Job 14:14 . . If a man dies, will he live again?

Back in ancient times; men like Job were attuned to nature. In point of fact,
Job was a very successful rancher; a guy who made his living working
outdoors.

Every year he watched things die in the Fall and come back in the Spring. If
only human life were like that; but alas, when people die they typically don't
regenerate like the new leaves on a dormant maple tree.

1Pet 1:24 . . All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of
the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of The Lord
stands forever.

FAQ: Folks not found registered in the Lamb's book of life are sent to the
second death per Rev 20:11-15. Will they be consumed by the brimstone
and gone forever?


REPLY: Adam was warned that were he to taste the forbidden fruit, he would
die that very day (Gen 2:17) and he did, but not in a way readily apparent.


Up to that moment, Adam enjoyed perpetual youth, but upon tasting the
fruit, he lost perpetual youth and began to age, i.e. his body became
infected with mortality, which is a lingering kind of death rather than the
kind of death where people drop dead to the floor of a sudden from strokes,
bullets, bludgeons, or falls from a very high building down onto solid
concrete.


In other words: Adam's death was an ongoing process that gradually wore
him down to the point where his body finally gave out, and he passed away.


By comparing the language and grammar of any and all passages related to
the second death, I think we can safely conclude that it too is a lingering
death that apparently will be a perpetual process with no definite end. (cf.
Isa 66:23-24)

Luke 16:27-29 . . I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, for
I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to
this place of torment.

The five brothers would more than likely recognize Lazarus because he was
laid at the rich man's gate; so that whenever they came over for a visit;
there he'd be for them to walk past.

I can well imagine that the men would be fascinated by Lazarus' tale but not
fascinated enough to make a difference because Abraham assured the rich
man that his brothers wouldn't believe Lazarus; and honestly: who in their
right mind would; especially a tale coming from a no-account indigent whose
body covered with sores very likely wasn't even given a decent burial but
instead dumped without ceremony in a landfill somewhere?

Yahweh wasn't looking for people's religion on Passover night, nor was He
looking for people's piety and/or their conduct . He was looking for just one
thing, and one thing only: the blood.

That being the case, then had a Jewish family failed to apply the blood in the
proper manner, their first-born son would've been slain. On the other hand;
were an Egyptian family careful to apply the blood in the proper manner,
their son would've been spared because the The Lord is neither biased nor
prejudiced.

Along that same line; Jesus' blood will protect anybody and everybody who
applies it in the proper manner because he died for all; no exceptions
regardless of age, race, gender and/or religious preference. But many won't
be protected by his blood, because they will neglect to apply it at all, let
alone properly.

Although church attendance is oftentimes thought of as worship, in reality
it's not quite.

John 4:21 . . Jesus declared: Believe me, woman, a time is coming when
you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

* Jerusalem is the Temple site-- the very hub of worship --yet Jesus ranks it
below something far more important.

John 4:23 . . A time is coming, and has now come, when the true
worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and truth, for they are the kind of
worshipers the Father seeks.

The human spirit is inadequate for the level of worship Jesus spoke of, so;
it's necessary to infuse folks with God's spirit in order to bring them up to
speed, so to speak.

John 4:24 . . God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him
in Spirit and in truth.

Actually Jesus didn't introduce something new. The prophet Ezekiel predicted
that very thing something like 500 years before Jesus was born.

"I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries
and bring you back into your own land. I will sprinkle clean water on you,
and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all
your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will
remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will
put My spirit in you and move you to follow My decrees and be careful to
keep My laws." (Ezek 36:24-27)

Well, since my baby left me,
I found a new place to dwell.
It's down at the end of Lonely Street at
Heartbreak Hotel.

Although it's always crowded,
You still can find some room
For broken-hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom.

That song, by Elvis Presley back in 1956, was very popular; and useful for
depicting some of the conditions folks might expect in the netherworld
should they end up on the wrong side of things. For example: just as Elvis'
hotel always has a vacancy, so the netherworld too.

Prov 30:15-16 . . There are three things that will not be satisfied-- four
that will not say, "Enough"

One of the four listed in that passage is Sheol, a.k.a. Hades which in
Hellenistic culture spoke of the netherworld: a place in which all the dead
were warehoused: both the good dead and the bad dead regardless of age,
race, gender, or religious preference.

And then there's "cry there in their gloom"

Matt 13:40-42 . . As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the
fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The son of man shall send forth
his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend,
and them which do iniquity; and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there
shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Is it not about what man is capable of doing with his life that exists is all mankind.

Should i only be concerned by the wrong I can do with his life or the wrong others can do with his life.

Heb 6:4-6 . . For it is impossible for those who have once been enlightened,
who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have
tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, if
they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are
crucifying the Son of God afresh and subjecting him to public disgrace.


We know that with God nothing is impossible. So, I think we have to
acquiesce that the impossibility spoken of here is so because God has made
it His mission in life, so to speak, to assure that folks blessed with the level
of advantages spoken of here are never to be given an opportunity to
reconsider-- ever. The die is cast; e.g. Judas Iscariot. (cf. Prov 1:20-33)
