HAS THE GOSPEL MESSAGE LOST SOME OF ITS GLORY SINCE FIRST DELIVERED?

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.. And all was very good" [Gen 1:1, 27 and 31]. ("And won't He give the Spirit to them that ask Him?" Luke 11:13) ...God's rescue from the outcome of "missing the mark" sin "was finished from the foundation/creation of the world" [Heb 4:3]. "My word that goes out from my mouth will accomplish all I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it" [Is 55:11]. Perfect, makes no mistakes. Can lose nothing. Ultimately all will repent.. there may even "be weeping and gnashing of teeth" in "outer darkness" but - "In Christ all will be made alive! Each in his own order - those who are Christ’s at His coming, then the end when Christ hands the kingdom over to God the Father.. that He may be all in all" [1 Cor 15:22-28].

Joyful Surrender

 🍃🕊️ Philippians 2:(9)10 - (“..granted the name above all names) 10 so that at the name of Jesus every - pas, all, every - knee will bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth.

     Who is “under earth”? Those who have died, including who’ve never heard the name. (Imo) translators liked to change “will” into should.. A slight to huge difference, to say every knee should bend is different from every knee wiLL bend - and we know Jesus “will draw all” so in even the hardest cases, it will be totaLLy joyful surrender! And actually originally there’s no should or will in the verse. (As far as I know, I’m no greek scholar.) So logically does all powerful God say, everyone should, or everyone will. I choose to assume will.

      Those “under the earth” and at the “lower part of earth” are in hades - “not seen” ..imo, without the myth, in a state of being gone.. but there is resurrection. Maybe there’s levels of the hades repose, top level “Abraham’s bosom”🤷🏼‍♀️ I don’t care one way or another, except that they shall all praise God - I have to think, a massive understatement for endless reasons.
