THINK ON THIS

If when people die they are instantly alive in heaven or hell as some people think 1 Peter 3:18-20 says or the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, Luke 16:19-31,  then consider what this would mean.  At death you would instantly be judged worthy of heaven or hell, you judgment day is when you die rather than at the great white throne.  The people in heaven like Abraham and Lazarus would be able to see and talk to the people suffering in hell, that is if you think the parable isn’t a parable but real.  In 1 Peter 3:18-20 people think Jesus went a preached to dead people in prison who existed during the days of Noah.  These two verses seem to “prove” to the carnal thinking unconverted people that there is instant life after death in a conscious state.  All the dead in these two scriptures have already been judged and this judgement is permanent because as Abraham told the rich man;

 “Between you and us a great gulf is fixed so that you cannot come to us nor we to you.”   Luke 16:26

Surely all of you reading this blog have relatives and friends you love that are not in Christ.  These loved ones will go to the spiritual prison of hell forever just like those people in Noah’s day and the rich man because you think they have everlasting life. You will watch them from heaven when you die in torture and agony even being able to talk with them. You are going to watch and hear your loved ones and friends scream in agony forever, won’t that be nice.  Your wife, mother, father, children that died without Christ will all be in the spiritual prison of hell forever.  You are to ignorant to understand that everlasting life is a gift only given to the saints in Christ.  Your belief gives this gift to those who are disqualified to receive it.  Your ignorance increases by your denial of the resurrections because if the dead are now permanently judged worthy of heaven or hell then there are no resurrections. You, in your lying belief remove the hope of the second resurrection from your loved ones. Your ignorance destroys the truth of GOD, the message of the gospel and you are a liar.  

Immortality or everlasting life was withheld from humanity when Adam sinned and the only hope anyone has of everlasting life is by a gift from GOD through faith in Jesus Christ.  This gift is given at the first resurrection when Christ returns.  Then 1,000 years after your unconverted loved ones will be resurrected to mortal life to have their very first opportunity to hear the truth of GOD and have the hope of salvation. You apparently would rather see them suffer in hell.  

Then there is Jesus Christ.  You also think Jesus was instantly alive after he died on the cross. If true then Christ did not die and you are yet in your sins and condemned to death.  No one can be dead and alive at the same time.  For Christ to remove the death penalty on the saints he had to die exactly in the same way the saints die.   The scriptures have many verses about life and death and they explain it out accurately and truthfully but you don’t believe them. This is because you are unconverted without the Holy Spirit. GOD isn’t communicating with you, Satan is, and you believe Satan rather than GOD.  

Well I am not going to destroy your only hope, I know that you, as ignorant as you are, will be raised in the second resurrection, after being unconscious and dead, to physical life and consciousness again.  Then you will learn the truth and be ashamed of yourself for all the lies of Satan that you believed.  You will have an opportunity to achieve what I and all the saints did 1,000 years before you, salvation. Unless GOD decides to work with you now in this time you will remain in your ignorance and have bitterness in your soul for someone like me who has told you the truth.  

All humanity is currently living in a spiritual wilderness, a spiritual prison, condemned to death and cut off from GOD because of sin. The wages of sin is death, not life.  There is no immortal soul, no instant life after death for anyone even Jesus Christ.  It is impossible for Christ to have preached to dead people from Noah’s day, but Noah preached to living people in his day who were in this same spiritual prison just as Jesus preached to living people in his day who were in a spiritual prison.  What point would there be in preaching to the dead of Noah’s day who in your mind are conscious in hell because as the parable of Lazarus and the rich man says, “they will not believe even if someone was raised from the dead.”  You, do not believe either that Jesus was raised from the dead, you think he was yet alive after dying.  

You believe in a heresy that destroys the message of the gospel.  You think yourself to be wise but it’s the wisdom of men.  You are believing in a false gospel.
