Speculation on Creation
God possesses free will because He can choose to create any good system that He wills. In all innocence, God gave free will as a loving gift to His angel Lucifer because God believed he would only use it to create good systems. But somehow, evil consciousnesses emerged from the deep, and under the cover of darkness entered into heaven to tempt Lucifer to rebel against God by appealing to his pride. Lucifer chose to become excessively proud which caused him to rebel against God. Lucifer refused to repent and became totally evil after God had stripped him of all the good ideas He had put into his system. God used His consuming fire to dissolve Lucifer's system. God then exiled him to earth as a totally evil and empty negative consciousness called Satan. Ezekiel 28:13-19. Even now, Satan's negative and destructive consciousness still retains the power to misuse God's good ideas to invent false and destructive systems called sin.
False systems always misuse good ideas. False systems cannot exist without good ideas. For example, 3+2=6 is a false system but not necessarily a sinful one. Nevertheless, every individual idea in that false system remains a good one on its own. Every sin is a destructive, false system that always comprises good ideas. One person may murder another, but every individual idea in that false system could be put to good use in a creative system. The desire to kill could be put to good use to execute and eliminate murderers from society. The metal in the gun and bullet could be used to create good systems called tools. The gunpowder could be used to blast out canals or to mine coal. The will of the killer to kill could be used to imagine and create good systems, and so forth.
Satan observed when God created the good systems called humans in the garden and gave them free will. Satan planned to tempt their free will to cause them to choose to disobey God which would weaken them to the point that Satan could then inject evil into the beings of the whole human race. Romans 5:12. This means every human has a good soul and spirit created by God and an evil and spiritually dead nature injected into its being by Satan which causes every human to sin. Satan's goal is to cause the good soul and spirit of at least one human to become so evil that it will refuse to repent. Its refusal to repent will transform its goodness to spiritual death and pure evil and lost from God's Love forever. Such a loss would weaken God's Almighty Love and give the Devil the opportunity to find a way to murder God and take control of His universe. John 8:44; Isaiah 14:12-17.
God's Word has promised that His Love can never fail, and He can never lose anything that He has ever created and loves. I Corinthians 13:8; Ecclesiastes 3:14. On their own, humans would lose their battle with Satan, become eternally spiritually dead, and lost from God forever. Satan did not count on God's Love being so Almighty that He would give the Devil the chance to murder Him by taking the sin and evil of the entire human race on Himself on a cruel cross so that He could forever purge the cause of spiritual death with His shed blood and water and His descent into Hell. After having cleansed all sin and evil, He would rise from the dead victorious over eternal, spiritual death. I John 5:6-8; Revelation 1:17-18; Hebrews 2:9; I Corinthians 15:22; I Corinthians 15:26; II Timothy 4:1; II Timothy 1:10.
God provides a higher and a lesser form of salvation for all humans. Humans saved by grace receive eternal life the moment they repent and believe. John 5:24. God will annul their spiritual deaths the moment they believe, cleanse them of all sins and evil with His shed blood, and give them the perfect righteousness of Christ Himself by which He can accept them into heaven to live with Him there forever. Romans 5:17; Revelation 1:5. God will save the rest of humanity confined to the regions of the dead when He appears to them in a great worship service as recorded in Revelation 5:11-14. When they see Him, they will all return, of their own free will, to repentance and faith in the Lamb of God. John 11:25. In the end of the world, God will save them by dissolving their systems with the use of His consuming fire which is the lake of fire. Deuteronomy 32:22. God will separate their living souls and spirits for Him to recreate to live on His recreated earth from their spiritual deaths which He will cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5; I Corinthians 3:11-15; Revelation 22:11-12.

Speculation on Creation
Genesis 1:1 relates that God created the heaven and the earth. God created heaven for the abode of Himself and His saints, and the earth for the abode of humans. In His creations of heaven and earth, God began an historical process by which He could test His Love. Since God has created all things, then He must have created the heavens, which is His universe, long before He created the heaven and the earth. Revelation 4:11. God must have also created the sun and moon and the entire solar system when He created the heaven and the earth.
When God first observed the earth before He created it, He saw that "the earth was without form, and void," and "darkness" covered this "deep." Genesis 1:2. In Isaiah 45:7, God admits that He created darkness and even evil. Darkness already existed before God created the earth. But God could not have deliberately created evil. God created evil only in the sense that He unknowingly allowed it to emerge into His creations of the heaven and the earth. God felt guilty about evil becoming destructive of His good creations even though He is completely innocent of its destructive emergence into His creations. Since God is absolutely Holy and Perfect, then He must also be Innocent. God's innocent guilt about evil only proves that He is Holy and Perfect. His guilt shows His Love.
When God observed the darkness that covered the deep, in all innocence, He regarded the darkness as merely His creation of something that covered His idea of nothing; that is, space. God is Omniscient, but He knows only an Infinite Goodness. God had no idea that this darkness actually covered a nonexistent void from which evil would emerge as negative consciousnesses called devils. God must have unknowingly and accidentally caused this nonexistent void when He began to create the universe. God now realizes that below the positive idea of nothing a less than nothing nonexists. Isaiah 40:17. How such an entity as an evil, negative consciousness could both seem to exist and nonexist at the same time remains a complete mystery to the wholly positive Consciousness of God. II Thessalonians 2:7.

The World and the Word
Speculation on Creation
God can only create that which is good; that is, useful and beautiful. God creates each good system from Ideas that He selects from the Infinite Contents of His Infinite Consciousness. God can create or dissolve systems as He wills, but the Infinite Contents of His Mind constitutes Eternal Information which can also be called the Word of God. Despite the philosophy of the materialists, observation has always revealed that no good system can exist without consciousness employing information. The Word of God is both the same as God and also is with God. John 1:1.
The Infinite Set of Ideas in God's Mind are irreducible and basic. They are as basic as is the number one in mathematics. All numbers higher than one are merely systems that comprise the number one. To a similar extent, some of God's irreducible Ideas consist of shapes such as square or round. Others consist of basic colors such as blue, yellow, and red. Still others could be ideas such as solid or thin. Humans observe the world as composed of combinations, or systems, of these basic Ideas which God has put into macro form. God's Mind also holds basic abstract Ideas such as Justice and Liberty. Humans can use such basic ideas to invent good systems of law and government. All of God's Ideas are absolutely perfect and righteous. All of God's macro systems based on these eternal Ideas possess only a limited perfection because God can create or dissolve them as He wills.
While it is true that basic ideas can be reduced to mathematical frequencies on the quantum level, God creates on the macro level. God holds the power to transform mathematical frequencies into formed Ideas.
The system called mathematics, while based on the number one, would make no sense without another basic idea that limits it to specific numbers. That basic idea happens to be the idea called zero. Zero cannot be a number because it does not number anything, and yet this idea happens to be necessary for mathematics to make any sense. The number one can be no other number but one. The word no means nothing. The number two, and all higher numbers, can only be identified as particular numbers by the use of the idea of zero which is the same as the idea of nothing. This system does not mean that if one thinks of a particular number that all other numbers become nothing. This system simply means that in order to think of a particular number, one must consider all other numbers to be temporarily equal to nothing. In other words, the idea of nothing exists above and below every particular number.
If the basic idea of one can be considered to be equal to the idea of something, and the basic idea of zero to the idea of nothing, then all of reality must be based on the two basic ideas of something and nothing. When God creates a system which is something, He must use the idea of nothing to exclude all ideas which will not work in that system. When God creates the system called green, He must consider the basic color red to be equal to nothing and include only the basic colors blue and yellow. When God creates a landscape, He must include the ideas of solidity and shape and use the idea of nothing to exclude the ideas of thinness and formlessness. When God creates a gaseous system, He must use the idea of nothing to exclude the ideas of solidity and shape.
All of this put together means that God must use the basic absolutely perfect Ideas of something and nothing to create a reality of limited perfection. But all this also means that the idea of nothing has to be something as an Idea. All ideas, even abstract ones, have to be something because consciousness forms them as ideas in the mind. All ideas become more than nothing as information, and yet the idea of nothing limits information to particular ideas. This means Consciousness has to exist for reality to exist. Even though the idea of nothing equals emptiness, it nevertheless exists as the perfect Idea of formless extension in the Mind of God.

The World and the Word
The Results of the Fall
God preserved His light of faith in Noah and his family, and God symbolically preserved His light of faith for the entire human race in the good life of Job. Job 13:14-16. The story of the Tower of Babel relates how the whole human race descended into the depths of despair. But when the Devil had done his worst to humanity, and God's light of faith had not been put out, then God claimed His right to counterattack. God's method of counterattack was to renew His revelation of a coming Savior. After Job had come to the depths of despair, God began to reveal to him, and the whole human race, that God had given Job a Savior. Job 19:25-27. At humanity's lowest point at the Tower of Babel, God scattered humanity over the earth and chose a particular people, the Israelites, to reveal through His written Word that humanity has a Savior.
After God had rescattered the people over the earth, He decided to choose a particular ethnic group of people through whom He would bring the revelation of the written Word of God to all of humanity. This Word would reveal that all of humanity will be saved by the sacrifice of a Savior sent by God. God chose a man named Abram and his descendants to be His chosen people. God did not choose Abram because he was more moral than other people. God chose Abram and his descendants because they were very intelligent, and because He knew that they would possess a stubborn desire to preserve His Word that He would give them. Deuteronomy 4:36-40. God also promised that He will preserve the nation and religion of Israel forever on the earth and that Israel will rule the world after God recreates it and all humans that He will raise from the dead. Isaiah 60:1-22; Daniel 12:2-3.
When God chose Abram, He promised him that He would give him and his descendants His special protection. God would reward any people who helped Israel, and He would severely punish any people who would hurt them. This prophecy has proven to be true throughout the history of the earth. Genesis 12:1-3. God also promised Abram that through him "...shall all families of the earth be blessed." This phrase can only mean every human who has ever lived. Since this phrase has to be true, then no living human can ever be cast into the lake of fire because that cannot be a blessing. Revelation 20:11-15 clearly teaches that God will cast only dead humans into the lake of fire, not living ones. Revelation 20:5 clearly teaches that God will raise every living human from the regions of the dead. This phrase that God gave Abram actually prophesies that God will save the good lives of every human He has ever created, some by His grace and all others by His resurrection of them in the end of the world. John 5:24; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5. Some of the artists in the early Church depicted Christ raising Adam and Eve from the dead. Since Eve is the mother of all living, then these pictures symbolize the fact that God will raise every living human from the dead. Genesis 3:20; Luke 20:38; Revelation 20:5.
Genesis 3:20 proves that God created all humans to have a good, living spirit, and from Adam and Eve onward, a good, living soul and spirit. Luke 20:38 proves that all living souls and spirits of all humans will always be alive to God. Ecclesiastes 3:14 proves that God can never lose anything He has ever created, and I Corinthians 13:8 proves that God's Love can never fail. Romans 12:3 proves that God has given faith to every living soul and spirit. Hebrews 2:9 and II Timothy 1:10 proves that Christ has abolished death itself in order to protect all of His living souls and spirits from eternal separation from Him. Revelation 20:15 and Revelation 21:8 proves that Christ will cast the first death, which is the total evil in mankind, into the second death. Revelation 20:5 proves that Christ will raise all the living souls and spirits of all humans from the regions of the dead. Revelation 5:11-14 proves that all living humans within the regions of the dead will repent and return to faith in Christ. John 5:24 proves that all humans who repent and believe while still alive in the flesh will receive eternal life the moment they believe.

Revelation 5:11-14 proves that all living humans within the regions of the dead will repent and return to faith in Christ. John 5:24 proves that all humans who repent and believe while still alive in the flesh will receive eternal life the moment they believe.

The World and the Word
The Results of the Fall
The Devil did not succeed in crushing even the good life of Judas Iscariot out of existence. Although Judas Iscariot refused to repent to God, he nevertheless felt terrible remorse for having betrayed Jesus which proved that he still had some goodness left in his life. Matthew 27:3-5. The fact that Jesus called Judas Iscariot "friend" when he came to betray Him demonstrated that Jesus still recognized some goodness in Judas' soul and spirit that He had created and that He would someday raise from Hell for Him to recreate to live on His recreated earth. Revelation 20:5; Matthew 26:50.
The fact that the Father and the Son possess absolute harmony and agreement means that the Father could never refuse to give His Son anything for which He prayed. In Luke 23:34, Jesus prayed that His Father would forgive the entire human race whose sins and evil had caused Him to be nailed to the cross. Acts 4:26-28. Jesus' prayer meant that His Father would not only save by His grace all who would repent and believe while still alive in the flesh but that He would also appoint a time and place when all humans consigned to the regions of death would see the Lamb of God and return to repentance and faith in Him of their own free will so that He can forgive them and reconcile them all to Himself. Revelation 5:11-14 records this event. Colossians 1:15-20 clearly teaches that God will "reconcile all things unto Himself." God created "all things," which includes all humans. Colossians 1:16. God promises in Revelation 21:5, "...Behold, I make all things new." All humans happen to be a part of "all things." Revelation 21:1-5.
From the fall of mankind to the story of the Tower of Babel, Satan had already done his worst to mankind which continues to this day. Satan had brought humanity to the brink of extinction, but God preserved His light of faith in the good lives of humans through Noah and his family. God also preserved a consciousness of Himself in the spirits of the pre-Adamic race whom He had to consign to the bottomless pit because of their sins. As Job's story symbolizes, Satan has brought humanity to the utter depths of despair. But God will never allow Satan to annul even one of the good lives of any human that He has created and will create. Job 1:12; Job 3:1-25.

The World and the Word
The Results of the Fall
Satan injected evil into the beings of humans because he believes that evil has the power eventually to completely ruin and annul the good lives of humans that God creates and loves. Evil causes the good lives of humans to sin, and the Devil believes that sin will, in time, so thoroughly corrupt the good life of at least one person to the extent that he or she becomes totally evil and lost from God's Love forever. When the Devil was Lucifer, he knew that a weakness in God's gift of free will to him allowed him to choose to become totally evil and in a state of rebellion against God. But God simply dissolved his system, recovered all the goodness He had put into him, and exiled his total evil to earth as an empty, negative consciousness called Satan. But Satan believes that he still retains the totally corrupted goodness that God gave him because he is still conscious even if it is only a negative consciousness. God used His consuming fire to dissolve Lucifer's system. Ezekiel 28:14-19. In the end of the world, God will use His consuming fire to dissolve the systems of all the temporary dead within the regions of the dead to separate their good lives that He created from their total evil that He will cast into the lake of fire. I Corinthians 3:11-15; Isaiah 30:33; Luke 3:16-17; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15.
Satan believes that because God created free will with a weakness in it, and that God possesses it Himself, then that means that God's Love cannot be Almighty. Satan believes that this supposed weakness in God will allow Satan eventually to find a way to murder God and take His place. John 8:44; Isaiah 14:12-17. All negative consciousnesses possess a completely perverted mind. Proverbs 8:36.
But God's gift of free will to Lucifer actually proves He is Almighty Love. God is completely innocent. God knew absolutely nothing about evil when He gave free will to Lucifer. God believed that Lucifer would only use his gift in good and creative ways because God knew only goodness and creativity. Parents can be innocent. Parents can give a good gift to their children and never think that they might misuse that gift to do something wrong.
When God discovered that evil nonexists and yet has some kind of negative power, He realized that He had to have unwittingly and accidentally caused its nonexistence when He created the universe. God realized that when He created a good, positive universe, He somehow left a huge hole of nonexistence in it that was covered by a darkness that He created long before He created light. Genesis 1:2-3. Negative consciousnesses, which God calls devils, somehow emerged from that darkness to infect Lucifer and cause him to rebel against God. God's Holiness and innocence would never allow Him to imagine that a negative consciousness could nonexist and yet possess some kind of negative power which is always destructive. II Thessalonians 2:7. The fact that God felt terribly guilty about accidentally causing evil only further proves that God's Love is Almighty. Isaiah 45:7.
When Satan injected evil into the beings of humans, he boasted to God that he now had the good lives of humans in his power, and he would eventually crush those lives completely out of existence and thereby prove that God's Love can fail. Job 1:9-12. But the Devil did not count on God's Love being so Almighty that He would put Himself between the Devil and humanity in order to force the Devil to direct all of the forces of sin and evil that threatened the extinction of the good lives of humans upon Himself nailed to a cruel cross dying man's eternal death in his place. Hebrews 2:9; Matthew 26:26-29; I Peter 3:18; John 15:13.

I Corinthians 3:11-15; Isaiah 30:33; Luke 3:16-17; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15.
Satan believes that because God created free will with a weakness in it, and that God possesses it Himself, then that means that God's Love cannot be Almighty. Satan believes that this supposed weakness in God will allow Satan eventually to find a way to murder God and take His place. John 8:44; Isaiah 14:12-17. All negative consciousnesses possess a completely perverted mind. Proverbs 8:36.
But God's gift of free will to Lucifer actually proves He is Almighty Love. God is completely innocent. God knew absolutely nothing about evil when He gave free will to Lucifer. God believed that Lucifer would only use his gift in good and creative ways because God knew only goodness and creativity. Parents can be innocent. Parents can give a good gift to their children and never think that they might misuse that gift to do something wrong.
When God discovered that evil nonexists and yet has some kind of negative power, He realized that He had to have unwittingly and accidentally caused its nonexistence when He created the universe. God realized that when He created a good, positive universe, He somehow left a huge hole of nonexistence in it that was covered by a darkness that He created long before He created light. Genesis 1:2-3. Negative consciousnesses, which God calls devils, somehow emerged from that darkness to infect Lucifer and cause him to rebel against God. God's Holiness and innocence would never allow Him to imagine that a negative consciousness could nonexist and yet possess some kind of negative power which is always destructive. II Thessalonians 2:7. The fact that God felt terribly guilty about accidentally causing evil only further proves that God's Love is Almighty. Isaiah 45:7.
When Satan injected evil into the beings of humans, he boasted to God that he now had the good lives of humans in his power, and he would eventually crush those lives completely out of existence and thereby prove that God's Love can fail. Job 1:9-12. But the Devil did not count on God's Love being so Almighty that He would put Himself between the Devil and humanity in order to force the Devil to direct all of the forces of sin and evil that threatened the extinction of the good lives of humans upon Himself nailed to a cruel cross dying man's eternal death in his place. Hebrews 2:9; Matthew 26:26-29; I Peter 3:18; John 15:13.

The World and the Word
The Results of the Fall
The book of Job reflects Satan's attitude toward the entire human race. God allowed Satan to do his worst to Job, but he had to spare his life. Satan ignored God's command and tried to permanently extinguish Job's life by causing him "to curse God and die." Job 2:9. Job represents the entire human race. Satan seeks to annul forever the good lives of all of humanity. His attempt to annul humanity exists as the spiritual death, which is totally evil, that Satan has injected into the inner beings of every human. But God loves the good lives of all humans whom He created, and He will never allow the faith that He has put into every human spirit to ever fail. I Corinthians 13:8; Romans 12:3. In the future Judgment Seat of Christ in the end of the world, God will resurrect all of His good lives confined to the regions of the dead because He will cause them all to return of their own free will to the faith that He put into them when He created them. Romans 12:3; Revelation 5:11-14; John 5:28-29; Revelation 20:5. God will separate all of their spiritual deaths from them and cast them into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15.
God does not regard the physical deaths of His saints as being death at all. Psalm 116:15; Mark 5:39; John 11:11; John 11:26; I Thessalonians 4:13. Physical death simply means a transition of life from a lower dimension to a higher one. Physical death and spiritual death exist as two different events entirely. God holds the right to dissolve any system that He has created. Physical death simply dissolves the material body to its constituent elements that God can use to create new life systems. Spiritual death means the eternal separation of the human soul and spirit from God's Love. God will allow the temporary spiritual deaths of all humans not saved by grace, but because of the temporary spiritual death of His Son, God will purge permanent spiritual death from the lives of all humans. Hebrews 2:9.
Many humans who have turned their lives over to do evil have cursed God, but their good lives, no matter how feeble, can never die forever. Even the worst humans have done some good that came from God which demonstrates that the dim light of faith within their good lives, although greatly subdued, cannot be put out by the Devil. Isaiah 26:12; Romans 12:3; Ecclesiastes 7:29; Ecclesiastes 12:14; Revelation 22:12. Even Hitler was good to his mistress and his dog. Stalin's daughter testified that although her father murdered millions, including his wife and son, he was always good to her. Can God ever lose anything He has ever created and loves? According to Ecclesiastes 3:14 and I Corinthians 13:8, He cannot.
Just as God completely dissolved Lucifer's system, stripped him of all the good ideas that God had put into him, and exiled him to earth as a totally empty and evil negative consciousness; so God will strip all of the total evil from all humans within the regions of the dead, resurrect their good lives that He created and loves, and cast their spiritual deaths into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15.
Jesus prophesied in John 12:25 that those who try to save their lives will lose them. Matthew 10:39; Matthew 16:25; Mark 8:35; Luke 9:24; Luke 17:33. All lost sinners consider their lives to belong to themselves, not to God. They try to save their own lives which they consider to be both the good and evil parts of themselves. Christ will judge them after they physically die, and He will cast their good and evil natures into one of the regions of the dead. Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 20:13. In the end of the world when Christ judges these lost sinners, He will use His consuming fire to dissolve their systems to separate their good lives from their evil natures. All of the Old Testament burnt offerings symbolized this event. I Corinthians 3:11-15. When Christ resurrects and recreates these living souls and spirits with new bodies to live as righteous humans on His recreated earth, they will not retain the same identities and personalities that they had on the former earth. In other words, they will lose their former lives. Those who chose to lead good lives on the former earth may retain some of their former identities and personalities, but those who chose to practice evil will retain none of their former lives. All humans who obtain salvation by grace while living on the former earth will retain their former identities and most of their personalities when they die and go to heaven. John 12:25; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5; II Corinthians 5:8.
