   What "works"? The works they do AFTER their resurrection. This will   
   happen during the 1000 year reign of Christ.

   >Rev 20:13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell   
   >delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man

   Yes, this happens after their resurrection and after a trial period.   
   Think about it from your point of view. Those in the fires of hell,   
   get out, are judged for their works they did prior to their death, and   
   are tossed back in hellfire again. Thus they are DOUBLELY judged.   
      
   >   
   >Rev 20:14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the   
   >second death.   
      
   NOTICE THAT SCRIPTURE VERY CAREFULLY. Death is somehow picked up and   
   cast into the Lake of Fire. CAN DEATH BE TORTURED AND BURNED?   
      
   Hell is somehow picked up and cast into the Lake of Fire. Can hell be   
   tortured and burned?   
      
   Yes the Lake of Fire is SYMBOLIC. Of what? Rev 20:14 tells us. THE   
   SECOND DEATH. This (Lake of Fire") is the second death.   
      
   The first death is what we all inherited from Adam. The second death   
   is the death that occurs being tossed into the Lake of Fire.

   >Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.   
      
   Heaven is God's home. It will always be. The planet earth will always   
   remain since he gave it to humans to live upon:   
      
   -- Revised Standard   
   Ecclesiastes 1:4  A generation goes, and a generation comes, but the   
   earth remains for ever.

   >> -- King James   
   >> Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.   
      
   These are words inspired of God. They can be ignored or twisted. They   
   are universal truths.   
   >   
   >2Pe 3:9The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count   
   >slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should   
   >perish, but that all should come to repentance.   
      
   Yes, our God of love wants all people to be saved. He is not the   
   tortuous god of hellfire, but the God of love.   
      
   >   
   >2Pe 3:10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the   
   >which the heavens   
      
   Those in high authority like Presidents, etc. Heaven is God's home.   
      
   >shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall   
   >melt with fervent heat,   
      
   Things in this world that are against God.   
      
    the earth also and the works that are therein shall   
   >be burned up.   
      
   If that is literally true, then it contradicts:   
      
   Ps 104:5   
   Mt 5:5   
   Ec 1:4   
   Ps 78:69   
   Ps 119:90   
   Ps 37:11 (notice how Jesus quoted it; Mt 5:5)   
      
      
   >   
   >2Pe 3:11Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of   
   >persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,   
   >   
   >SO obviously you missed something in regards to any meek inheriting the   
   >earth.   
      
   You just quoted Jesus at Mt 5:5. Are you calling him a liar?   
      
   >   
   >The beatitudes was given to the Believers, NOT the general population.   
      
   Nonsense. Jesus talked to everyone. Those who were curious and even   
   opposers. You don't think the Scribes and Pharisees were there   
   listening intensely to every word in order to accuse him?   
      
   >   
   >>   
   >> They shall inherit what? Heaven-no, hellfire-no, Purgatory-no, but THE   
   >> EARTH. Jesus said it, so it has to be.   
   >   
   >Which earth? God has established that there will be a New Earth, and upon it   
   >will be no sin, and only those who are redeemed will dwell there in the New   
   >Jerusalem.   
      
   So then if you rented out your house, and the tenants  damaged it,   
   what would you do? Burn down the house? No, you would kick out those   
   tenants, and repair the damage.   
      
   God will do a similar thing. Notice:   
      
   -- King James   
   Revelation 11:18  And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come,   
   and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou   
   shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the   
   saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest   
   destroy them which destroy the earth.   
      
   DID HE SAY HE WOULD DESTROY THE EARTH? No, he will destroy those   
   ruining the earth, then fix it up and turn it into a paradise, like he   
   wanted Adam and Eve to do.   
   God's word ALWAYS occurs:   
      
   -- King James   
   Isaiah 55:11  So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it   
   shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I   
   please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
