God’s, correct, perspective, that is have eternal life (Gen 45:7-9, Deut 13:3, 27:26,
30:1, 2 Sam 14:14, 1 Kings 8:39-40, Job 23:6-17, 34:11, Psalm 22:24, 26, 25:8,
26:2, 66:10-12, 84:11, 116:13, 139:6, 145:9, Prov 3:11, Eccl 7:8, 8:11-14, 9:11,
Isaiah 49:10, 57:1, Jer 17:10, 24:5, Ezek 14:22-23, 18:25, 33:10-11, Mat 5:3-12,
Rom 8:28, 1 Cor 1:5, Jam 4:9). Especially as, eventually, and for some, not until
after the second Heaven and Earth commence (Rev 20:15), all are saved (Psalm
22:27, 119:91, Isaiah 45:23, Ezek 18:4, Hos 2: 23, Mat 16:17, Rom 11:32, 14:11, 1
Cor 2:11, 3:16, 4:5, 12:3, 2 Cor 6:6, Phil 2:10-11, 1 Tim 2:4, 1 John 4:15). The
saving confession of Christ as Lord under the influence of the Holy Ghost (1 Cor
12:3, Phil 2:11) is not the same action as the false, insincere or self-deceived
salutation of 'Lord' directed at Christ (Mat 7:21-23, ref 'never', Luke 6:46). The
former represents Christian status (1 Cor 12:3, Phil 2:11) whilst the latter does not
(Mat 7:21-23). God only glories in the true, unforced, free-will (Gen 2:16),
confession given by the Holy Ghost which is the Christian status (Rom 15:6, 9, 2
Cor 3:18, 4:13-15, Phil 1:11, 2:11, 2 Pet 1:3).
Some receive the sentence and judgement of eternal torment but this is rescinded
when they eventually repent and are saved (Isaiah 66:24, 1 Cor 12:3, Phil 2:10-11,
Rev 14:10-11, 20:15). Each person is blessed or afflicted under their own
imperative under the prime principle (Ezek 18:20). The prime principle is the
Godly imperative under which ultimately all souls (1 Cor 12:3, Rom 14:11, Phil
2:10) are saved (Ezek 18:25-32). It is the process by which God expunges from
the hearts of his creations their desire to be God (Gen 2:17, 3:4-5, 22, Ezek 28:2, 6,
33:11, Rom 10:4).
Any and all suffering is worth it and a necessary requirement for personal salvation
(Psalm 34:10, 18, 19, 60:3-5) given this process of Salvation. This is achieved by
becoming and remaining a Christian (Ezek 18:31-32, 33:17-19, Rom 8:28, Jam
4:9, 1 Pet 1:6 ‘if need be’, 1 Pet 3:14, 4:1, 4:12-14, 16-17, 19), if necessary after
death for those eligible, either for the unpleasant exposure to the gospel in ‘prison’
or the pleasant exposure in Heaven (Luke 16:22-31), because they have never have
heard the gospel to Christ’s satisfaction (1 Pet 3:19, 4:6). Unmeritted, by the
recipient, blessing is another way God interacts with a person to try and interest
them in their Salvation, whatever is most likely to succeed (Job 12:6), and God
sometimes finds blessing a more likely route than suffering; the whole process of
suffering and blessing being, overall, an equal test for salvation that all can pass if
they want to (Job 12:6, Psalm 92:7, Eccl 5:19-20, 8:12-14, 9:2-3, 11, Rom 8:28).
Individually specific suffering, including death, is an expression of the will and
purpose of God that men be saved (Psalm 44:21-22, Isaiah 48:10, Ezek 18:23).
This principle requires that no suffering should be ‘pointless’ or without moral
