Today, topics include condemnation, judgment, relationship as children of GOD, and the righteousness of divinity. Beasts of the field, the forest, the jungles, and even the heaven all have existence and life, yet, can not become heirs and offspring of GOD. Through divine grace, love, ownership, prerogative, sacrifice, and sovereignty, a man can be embraced and have standing as a child of the Creator. Only thereby does their commitment, lifestyle, obedience, reverence, and suffering appear as aspects of the “new creation.” The blood of Jesus Christ from the cross establishes adoption through the Holy Spirit, atonement, new birth, covenant, priesthood, resurrection from death as well as eternal life.

It makes absolutely no sense for God to burn his children for eternity and claim to love them?
I have no idea why someone would believe something so absurd, nor why it this sickening story keeps getting passed down.
THE GOLDEN ARROW: Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. (Galatians 4: 1-7, King James Version, KJV)

“Purse. ©;”, many have not been careful to study the holy writings or fellowship with those having an authentic relationship with GOD through Jesus Christ. Here are some ideas shared among mature Christian believers you may not have heard before. While every created being and living creature upon the earth has been brought into multiple relationships with the Creator by the sacred devices of covenant agreement, divine law, promises, and judgment that determines their duration (i.e., longevity, mortality, immortality), everything that exists is not to be acknowledged as a child or offspring of GOD. As surely as dead bodies (we say, cadavers, corpses) exist and are without life essence (we say, breath, spirit, word), there are many among the living who are not “in the image of God,” who are not sanctified (dedicated and set apart for service to divinity; marked by the active presence of divinity within ones character, makeup, and spirit substance), and who do not have eternal life. For those honoring the Creator by their exclusive devotion, divine judgment is always a blessing (we say, benefit, gift), for peace is an outcome of judgment only, not of warfare. Judgment sees the resolution of conflict and the settlement of disputes through the application of sacred law, and acknowledging the righteousness of Deity. Be they men or angels, those that do not bear the imprint of the Creator are not to be preserved as life companions to divinity, for they become and remain the slaves to the operations of sin that may dominate awareness and self-will in the living. Sin generates and promotes death, destruction, and nonexistence. Consider again how this is stated using language from the Bible that speaks of the Father and Christ, the Son:
(1.) Romans 8: 5-9, King James Version (KJV): 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
(2.) Romans 8: 13-18, KJV: 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
(3.) 1st John 3: 1-6, KJV: 1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
There is far more to be said, carefully examined, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, (4.) 1st John 4: 10-13, KJV: 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
