Believe in Jesus Christ with faith alone and be saved. Thus all people on Earth will be saved by having faith alone in Christ Jesus and all will go to Heaven.

Genesis 18:17-18 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him



Oldest known person has died today

Hello my friends. I was reading the news with a family member and saw an article about how the oldest known person has just died today. What was there age? It was 118 years old!

118 years old woman dies at DuckDuckGo

World's oldest known person Lucile Randon dies at 118 in France (usatoday.com)

I’ve also posted those links on my news section, where I put together a compilation of all the news articles that I’ve read and found interesting enough to share for you on a page together.



I wanted to comment on this one specifically though because it directly lines up with scripture, where it says

Gen. 6:3 Then the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years

Forever would be “olam” in Hebrew meaning pertaining to an age.

Where the first line directly proves Universal Salvation is true! Why? Because we are in the age of flesh, and sin limits our lifespans to be up to 120 years.



When there were less sin, our genetics were less tainted by sin, we were less genetically mutated for the negative. Look at how long Adam and his family lived!

Genesis 5:5 So Adam lived a total of 930 years, and then he died.

That’s long enough to witness the rise and fall of nations, to see the entire Industrial Revolution to now! That’s incredible. Lol, with that much time, imagine how hard it would be to get an entry level position for a job XD

But it shows that there’s more than just this temporary life. If ECT and Annihilationism is true, how come Adam gets to live 810 years longer than the rest of us? Where’s the equality in that. Christ makes us all equal because we will all have faith alone in Jesus Christ and be saved, this is true.

Gen. 12:3 "All peoples on earth will be blessed through you."



People argue “How can God be good if the Earth has so much suffering”, but this suffering was caused by us, God is the author of good. How merciful God is that we only have to suffer such a short time, since a 1000 years is like a day to the Lord. Imagine how happy it will be in Heaven with everyone when we spend a day with God and already we had 1000 years of happiness.

( 120 / 1 000 ) * 100 = 12%

But what about a week with the Lord?

[ 120 / (1 000 * 7) ] * 100 = 0.01714285%

Just within a week, our suffering on Earth will only account for 0.01% of our life! And that happiness, that lifespan, will be permanent, going outwards to infinity, because when you believe in Jesus Christ with faith alone, you are permanently saved. And thus everyone will become believers in Christ Jesus with faith only and be permanently saved. And all people will be in Heaven! Amen!

Psalm 100:5 For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues to all generations.

James 2

1 My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism. 2 Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in filthy old clothes also comes in. 3 If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, “Here’s a good seat for you,” but say to the poor man, “You stand there” or “Sit on the floor by my feet,” 4 have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?

5 Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him? 6 But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? 7 Are they not the ones who are blaspheming the noble name of him to whom you belong?

8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,”[a] you are doing right. 9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. 11 For he who said, “You shall not commit adultery,”[b] also said, “You shall not murder.”[c] If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.
12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, 13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

Faith and Deeds​

14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”
Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
20 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless[d]? 21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.

23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,”[e] and he was called God’s friend. 24 You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.
25 In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? 26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
