FAQ: Can you cite an Old Testament example where God approved human
sacrifice?

REPLY: Yes.

● Gen 22:1-2 . . Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham,
and said to him: Abraham! And he said: Here I am. And He said: Take now your
son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah; and offer
him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you.

NOTE: According to Gen 18:23-33, Abraham wasn't above challenging God's
judicial sensibilities. Had the old boy seriously believed that offering his son Isaac
as a burnt offering was wrong, he would've said something; in point of fact, he had
three days to think about it. (Gen 22:4)

Did Abraham slay Isaac? No; but did Abraham offer Isaac? Yes.

● Gen 22:9 . .Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And
Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his
son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood.

You see, once a gift dedicated to God is placed on an altar, it's a done deal--
whether the offering is dead or alive makes no difference. In point of fact, the letter
to Hebrews credits Abraham with offering his son in obedience to God's command.

● Heb 11:17 . . By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he
who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son

Had God disapproved human sacrifice, He would've stopped Abraham before Isaac
was laid on the altar.

But the real clincher is the 53rd chapter of Isaiah, which speaks of a human
sacrifice fully arranged, sanctioned, and worked out by none other than "the arm of
The Lord". In other words: it was a task wherein God rolled up His sleeves and
really got down to business.

FAQ: The Bible says Jesus went and spoke to the spirits in prison while he himself
was in the form of a spirit. (1Pet 3:18-20) Is that speaking of his three days and
nights in the afterlife per Matt 12:40 or some other time in history?

REPLY: It's at some other time in history: specifically in the days of Noah leading up
to the Flood. (Gen 6:3)

FAQ: The "my spirit" in that passage was the spirit of Christ? How so?

REPLY: The spirit of Christ inspired all the prophets, which of course included our
man Noah. (1Pet 1:10-12 & 2Pet 2:5)

FAQ: The spirits in prison per 1Pet 3:18-20 aren't fallen angels?

REPLY: The language and grammar of that passage indicate Peter's spirits are the
afterlife remains of folks drowned in the Flood.

● Ps 146:3-4 . . Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there
is no help. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his
thoughts perish.

* Princes would be equivalent to Local, State, and Federal governments which are
typically very skilled at getting themselves elected while not so skilled at fulfilling
their duty to God and country. (cf. Rom 13:1-6)

Some people honestly believe the passage above teaches that people cease to exist
when they pass away; but were their belief true, then Christ would've ceased to
exist when he passed away on the cross and in order to restore the Lord's body to
life, it would've been necessary to first create the man himself back into existence.
No; I'm pretty sure that Psalm says something very different.

The Hebrew word translated "thoughts" can just as easily pertain to plans, ideas,
and schemes.

Consider all those people who perished in the World Trade Center, in the Japan and
Indonesia tsunamis, and the Haiti earthquake. None of them woke that day
planning on it being their last on earth. No, on the contrary; they had people to
see, places to go, and things to do: but before the day ended; whatever was on
their minds lost its importance-- their priorities went right out the window and
became no more significant than green cheese on the moon.

All their plans, their dreams, their schedules, their appointments, their schemes,
their problems, their aspirations, and their loves went right down the tubes as they
were suddenly confronted with a whole new reality to cope with.

While preparing for a new world tour, Michael Jackson died in his sleep. As a result;
his tour wrapped on the spot.

When my eldest nephew was paroled from prison; he quit drinking, and began
going to college with the goal towards becoming a counselor. For 2½ years all went
well. His parole officer was happy, and my nephew was on track and getting good
grades. His future looked assured. And then on the morning of Sept 25, 2015, he
dropped dead to the floor of natural causes. As a result; his college education, and
his hope to become a counselor, dropped dead to the floor right with him.

* Jackson was raised a Jehovah's Witness, but it's possible he may have passed
away believing in Kabbalah, or Islam, or New Age spirituality. Apparently his
religion at death is thus far a mystery.

Well, either way: if traditional Christianity is true and reliable, then Jackson is likely
in a place now for which he was utterly unprepared. And can you imagine the
suffocating stagnation endured by entertainers like him as they languish day after
day, year after year, in an environment where not one single note of music is heard
for singing and dancing?

Here in the USA, even the worst among the worst have the right to an attorney,
and if they can't afford one, the system will appoint a public defender for them.

But in the fiery sector of Hades; people are abandoned. For example: the names of
Abraham and Lazarus are given in Luke 16:19-31, but the rich man's name isn't
given. He's a forgotten man.

● Prov 10:7 . .The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall
rot.

Christ's followers have the advantage of a competent defender 24/7/365

● Rom 8:33-34 . . Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen?
Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus who died? More than that, who was raised
to life; who is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us?

● Ecc 1:2-4 . . Meaningless! Futile! complains the Teacher. Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless. What does a man gain from all his labor at which he
toils under the Sun? Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains
forever.

The earth is dumber than a pizza box; yet easily outlives its human potentate
whose IQ is infinitely greater. Take for example the great granite monuments in
Yosemite Valley. Tourists to the valley come, and tourists to the valley go; and one
day the grim reaper catches up with those tourists and they're gone; yet Yosemite's
great stones abide decade after decade; century after century.

Most children born this day will be dead in 100 years; and Yosemite won't even
notice. Though a child born today may be intelligent enough to eventually
understand quantum mechanics and play classical guitar like Andrés Segovia; yet
Yosemite's sentinels-- stupid, mute, and uneducated - will easily outlast it.

● Rev 20:14 . . And death and hell was cast into the lake of fire.

The Greek word translated hell in that verse is haides (a.k.a. hades) which in
Hellenistic philosophy is an afterlife facility where all the dead went: the good dead
as well as the bad dead regardless of age, race, sex, gender identity, and/or
religious preference.

* The Jews spent some time under the thumb of Greek culture so it's no surprise
they would pick up some of their afterlife terminology.

Anyway by the time of the event depicted by Rev 20:11-15, haides will be empty
and its purpose obsolete having been replaced by the lake of fire.

FAQ: According to Rev 20:14, John saw death discarded in a lake of fire. Well;
death is an abstract. How then can it be spoken of as an object that can be picked
up and thrown like a baseball or a javelin?

REPLY: That passage is likely speaking of death as a category consisting of
everything and anything one can possibly imagine that God considers dead to
Himself, i.e. whatever it is with which and/or with whom, He prefers not to
associate-- including the father of death, i.e. that old dragon the Serpent from back
in the book of Genesis.

In that respect, the lake of fire could be thought of as a sanitary landfill, viz: there's
a really big Spring cleaning pending on God's to-do list.

expect that when new folks arrive there they will be subjected to discord, hatred,
meanness, factions, cliques, mistrust, prejudice, bias, caste systems, double
standards, partiality, racism, sexism, favoritism, deceit, surmising, dishonesty,
gossip, slander, sarcasm, cynicism, ridicule, envy, rivalry, resentment, gossip,

At some point during Jonah's nautical adventure, he spent some time in sheol
(Jonah 2:2) which he placed at the bottoms of the mountains. (Jonah 2:6)

Well, Jonah's fish was under the sea rather than under the mountains, and seeing
as how no part of a mountain is located in a fish's tummy, then we can be
reasonably certain that Jonah and his body parted company; implying that he wasn't
alive in the fish for the whole three days and three nights reported by Jonah 1:17;
which corroborates Jonah 2:9 that the prophet's body underwent putrefaction and
would've been completely destroyed had not God resurrected him in time to stop
the process from getting out of hand.

Jesus appropriated Jonah's experience to illustrate his own. Jesus predicted that at
some time during his three days and nights deceased, he would be in the heart of
the Earth. (Matt 12:40)

Well; Jesus' body was laid to rest on the surface of the Earth; so in order for him to
be down inside the Earth at same time, he and his body had to part company. In
other words: Jesus spent some of his three days and nights at the bottoms of the
mountains, i.e. sheol. And he too was resurrected in time to stop the process of
putrefaction from getting out of hand. (Ps 16:8-10 & Acts 2:25-32)

It's widely believed that when people die they cease to exist. Well; were that belief
a fact; then Jesus would've ceased to exist when he passed away on the cross. As a
result: he would not have been restored to life via resurrection, rather, via creation.

Jonah's experience proves that Jesus continued to exist out of body when he
passed away; and if he and Jonah did, then everyone else probably does too.

Judas goats are trained for use in slaughterhouses and herd control. In stockyards,
they lead sheep to slaughter; and are also used to lead other animals to specific
pens and on to trucks. The term is a reference to the biblical traitor Judas Iscariot.

The phrase has also been used to describe goats utilized to locate feral goats
targeted for eradication. They're usually outfitted with a transmitter, painted in red
and then released. The goats then locate the remaining herds of feral goats,
allowing hunters with tracking devices to find and exterminate them. The red paint
marks the goat with the transmitter so the hunters know which one not to shoot.

You know what can be even worse than going to Hell? Your own children following
you there: and they trusted you.

Here's a sort of cute story I heard once. I don't know if it's true but I guess it's
plausible.

A farmer went out to the barn in the dead of night after a snowfall to sneak a pull
from his secret liquor bottle. Just as he got to the barn door he heard something
behind him. Turning, the farmer recognized his little boy coming towards him. In
amazement he asked the little guy how he ever managed to find his way out to the
barn in the dark. His son replied: It was easy; I walked in your footprints.

One can only imagine the anguish that parents in the netherworld must feel
knowing that they inadvertently raised their children in an ideology that led them
down a road to the infernal regions and all the while sincerely believing themselves
doing the right thing. In other words: they actually Judas-goated their children to
follow mom and dad down there. For some families, the only thing they have to
look forward to in the afterlife is a sad reunion in fire and despair.

● Luke 16:22-25 . . It came to pass that a rich man died, and was buried. And in
Hades lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham on the other side of an impassible
barrier. And Abraham said: Son, remember . . .

I should think that one of the negative aspects of perdition is memory. How people
down there retain their memories sans the brain cells they left behind with their
corpse, I don't know; but they do. Apparently God has some sort of file transfer
protocol that silicon valley has yet to discover.

The older one gets, the more memories they accumulate, and many of those
memories haunt us with terrible regret. Well; some folks' regrets can be
rationalized, but for others; their past will forever be an albatross hung around
their neck.

● Gen 6:5 . . God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that
every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

The thoughts of the heart are somewhat different than the thoughts that go
through the mind; and are often blocked out, viz: "repressed"; defined as a mental
process by which distressing thoughts, memories, or impulses that may give rise to
anxiety are excluded from consciousness and left to operate in the unconscious, i.e.
the subconscious which, in Freud's opinion, is a repository for socially unacceptable
ideas, wishes or desires, traumatic memories, and painful emotions.

In other words: the subconscious is an area of our being that we struggle to
prevent becoming public; and thus become tormented with inner conflicts that
sometimes become so unbearable that they result in nervous breakdowns: and
even suicide.

● Matt 15:19 . . Out of the heart proceed evil thoughts

So then, it's not how our mind works that defines us, no, it's how our heart works
that really defines us; and our hearts are capable of influencing our self awareness
so that we end up with a false impression of ourselves.

● Jer 17:9 . .The human heart is most deceitful and desperately wicked. Who really
knows how bad it is?

God is able to peer into the heart's contents. That means He will be confronting
people with things about themselves that they suppressed and kept under wraps all
their lives; and that's why I sometimes say only a fool would take their chances
with God. They have no clue the extent of the psychological tsunami they're
walking into.

● Jer 17:10 . . I, The Lord, search the heart and examine the mind

● Rom 2:16 . . God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel
declares.

According to a report released on March 25, 2014 by the WHO (World Health
Organization) air pollution kills, on average, seven million people per annum; and is
linked to one in eight deaths (12.5%) world-wide.

According to a report by the public health agency of the United Nations; an
estimated 4.3 million people in developing countries died in 2012 as a result of
indoor air pollution, mostly from cooking with inadequately ventilated kitchen
equipment designed for coal and wood.

Air pollution is so lethal because it exacerbates other conditions like cardio vascular
diseases, cancer, and respiratory illnesses. Were people with those conditions
permitted to breathe clean air free of hazardous chemicals and toxic particulates,
they would live longer; thus the arrival times of many tagged for the infernal
regions would be delayed so they could enjoy life a bit longer before beginning an
eternity of perpetual anguish.

The wrath of God is interesting. For example:

● Isa 13:9 . . Behold, the day of The Lord comes-- cruel; with both wrath and fierce
anger

The Hebrew word for "wrath" in that statement pertains to outbursts of passion. In
other words: the wrath of God won't be weeping big wet crocodile tears while it's
slamming the dead at the Great White Throne event depicted at Rev 20:11-15; no,
they will be terminated with extreme prejudice. (cf. Isa 63:1-6, Rev 19:15)

Webster's defines "fierce" as a behavior exhibited by humans and animals that
inspires terror because of the wild and menacing aspect of fury in attack. Ferocity is
an aspect commonly seen among carnivorous beasts savagely ripping prey. There's
neither sportsmanship nor sympathy in ferocity; only sheer terror, brutality, and
blood lust.

"cruel" is defined as: disposed to inflict pain or suffering; viz: devoid of humane
feelings

Another interesting aspect of the wrath of God is the person appointed to
administer it-- none other than the sweet little babe away in a manger.

● John 5:22-23 . .The Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the
Son, that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father.

● Acts 17:31 . . For God has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by
the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from
the dead.

● Rev 19:15 . . He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treads the wine press
of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

Classical Hades is divided into sections where the souls of all the dead-- regardless
of age, race, gender, or religious preference --are assigned in accordance with the
quality of their pre-death existence. The worst section is a deep abyss called
Tartarus; which is utilized in 2Pet 2:4

● Acts 2:31a . . his soul was not left in Hades

Luke 23:13 says Jesus' section of Hades is called paradise; translated from a Greek
word for parks and recreation, i.e. an Eden.

According to Luke 16:23 the poor slobs over in the incendiary section of Hades can
look across to paradise and see what they're missing: sort of like destitute urchins
gazing thru the window of a posh restaurant at what people have on their plates;
which speaks very loudly of want and privation.

FAQ: Paradise is down in the netherworld?

REPLY: Well; some of it pretty much has to be in order for Abraham and the rich
man to communicate with each other per Luke 16:19-31.

Paradise is sort of like the Pacific Crest Trail (a.k.a. PCT) which traverses the
north/south length of three states-- California, Oregon, and Washington. No matter
where hiker trash might be located on the trail at any given moment-- whether
south in Campo San Diego, or crossing the Columbia River on the Bridge Of The
Gods 2,140 trail-miles to the north in Cascade Locks Oregon --they're all on the
very same PCT.

In like manner; a section of paradise is located in the netherworld (Matt 12:40,
Luke 16:19-31) another in a celestial region that Paul labeled the third heaven
(2Cor 12:2-4) and yet another is situated with God. (Rev 2:7)

A forgiven sinner is still sinful, and they'll go right on sinning same as before and

● Jer 13:23 . . Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots? Then may
you also do good who are accustomed to do evil.

Well; in light of the passages above, it's certainly no surprise to me that people
need to upgrade the very core of their being so that they would, by nature, be the
children of Heaven rather than the children of Hell that they are now.

again.

According to Dan 12:2 and John 5:28-29 there's only one resurrection allotted per
person. Therefore nobody is coming back from the lake of fire shown with the great
white throne event at Rev 20:10-15 because they will use up their one resurrection
to stand and face justice. People walk away alive from the fire spoken of at 1Cor
3:5-15 whereas nobody walks away alive from the lake.

FAQ: You say there is but one resurrection allotted per person. What about all those
people in the Bible who were restored to life? Was that it for them?

REPLY: Dan 12:2 and John 5:28-29 speak of "the" resurrection; which is quite a bit
different than common resurrections because those in the Bible returned folks to
their former lives so they could pick up where they left off, whereas "the"
resurrection moves people forward to an existence in the future; which may, or
may not, be to their advantage.

● Dan 12:2 . . Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to
everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.

voice and come out-- those who have done good will rise to live, and those who
have done evil will rise to be condemned.

POSIT: I'm special; God understands me. Although He probably may not let others
off; I'm sure God will make an exception for me because I'm not like other people;
I'm different.

REPLY: Unfortunately, the Bible's God can't do that. If He were to make exceptions,
God would be neither equitable, nor honest-- and worse, it would go against His
grain, compromise His integrity, sin against His conscience; and cause Him to lose
the world's respect.

No, God doesn't grade on a curve: everyone is treated equally in God's courtroom.
In a system of divine absolutes; there is neither a curve nor an exception: nobody
gets any favors, nobody is special, and nobody is a protected species.

● Deut 10:17 . . Jehovah shows no partiality and accepts no bribes.

● Acts 10:34 . .Then Peter began to speak: I now realize how true it is that God is
impartial.

● Rom 2:5-11 . . For there is coming a day of judgment when God, the just judge
of all the world, will judge all people according to what they have done. He will give
eternal life to those who persist in doing what is good, seeking after the glory and
honor and immortality that God offers.

. . . But he will pour out his anger and wrath on those who live for themselves, who
refuse to obey the truth; and practice evil deeds. There will be anguish and
calamity for everyone who practices evil-- for the Jew first and also for the Gentile.
But there will be glory and honor and peace from God for all practice good --for the
Jew first and also for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism.

The rich man spoken of in Luke 16:19-31 addressed Abraham as "father" and he in
turn addressed the man as "son" which suggests they are very distantly related as
grandfather/grandson.

Heaven's criminal justice system requires eye for eye, tooth for tooth, burning for
burning, hand for hand, foot for foot, wound for wound, and stripe for stripe.

Where does that leave people like Ted Kaczynski who killed and/or maimed 26
people with homemade bombs; or Stephen Paddock who indiscriminately sprayed a
music concert in Las Vegas with a rifle equipped with a bump stock resulting in 471
dead and/or wounded; and the numerous serial killers that are in and out of the
news from time to time? How are those murderers supposed to balance the scales
of justice for all the illegal deaths they've caused?

Well; the fact of the matter is: they can't balance the scales because they simply
don't' have enough lives of their own with which to atone for their victims' lives.

This makes me suspect that perdition isn't uniform, i.e. there's one Hell, but its
circumstances may be something akin to the nine levels of Inferno in Dante
Alighieri's Divine Comedy. Wouldn't that be something?

● Rom 6:23 . .The wages of sin is death

That rule is very serious because, at most, people have only two lives to forfeit for
sin-- the life they have now, and the one they'll have later at their resurrection; but
unfortunately, their current life has already been forfeited due to Adam's
disobedience in the garden of Eden so they can't use this life to atone for any of
their own disobedience.

And when they're resurrected to stand trial at the Great White Throne event
depicted at Rev 20:11-15; that'll be their last life because according to Dan 12:23
and John 5:28-29 there's only one resurrection allotted per person.

That's at least one of the reasons why no one is coming back from the second
death depicted at Rev 20:11-15, i.e. there's no third death, nor fourth death, ad
infinitum.
