If Your Last Name Is Pedigo Tell Me Who You Are Because I

Why was King James (I of England and VI of Scotland) fascinated with demons, witches, and demonology?

Actually, King James I (which is what I assume you are talking about) was almost obsessed with demonology, writing a book on it and watching plays by Shakespeare that were cynical and had references to demonology, for example Macbeth. He did not support demonic spirits, rather he detested them and was rather more curious about their practices and how good Christians could combat them. Micheal Pedigo (answer below) was wrong when he stated you were making an accusation, you were merely asking a question. It is actually widely known that Shakespeare wrote Macbeth to appease the king.The reason why King James was into demonology was because his predecessor Queen Elizabeth (or the virgin queen) had created an era where it was unacceptable to read anything except the bible, and everyone was very good and christian, however there were still tales of bewitching, and it was an interesting topic.Don’t hate on my man for wanting to become a demon thanks baBeS

Do you believe that all people will make it to Heaven? What is the Biblical basis for your beliefs?

I don’t think there is a heaven or a Hell, but according to scripture, there is no perfect being other than God. The only way you can go up to Heaven is to be a sinless, perfect person. God made humans with free-will, so that they could do whatever they wanted and choose whether they could sin or not, but knowing humans and since humans ate the Apple they will always sin. So God created men to be imperfect beings who could not help but disobey due to their free-will, yet despite giving his only son Jesus Christ to take in all their sin, they could still choose to sin as much as they want and be imperfected. It sounds to me like God doesn’t want to share his magical paradise with humans if he purposefully made them so flawed.It sounds like he would rather punish them and send us all to Hell, unless we believe in him and fear him. That’s what he wants after all, is to fear us. Technically, Jesus never came to absorb sin either, he was a Messiah to proclaim and bring about the End Times.”Do not assume I have come to bring peace to earth. I do not come to bring peace, but a sword.”~ Matthew 10:34Plus you have his Sermon on the amount where he literally predicts the end of the world. So technically God wanted his son to kill us all and send us to Hell unless we feared him and worshipped him, then we’d go to Heaven and worship him. Basically unless you’ve never sinned, which is impossible, you’re going to Hell. So no one is going to Heaven.

Do you think the period of the Great Tribulation, predicted in Christianity, will start in 2019?

No. The tribulation (or 7 year day of the Lord) won’t begin to happen until after the temple is rebuilt in Jerusalem; where the anti christ causes the daily sacrifice to stop after three and a half years of those 7. The New Temple won’t be built (Ezk. 40–44) until after Gog, the land of Magog and all the Arab armies with him are defeated (Ezek. 38, 39) in what will be clearly seen as an act of God. Ezekiel says Gog will attack when he sees Israel is a land of unwalled cities, meaning it is at peace with its neighbors. Right now, it is in a state of war with them.The time it will take for Israel to become a nation of unwalled cities. The time and circumstances for the battle of God and Magog to take place and the seven years it will take to clean up afterwards, according to Ezekiel. And the time it will take for the Temple in Jerusalem to be built and worshiped in (as well as the establishment and rise of the anti christ) tell us the tribulation has to be a minimum of 10–15 years away,(which fits nicely, timewise, with end of the two thousand year age of the gentles (2028–2038) which marks the end of the sixth day that the bible talks about). The decade of the 2020’s could be a very interesting time, but the tribulation won’t begin until afterwards.

What is the biblical basis for the notion of some Christians that non-Christians will end up in hell?

There is no Biblical basis for the doctrine of hellfire.What the Bible states about death is simple:All of us are sinners and deserving of death, no matter what kind of lives we lead (Rom. 5:12)When we die, we ALL go to the same place- “back to the ground where we came from” before we were born- or in other words, to non-existence (Gen 3:19)When a person dies, they have there and then paid their debt of sin to God. They have nothing more to answer for. Death itself is the punishment for sin (Rom. 6:7; Rom. 6:23)Dead people are conscious of nothing, and therefore it’d make no sense to torment- whether emotionally or physically in fire- a person who had no idea they are being tormented (Eccl. 9:5,6,10)God is love, and wouldn’t punish people for eternity as punishment for having committed less than 100 years of sin. (1 John 4:8)God finds the idea of burning people disgusting (Jer. 7:30,31)Bonus point: The words translated “hell” in most Bibles simply mean the grave, or the world of the dead. The English word “hell” in the past referred to the ground, and implied coldness, not heat.That’s why preserving potatoes in the ground during winter was called “helling the potatoes).To learn more:What Happens When You Die? | Bible Questions
