On this earth there are more than seven billion people!
The most populous lands are China, India, and other parts of Asia, and in spite of missionaries from the West, actually more than half of all people on the earth have never so much as heard the only Name by which men can be saved - the name of Jesus Christ!
This means that billions of people here on this earth have lived, and died, without having known anything about God's provision of salvation - without saving knowledge - neither having heard the only Name by which men may be saved!
Now think what that means. If all unsaved are eternally lost, then more than half the people who have ever lived on this earth have been consigned to eternal hell without ever having been given so much as a chance to escape it!
What about the millions of people living now in the modern nations of Red China where the Gospel is suppressed?
Those people did not choose to be born into these godless nations. Are they lost forever because they never heard the true message of God's love in Christ?
Is this their only day of salvation? Are they eternally doomed when they die?
Will a just God and Saviour condemn to eternal damnation those people who died before the true Gospel was ever brought to them?
Is God about to "shut the door" of mercy in their face? -J. Preston Eby-
So, what is the only name in heaven or earth by which we can be saved, what is the name that the Lord God our savior gave to Jesus, his obedient servant?
John 17: 12; “While I was with them, I kept them safe by the power of your name, the name you gave me.”
John 8: 28-29; So he said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, you will know that ‘I Am Who I Am’; then you will know that I do nothing on my own authority, but I say only what the Father has instructed me to say. And he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, because I always do what pleases him.
So, get behind me you charlatan priests and you shams, for I am true to my God, to MY God, ‘WHO I AM.’
Those who are true to who they are will live. They who are obedient to the very law that they impose on the society around them, such as, “Do not harm of kill me or mine, do not steal from me or mine, do not indulge in sex with my Partner, etc, etc, will live.
Jesus was asked, “What must I do to gain eternal life,” to which he answered “ Love God with all you heart, with all your mind=spirit, and with all your soul, and love your neighbour as yourself, and you will live. Do unto others only that which you would have others do unto you. What a wonderful world would that be to live in.
Jesus says in Matthew 25: 31-36; “When the Son of Man comes as King and all the angels with him, he will sit on his royal throne, 32and the people of all the nations will be gathered before him. Then he will divide them into two groups, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33He will put the righteous people on his right and the others on his left. 34Then the King will say to the people on his right, ‘Come, you that are blessed by my Father! Come and possess the kingdom which has been prepared for you ever since the creation of the world. 35I was hungry and you fed me, thirsty and you gave me a drink; I was a stranger and you received me in your homes, 36naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you took care of me, in prison and you visited me.’”
25: 40-; “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Away from me, you that are under God's curse! Away to the eternal fire which has been prepared for the Devil and his angels! I was hungry but you would not feed me, thirsty but you would not give me a drink; I was a stranger but you would not welcome me in your homes, naked but you would not clothe me; I was sick and in prison but you would not take care of me.’ ----- These, then, will be sent off to eternal punishment, but the righteous will go to eternal life.”
The second death from which there is no return, is the punishment that is eternal
Revelation 21: 5-; Then the one who sits on the throne (The Son of Man) said, “And now I make all things new!” He also said to me, “Write this, because these words are true and can be trusted.” And he said, “It is done! I am the first and the last, the beginning and the end. To anyone who is thirsty I will give the right to drink from the spring of the water of life without paying for it. Those who win the victory will receive this from me: I will be their God, and they will be my children. But cowards, traitors, perverts, murderers, the immoral, those who practise magic, those who worship idols, and all liars — the place for them is the lake burning with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.”
According to the scriptures, there is no eternal torment for the unrepentant and unforgivable, only eternal oblivion.
The disembodied spirits=minds, that all survive the first death of the body in which they had developed, who have refused to repent of there crimes against their fellow man, will suffer the second death, when those minds will be divided from the soul, (The divine animating principle that pervades and animates all within this universe) to which, lifeless souls, God will give a new body in which a new mind=spirit will develop in the new world where all will be true to Who They Are.
