Nothing in the verses you quoted from 1Th, 1Cor, Mal, or Revelation have anything to do with me or you, as far as our Hope, Calling, or future is concerned. I was saved, eternally, when I believed Paul's Gospel of Salvation in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4None if this says we have eternal life now because we don't. We are still mortal beings until Jesus returns and we change in the twinkling of an eye. That is when we'll get eternal life if we are saved. 1 Corinthians 15:52-53, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. Have we put on immortality now? The answer is resounding NO!
Yes people will be lost to God eternally that is what the Bible says. Do you not read the Bible? Its not something God wants and He has done everything He possibly can to save us but ultimately its all up to us if we follow Him or not. In order for sin to come to an end once and for all, this world as it is will end along with the Satan who started sin and all those who chose to follow Him. Those who rejected God's word will die eternally. Why are you fighting this clear message of the Bible?
People backslide, they change their minds about God, unless they go back to God their names will be blotted out of the book of life. If they die in their sins they are lost eternally. 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10, and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.
There is no purification for any sinners after Jesus returns and that is not biblical. People are not going to get a chance to change after Jesus returns. Jesus will have given them every chance in this world before. You are implying that all people of all generations are going to be saved or get a chance to be saved after Jesus' returns. In fact the Bible tells us in Revelation 20:7-9 that neither Satan nor his followees will change . The attack God's people in the city of New Jerusalem which came out of heaven. They hate God and His people and after they are raised from the dead after the 1000 years, they have not changed one bit. They set out to destroy the city but God destroys them when fire comes down from heaven and devours them all. This is the second death.
If they are not saved before Jesus returns, it will be too late. “For behold, the day is coming, Burning like an oven, And all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble. And the day which is coming shall burn them up,” Says the LORD of hosts, “That will leave them neither root nor branch... You shall trample the wicked, For they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet On the day that I do this,” Says the LORD of hosts (Malachi 4:1,3). In Malachi, the root is Satan and the branches are his followers. Those who have rejected God will be burnt to ashes and the fire will consume them until they are no more. Satan and his host will be destroyed, and the great controversy will finally end. The source of the pain and sadness this world has known for more than six millennia will be over, and the peace and happiness that God intended for His creation in Eden will be realized. The redeemed ones will finally be able to pick up where Adam and Eve left off, and thus begin an entirely new and wonderful story—a story “which goes on forever; in which every chapter is better than the one before.”
When Jesus comes back, He will return with rewards for everyone. Revelation 22:12, And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. He will reward those who have been obedient and He will punish the disobedient—those who have chosen to follow Satan's methods. The decision of who is saved or not saved will precede the coming of Christ. The reward for those who choose God's way is eternal life, and those people will be resurrected at the first resurrection at the Second Coming.
Read Revelation 20 and you will see that what I am telling you is nothing but the truth not what you've concocted or been indoctrinated with. I follow the Bible not doctrine nor have I been indoctrinated as I am merely telling you the message of the Bible. Its up to you who you choose to believe, God and His word or yourself and sadly what you've clearly been indoctrinated with. You sound like a Jehovah's witness too. I've said enough on this topic with you. like I've said to you before, I'll stick to the word of God. I pray that the Holy Spirit impresses on you the truth of this subject.
Eph 1:13
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation (in 1Cor 15:1-4) in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Your problem is that you get all your information from those 59 books that are all-Israel, but there is nothing in them that is TO and ABOUT us Gentiles today, in this 2000 year parenthetical Gentile period we're living in. The only books that are TO and ABOUT us today, and sbout our future, are those 7 epistles written after Acts by the Gentile's ONLY apostle, Paul. These are Eph, Phil, Col, 1&2Tim, Titus, Philemon. Those other 59, all-Israel books, are FOR our knowledge and walk and many other good things, but you'll NEVER find nothing in them about your Hope, Calling, or your future - NOTHING!!!.
Also, nothing I can think of in those 59 all-Israel books, that were given to Israel, except Christ, were EVER given to us Gentiles today. I'm talking about things like, the Rapture, the Gifts, the New Jerusalem, the Acts Church, the Lord's Supper, the Great Commission - I could fill a page or two. You are a thief if you claim them. You'll never get them anyhow, because they were never given to you. Search and See! The things given to you are found only in Paul's 7 After-Acts books. These gifts are infinitely better than anything ever given to Israel. Everyone in the world has been Called to this new dispensation, the #1 crowning glory of Christ, found only in those 7 last books of Paul. But, as in every Calling Many are Called, but Few are Chosen.
