Numbers 3:4 KJB
God expected Aaron and his sons to follow His instructions exactly. Whenever they were to burn incense in their worship of God, they were to offer a precise type of incense in a precise way. Aaron's two oldest sons apparently deliberately and willfully burned incense that God could not accept. God used His fiery wrath against evil to kill them for their disobedience. Leviticus 10:1-2 (KJB). Cults, that resemble Christianity in some ways, but that also deny some of the plain truths of God's Word, especially the Deity of Christ, happen to be like those sons of Aaron that offered strange fire to the Lord. But in this Age of Grace, God does not use His fiery wrath to destroy cults because He desires that His true gospel be preached to all people.
God created Nadab and Abihu, like all living humans, in His own image which means all humans possess a good and creative nature. Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 1:31 (KJB). God can never lose anything He has ever created, and His Love can never fail, which means that God knows exactly how to create a plan that will save from eternal death every living human that He creates and loves. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Psalm 111:7-8; I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB).
The Devil implants an eternal, spiritual death into the inner beings of most humans because they all possess a weakness in their free will that inevitably causes them to sin. Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:15 (KJB). Those humans who do not become so implanted are children who die before they realize that they have a free will or that they can misuse their free will to commit sins. Sin causes spiritual death, and spiritual death, in turn, causes sin and evil. Romans 5:12 (KJB). God hates sin and evil because the Devil intends to use those destructive forces to utterly destroy that part of God's creation that are living humans. God has more compassion for the sinner because his sins inevitably result from a weakness in free will, but God hates evil because it results from deliberate and willful disobedience. All humans, except innocent children, suffer from spiritual death, but God does not hold humans accountable for their sins who have never heard of God's Law. Romans 5:13-14 (KJB). But all humans who practice evil fully knows in their inner beings that they are evil. Romans 1:18-20 (KJB). For these reasons, God's Son took all of the sins, evil, and spiritual deaths of all of His living humans on Himself on a cruel cross, and dismissed His Spirit into Hell, in order to abolish spiritual death itself to liberate all of His living humans from that death and the sins and evil that causes it so that He can reconcile His entire creation to Himself. I John 2:2; II Timothy 1:10; I Timothy 4:10; I John 3:8; I Corinthians 15:20-28; Colossians 1:15-20; II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB).
In the Old Testament, the Father was a God of justice. He sometimes used His fiery wrath against evil to kill humans who practiced evil. He sent their souls and spirits to one of the regions of death, but He never permanently destroyed any of their living souls and spirits that He created and loved. In the New Testament, God extends His Love and mercy to all humans because He desires that they all hear the gospel that His Son can forever save them by cleansing them of all sins and evil with the blood and water He shed on His cross the moment they repent and believe. John 5:24 (KJB). But God has not abandoned His living humans confined to the regions of death. God will save them by the descent of His Spirit into Hell. Psalm 16:9-11; Acts 2:25-31 (KJB). In the end of the world, Christ will visit all of His living humans "on the earth, and under the earth," and when they all see His great majesty and Love for them, they will all repent and return to faith in Him as their Savior that God put into them when He created them to be good. Revelation 5:11-14; Genesis 1:31 (KJB). Christ will use His fiery wrath against evil to separate their repentant, living souls and spirits from their dead and evil natures so that He can recreate their living souls and spirits 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 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 22:11-12 (KJB).
