45a. Why was the Archangel Envious of Adam & Eve ?
Matthew 20:1-16 shows us that we will all receive
the same rewards in Heaven which is eternal life and giving glory to God. There are no different rewards in
Heaven. If there was different rewards
in Heaven, people would be prideful. In addition,
if there was different rewards in Heaven, people will be jealous of each other.
Just be glad that you are one of God’s elects. Only
God's elects names are written in the book of life. It is impossible for God’s elect’s names to
be struck from the book of life. While
all of the nonelects’s names, have never been and will never be written in the book of
life. (Revelation 13:8)
Now I will be telling you what Heaven is like. Read
Revelation 14:13.

Question: "What is the Book of Life?"
Answer: Revelation 20:15 declares, “If anyone's name
was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of
fire.” The Book of Life is the set of names of those who will live with God
forever in heaven. It is the roll of those who are saved. This Book of Life is
also mentioned in Revelation 3:5; 20:12; and Philippians 4:3. The same book is
also called the Lamb’s Book of Life because it contains the names of those who
have been redeemed by the blood of the Lord Jesus (Revelation 13:8; 21:27).
How can you
be sure your name is written in the Book of Life? Be sure you’re saved. Repent
of sin and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior (Philippians 4:3;
Revelation 3:5). Once your name is written in the Book of Life, it is never
erased (Revelation 3:5; Romans 8:37-39). No true believer should doubt his
eternal security in Christ (John 10:28-30).
The Great
White Throne Judgment described in Revelation 20:11-15 is a judgment for
unbelievers. That passage makes it clear that no one at that judgment has his
name in the Book of Life (Revelation 20:12-14). Since their names are not in
the Book of Life, their fate is sealed, their punishment is sure.
Some people
point to Revelation 3:5 as “proof” that a person can lose his salvation. However,
the promise of Revelation 3:5 is clearly that the Lord will not erase a name:
“He who overcomes . . . I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life.” An
overcomer is one who is victorious over the temptations, trials, and evils of
this world—in other words, one who is redeemed. The saved are written in God’s
registry and have the promise of eternal security.

My comments:
1 John 2:19
King James Version (KJV)
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us;
for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but
they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
1 John 2:19 shows us that the people that “went out
from us” are nonelects when they were physically born and its impossible for
them to receive the Holy Spirit because God won’t give it to them.
The 3 types of ground that are nonelects (the wayside, stony places and among thorns).
(Matthew 13:4-7, Matthew 13:19-22, Mark 4:4-7, Mark 4:15-19, Luke 8:5-7 and Luke 8:12-14)
The 3 types of ground that are nonelects (the wayside, stony places and among thorns).
(Matthew 13:4-7, Matthew 13:19-22, Mark 4:4-7, Mark 4:15-19, Luke 8:5-7 and Luke 8:12-14)
While only 1 type of ground are God's elects (good
ground).
John 14:17
King James Version (KJV)
In John 14:17, the word "world" are all of the nonelects and God won't give the Holy Spirit to the nonelects.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another
passage over which confusion sometimes arises is Psalm 69:28: “Let them
[David’s enemies] be blotted out of the book of the living.” This “book of the
living” should not be confused with the Lamb’s Book of Life. David is referring
to earthly, physical life, not eternal life in heaven. The same is true of the
“book” mentioned in Exodus 32:32-33.
God keeps
good records. He knows His own, and He has set the names of His children
permanently in His book.
Question: "Is eternal security biblical?"
Answer: When people come to know Christ as their
Savior, they are brought into a relationship with God that guarantees their
eternal security. Jude 24 declares, "To Him who is able to keep you from
falling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with
great joy." God's power is able to keep the believer from falling. It is
up to Him, not us, to present us before His glorious presence. Our eternal
security is a result of God keeping us, not us maintaining our own salvation.
The Lord
Jesus Christ proclaimed, "I give them eternal life, and they shall never
perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to
me, is greater than all, no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand"
(John 10:28-29b). Both Jesus and the Father have us firmly grasped in their
hand. Who could possibly separate us from the grip of both the Father and the
Son?
Ephesians 4:30 tells us that believers are
"sealed for the day of redemption." If believers did not have eternal
security, the sealing could not truly be unto the day of redemption, but only
to the day of sinning, apostasy, or disbelief. John 3:15-16 tells us that
whoever believes in Jesus Christ will "have eternal life." If a
person were to be promised eternal life, but then have it taken away, it was
never "eternal" to begin with. If eternal security is not true, the
promises of eternal life in the Bible would be in error.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The most
powerful argument for eternal security is Romans 8:38-39, "For I am
convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the
present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything
else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is
in Christ Jesus our Lord." Our eternal security is based on God's love for
those whom He has redeemed. Our eternal security is purchased by Christ,
promised by the Father, and sealed by the Holy Spirit.
Hell and the Lake of fire
THE BIBLICAL DOCTRINE OF HELL #4: A PLACE FOR THE
DAMNED WHICH DISPLAYS GOD'S WRATH & JUSTICE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XslbMYLexu4
http://www.gotquestions.org/levels-hell.html
In Revelation 20:11-15, the people are judged
“according to what they had done as recorded in the books” (Revelation 20:12).
All the people at this judgment, though, are thrown into the lake of fire
(Revelation 20:13-15). So, perhaps, the purpose of the judgment is to determine
how severe the punishment in hell will be. Whatever the case, being thrown into
a slightly less hot portion of the lake of fire is no consolation to those who
are still doomed for eternity. Whatever degrees of punishment hell contains, it
is clear that hell is a place to be avoided.
Unfortunately, the Bible states that most
people will wind up in hell. “…For wide is the gate and broad is the road that
leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and
narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it” (Matthew 7:13-14).
The question one must ask is “which road am I on?” The “many” on the broad road
have one thing in common—they have all rejected Christ as the one and only way
to heaven. Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes
to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). When He said He is the only way,
that is precisely what He meant. Everyone following another “way” beside Jesus
Christ is on the broad road to destruction, and whether or not there are
different levels of punishment in hell, the suffering is hideous, dreadful,
eternal, and avoidable.

degrees of punishment, Revelation 20:12-13, book of works=depends on how many
sins you have committed=Nonelects live a very long life on earth but the more they live, the greater punishment in Hell and lake of fire that they will have to face, how much you know the bible, how many false doctrines that
you have preached if you are a pastor, elder, deacon, scholar or teacher and
more).

land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
Matthew 11:20-24
King James Version (KJV)
20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his
mighty works were done, because they repented not:
21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if
the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they
would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre
and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
Judgment will be worse for some than others.
23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt
be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee,
had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for
the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
King James Version (KJV)
11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all
against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered
me (Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus) unto thee (Pilate) hath the greater sin.
John 19:11 tells us that some sins are greater than others.
3.2 Degrees of Sin
by Ryan Turner and Chad Ressler
Biblically, there seems to be definite teaching that
there are different levels of hell - at least in the sense that there are
various degrees of punishment. The Bible
does not specifically mention higher or lower levels of hell in the location
sense, but it does allude to degrees of punishment and sins:
1. More Tolerance for Certain Sins
A. Matthew 10:15, "Truly I say to you, it will
be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment
than for that city."
B. Matthew 11:23-24, “And you, Capernaum, will not
be exalted to heaven, will you? You will descend to Hades; for if the miracles
had occurred in Sodom which occurred in you, it would have remained to this
day. 24 “Nevertheless I say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land
of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you."
C. Luke 10:13-14, "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to
you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles had been performed in Tyre and Sidon which
occurred in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and
ashes. 14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than
for you," (cf. Luke 10:7-12).
I. The implication of those above three passages is
that there is a greater punishment for rejecting Jesus than there is for even
the most atrocious sins in the Old Testament.
2. Greater Punishment
A. Matthew 23:14, "Woe to you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense
you make long prayers; therefore you will receive greater condemnation,"
(cf. Mark 12:40; Luke 20:47).
B. Luke 12:47-48, "And that slave who knew his
master’s will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will
receive many lashes, 48 but the one who did not know it, and committed deeds
worthy of a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone who has been given
much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will
ask all the more."
i. This passage appears to indicate that the greater
our knowledge, the greater our responsibility.
Also, it indicates the greater our punishment if we fail in our
responsibility (this is in relation to unbelievers).
3. Greater Sin
A. John
19:11, "...for this reason he who delivered Me to you has the greater
sin."
I. Jesus
specifically attributes Judas's betrayal as a greater sin than Pontius
Pilate's.

24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy
on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and
cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
You would experience about less than 1% of Hell, if you went to a desert with no water for hours dehydrated=having a dry mouth. I have been to a desert and I experienced what it is like.

King James Version (KJV)
20 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes
of man are never satisfied.
Proverbs 1:26-33
King James Version (KJV)
26 I (God) also will laugh at your (nonelects) calamity; I will mock when your
fear cometh;
27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction
cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they
shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the
fear of the Lord:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my
reproof.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way,
and be filled with their own devices.
32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and
the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall
be quiet from fear of evil.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
We all have that emptiness, when we were
physically born because we were separated from God by birth. The things of this
world will never satisfy us and is all vanity, no matter how much we have. For example: Going to
a friend's house for years, but still not satisfied. Buying something new, but
still not satisfied and the list continues. The reason why most of the things of this
world will never satisfy us is because most of the things of this world are sins. The things of this world are temporary and
are fading away. But God is
forever. Read 1 John 2:15-17.
-That emptiness is permanently satisfied, when God gives
his chosen ones the Holy Spirit and being reunited with God.
The God-shaped Vacuum: Our Third Part and the
Meaning of Human Life
Everything was good in the video "The
God-shaped Vacuum: Our Third Part and the Meaning of Human Life", except
the part of the sinner's prayer 2:18-2:50 that does not give the Holy Spirit. God will only give the Holy Spirit to all of God's elect, not nonelects. Remember that all of God's elect and nonelects are all guilty and deserve the punishment of the lake of fire. But in God's great undeserved love and mercy was willing to save some people (all of God's elect). Better than no mercy at all.
Declaring War on The Sinner's Prayer (Paul
Washer)
King Solomon had everything, but he said it is all
vanity and will never give you happiness.
Maybe temporary pleasure but that’s it.
Only God can bring permanent happiness.
But majority of the world are going after the things
of this world (spending time with friends, family, possessions, money and more)
instead of God. Don't they know all of
that except God, is gone once they die? Then they spend an eternity (forever
and ever) in the lake of fire…
Nonelects lose everything once they die, all that work for
nothing. Then they regret it for eternity.
Mark 8:36
King James Version (KJV)
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain
the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Matthew 16:24-25
King James Version (KJV)
24 Then said
Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself,
and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever will save his life shall
lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
John 12:25-26
King James Version (KJV)
25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he
that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26 If any
man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant
be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
James 4:14
King James Version (KJV)
14 Whereas ye
know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a
vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
This life on earth is very very short, give up everything for Christ and depend on Christ for your basic needs. Pray to God before doing anything.

If Satan and his angels have been cast out of heaven, and they have been cast into Tartarus, and they have been cast on this earth, and they have been cast into the “Bottomless Pit”, and they have been bound with chains of darkness, but nevertheless they are still able to roam around and deceive those who have not the seal of God in their foreheads, what does that tell us about the location of the Bottomless Pit?
My notes:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The bottom was a discussion I had with a pastor I know.
Hell is an English word for the general temporal place of
punishment until the final judgment. Hades is a Hebrew word, for a more a
resting place of death. It refers to what we call Hell.
What do you mean by "more a resting place of
death."?
It is not specific as to a place. It is a more general term
but basically they are the same place.
Why do some people use Hades instead of Hell? Is it to make
it a different meaning?
Because often they are trying to claim that Hell is not in
the Bible but they have to change the meaning of Hades to do so.
And what is the change that they want Hades to be?
Death not a place, but just a reference to death which they
claim but is not true.
Hades, Sheol and Gehenna are three different Hebrew words
and have a different focus but basically what we call Hell.
Hell=Hades=Sheol=Gehenna
Why is it that Atheists say Gehenna and not Hell? Is it to
change its meaning also?
They say it, to change its meaning in order to deny the
whole existence of Hell.
Atheists use the words Hades, Sheol and Gehenna that few
people know, in order to deny the word Hell which most people know as
everlasting fire.
Found this on Wikipedia "annihilationists understand
Gehenna to be a place where sinners are eventually utterly destroyed, not
tormented forever."

Of course, the Bottomless Pit is here, on this sin cursed earth. This earth is a round sphere, but in God’s terminology it is a Bottomless Pit.
My notes:
Tartarus=Spiritual Earth is where Satan and his demons are
imprisoned right now in the thousand years.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jesus drank the cup of
the wrath of God (Jesus went through Hell, spiritually) when he was on the
cross, in order to pay for all of God's elects's sin debts and punishments in
Hell. The top Hell verses that I just
mentioned is what Jesus had to go through.
Now you know why God's elects are willing to suffer and be persecuted
for Jesus's sake. God's elects sufferings
are nothing, compared to what Jesus Christ had to go through. Jesus started drinking the cup of the wrath of God, when he said "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34) Then he endured Hell, the above Hell verses is what he had to endure spiritually. Jesus finished drinking the cup of the wrath of God when he said "It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost." (John 19:30)
