Col 1:20 which supposedly says all things on earth will be reconciled, righteous and unrighteous alike, no matter what. But 2 vss. later vs. 23, Paul says there are conditions
Col 1:23
(23)IF ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
The condition is IF you continue in the faith etc. The converse of vs. 23 “if you do NOT continue in your faith NOT grounded and NOT settled, and ARE moved away from the hope of the gospel, you will NOT be reconciled [vs. 20][/color]
Let us read more from Paul about UR.
● 1Co 6:9-10
(9) Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neitherfornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
(10) Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
● Gal 5:19-21
(19) Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
(20) Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
(21) Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall NOT inherit the kingdom of God.
● Eph 5:3-5
(3) But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
(4) Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
(5) For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
In three different epistles [books] Paul lists many people who do not have any inheritance in the kingdom of heaven. Please show a verse or more where Paul says “Oops I made a mistake, all these people will be reconciled even if they were sinful and unrighteous when they died.
Here are more verses which states conditions for salvation.
Rom_8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
1Co 15:2
(2) By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
Luk 10:13-15
(13) Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
(14) But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
(15) And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.
Luk 17:1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
Luk 17:2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
A fate worse than death, no salvation
Luk 20:46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
Luk 20:47 Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
Greater damnation, not salvation.
Now for you proof text, Luk 3:6
Luk 3:4-6
(4) As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
(5) Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
(6) And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
In these vss. Luke is quoting Isaiah 40:4-5 but Luke misquoted the word salvation for glory.
Isa 40:4-5
(4) Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
(5) and the glory [כבוד /kabod] ]of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
What or who is the salvation that Paul said all flesh would see? c.f. Luk 2:30.
Luk 2:27-30
(27) And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
(28) Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
(29) Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
(30) For mine eyes have seen thy salvation[ ישועה/yeshuah] pronounced the same as Yeshua/ישוע Jesus’ name in Hebrew.
Now let us review your proof text Rev 22:17.
Rev 22:17
(17) And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Is this an open invitation for all mankind righteous and unrighteous alike or are there certain people who shall in no wise enter as stated in Rev 21:27? What does “in no wise enter” mean in UR land? Does that somehow mean everybody can enter?
Rev 21:27
(27) And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Rev 22:11
(11) He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
In Rev 22:11 God already abandoned the unjust and the filthy and there is no verse which says they were permitted to enter the city at some time.
Now let us review your proof text Rev 22:17 again.
Rev 22:17
(17) And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Is this an open invitation for all mankind, saint, sinner, righteous, unrighteous to enter? Let’s read the context of this verse.
Rev 22:14-15
(14) Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
(15) For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
[Proof text vs. 17 omitted]
Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and
from the things which are written in this book.
Those who do not do God’s commandments do NOT have the right to the tree of light and may NOT enter through the gates into the city vs. 14,
If you disagree please explain to me how dead people can do the commandments of God? Also please explain how those whose names were not in the Lamb’s book of life when they died, somehow, get their name in the book of life? Rev 21:27 says only “they which are written in the Lamb's book of life” can enter the city.
Vs. 19 clearly for those who do certain things God, Himself, will “take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city.” End of the book nothing follows, no reconciliation
