Today,
reply is that the sacred process and substance for both damnation and
salvation are conditional. It is written: Matthew 22: 2-11, King
James Version (KJV): The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain
king, which made a marriage for his son, And sent forth his servants
to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not
come. Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which
are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my
fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come
unto the marriage. But they made light of it, and went their
ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: And the remnant
took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew
them. But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth:
and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and
burned up their city. Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is
ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Go ye therefore
into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together
all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was
furnished with guests. And when the king came in to see the guests,
he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And he saith
unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding
garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants,
Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into
outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For
many are called, but few are chosen. One of the fighters in

Is
this true: Christ didn’t save
us all: he gave us the opportunity to be saved?
Is
that correct or false according to the Bible?
I
am in no way disregarding the efforts of the Son of God but we are
still able to die if we do not believe in Him. So why say he has
saved us all when he has only unlocked the door for us and it is up
to us to open it and go through it.
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into
Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried
with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up
from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk
in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the
likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his
resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him,
that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should
not serve sin. (Romans 6: 3-6, King James Version, KJV)

it is not that divinity has not granted forgiveness and a way of new
life for mankind; it is that many men do not acknowledge the acts of
GOD, do not respect divine love, and do not trust. In the same way
blessing and cursing continued to be conditional for those in
covenant with GOD who left Egypt with Moses, damnation and salvation
continue to be conditional and depend on the choices and responses
the living make to divinity. Apart from the provisions of GOD,
mankind is finite, fragile, mortal, and may not endure as a companion
of immortal, incorruptible divinity. This has been demonstrated by
the response of men to the sanctions of sacred law as well as all the
process and substance of both redemption and salvation. Sin has not
been eliminated by the death of Jesus on the cross, yet, GOD has made
it possible for mankind to recognize sin is contrary to divine and
human nature, to reject the promptings of sin, and to overcome sin
through renewed human self-will (willpower). The lives of created
beings and living creatures can be dominated and terminated through
the operations of sin. Sin promotes nonexistence and a return to the
conditions in place before the founding of heaven and earth. As a
benefit and privilege through Jesus Christ, sinners can be
transformed through a fresh endowment of the same life essence
(we say, breath; spirit; word) imparted to Adam. Even so, those
“born again” must “mature again.” They must live on the
earth as vessels of divine spirit, must display the image of GOD, and
present the likeness of Jesus Christ. Spiritual growth is to occur
through commitment, discernment, discovery, fellowship, learning,
practice, unselfish service, and suffering. Consider again the
following that uses language from the Bible, and a presentation from
the music ministry of Steve Amerson:
1.
Romans 10: 13-17, King James Version (KJV): 13 For whosoever shall
call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall
they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they
believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear
without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be
sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that
preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord,
who hath believed our report? 17 So then faith cometh by
hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
2.
2nd Thessalonians 3: 1-3, KJV: 1 Finally, brethren,
pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course,
and be glorified, even as it is with you: 2 And that
we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men
have not faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you,
and keep you from evil.
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.

Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto
you according to your faith.
