Today,
the reply is on the lovingkindness of divinity being continually
displayed in spite of mankind existing under conditions and laws that
maintain human mortality. Just as the judgment of divinity to affirm
human existence is characterized by impartiality, righteousness and
mercy, all divine action and process displays impartiality, for
impartiality is another inseparable aspect within the full makeup of
GOD. The second death that is incurred through divine
judgment completes Creation, and is not a contradiction of sacred
love and eternal purpose. One of the fighters in the “Yahoo!

Where
was God when innocent people in New Zealand died? So much for being
all loving.?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren,
concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as
others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and
rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring
with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we
which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall
not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall
descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel,
and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together
with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall
we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these
words. (1st Thessalonians 4: 13-18, King James Version,
KJV)

among mature Christian believers, divinity is understood to exist as
inseparable spirit substance (e.g., faith, holiness, longsuffering,
lovingkindness, oneness without sameness, wisdom, wrath
against sin) that appears within the frameworks of time and space,
yet, the Godhead themselves are not carnal, material, and visible
using human flesh, except in the consecrated person of Jesus Christ.
The impartiality of GOD that appears in ongoing and final judgment
also is an aspect of divine mechanical and natural law that determine
the course of mortality for created beings and living creatures. GOD
does not impose death as an arbitrary personal act; and death can be
the outcome of human affairs, discrete choices by individuals, and
poor decision-making. Divinity should never be accused or blamed as
the cause for any specific act of death and dying, for these are
defining conditions for those living on the earth.
Diverse
forms of independence, possibility, self-government under the
dominion of GOD, and separation from the divine fullness are provided
to the living. Thereby, the living may display accountability,
lovingkindness imparted from the makeup of GOD, integrity, maturity,
personhood, quality, self-will (we also say, willpower), soundness,
value, and worth as living entities. Human potential permits the
living to express their own character, makeup and nature as animal,
human, or divine—sequentially (i.e., at
various stages of growth, during different episodes and events, or as
confusion, all at the same time).
Christian
believers are to apprehend the meaning for existence, life, rebirth,
and resurrection from the dead as aspects of sacred knowledge
rather than worldly and secular knowledge. Thus, Christians
receive comfort, healing and renewed hope from divine proclamations
and promises such as the following that use language from the Bible:
1.
Ecclesiastes 9: 10-12, King James Version (KJV): 10 Whatsoever thy
hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor
device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the
swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise,
nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of
skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. 12 For man also
knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net,
and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men
snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.
2.
Romans 8: 13-17, 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.
3.
Romans 8: 5-9, 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.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, 4. 1st Corinthians 15:
50-58, KJV: 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot
inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit
incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all
sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling
of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the
dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For
this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must
put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on
incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then
shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is
swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O
grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is
sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be
to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always
abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your
labour is not in vain in the Lord.) Even so, I trust this fragment
will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
