Matthew 24v40 - ... when the Son of Man comes. At that time two men will be working in a field: one will be taken away, the other will be left behind. Two women will be at a mill grinding meal: one will be taken away, the other will be left behind. Be on your guard then because you do not know what day your Lord will come.
Luke 24v34 - On that night, I tell you, there will be two people sleeping in the same bed: one will be taken away, the other will be left behind. Two women will be grinding corn together: one will be taken away, the other will be left behind.
It is in the Bible and cannot be ignored.
Bluejasn dare i say to your words the Jewish people do not believe in the afterlife; the Tribe of Israel is the afterlife. Gentiles are loved by God through adoption.
********************************
"......Evil is the great illusion-creation of all mankind. Religious thought of all ages has
seldom offered more than a stumbling solution to this enigma, for nearly all religions offer a kindly and loving God who yet has created evil and is tempting man with it. Now, it is
obvious that there is nothing kindly or loving about a God who visits disease and pain and
poverty and suffering upon his children, any more than there is anything beneficent about
a diety who creates evil so that he can burn in hell those he manages to temp with it. The
very plain fact is manifest. 'If God is a God of love, He did not create evil and hell!'
And so with the entire hideous conception of the devil and hell. If God created the devil
and hell, He would have to know that He was going to send some of His children there,
and it even follows that He would have a pretty good idea who they would be. So that
would give us a God who created the temptation, who created persons unable to resist
it, and who precondemned them to an eternal residence in the furnaces of Satan and hell.
It is ridiculous, of course, yet the extremely important point is this: as far as man's
earthly life is concerned, if he believes in hell and the devil, he suffers all the tortures
they offer each time he falls from what his own mind and belief system considers to be
grace.
All these things man creates into reality in his life on Earth, evil, poverty, hell and the
devil, but God has nothing to do with them!
Now we must understand what God is. God is obviously all wisdom and all knowledge.
Since He knows everything, He never has any problems. There are never any questions
to answer, nor goals to achieve; there is never knowledge to be gained, nor experience
to be had. Every movement to God is automatically creation. Somehow mankind has
insisted upon devising a God with a whole set of moral attributes, but since moral
implies conflict with immoral, God could not possibly be either. He could not possibly be
put in the position of wrestling, Himself, with good and evil and creating that which for
the moment gained the upper hand. It has to be understood that God only creates, and He
creates without the knowledge of good and evil. It has to be understood that each
being creates through thought. Morally, the world-conscious human being knows right
and wrong and good and evil, therefore he creates them. He creates them by his own
thought and belief systems. He. We. All of us. Not God!
For the act of creation in this life is accomplished by the Conscious Mind acting on the
Subconscious mind, and the Universal Subconscious Mind is the mind of God.
Mankind will never be able to accept an all-loving and just God who created evil. Mankind
has never been able to reconcile such a God with the patent fact disease and suffering
fall like rain on the just and unjust. The thinking mind is emotionally torn to bits even
dwelling on such an idea. But we need not think of it any further, for it can be proven
that suffering and evil of every kind are created by man and man alone.
