unfortunately the world has been full of satanists (many of them hiding behind the mask of ostensibly sacred religion) and they are the ones who have brought all that mess, while the true religious worshipers and spiritual servants have been a few another thing which is unfortunately a fact is that the One Who is really the true God has been late to save not a few people from great distress and premature death and what i can advise you is that it doesn't pay to cause evil to anybody at all (including to ourselves), because there is an eternal circle of existence, positions of and events with the souls, in which all events as well as the order and places in which they take place are always the same in every single cycle of eternity, while the souls are alternated as to the positions/personalities which are also always the same in every single cycle of eternity - only the true God knows how to resolve problems most perfectly woe to the ones who know the truth and yet continue to cause evil to their neighbor, townsman or cohabitant (and the truth is that no soul would prefer to undergo what is harmful, unpleasant or unbearable to it, especially for a long time) may the true One deliver you from evil and make you live peacefully even in this life - in Jesus' name Blessings

i thought project mkultra has been discontinued

discernment is most important once the religious worshiper has reached the point of having the true Holy Spirit, albeit (initially) in rudimentary state, they receive special gifts - e.g. some brothers could see, hear or do things (in a way) others couldn't; also, their ability to understand what is good and what is not became higher and deeper Blessings

the greatest mistake of world religions has been their omission to struggle against spiritual lawlessness we all know that if something happens, then there must be some cause of it the World and Scripture of God says spiritual lawlessness is the original and very sin, i.e. the sin of the sins, the evil of evils, the cause of the causes, the iniquity of iniquities, vanity of vanities, etc. that is why St Paul says: Ephesians 6:12 (AKJV) "we wrestle not against flesh and blood(i.e. not against human or other (be)souled beings), but against principalities(i.e. but against spiritual/religious systems), against powers(i.e. against spiritual powers), against the rulers(i.e. against the unsouled manifestations) of the darkness of this world(i.e. whose "seat" is mostly in this world), against spiritual wickedness in high places(i.e. against spiritual lawlessness, especially (but not only) against that which occurs in high places or that of a high degree)." we see people doing evil, but actually it is evil doing evil through people - and it is basically a spirit developing its spiritual system(s) so spiritual servants and religious worshipers have to struggle against evil itself which is basically unsouled and (quite) invisible to the human eyes, because humans can overcome evil only if enough of them struggle against it by practicing faith righteously 1 Corinthians 9:26 (AKJV) "I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beats the air:" how can we know whether our condition is the perfect one if evil is (quite) invisible to our eyes and (quite) insensible/imperceptible to our senses/perceptions in general?!, for example, how can we know whether our heterosexuality is perfectly clean if we don't see whether there is an unclean spirit in our sexuality?!, but if we practice the faith righteously and thus sanctify the creature/creation properly, then the problem will thus be resolved, because we don't resolve it with what doesn't resolve it anyway of course this means we should not accept, follow or support spiritual/religious theories or practices which are unrighteous (IOW, heresies); for example, if homosexuality is a mental deviation/disorder rather than something natural(normal), then we should not accept/support the belief/persuasion that homosexuality is something normal, but should rather profess that homosexuality is a mental deviation/disorder also, if spiritual servants/religious worshipers somehow serve a spirit that brings homosexuality to the world, then they are thus spiritual workers of satan who bring homosexuality to the world - a very typical example of such a betrayal is spiritual servants and religious worshipers of yoga and hinduism who serve spirits such as kundalini and the cosmic vibration "AUM" - demons that affect humans with homosexuality, transsexualism, pedophilia and other suchlike things - i am very sorry but kind of obliged to say here, i saw christians also serving such spirits (ostensibly they served the Holy Spirit, but really it was the "beast" - the satanic equivalent of the Holy Spirit, known as cosmic vibration "AUM" in indic religions) - in fact, all mental deviations and disorders (including evilness/unrighteousness as a whole) are elementarily caused by evil spirits, but they could not enter the world and affect humans if there were not spiritual/religious people committing spiritual lawlessness Romans 5:12-14 (AKJV) "by one man(also: through the generation of the unrighteous spiritual workers/servants) sin(i.e. the devil as well as the system of spiritual unrighteousness/wickedness, a.k.a. the kingdom of the evil/wicked one) entered into the world, and death(i.e. and (the spirit of) deterioration) by sin; and so death passed upon all men(i.e. and so deterioration affected many humans), for that all have sinned(i.e. because many were seized by the system of (spiritual) unrighteousness/wickedness - some as its servants, others as its victims): For until the law sin was in the world(i.e. because the "darkness" was in the universe even before the nascence of human spirituality/religiosity): but sin is not imputed when there is no law(i.e. but there is no sin where there is no spiritual unrighteousness/wickedness). Nevertheless death(i.e. deterioration) reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression(i.e. even over people that had not committed spiritual lawlessness/wickedness)" so we should repent of spiritual lawlessness as soon as possible and go to preach to others for repentance from spiritual lawlessness, because only thus we can stop evil once and for all Blessings

God doesn't punish people for not being religious/occult (in fact, no commandment of the biblical God says "you shall practice religious faith") - the divine mechanism of the eternal circle (called "God" in some biblical verses, which is actually a process of struggle between the "Light" and the "darkness") punishes souls for having caused evil to their neighbor/townsman/cohabitant - for example, if angels of satan cause evil to some person (who may not even know where the evil befalling them comes from), the soul of each of them will inevitably be that person (i.e. the victim of their wickedness) in next/future eternities(cycles of eternity) and will inevitably suffer in exactly the same way their victim suffered, because the soul of each of them will be the same person to whom they caused evil - in the course of something like constant re-projection of the same movie in which actors are alternated as to their roles (you know, one destiny for all according to the perfect justice in the vicious circle of being in one universe with indestructible "darkness" which doesn't allow there to be indefinitely lasting life in Paradise throughout the infinity of time) - from this perspective we are something like directors of the movie of our lives so the ones who cause evil to others should seriously think about whether it is really worth it - especially the ones who commit spiritual lawlessness, albeit in the form of (ostensibly) sacred religion - 'cause God cannot change what is constant (just as the law of mathematical subtraction, addition and multiplication is constant and universal) Glory be to the One Who created everything good and Who can save us all to eternal life! Blessings

where in 1 John do you see anything about resurrection?! Blessings

hasn't Christ come for and lived in the one who truly believes in Him and God the Father (quite) righteously?! - don't such people see the true Lord God as He really is?! Blessings

temptation is that aspect of "sin" and "death" by which they try to seduce or mislead someone into sinning - usually they(sin and death) act together, while sin as a transgression against the Law of the true God is an act of causing evil to the neighbor/townsman/cohabitant (either spiritually or physically, or in any other way you can think of - for example if some people worship idols, they can thus easily turn out to be some of those who bring stumbling blocks, twists, temptations/seductions, defilements and corruptions to the world and for humankind, because this is possible, first of all, through spiritual lawlessness e.g. in the form of (ostensibly) sacred religion) Blessings

the matter at hand in 1 Corinthians 5 (as well as in 6th and other chapters) is the biggest problem in the world - namely spiritual lawlessness, which is why the holy apostle says in that verse he means if any person who goes in for spiritual religious activity, or to put it another way - practices religious faith, especially deeply and systematically, and thus commits spiritual lawlessness, then it is good for other people to not get involved/participate in his or her wicked affairs - in fact, (it is unfortunately so that) it is enough for us to share life with such people to get involved/participate in their spiritual lawlessness people who are completely irreligious and non-occult are harmless in this regard, because they don't go in for spiritual/religious activities at all and thus aren't a spiritual threat to others, but people who go in for spiritual/religious activities and commit spiritual lawlessness are undoubtedly such a threat, which is why he says: 1 Corinthians 5:9-13 (AKJV) "I wrote to you in an letter not to company with fornicators: Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortionists, or with idolaters; for then must you needs go out of the world. But now I have written to you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortionist; with such an one no not to eat. For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not you judge them that are within? But them that are without God judges. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person." so it is not about avoiding eating together with such people in the literal sense of the words, but the religious worshipers have to be careful not to be influenced or affected unfavorably by people committing spiritual lawlessness, because (unfortunately) even physical contact with such people can be an enough occasion for the satanic kingdom to unfavorably affect the religious worshiper who is not careful enough to keep himself or herself from the unfavorable influence or impact coming/working through such people - i know this even from experience, there had been cases when such people managed to inflict a powerful curse on me only because i met and talked to them physically - at least once such people even managed to thus cause me physical death (in an entirely spiritual way), but the Lord(the biblical Father and Jesus) has resurrected me (i had been completely dead for a few hours that day) - of course the death of the (physical) body is less and much less harmless than spiritual death, which is why the Lord warns that we have to keep ourselves from [the ones who commit spiritual lawlessness and thus bring spiritual death to the world] (Matthew 10:28) as it is better for one society to have romeo and juliet (even though having sex may be considered immoral) than bonnie and clyde killing people, so it is better for the world to have irreligious and non-occult people, albeit considered fornicators, self-interested, materialists, idolaters, etc., than spiritual workers/religious worshipers committing great spiritual lawlessness (of course this doesn't mean that the world doesn't need true Saints to sanctify it), because spiritual fornication and adultery is much worse than what is considered to be sexual fornication/adultery by the "world" (as St Paul explains also in the next chapter - Romans 6 - namely that the human body should be a temple of the Holy Spirit, not a penetralia of the kingdom of satan and the "beast" (either in the form of idolatry, in the form of occultism or in any other form of spiritual lawlessness) - because the first commandment that God gave to man was "you should not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil", and it is possible for a person to "eat" from it only if they practice occultism(spiritual fornication), idolatry(spiritual adultery) or another suchlike spiritual/religious tradition) in the case(1 Corinthians 5) one man practiced deep occultism very much, which the Saints of the biblical scriptures call "having your Father's wife"(as in 1 Cor 5:1) or "seeing your Father's nakedness"(as in Genesis 9:22), because only the Heavenly Father(God the Father) has the right to be a system Administrator of life, while humans should not "eat" from the forbidden "tree", because their capacity doesn't allow them to thus be harmless successfully enough - only His capacity is enough for that - the difference between God's capacity and human capacity in this regard is like the difference between infinitely large and infinitely small - furthermore, the constant universal law says that there can be no more than one (true) system Administrator of life(God) in the infinite universe (at the same time) and that the One Who has already turned out to be the system Administrator of life(God) cannot be replaced by another (at least until the end of the single eternity), and also that there was never a time when the One Who was the (true) system Administrator of life was not the worthiest possible one, and that it is just not possible for any soul that is not the worthiest possible one to be the (true) system Administrator of life - for example one of the reasons for that is, as Jesus says in Luke 16:13, if there are two or more Gods, then if a person serves any of them, he or she will thus neglect the other one(s) it is a real fact that Jesus never brought or caused death to any person, including not even to greatest spiritual lawbreakers/violators/offenders, which is why we should also not be hasty to try overcoming evil with evil but hurry to resolve problems with good Blessings

in such a case your "heart" must be filled with paper or nonsense if some kind of religious faith is the only way for us to truly realize things basically insensible/imperceptible to humans, then how can Scripture(the written record of the God's Word) help us without it?! - after all, St Paul talks about faith in that verse reading His commandments/scripture is just the beginning of the path to Him we have to be careful not to be misled by devilish spirits in the process of practicing the faith; however, it seems to be unclear how?! do you think that the One Who is really the true God can speak to us only through scripture and cannot speak to us without us reading scripture?! - hardly the One Who created everything from scratch is so limited i get the impression as if you overestimate yourself do you think that 5-6 millennia ago it was His first time to create all the universal creation since beginninglessness of time?! - how is it possible that there have been countless successive millennia since beginninglessness of time and God decided to create the world only at that point (5-6 millennia ago)?! - is it really likely to turn out that He had been idle for all those countless millenniums since beginninglessness of time and before He created the world 5-6 millennia ago?! Ecclesiastes 1:9-11 (NIV) "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which one can say, “Look! This is something new”? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time. No one remembers the former generations, and even those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them.", Ecclesiastes 3:15 (NIV) "Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account." how can Saints be unrighteous?! - is it possible that righteous people are not righteous or holy people are not holy?! it's like saying that lion is not a lion or sheep are not sheep what does this prove?! just take a look at what strong's concordance says about this word: Strong's G165 - aiōn αἰών Transliteration: aiōn Pronunciation: ī-ō'n Part of Speech: masculine noun Root Word (Etymology): From the same as ἀεί (G104) meanings: - for ever, an unbroken age, perpetuity of time, eternity - the worlds, universe - period of time, age who told you that it is so?! read what dictionaries say: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/eternity an eternity - a very long time https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/eternity 1.4 (an eternity) informal A period of time that seems very long https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/eternity 2 [SINGULAR] an extremely long time https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/eternity 2. singular noun If you say that a situation lasted for an eternity, you mean that it seemed to last an extremely long time https://www.thefreedictionary.com/eternity 4. A very long or seemingly endless time 5. a seemingly endless period of time furthermore, how is it possible that a whole infinity of time has passed since beginninglessness of time and souls only now go to live in "Heaven" for all the coming infinity of time?!, IOW, is it likely to turn out that since beginninglessness of time and before God created the world 5-6 millennia ago there had never been a point in time when souls lived in "Heaven"?!, and if souls go to live in "Heaven" for all the coming infinity of time without any interruption in the future, then how does it turn out that billions of souls have been born and suffered in this world under the conditions of sin and death for the last 5-6 millennia (since the day of the Fall)?! - after all, if souls go to live in "Heaven" for all the coming infinity of time, they should not turn out to be in this world under the conditions of sin and death, but they should still be in "Heaven" Blessings

if you mean the hitherto prevailing translations of Scripture, how can we be sure that reading alone is enough to understand Scripture quite correctly?! - is there a full guarantee that people who have translated the hitherto prevailing versions of the Bible had not allowed a bunch of translational imperfections to slip in?! i am not a man prone to digging his own grave to spread heresy error is to (re-)read "shall not hurt your neighbor" dozens/hundreds of times and nevertheless to continue hurting them Blessings

Scripture is to be read no more than once, twice or thrice - after all, it is not the very living and active Word of God coming directly out of His mouth but its written record Hebrews 4:12 (NHEB) "the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.", Romans 2:28-29 (NHEB) "he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not from people, but from God.", 2 Corinthians 3:1-6 (NHEB) "Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? We do not need, as do some, letters of commendation to you or from you, do we? You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by everyone; being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh. Such confidence we have through Christ toward God; not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God; who also made us sufficient as servants of a New Covenant; not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.", Titus 3:10 (NHEB) "Reject a divisive person after a first and second warning;", Job 33:14 (NHEB) "God speaks once, yes twice, though man pays no attention.", Jude 1:12 (NHEB) "These are hidden rocky reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you, shepherds who without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;", 2 Corinthians 13:1-2 (NHEB) "This is the third time I am coming to you. "At the mouth of two or three witnesses will every word be established." I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, to those who have sinned before now, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare;", Hebrews 10:28-29 (NHEB) "Anyone who disregards the Law of Moses dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment, do you think, will he be judged worthy of, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?" this is sort of true it is a fact that the true Saints live for many consecutive eternities, which means they have a greatest reward in "Heaven" for many consecutive eternities compared to others Revelation 22:5 (BLB) "they will reign to the ages of the ages" —— (Aramaic Bible) "..... for the eternity of eternities" of course i don't say there is no interruption of life for them, albeit brief, at the beginning of the eternity(eternal cycle) - after all, God had to create all the universal creation, including not only the "earth" but also the "heaven", just before 5-6 millennia ago Blessings

even if Jesus had been in the place where souls are kept in unseen chains to preach to them for those three days, this is no reason to be proud of ourselves for having not preached the Gospel to them and not worked enough for their salvation in Him when there was a need to do it - in fact, the Lord had to do the work of many spiritual servants who had not done it (in time) - this is what i meant when i said "no other information (about the time during which His body was in the tomb) is mentioned as more important" Blessings

may the One Who is really the true Lord God take care of what we as His spiritual servants have not managed to take care of Blessings

Jesus has been resurrected by the Father after He died on calvary and was placed/laid in a tomb, and no other information (about the time during which His body was in the tomb) is mentioned as more important in the time of Noah there was an apocalypse in which the manifestation of the "darkness" and the angels of satan had been pushed out of the world and into the so-called "outer darkness" - unfortunately the effect of that apocalypse has not been complete and permanent Blessings

if you felt confused not for the better, what is the thing you found in my posts that confuses you?! i could speak uncertain and unproven things, but preferred not to do it Blessings

even the explanation for this word(h7585) in strong's concordance shows that sheol is nothing positive in and of itself: sheol, underworld, grave, hell, pit the underworld Sheol - the OT designation for the abode of the dead place of no return without praise of God wicked sent there for punishment righteous not abandoned to it of the place of exile (fig) of extreme degradation in sin the first heaven is the "heaven" of this world where we are physically now - all good (not evil) of this world comes from there - the second and the third heaven are the heavens of afterlife (since the day of the Fall righteous people who died have always been taken at least to the second heaven, however, the bodies of some of them had been held in graves by the satanic kingdom before the Lord's death on calvary (Matthew 27:50-53)), while sheol is the "pit" of loss of life, something that has nothing to do with "heavens" Blessings

"sheol" is the "pit" of loss of life, and "life" is the positive form of existence/presence (correspondingly "death" is the negative form of existence/presence), while Luke 16:19-31 speaks of Abraham and Lazarus being in positive from of existence (rather the unrighteous pharisee is seen to be in "sheol") - simply there is no life in sheol, but sheol is death Blessings

reading and literal interpretation alone cannot reveal some things to us, but faith is the thing through which all things can be revealed to us (maybe) you know that in every country there are two main categories of people - rulers and subjects, doctors and patients, people serving and people served, etc.; so is the spiritual situation in God - there are people working for overall salvation/life's provision and people receiving salvation/paradisaical life; the first ones live in the "third heaven", while others live in the "second heaven" - it is like the difference between the white house (where the president and his wife live) and an ordinary house (where one ordinary family lives) (- i don't say it is same, but it is somewhat similar, because people in the third heaven rejoice in the overall salvation/life's provision, while people in the second heaven enjoy receiving/having paradisaical life, and the third heaven is in the second one in a way similar to how the white house is located in washington/us) so, what we read in Revelation 21-22 applies to both the third and the second heaven, albeit in different ways - in fact, scripture is polysemantic, or to be more precise, as some people call it, semantically multilayered - if someone says an old datum such as "there are people for everything", will this only mean that there are employees of general motors for everything?!, or if scripture says "God is love", will this only mean that God is intimate relationship(s) between man and woman?!; so Scripture is also full of universal principles and prophetic schemes which can be applied in different circumstances accordingly (however, one thing is certain - the main subject of Scripture is overall salvation to abundant and eternal life in the One Who is really the true Lord God) anyway, the ones who live in the third heaven live for many consecutive eternities(cycles of eternity) (because they prove themselves as true saviors/servants of life in God for a long enough time - for many of them have done righteousness also in previous cycles of eternity), while the same cannot be said for others - of course i don't put any of them under a common umbrella of being completely devoid of the third heaven - let's say it can turn out that the systems of the true God are dynamically operating, not just separately and statically inherited Blessings

are you trying to say that Abraham and Lazarus were not in Paradise but in hell?! - how was it possible that the man called "Father of all righteous religious worshipers/believers and righteous people in general" had been not in Paradise but in hell for all that time from the end of his lifetime to the moment of establishment/enactment of the New Covenant?! you say only Enoch and Elijah were in Heaven, but don't you remember that Elijah and Moses appeared to Jesus and talked to Him (Luke 9:28-36)?! Blessings

not-a-few people had been taken to Paradise before the establishment/enactment of the New Covenant Luke 16:19-31 (AKJV) "There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and you are tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from there. Then he said, I pray you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house: For I have five brothers; that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will repent. And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead." "Lazarus" is a byword for poor man - according to the biblical terminology, "poor" man may be a person who is miserable, stupid/uneducated, harmless, lacking malice/evilness/unrighteousness, etc. Blessings

New Testament time is the time in which people have access to "heaven" more than ever, and people can go to "heaven" even now, it is another question what "heaven" is 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 (CSB) "I know a man in Christ who was caught up to the third heaven fourteen years ago. Whether he was in the body or out of the body, I don’t know; God knows. I know that this man — whether in the body or out of the body I don’t know; God knows — was caught up into paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a human being is not allowed to speak." a person can be in the "heaven" not only in the afterlife but also while still living in this world (as St Paul says in the above passage), because "heaven" is the system of good(ness) working in people who are good or do good; this means a person can live in "heaven" by being good and doing good regardless of whether they (physically) live (or their (physical) location is) in this world or not Revelation 12:10-12 (NET Bible) "Then I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, “The salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the ruling authority of his Christ, have now come, because the accuser of our brothers and sisters, the one who accuses them day and night before our God, has been thrown down. But they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die. Therefore you heavens rejoice, and all who reside in them! But woe to the earth and the sea because the devil has come down to you! He is filled with terrible anger, for he knows that he only has a little time!”" good/righteous people reside in "heaven", while the idolaters and occultists, as well as people who commit spiritual lawlessness in general, reside in the "earth" and the "sea" - we should again take into account the fact that this is said without regard to (physical) location (the "heaven" is the system of good(ness), the "earth" is the system constituting the apparent diversity of good, while the "sea" is the system ancillary to the work of overall salvation and life's provision needed in this world and constituting the base of the "south kingdom" - in fact, the last two systems appear to be (as it were) the seat of the satanic kingdom - another important fact is that the paradisaical world to come also consists of "heaven" and "earth"(Rev 21:1), because there can be no "earth" without "heaven", nor complete form of life without "earth" - "heaven" and "earth" are a whole) Blessings

they hadn't given up trying to improve themselves making great efforts - this means they overcame indolence, frailty/laxity, despair, etc. - which is why they have succeeded in becoming and being best in their specialties - and this gives us to understand that every person could improve themselves and achieve success in many good initiatives they could undertake Blessings

who said there is something difficult or impossible for God and Jesus?! at first it might seem that there was something difficult or impossible for Them, but They always managed to save all people who could be saved Mark 9:14-27 (AKJV) "And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them. And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him. And he asked the scribes, What question you with them? And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought to you my son, which has a dumb spirit; And wherever he takes him, he tears him: and he foams, and gnashes with his teeth, and pines away: and I spoke to your disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not. He answers him, and said, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him to me. And they brought him to him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came to him? And he said, Of a child. And often it has cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if you can do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. Jesus said to him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help you my unbelief. When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying to him, You dumb and deaf spirit, I charge you, come out of him, and enter no more into him. And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; so that many said, He is dead. But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose." Blessings

will/volition and predestination/destiny are combined into one (action) - for example, some people have been healed of a deadly disease (which cannot be cured without treatment), others have not been healed of the same disease, and we can say it seems there has been a predestination, but if the doctors who healed the ones that have been healed of that disease hadn't worked hard to heal them, would they have been healed?! - how have there been doctors/surgeons to be known as the only ones who not only agreed to treat/operate patients with but also managed to resolve worst health problems very successfully?! - remember that some disciples of Jesus didn't manage to cast out an evil spirit from one person, but Jesus evicted it, though the demon also resisted His attempts to expel it and at first it seemed as if He wouldn't manage to cast it out there is so much evidence to prove that, in comparison with frailty/laxity, strong will overcomes evil, which is the reason why Jesus said "Is it not written in your law, I said, You are gods?"(John 10:34) Blessings
