True Love

Job 29:13 - “...I made the widow’s heart sing for joy."

Jeremiah 31:3 - "I have loved you with an everlasting love,
therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn you."

Zephaniah 3:17- "The Lord your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.”

Psalm 30:5 - "..joy cometh in the morning.."

Isaiah 11:7 - "The cow and the bear shall graze;
Their young ones shall lie down together;
And the lion shall eat straw like the ox."

John 14:2 - "...I go to prepare a place for you... so that where I am, there you may be also." (..I go to be crucified.. so that where I am, there you may be also.) I.e. "God is love" 1 John 4:8 - God is Life, and is perfect, and Perfection makes no mistakes, the 'end' result of this unavoidable journey and lesson called 'life', can only be the Best One Possible.

The Perfection of God

"God is love" [1 Jn 4:8] All the love. The love you and I have for family.. for friends.. That's him! All him.
- He is Perfection.
- Perfection makes no mistakes.

Just What Is Hell, Besides a Mistranslation Which Should Read Death?

'Hell' was created, as 'hell' is commonly understood to be, very early on, but not by God! As a place of torment it has been a part of ancient Pagan (non-Hebrew) beliefs and reached its epiphany in Greece. But Israel acquainted "hellfire" with fiery (national) judgment. And Sheol, of course, the place of the dead, was the grave and the dust of - Isaiah 14:11; Genesis 3:19 (Philippians 2:10).
- "Hell" is being without God. But that can't happen! God is Life. Every little drop of Life is God - Genesis 1:1 - so to be without God is to not be. Period. "And the last thing to be vanquished is death" - 1 Corinthians 15:26. (The opposite of Life, is non-life.)
- Jude, in verse 7, said "the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.. is the example of eternal fire" - Jude 7. Is there flames and fire there now, where Sodom and Gomorrah once were? Rather it is mounds of dust and ashes. Revelation 19:3 speaks of destruction as a "smoke that rises forever and ever." It is an eternal lesson which is remembered forever and ever, and then some. The smoke (memory) of it will rise forever in our memory and psyche. We cannot walk away from God in any means or fashion, because God is both Life and Perfection. To turn from Him in any little thing is to cease to be. It's an eternal "note to self (a great gift) which says "CANNOT BE DONE".
- But this journey and lesson of hell (death) and hellfire, this narrative of God is/was unavoidable, unless God is creating an ant farm and robots. But He's not. He's of course creating the absolutely best thing possible, because He is, after all, Perfection. So the 'end' result of all this can only be Perfect. Nothing else is possible.

God Can Only Be Perfect

Jesus said things like "that your joy may be full.." and "if I be lifted up I will draw all unto me". I think we greatly under-estimate God's "great plan of salvation". After all God can only be perfect, so wouldn't the best outcome of all this be the best one possible.. Logic tells me God reaches every heart with the gospel. [Ps 22:27 "all the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will worship Him".]

Surely If There is God, He is Perfect..

It seems to me that there is very much the possibility that the 'end' result of all this (human history and all) can only be the best 'end' result possible, because God is Perfect, therefore nothing else is even possible!
