Ray,
If you recall, I am the filmmaker that's going to incorporate the true
scripture into mainstream films. I understand you are very busy, so
I'll only ask for clarification on certain points that are relevant to
the audiences understanding.
You wrote:
Goodness, righteousness, virtue, character, and love AND INANIMATE things cannot be created as a rock, or water, or a star, etc. By the very nature of goodness, virtue, etc., it requires TIME AND CIRCUMSTANCE to develop (or create, if you will) these things. And so God CREATES all that is needed to develop these virtuous traits of character and love.
How are these qualities applied to those who have died before acquireing them, such as small children or the mentally ill?
Thank you for your time,
Matt
Dear Matt:
There are only two resurrection to immortality.
The first is for the chosen elect overcomes explained in part in (I Cor. 15).
All others--children, criminals, mentally challenged, the many called but not chosen, etc.
In the case with children we are told: "There shall be no more thence
an infant of days, nor an old man that has not filled his days: for the
child shall die [spiritually die to his carnal mind purged through judgment] an hundred years old; but the sinner being an an hundred years old [and not yet purged of his carnal mind through judgment] shall be accursed [until he IS thoroughly purged]" (Isa. 65:20).
God's judgments are both light and harsh. (See Luke 12:45).
Many will freely enter God's judgments and will then enter into God's realm sooner. The harden criminals will have to be "THROWN into this fiery judgment of the carnal mind and human will which hates the ways of
God. (See Rev. 20:15).
Sorry, but this is a huge subject requiring hundreds of pages to cover the details.
God be with you,
Ray
