The Fiery Wrath of God

                               Deuteronomy 5:5,25 KJB

Just before Moses turned the leadership of the Israelites over to Joshua, he preached his final message to the second generation of Israelites, and he informed them that God had made a covenant with them that He had not made with their fathers. Deuteronomy 5:1-3 (KJB). God made a covenant with those Israelites who were alive, and who heard Moses. Their fathers had failed to have faith that God would give them the promised land, and so they died in the wilderness. Numbers 14:4 (KJB). Nevertheless, God had liberated those faithless Israelites from slavery to the evil Egyptians. All of this symbolizes the fact that God will give a new life and an entrance into the kingdom of God to all living humans who accept His grace by their faith. John 3:3; John 5:24 (KJB). But in addition, God will also liberate all of His living humans who fail to have faith in His grace from slavery to the Devil and total evil. 

Moses reminded them that God had spoken to them from His fiery wrath against evil to make them afraid of His judgment of evil so that they would obey God which would always cause them to allow their good and living natures that God had created them to be to dominate their dead and evil natures. Deuteronomy 5:4-5; Deuteronomy 5:24-26 (KJB). That was God's method of sanctification at that time. The Holy Spirit sanctifies living humans saved by grace. Galatians 5:22-26 (KJB). Moses reminded them of God's Ten Commandments that He expected them to obey, but when they inevitably sinned because of their evil natures inside of them, God also gave them His judgments that they should bring a sin offering or a burnt offering to the priests who would sacrifice them to show the sinner that God had forgiven them because of their faith. Leviticus 5:5-10 (KJB). 

God sometimes killed even some Israelites with His fiery wrath because they rebelled against Him. Numbers 16:35 (KJB). God creates every living human in His image which means He creates them to be good and to have faith in Him. Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 1:31 (KJB). But the Devil injects spiritual death and evil into every human who chooses to sin except for small children who die before they sin or who cannot be aware that they have sinned. Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:15 (KJB). The "seed" that the Devil plants is spiritual death and evil, but the "seed" that God gave to the woman is the Savior who will save all of humanity from spiritual death becoming eternal death. Matthew 15:13; Hebrews 2:9-18; Matthew 13:36-43; II Timothy 1:10 (KJB). The power of evil inside every human will inevitably cause them to sin except for small children who die. Adam chose to use His free will to commit sin, but that fact caused the Devil to be able to give him the spiritual death that he can also give to all humans when they sin. Adam's weakness became the weakness of the whole human race. Romans 5:12 (KJB). But whenever God kills any human for their evil acts with His fiery wrath, or in other ways, He only temporarily kills their good and living natures that He loves, and He permanently kills their dead and evil natures that the Devil has instilled into them. Luke 20:38; Ecclesiastes 3:14; Hebrews 2:9-18; Matthew 13:36-43; Luke 3:16-17; I Timothy 4:10; II Timothy 1:10 (KJB). 

Since it is inevitable that humans will sin, are they responsible for their sins and evil? The answer is yes and no. Adam actually committed a sin and an evil act. I Timothy 2:14 (KJB). Every willful and deliberate sin is also an evil act. Numbers 15:22-36 (KJB). Sin happens because of human weakness, but humans must deliberately decide to commit cruel and evil acts. For this reason, God happens to be more patient with sin than with evil acts. God will sometimes use His fiery wrath, and other means, to destroy evil. 

Since God knows that humans cannot be responsible for their sins, but they can be responsible for their evil acts, God assigned only temporary punishments to Adam and Eve, and by extension, to the whole human race. Genesis 3:14-19 (KJB). Like Adam, every human sin also has some evil attached to it, but since there can be no evil without sin, then humans are both responsible and not responsible for their sins and evil. God could assign temporary punishments to the human race because He knew that He would send a Savior to annul their spiritual deaths and save them from eternal death. Hebrews 2:9-18; I Corinthians 15:20-23; II Timothy 1:10; I Timothy 4:10; I John 3:8 (KJB). 

God also made Eve the mother of all living, and all humans live in His sight. Genesis 3:20; Luke 20:38 (KJB). God can never lose anything He has ever created, and so all living humans can only be forever alive in His sight. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Psalm 36:6 (KJB). God must temporarily punish all humans not saved by His grace when He consigns their souls and spirits to one of the three regions of death when they die because their good and living natures have become soiled and corrupted by exposure to their evil natures. Isaiah 64:6; Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 20:13 (KJB). Spiritual death can cause permanent death. Romans 6:23 (KJB). For this reason, God has found a way to cleanse His living humans from all sins, evil, and spiritual death by causing them to return to faith in Him as their Savior who shed His blood and water on a cross to cleanse their living souls and spirits so that He can save them by giving them the righteousness of His resurrected Son. I John 1:7; Genesis 3:20-21; I Corinthians 6:11; II Corinthians 5:21 (KJB). God will also save the rest of humanity with a lesser form of salvation when Christ visits them all in the end of the world, and He will cause them all to return to faith in Him as their Savior so that He can use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve their beings to separate their cleansed souls and spirits from their dead and evil natures so that He can recreate their good and living natures with new bodies to live forever on His recreated earth, and He will cast their dead and evil natures into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; Genesis 8:20-21; II Peter 3:9-13; Psalm 75:3; Psalm 36:6; I Corinthians 3:11-15; John 5:28-29; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5; I Timothy 4:10; Luke 3:6 (KJB). 

 

The Fiery Wrath of God

                              Deuteronomy 5:1-33 KJB 

When God gave Moses His words to speak to the children of Israel just before God sent them into the promised land to conquer it, Moses told them that God had chosen them to be a special people to God who would renew faith in Him among the peoples of the world whose faith in God had been almost annulled. Deuteronomy 7:6-8 (KJB). Romans 1:18-32 accurately describes the declension of the original human race from faith in God to evil and the worship of idols. But God intervened into human history to stop this declension by the use of His chosen people to write His Word, to maintain faith in Him, and to bring a Messiah into the world who would save the entire human race from evil and eternal death. Genesis 3:15; Genesis 3:20-21; Luke 20:38; I Corinthians 15:20-23; II Timothy 1:10 (KJB). God creates humans in His image to be good, but the Devil injects spiritual death and evil into the inner beings of all humans because all humans will sin. The Devil hopes that continued idol worship will cause that spiritual death to become eternal death which will utterly destroy a part of God's creation that He loves. Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 1:31; Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:15 (KJB). Idol worship can be anything that a person loves more than God such as love of money, love of having power over others, love of selfishness, or love of excessive and destructive pleasures. Only faith in the Almighty Love of God to defeat all evil and the Devil can save humanity from eternal death. Habakkuk 2:4 (KJB). 

Moses renewed the Ten Commandments to this second generation of Israelites because the first generation had died in the wilderness because of their lack of faith in God's power to save. Deuteronomy 5:1-21 (KJB). God expected His people to obey His Ten Commandments, but at the same time, God knew that the evil within their hearts would inevitably cause them to sin. But God had a faith in Him to give them for their obedience or for their disobedience. God would bless them for their obedience, but God would also provide a faith in His Love and mercy when He commanded them to bring a sin offering or a burnt offering to the priests for the forgiveness of their sins. Leviticus 5:4-10 (KJB). The sin offering and the burnt offering symbolized tacit faith in the salvations which would be provided by the coming Messiah. Genesis 3:15; Genesis 3:20-21; Genesis 8:20-21 (KJB). 

God spoke to His people out of Mount Horeb with His fiery wrath against evil to make them afraid of Him so that they would always worship Him and refrain from idol worship. Deuteronomy 5:3-4 (KJB). Some of the Jews have kept this faith until this day. That second generation of Israelites noticed that God spoke to them in His fiery wrath, but He killed none of them. In fact, they heard the voice of the Lord out of His fiery wrath, and they lived. This second generation understood that as long as they had faith in God, avoided idol worship, and brought the sin offering and the burnt offering to God for the forgiveness of their sins, then they would live forever in the land which He had promised to give them. Deuteronomy 5:22-33 (KJB).

Whenever the human race falls into danger of their spiritual deaths becoming eternal death, then God intervenes in human history to save humanity from that terrible fate. Romans 5:20 (KJB). God will not allow His Love for the human race to fail. I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB). When the world became engulfed with spiritual darkness, then God sent His Son to sacrifice Himself on a cross and rise from the dead to gain an absolute victory over all sin, evil, spiritual death, and the Devil. Hebrews 2:9-18; I John 3:8; Revelation 1:17-18 (KJB). The sin offering symbolized that Christ would shed His blood and water on the cross to save by His grace all humans who would repent of their sins and come to faith in Him while still alive in the flesh. I John 1:7; John 5:24; Genesis 3:20-21 (KJB). But the burnt offering symbolized that Christ would dismiss His Spirit to descend into a burning Hell to leave all of the sins and evil of the rest of humanity that Jesus bore on the cross behind there so that He could rise immaculate from the regions of death to reanimate the perfect body of Jesus who would rise from the dead having attained a complete and absolute victory over all evil and the Devil. Genesis 8:20-21; I Peter 3:18; Psalm 16:9-11; Acts 2:25-31; Revelation 1:17-18 (KJB). Christ will again intervene into human history to save all humans "on the earth, and under the earth" in the end of the world when He will appear to all of His living humans confined to the regions of death and on the earth to cause them all to repent and return to faith in Him so that He can 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 resurrect and recreate their living natures to live forever on His new earth, and He will cast their separated, dead and evil natures into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; Philippians 2:9-11; II Peter 3:9-13; Matthew 13:36-43; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). 

No verse in the entire Bible teaches that the physical deaths of humans will prevent God from ever saving them from eternal death. Luke 20:38 teaches that all humans are alive to God, and II Timothy 1:10 teaches that Christ has abolished death itself. Christ saves all of His living humans from eternal death. Repentance and faith will always evoke the compassion of Christ whether any human is physically alive or dead. Romans 10:13; Hebrews 13:8 (KJB). 

I Timothy 4:10 clearly teaches that Christ is; that is, He exists as the Savior of all humans. It does not relate that He desires to save all humans. The phrase "especially of those who believe" refers to those whom He saves by His grace. Since humans saved by grace have a special form of salvation, then the first part of that verse can only mean that the rest of humanity must have another form of salvation. All Christian churches believe in predestination. They believe that God knows all humans who will be saved by His grace, and all who will not be so saved, which can only be the same as predestination. Acts 15:18 (KJB). But why would Christ bear the sins and evil of the whole human race on the cross knowing that He could not save most of them? Does God do anything in vain? I John 2:2 teaches that Christ appeased God's wrath for all humans, not just those saved by His grace. Colossians 1:20 teaches that God will "reconcile all things unto Himself." All living humans happen to be a part of the "all things" that God has created. Revelation 4:11 (KJB). Since God creates "all things" for His pleasure, then how can He take any pleasure in the eternal deaths of living humans whom He loves? Revelation 21:5 promises that "Behold, I make all things new." Living humans have to be a part of the "all things" that God has and will create. Revelation 4:11 (KJB). One would think that the greatest honor that can be given to the Almighty Love and Mercy of God is that He will utterly crush the Devil and all evil, and He will thoroughly purge it all from His creation so that He can recreate it all to be righteous. Genesis 3:15; II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB).
