Hi Revilonivek:
Here are some email questions and replies from Ray that may help your understanding.

http://www.forums.bible-truths.com/index.php/topic,3572.0.htmlIn what way you think that Hitler will be SEVERELY CHASTISED, a short time in fire or another form of punishment? Because if you think he will be, you must know some kind of punishment. I been reading your writings for a while and I notice that you don't said what doctrine you really follow the apocatastasis doctrine?
People like Hitler will be for their evil ways.
Victor
Dear Victor:
Hitler, Saddam and his sons, and people like John Hagee and Dr. Kennedy who gloat over billions being tortured for all eternity, and many more just like them, will be Judged in the VERY SAME WAY THAT THEY JUDGED OTHERS (Matt. 7:1-2). Their OWN SINS, will "TORMENT them" beyond comprehension, "in the PRESENCE of the Lamb" (Rev. 14:10), when God purges their evil consciences with His spiritual "CONSUMING FIRE" (Heb. 12:29).
God be with you,
Ray

A person rapes and murders a child. He is standing before the white throne, and God _______________________________________________________ !
God Bless You ... never mind He already has
Paul
Dear Paul:
Of course there WILL BE "hell to pay" for the raptist! There will, indeed be, "MANY STRIPES" beaten upon the wicked ("It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God" Heb. 10:31). But it will not last for all eternity, and it will produce a desired and righteous destiny. The unscriptural christian hell supposeldy lasts for eternity and produces not one iota of redeaming value.
God be with you,
Ray

The Scriptures speak many times about a furnace of fire melting, purifying, and burning off the unwanted dross when refining such metals as silver and gold. In I Cor. 3:12-12 Pauls gives us this same analogy of purifying gold, silver, or precious stones, while burning off the dross of wood, straw, and stubble. But Paul is clearly speaking of PEOPLE'S WORKS being tried and purified in this fire. The result of ALL that go through this purifying fire of God is that THEY ARE ALL SAVED! "If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself SHALL BE SAVED, yet so as BY FIRE." There is the wonderful good news about the outcome of God's divine judgments.
And so Jesus also alluded to this endtime judgment of the lake of fire when everyman's work would be tried in the lake of fire (or furnace of fire). And we know just what the fire is, because it purifies as brimstone, which is DIVINE! God HIMSELF IS a "consuming fire" (Heb. 12:29). God even prophesied of this purifying fire of judgment back in the book of Malachi. I don't have the time to prove to you from the Bible that "Levi" is representative of ALL HUMANITY, but with that in mind, let's read Malachi 32-3, "But who may abide the day of His coming? and sho shall stand when He appears? for He is like a REFINER'S FIRE, and like fullers' sope: and He shall sit as a REFINER AND PURIFIER [need I even comment that we do not torture or punish silver and gold in a furnace?] of silver: and He shall purify THE SONS OF LEVI, and purge them AS gold and silver, [why? for the fun of torturing them for all eternity? No, read on...] that they may offer unto the Lord an OFFERING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS!
The fires of God's spiritual furnace will PURGE AND PURIFY all mankind. We read of it EVERYWHERE in His Word:
"...For when thy [God's] JUDGMENTS are in the earth, the INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD will learn RIGHTEOUSNESS" (Isa. 26:9).
Sincerely,
Ray

Well first of all let me say, I hope that I will not find myself BEING JUDGED in the new world. Judgment is upon the house of God NOW (I Pet. 4:17). As far as what happens in Judgment, please read my series on "The Lake of Fire." I cannot condense 600 pages down to an email, and besides, the series is not finished yet. Hope you understand.
God be with you,
Ray
