John Chapter 3 Verse 16

John 3:16, J.N. Darby Translation "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him may not perish, but have life eternal."

The world needs some more clarity on John 3:16. To BELIEVE IN JESUS is simply to believe or accept his message. This is a belief or faith in his message that leads to the spiritual transformation of your heart, mind, and soul. God gave his only begotten Son DOES NOT mean God sent him to die, without which sins cannot be forgiven.

Jesus himself proved that sins can be forgiven and salvation can occur without him having to die. For example:

• The man sick of palsy: Luke 5:17–26

• The confirmation of the salvation of the seventy evangelists: Luke 10:18-20

• The repentance and salvation of Zacchaeus: Luke 19:1-10

Christ incarnated as Jesus to deliver a message from God the Father to us. He came to provide a perfect revelation of who our heavenly Father really is. He also came to have the full human experience of birth, living, death, resurrection, and ascension. This was a requirement by the heavenly Father, our First Source, that enabled him - Christ (Jesus) to be more just, fairer, more compassionate, more empathetic, more understanding, more merciful, more faithful, etc, of and towards his mortal lowly creatures, in a very, very deep EXPERIENCIAL way. This yields so, so many, many blessings or advantages.

People receive salvation at the cross, NOT really because of Jesus' death, in and of itself. No, please. It is because of the personal, revelational, life transforming encounter they have with God and his love at the cross of Christ. Without this encounter, salvation will not occur, even if you shout a million times, "Blood of Jesus, wash my sins away!" Yes, this encounter can happen at the cross. It can also happen outside the cross.

Please understand that God, our spiritual Father, does NOT input sin or transfer sin from one person to another. Doing so is INJUSTICE. God forgives sin and destroys sin. He does not transfer it. Now, if you say your sins were transferred to Jesus, then some questions arise: How was Jesus cleansed from the sins he took? If he became sin, then how was he delivered from the sin that he became? You see, beloved, the Spirit of Truth speaks clearly: God does not transfer sins.

Ezekiel 18:20 "The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself."

All grace!

Patience with Rebels

All unseen rebellious spirits or beings were permitted to move and act freely to a certain extent. And Christ allowed this, in part, to let everyone on the terrestrial realm (e.g. earth) and the celestial realm see, without a shadow of a doubt, the folly of their actions that "the way of the transgressor is hard"; that "within every sin is concealed the seed of its own destruction"; that “the wages of sin is death." 

The fallen spirits were all children of Christ Michael before they fell. The love of Christ towards them did not stop because they fell. There is always an abundance of room for forgiveness towards any and all creatures. The forgiveness of God is not only available for humans. It is also available for fallen angels, fallen Celestial Sons like Lucifer, Satan, Caligastia, etc. Christ Michael was patient with them, in part, because he gave them time to repent. If you sincerely repent, you will be forgiven - whether you are a human being, an angel or a spirit. 

Now, some people find this shocking and unacceptable! But please, why? There is no God-inspired scripture that says our heavenly Father can forgive human beings but CANNOT forgive angels or unseen spirits who err or fall away. None. Please remember, Christ created all those fallen angels and fallen Sons! He loves them just like he loves us - even if we stray away. Christ offers forgiveness to all. 

Concerning Lucifer, the records show: 

"...He was long offered opportunity for repentance, but only some of his subordinates ever accepted the proffered mercy. The Faithful of Days of Edentia, on the request of the Constellation Fathers, in person presented the plan of Michael for the saving of these flagrant rebels, but always was the mercy of the Creator Son rejected and rejected with increasing contempt and disdain." - The Urantia Book, Paper 53:2.5, "The Lucifer Rebellion" 

From 53:2.5, we see that some of Lucifer's subordinates accepted the proffered mercy - they repented. And they were forgiven. 🙏 

Christ Michael (aka Jesus Christ) offered forgiveness to the fallen angels and other fallen spirits:

"Early in the days of the Lucifer rebellion, salvation was offered all rebels by Michael. To all who would show proof of sincere repentance, he offered, upon his attainment of complete universe sovereignty, forgiveness and reinstatement in some form of universe service. None of the leaders accepted this merciful proffer. But thousands of the angels and the lower orders of celestial beings, including hundreds of the Material Sons and Daughters, accepted the mercy proclaimed by the Panoptians and were given rehabilitation at the time of Jesus’ resurrection nineteen hundred years ago..." - Paper 53:9.1, "The Lucifer Rebellion" 

Paper 53:9.1 reveals two key things:  

1) They were offered salvation in the early days of the rebellion. This was about 200,000 years ago. 

"Early in the days of the Lucifer rebellion, salvation was offered all rebels by Michael."  

2) They were offered salvation again after Michael, as "Jesus of Nazareth", son of man and Son of God, attained full or complete sovereignty over the universe of his own creation, the universe of Nebadon, our local universe. 

"To all who would show proof of sincere repentance, he offered, upon his attainment of complete universe sovereignty, forgiveness and reinstatement in some form of universe service." 

So, clearly, from the beginning of the Lucifer rebellion to when Christ was here as Jesus (or Yeshua) and even up until now, our heavenly Father and his Christ continues to leave the door of salvation open to his unseen misguided and rebellious children. This is huge! It opens our eyes to the infinite greatness of the love of God towards all - human beings, angels, "Sons of God", etc, etc. 

Some people find it very difficult to accept that God will or can forgive Lucifer, Satan, Caligastia, etc. BUT PLEASE, remember, God is not man! Can you recall the parable of the prodigal son? His father continued to have love for him and forgiveness towards him - even though he went astray! If a human father can forgive his erring or even wicked children, please, how much more God the Father? God, the Father of fathers, the Father of spirits, the Father of all, the Father of love! How much more! He is the Father of human beings and spirits as well. His heart is infinitely large enough to accommodate and forgive all... Please, stop and meditate on this for a minute. 🙏 

Some people argue that it is not fair to forgive rebellious spirits because of the great atrocities they have committed. Some people even say that they can never repent. But we see from paper 53 that some of them have repented. Also, if you as a human being can forgive your human children regardless of their atrocities, then please, what makes you think our heavenly Father cannot forgive his spirit children regardless of their atrocities? 🤔

Hell Fire, the Lake of Fire and God's Love

Please, come with me, patiently... Here on Earth, if someone with a conscience does something bad, evil or wicked, he (or she) usually would feel really uncomfortable. He would feel some pains and would go through some sorrows. If he does something amazing and really good, he would feel happiness, joy, love and satisfaction.

In the after-life, when the physical body shell is discarded, these feelings of pains/sorrows or joy/gladness are highly, greatly amplified to the "nth degree". The joy, gladness and love become really, really "unspeakable"! The pains, sorrows and guilt become really, really amplified too. The physical, carnal body really does insulate us from or limit us from having a complete or total, all-encompassing feeling of "actual realities". The mortal death (the first death), changes all that.

This explains why souls feel great pains in hell or great joys unspeakable in heaven. God does not take pleasure in punishing you. But you reap what you sow. Plain and simple. 

However, the heavenly Father, the Father of all does not keep souls in hell forever. We must ask, "Keeping souls in hell eternally... ...Please, what purpose does it serve? How does that add value to the eternal plan and purpose of God? Who benefits from that?"

Revelation 20:14 says, "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death." Clearly, "hell" is not the same as "the lake of fire". If they are the same, hell will not be cast into the lake of fire. Hell cannot be cast into itself. So, please, what does this text mean? The mortal death is the first death. Now, some people will find themselves in hell. But after a while, "death and hell" would be cast into the lake of fire. What does this mean? It means they would go from hell to the lake of fire. Why?

The thing is, the love, mercy and justice of our changeless or immutable heavenly Father is far, far beyond our human understanding. Even in hell, people would have an opportunity to make an eternally binding decision to totally and completely reject God and his eternal plan and purpose. This decision, in all fairness, has to be made "consciously" and "wholeheartedly". True justice demands this. And many times, the confusion and turmoil of the very short life on Earth does not afford people the opportunity to make this decision. In all fairness, they must be afforded this opportunity. We are talking about souls that cannot be admitted into "heaven" - they have not met the requirements but at the same time, they have not fully and wholeheartedly rejected God - consciously or knowingly.

This is where "hell" comes in. It's a temporary holding place. If the soul repents completely and wholeheartedly submits to the Father's eternal plan, purpose and love, he (or she) gains the right to "ascend" to the celestial abodes of glory (a.k.a. heaven). If the soul refuses to wholeheartedly embrace the divine love and to fall in line with God's eternal plan and purpose, then there's nothing else Deity can do for such a soul. His/her final destination becomes "the lake of fire", which is "the second death" (Revelation 20:14).

"The lake of fire" is a coded term for annihilation or cessation of being. The individual will cease to exist. That's it. To God and to righteous spirits, cessation of being is a most painful thing - beyond what human words can describe. To them, it is synonymous with being cast into a lake of fire, world without end. The lake of fire is cessation of being. The soul has consciously and wholeheartedly decided not to be a part of God's eternal adventure. He (or she) would be let go!

Yes, Jesus Christ said in hell, the worms do not die and the fire is not quenched (Mark 9:48). But he never said the soul would be there eternally. After the first death (physical body death), if the soul lands in hell, he/she would continue his/her existence there. If that soul totally and completely refuses to be salvaged, he/she would experience death. This is the second death - the death of the soul. This means, "death and hell" for that particular individual is cast into "the lake of fire". This is the final judgment. There is no resurrection whatsoever for the individual at this stage. There is no resurrection from the second death.

The first death is death of the mortal flesh. But the soul continues to exist. The second death is death of the soul. With regards to "the spirit", it is with God - the spirit returns to God after the first death. At the second death, "the personality" returns to God. The soul disintegrates into nothingness. Anything of eternal value from the life experiences of the individual is preserved in "the spirit".

It is very important for us to understand that many times, symbols are used by the heavenly realms to communicate information to us, who live in the earthly realm. In your dream experiences, you may be shown "hell fire". This does not mean in literal terms there is a physical fire with people burning in it. The fire, the worms, etc that you may see are symbolic. You may even see angels interacting with the souls there. And the "interaction" may appear to your mortal mind as "torture". In actuality, the angels are ministering to the souls, seeking to assist them to evolve. What you see as "torture from angels" is symbolic. The soul is being provided opportunities to face what is holding him/her back from wholeheartedly embracing the divine love and the divine way. The weights and chains keeping him down in the pits of hell have to be broken to allow him ascend to heaven. It's not a walk in the park. There's conflict. There's pain. There's sorrow. It is what it is. But one day, a final choice will be made... 

No one will be in great pains and sorrows forever and ever in some hell. Being in hell eternally serves no value to anyone. It adds nothing to our heavenly Father's eternal plan and purpose. Nothing. It benefits no one. It adds nothing to the Father's eternal Kingdom. Plain and simple. The unfathomable love of the Father of fathers will go at any length to salvage or save his child. But that which love cannot save does not exist forever. Justice will terminate it. Some people do not understand these things, in part, because they have a very, very limited and a very, very faulty viewpoint of the concept of the soul. May the eyes of our understanding be enlightened. Amen.

Now may the will of God, our heavenly Father, the Father of spirits, be done by you! 👉🕴👈

I greet you!
