That is correct then,Death and Hell give up the dead that were in them (don't hold them back!), so yes I believe so....
That is correct then,
Matthew 25:31-32
(31) When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
(32) And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
...
Matthew 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
....
Matthew 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Life is tough. Then I die and go to hell where God punishes me. And then He calls me up just to tell me that since I didn't accept Jesus He'll be killing me a second time and torturing me in eternal hellfire.
Or....
Life is tough, a living hell of darkness and confusion, dead to life's purpose. Then I die and God calls me up, humbling me by revealing who He is and His love for me beyond measure. I'm now a new man, reborn in Christ, cleansed of my sin and confessing God.
Personally, I believe the Spirit and the Bible teach the latter afterlife - reconciliation, restoration, regeneration, call it what you will. I happen to like good news. So I praise the Lord and rejoice, for He is the God of second chances, the good shepherd, the great physician, the suffering servant, a mighty fortress.
You might prefer the other path. Up to you brother, judge rightly.

I have judged rightly and will continue to do so. I love the "Good News" but it ain't pie in the sky by and by for everyone.

The love & grace of Father has an expiration date?
It's only mortals who want to make a person's acceptance of the gift a precondition to God's loving them.
God loves us whether we accept it or not. But He hates those evil things that keep us from Him.
For He is good, and changeth not.
There are some peculiar ideas of goodness out there, I must say.
It NEVER ceases, NEVER!
If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself. (2 Tim 2:13)
If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself. (2 Tim 2:13)
I am still waiting for that one verse where God, Himself, or Jesus, Himself, clearly states that all mankind will be saved, no matter what.
<FineLinen>Dear D.A.: The Lord Jesus Christ can undo apollumi in a few remnant pieces of fish and bread, butbegin
Since God created the world and everything in it He certainly can save everyone in the world, if He chooses to.
<FineLinen>Dear D.A.: The Lord Jesus Christ can undo apollumi in a few remnant pieces of fish and bread, but
alas, must fail in His mission to break apollumi on the vast segments of broken lost sinners for whom He has come as the Last Adam.
Some of us transformed by His Design<fl>
Since God created the world and everything in it He certainly can save everyone in the world, if He chooses to.
But I have not seen even one verse spoken by God, Himself, or Jesus, Himself that says He will save all mankind, no matter what.
In Matthew 25:46 when Jesus said "and these shall go away into eternal punishment but the righteous into life eternal" why didn't He say instead "Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom [which was also] prepared for you from the foundation of the world?"
