Part 11 – What It Means To Prepare for the 2nd Coming of Our Lord & Savior, Jesus
If anyone encounters allegedly wise theologians who believe souls are immortal and thus, will not die, clarify to them with Words of God.
Ezekiel 18:20 New King James Version (NKJV)
“20 The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.”
The argument begins when people mention that all men and women are sinners. Therefore, how can anybody’s soul live? Reference is given coming from St. Paul’s inspired teachings about justifications by Faith. To further elaborate about God’s Will to punish souls who sin with death, people ought to be reminded of God’s attributes. One of those attributes is His Being ALL Knowing. God cannot be fooled. (Galatians 6:7)
Another attribute is His Being EVERYWHERE. Who can hide secrets from Almighty Father ?
Jeremiah 17:10-11 ESV
“I the Lord search the heart
and test the mind,
to give every man according to his ways,
according to the fruit of his deeds.”
11 Like the partridge that gathers a brood that she did not hatch, so is he who gets riches but not by justice;
in the midst of his days they will leave him,
and at his end he will be a fool.”
God knows who among the people are seriously striving to uphold His Commandments deep inside. While it is true that Man cannot perfectly obey God’s Laws throughout a lifetime, just like Jesus did, He searches the heart and tests the mind.
Psalm 34: 21-22
“21 Evil will slay the wicked, and the haters of the righteous will be condemned. 22 The LORD redeems His servants, and none who take refuge in Him will be condemned.”
Proverbs 9:10 American Standard Version (ASV)
“10 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom;
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”
Turn away from wicked ways and repent while there is time and life left. It is the only hope for salvation through Faith in God through Jesus Christ. If you know of persistent grievous sinners, it will be your responsibility to forewarn them about the death of their souls, just as I have done my part.
Ezekiel 33:7-9 New King James Version (NKJV)
“7 “So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and warn them for Me. 8 When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you shall surely die!’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. 9 Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.”
