Re: This is Non-Scripture too

Many people are wreckless, selfish and greedy. They have to be TOLD (COMMANDED) not to disrespect life (and they must "OBEY" those commands).

These very same people may not always WANT to "obey", they must also be threatened with a FUTURE (afterlife) "hell".

Righteous ('heavenly') people do not have to be threatened. "Obedience and commands" become more of a technicality to them than an actual concept (I'm not sure Revelations is completely about FUTURE events).

To many people, "obedience" and "commands" are relevant, but to me, they were more relevant and meaningful when I was learning to stop being so mischeivous when I was young.

Nine years ago when I was visiting my family (an EXTREMELY dysfunctional family), I was saying to myself "Can hell be any worse than this?....hell would be a vacation compared to this". So, it was my sick sense of humor that got me to realize that I had been living in 'HELL ON EARTH' for 46 years AND I STILL had love and peace in my heart (live and let live) because I learned to "ENDURE" the "hell" produced by man without passing along my discomfort to others. Right now, my own personal "heaven" is inside my heart and mind, but I know The Lord also has my "inheritance" waiting for me.

That's a nice polite name ("dysfunctional"), but the BETRAYAL of the people who are supposed to LOVE you demoralizes you and dehumanizes you (this is HELL....demoralization/dehumanization).

I don't need to be FORCED/commanded to be peaceful and just ("OBEY" is an irrelevant technicality).


1 Corinthians 6:12
"All things are lawful for me".

Of course, everybody is ULTIMATELY accountable to God, but I am FIRST (initially) acountable to my conscience (I am a law to 'SELF')....

Romans 2:14
"When Gentiles who have not the law do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the [judicial] law"....

...I do not have the judicial law ('commandment/ordinance law'), it was abolished.....

Ephesians 2:15
"by abolishing in his flesh the law of commandments and ordinances".

I have the 'libertarian law'/grace (law of liberty, James 1:25 and 2:12).


The RESULT of my peaceful and just "live and let live" lifestyle will not be a 'CONSEQUENCE' (there will be no BAD RESULT).

Anyway, my motivation for being just and peaceful ("good and right and true", Ephesians 5:8,9) and not causing evil is that.....
................God's ways of goodness and truth are CORRECT and PROPER (and should BE right now in the present).

I am not WAITING FOR A FUTURE RESULT.

Any understanding of a FUTURE is irrelevant to me except the "inheritance" that The Lord tells us we do not yet have "possession" of.

I never heard of anything like different levels of hell (why should you care?), but the book of Enoch (there's major disagreement about it being part of first century scripture) seems to suggest different levels of heaven.....

John 14:2
"In my Father's house are many rooms".

Some people CONSTANTLY 'cause' "EVIL EVIL" (waterboarding, torture, serial killers, etc. AND also 'enjoy' doing so).

Some people only DISRUPT peaceful walks in the park (not everybody causes "EVIL EVIL", and not eveybody ENJOYS INTENTIONALLY "causing" what truly is EVIL). God doesn't care if we VIOLATE 'propriety' ("sin" against table manners, dress codes, codes of etiqutte, etc.), He cares about us not intentionally causing "EVIL EVIL", and wants us to also be careful about foolishly/carelessly DISRUPTING peace. My personal opinion is that God will decide who goes to which "rooms".
