I'm not really sure where your getting all your theology from in that statement.
First, God
PROMISED Adam in the day he ate he would die.
We know that is not a physical death... since he lived on,
and we know it was a spiritual death because of passages
like Ephesians 2:1-9 (and many others)
The only biblical thing I guess is "eternal hell", but the English and Latin translations for those two words can be argued against.
Are you serious?
Does this help any?
Mat 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
I guess the "elected some" has something to do with Revelations,
Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Eph 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Rom 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Rom 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
Rom 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
Mat_24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
Mat_24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Mat_24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
I am not aware of any verse in Revelation that meantions
the word "elect" however there are several passages that
talk about the
Final Harvest in Revelation, as well as in
Matt 25:10 and ALL those passages are talking about
the LAST SAINTS (last "elect") on earth.
You can do a word search for "elect" and find maybe
two dozen passages talking about SAVED MEN and no others.
but elsewhere it is mentioned that every knee will bow to Jesus, "all in all", "nothing can separate us from the love of God", and things like that.
Of course, you cannot HOPE to understand the MEANING
of such a passage if you cannot discern the CONTEXT
of the word "
us" that cannot be separated from
the love of God.
The Bible separates all (NT) men into three (3) groups:
(1) The saved "
wheat/sheep" in the church, sown by God
and destined to eternal life.
(2) the unsaved "
tares/goats" in the church sown by Satan
and (as "children of Satan") destined to the SAME ETERNAL FIRE
prepared for Satan and his demons [Mat 25:41]
(3) all the lost souls
OUTSIDE of the church like Jews and
Moslems, Buddhists, Hindus, Atheists, Agnostics, Humanists,
Pagans, Satanists, etc
The CONTEXT of the word "
us" you mention above includes
group (#1) and ONLY group (#1).
