Welcome, and thank you for visiting today.
As you may be able to see, I am vary excited about learning these new things from the Bible (below). In mid October 2011, when I was looking for an interlinear Bible to find English translations of some verses, I discovered a treasure. Not only a free interlinear Bible, but a site full of studies done during the development of it and by the man that developed it, A. E. Knoch.   I had been studying on my own for the prior year and finding many topics written about that I had never heard teaching on, and I have listened to Bible teaching for over 50 years.

The most wonderful aspect of this information is that all mankind, not only the believers in Christ will eventually be together in heaven. Those that want no part with Jesus Christ will be Judged and punished for their own sins. Their punishment and the time it takes will vary depending on God's verdict, punishment will not be for eternity [a mistranslation], but for a time. Once all have completed their punishment they are raised righteous and are now gladly given to Christ. This is why I believe that the phrase "especially of believers" (1Tim 4:10) is used. There are also differences in the tasks in heaven between both groups, but eventually all will be in Christ, and will be happy servants to Him. Then He will hand all over to God, then Himself (1Cor 15:27-28).

The unbeliever's plight reminds me of the Queen of Shiba's visit to King Salomon, She heard the word in her country (1Kings 10:6), but did not believe until she was at the temple and saw for herself (1Kings 10:7):

1Ki 10:4 And the queen of Sheba sees all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he built,
1Ki 10:5 and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their clothing, and his butlers, and his burnt-offering that he causes to ascend in the house of Yahweh, and there has not been in her any more spirit.
1Ki 10:6 And she said unto the king,  `True has been the word that I heard in my land, concerning your matters and your wisdom;
1Ki 10:7 and I gave no credence to the words till that I have come, and my eyes see, and lo, it was not declared to me--the half; you have added wisdom and goodness unto the report that I heard.
1Ki 10:8 O the happiness of your men, O the happiness of your servants these who are standing before you continually, who are hearing your wisdom!
1Ki 10:9 Yahweh your Elohim is blessed who delighted in you, to put you on the throne of Israel; in Yahweh's loving Israel to the eon He does set you for king, to do judgment and righteousness.

1Timothy 4:9 Faithful is the saying and worthy of all welcome
1Timothy 4:10 (for for this are we toiling and being reproached), that we rely on the living God, Who is the Saviour of all mankind, especially of believers.
1Timothy 4:11 These things be charging and teaching.

For He subjects all under His feet. Now whenever He may be saying that all is subject, it is evident that it is outside of Him Who subjects all to Him. Our Lord Jesus Christ will subject all humanity then Himself to God the Father, that God may be all in all. 1 Corinthians 15:27-28

"Who wills that all mankind be saved and come into a realization of the truth." 1Timothy 2:4

Try reading Colossians in the Concordant translation as a test. You may find that what you read is more understandable and consistent than when you have read Colossians in other translations.

"THE CONCORDANT METHOD
A.E. Knoch

        As an earnest Bible student, desiring to understand the word of God, I discovered that practically all solid progress in the recovery of truth during the last century had come through the use of the concordance. I found that those of my friends who based their study on a concordance made the surest and speediest advance in their knowledge of God. Hence I also began to test and correct my ideas as to the meaning of Bible words by tracing them through all their occurrences. The immense profit and pleasure of this plan awoke in me a strong desire to do all in my power to assist others in this safe and satisfactory method of assuring themselves of the real revelation which God has given.
        But I found that even keen students of exceptional intelligence were not able to derive much benefit from concordances based on English translations. Only those who used concordances based on the original languages received real help. And even they were harassed by using a version which continually counteracted the benefits of their concordant study. So it gradually dawned on me that it was foolish to fill my mind with a discordant version if I hoped to advance in the knowledge of God. It would be just the same to tangle up a ball of twine before trying to use it.
        Thus it was that the idea of a concordant version suggested itself ..." The Concordant Method - by A. E. Knoch (1874-1965)  

There is an online book at Concordant.org as a .PDF download that was very helpful to me when I first started reading their teachings. Actually as I write this I am, for the 3rd+ time, reading it again. The name is: "The Problem of Evil and the Judgments of God" Download
The book is also available to read online, here

If you need a PDF Reader, the one I use "SumatraPDF" can be downloaded here.
