Both of us have heard (at least I know that I personally have heard) others say: "When we get to Heaven, there will be some there who we expected to be there who are not there, and there will be some there who we did not expect to be there who will be there. Most of all, we'll be surprised if we're there."

There is something about that lack-of-any-discrimination pseudo-cutesy remark which I detest, because it implies that there is no standard anyone will be judged by, that we are all a mixed bag with uncertainly as to which side of Judgment's Scale we will tip down more, and that we cannot trust or follow anyone in this life as our guiding example. And it does absolutely nothing for our assurance of salvation, but only leaves us with a big question mark and confusion about not only everyone around us but even ourselves.

Again, I find that both extremely irritating and repulsive.

It has been said, both concerning and regarding those who accuse others:

Matthew 5:44 But I say to you: 'Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
Matthew 5:45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He makes His Sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the injust.'

Luke 6:37 "Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven

Luke 6:42 Or how can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye.

John 12:47 If any one hears my sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

First Samuel 15:33 And Samuel said, "As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women." And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.

First Samuel 17:46 This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down, and cut off your head; and I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

Matthew 5:48 You, therefore, MUST be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect [or else you will burn in Hell forever].

Matthew 10:27 What I tell you in the dark, utter in the light; and what you hear whispered, proclaim upon the housetops [the wicked like to keep things secret out of probably-groundless fear of reprisal, so that everyone is "not on the same page" and thus there is confusion and anger).

Matthew 15:14 "Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit."

John 7:24 "Do not judge by appearances, but judge [judge!] with right judgment."

John 8:44 You are of your father the Devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

First Corinthians 5:3 For though absent in body I am present in spirit, and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment

First Corinthians 16:22 If any one has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come!

Second Corinthians 6:17 "Therefore come out from them, and be separate from them [ZERO "tolerance" and NO "inclusive diversity!]," says the Lord, "and touch nothing unclean; then I will welcome you."

Second Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves [first - before starting on others], whether you are in the faith, prove your own selves. Do you not know your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless you are reprobates?

Ephesians 4:32 and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

First Thessalonians 2:14 For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus which are in Judea; for you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from demonic "jews",
First Thessalonians 2:15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and oppose all humans.

Second Timothy 3:2 humans will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, non-grateful, non-holy,
3 inhuman, implacable, slanderers, profligates, fierce, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 holding the form of religion but denying the power of it. Avoid such people [ZERO "tolerance" and NO "inclusive diversity!].
6 For among them are those who make their way into households and capture weak [and wimpy] women [sucking in adulterous soap operas and bad advice in women's magazines and talk-show feminists advocating and advertising unfaithfulness], burdened with sins and swayed by various impulses,
7 who will listen to anybody and can never arrive at a knowledge of the truth.
8 As Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men [and women!] also oppose the truth, men [and women!] of corrupt mind and counterfeit faith;
9 but they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.

Titus 1:9 he/she must hold firm to the sure word as taught, so that he/she may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to confute those who contradict it.

Titus 3:10 As for a man [or woman] who is factious, after admonishing him [or her] once or twice, have nothing more to do with him [or her],
Titus 3:11 knowing that such a person is perverted and sinful; he [or she] is self-condemned.

James 1:7 For that person must not suppose that a double-minded man [or woman] [sometimes against but also sometimes for abortion and/or homosexual pseudo-"gayness" or mopheaded or sleeveless or slacksless or soxless warm-weather immodesty, or evolution rather than creationism] - unstable in all his [or her] ways - will receive anything from the Lord.

First John 2:3 And by this we may be sure that we know Him, if we keep/obey His commandments.
2:4 He who says "I know him" but disobeys His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in Him;
3:22 and we receive from Him whatever we ask, because we keep/obey His commandments and do what pleases Him [not aberrant people].
3:24 All who keep His commandments reside in Him, and He in them. And by this we know that He reside in us, by the Spirit who He has given us.
4:20 If any one says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

First John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey His commandments.
First John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.
Deuteronomy 30:11 this commandment which I command you this day is not too hard for you, neither is it far off.

First John 5:4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith.
5 Who is he/she who overcomes the world but he [or she] who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 This is He NOT "she] who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not with the water only but with the water and the blood.
7 For there are [the Trinity] who bear record in Heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.

Second John 1:10 If any one comes to you and does not bring this doctrine [of Christ, and the doctrinal totality of His Word, the Bible], do not receive him [nor her] into the house [or apartment or condo or townhouse or cabin or car, especially if they have a lethal weapon] nor give him [nor her] any greeting [ i.e. No Soliciting. Private - Keep Out! No Trespassing. Go AWAY.]

Jude 1:5 Now I desire to remind you, though you were once for all fully informed, that he who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe [does not sound like 'Once Saved Always Saved' to me!].
Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was attested as having pleased God [it was not a random pick-up for no cause].

Jude 1:14 It was of these also that Enoch in the seventh generation from Adam prophesied, saying, "Hey, the Lord came with His holy myriads,
15 to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the godless of all their deeds of ungodliness which they have committed in such an godless way, and of all the harsh things which godless sinners have spoken against him."
16 These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own passions, loud-mouthed boasters, flattering people to gain advantage.
17 But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 they said to you, "In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own godless [pro-choice for pro-mopheaded, pro-sleevelessly-naked-armed, pro-legs-bared-by-shorts, pro-soxless-in-noisy-flipflop-sandals] passions."
19 It is these who set up divisions [thus are divisive], worldly people, devoid of the Spirit [whether they are "charismatic" or not.

15:28 And [Pekah] did what was evil in the sight of the LORD; he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which he made Israel to sin.

21:2 And [Manasseh] did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to the abominable practices of the nations whom the LORD drove out before the people of Israel.
21:16 Moreover Manasseh shed very much innocent blood, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another, besides the sin which he made Judah to sin so that they did what was evil in the sight of the LORD.
21:20 And [Amon] did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, as Manasseh his father had done.
23:32 And [Jehoahaz] did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
23:37 And [Jehoiakim] did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.

11 So let no one despise him. Speed him on his way in peace, that he may return to me; for I am expecting him with the brethren.
12 As for our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brethren, but it was not at all his will to come now. He will come when he has opportunity.
15 Now, brethren, you know that the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints;
16 I urge you to be subject to such men and to every fellow worker and laborer.

10 Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions . . . if he comes to you, receive him,

12 Epaphras, who is one of yourselves, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always remembering you earnestly in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.

Second Timothy 1:15 You are aware that all who are in Asia turned away from me, and among them Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me; he was not ashamed of my chains,
17 but when he arrived in Rome he searched for me eagerly and found me . . .
18 may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on that Day--and you well know all the service he rendered at Ephesus.

Second Timothy 4:10 For Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.
11 Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you; for he is very useful in serving me.
12 Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.

19 Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.

Third John 1:12 Demetrius has testimony from every one, and from the truth itself; I testify to him too, and you know my testimony is true.

Sometimes, authentic Christians (or to-become-Christians) need to mature and require discipline [they cannot stay: 'Jesus saved me once and I do not have to learn anything more nor do anything else about it], but they [sometimes violently, perhaps initially-reluctantly-but-then-willingly] accept it . . and invariably when they do sin, they [like perfect-but-susceptible Eve in The Garden at the behest of Tempter Satan] fall into sin because of wicked duress around them which they neither wanted nor asked for:

Habakkuk 1:4 So the law is slacked and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous, so justice goes forth perverted.
Proverbs 29:25 The fear of man [or woman] lays a snare, but he [or she] who trusts in the LORD is safe.
Psalm 56:11 in God I trust [the American Motto] without a fear. What can man [or woman] do to me?
Psalm 118:6 With the LORD on my side I do not fear. What can man [or woman] do to me?
Matthew 10:28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him [NOT "her"] who can [perpetually] destroy both soul and body [repeatedly forever] in Hell.

John 7:13 Yet for fear of demonic "jews" no one spoke openly of Him.
John 12:42 Nevertheless many even of the authorities believed in Him, but for fear of demonic pharisees they did not confess it, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
John 12:43 for they loved the praise of humans more than the praise of God.

John 19:38 After this Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of "the" [demonic] jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Master-Jew Jesus, and Pilate let him do so. So he came and took away His body.
John 20:19 On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of "the" [demonic] jews, Master-Jew Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."

Matthew 28:11 While they were going, hey, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place.
12 And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a bribe of money to the soldiers
13 and said, "Tell people, 'His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep [and so you will be fired from your jobs, if not executed for negligence, and never get re-hired again].'
14 And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble."
15 So they took the money and did as they were directed; and this story has been spread among demonic "jews" to this day.
John 19:22 Pilate answered [demonic "jews"], "What I have written I have written."
Acts 18:2 And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome [a foreshadowing of the Romans destroying Christ-murdering jews in Jerusalem in 70 A.D.]. And he went to see them
Acts 18:14 But when master-Jew Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the demonic "jews," "If it were a matter of wrongdoing or vicious crime, I should have reason to bear with you, Oh demonic "jews;"
Acts 18:15 but being that it is a matter of questions about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves; I refuse to be a judge of these things." Acts 18:16 And he drove "the" [demonic] jews out of the tribunal.

Hebrews 13:6 Hence we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid; what can humans do to me?"

How many times have you heard any persons suggested in the paragraph above openly and publicly declare that Jesus [or The LORD] is their Savior and Lord and Master who they love, and more-or-less behaved or behave like they believed or believe that?

We should not underestimate the importance of Luke, not mentioned as one of The Twelve Apostles [neither is Nathaniel], per:

Matthew 10:2 The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
10:3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
10:4 Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him.

Mark 3:14 And He appointed twelve, to be with Him, and to be sent out to preach
3:15 and have authority to throw out demons:
3:16 Simon whom He surnamed Peter;
3:17 James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James, whom He surnamed Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder [almost sounds American-Indian-like];
3:18 Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Cananaean,
3:19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him.

Luke 6:13 And when it was day, He called His disciples, and chose from them twelve, whom He named apostles;
6:14 Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew,
6:15 and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,
6:16 and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

Acts 1:13 and when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James.

So, what happened to Nathanael?

John 1:45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found Him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the [Roman-legality-titled] son of Joseph."
John 1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and said of Him, "Hey, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!"
John 1:49 Nathanael answered Him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"
20:30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;
20:31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, The Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.

Not much is known about Luke according to the New Testament record, as to his Jewish or Greek or Roman or combo geneology:

Colossians 4:14 Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you.
Second Timothy 4:11 Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you; for he is very useful in serving me.
Philemon 1:24 and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.

What also is known is that Luke had close written contact with Theophilus:

Luke 1:3 it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,
Acts 1:1 In the first book, Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach... ...which Theophilus was perhaps a very-influencial Greco-Roman government official and/or highly-esteemed-and-trusted media compiler and magnate (the Google of his time throughout the Roman Empire?) likely responsible - in large part - for all New Testament books being written and distributed and disseminated in Greek rather than Latin or Hebrew. [Jerome produced the Latin Vulgate many many decades later].

Ask yourself:

- "Do the following have a plainly-evident responsively-friendly (though not pushy or legalistic) verbal or written testimony for Jesus?"
- Is the following Bible verse honestly and actually displayed by them in non-feigned sincerity:

First Peter 1:22 Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere love of the brethren, love one another earnestly from the heart.

- "Are they instead simply heartless and insensitive Old-Testament-law and/or jewish-traditions legalists?"
- "Do they doubtfully question and revile the use of, or instead forthrightly and properly apply, Scriptural proof-texts to issues of morality?"
- "Is 'tolerance' more important to them than consistent and non-compromising moral obedience and courageous proclamation of absolute black-and-white moral directives?"
- "Do they support a truly and accurate Biblical take on issues of morality and immorality, expressing outright righteous hostility and non-compromising hatred against gospel-for-gain greedy, drunkards (calling them for what they is) and addicted (not blaming the substance but instead the person), occultic, those presuming brownie-points-accumulation self-redemption by their religiously self-righteous promotion of racist reparations and racial-preferencing quotas, infidel heretics, anti-authority-respect maliciously hateful and murderers, vandals, liars, antisemitic, selfishly impatient, caustic-condemnatory judgmentalists accusing the moral of "myopic preoccupation with trifles" or "being nitpicky about" or "obsessed with" or "hung up with" or "stuck with harping on" details of morality, biased close-minded, those who slander what is truly sacred, and any even partial deviance of wayward rebels and defiant concerning sexually-oriented issues like feminist sexism, homosexuality, evolution, abortion, public immodesty (especially during warm weather), imposers and tolerators of improper public mopheaded female hairstyles wherever and whenever, porno-supportive of all types and degrees of media obscenity?"
- "Do they love to quote from the Bible and rightly apply it to practical situations and scenarios, rather than retorting that "it does not apply" or is "irrelevant" or remark that "Enough! I don't want to hear about it nor listen to that anymore," or mindlessly read Bible passages when obligated to or for whatever devious purposes?" Even the Devil can read from and quote the Bible.
- "Are they eagerly-proselytizing missionaries for the Jesus they profess non-ashamed allegiance to?
- "Do they espouse the cross-of-Christ-despising wimpy-coward-escapist presumptive myth of an alleged never-never-land, pie-in-the-sky-by-and-by, we'll-be-snatched-instead-of-dying, pre-Tribulation Rapture?"

More often than not, have the persons named below displayed "fruits of the Spirit?"

Galatians 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit you are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are plain: fornication, impurity [modeling for and producing porn], licentiousness [immodesty misdressing],
20 idolatry [retaining and disseminating porn], sorcery [Harry Potter, astrology, or The Force], enmity [divorce], strife [brawls], jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissension, party spirit,
21 envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law.
24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the [sin-acquiesing] flesh with its passions and desires.
25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.
26 Let us have no self-conceit, no provoking of one another, no envy of one another.

Romans 10:9 ...if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

How many times (if ever) have you heard any persons suggested in the paragraph above openly and publicly declare that Jesus is their Savior and Lord and Master who they love?

And who exactly "believes in their heart" that God raised Jesus back to life? How can we tell who does that?

Matthew 12:37 "...for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."

Second 1:9 Any one who goes ahead and does not reside in the doctrine of Christ does not have God; he/she who resides in the doctrine has both the Father and the Son.
Second 1:10 If any one comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive them into the house or give him-or-her any greeting;
Second 1:11 for he who greets him/her shares his-or-her wicked work.

How many of those (if any) mentioned in the above paragraph have observably and reliably and obviously stayed "in the [total and complete] doctrine of Christ" (and all that that includes)?

Revelation 1:2 [John] bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw.

More indication of who's who, and what their apparent eternity destiny was or is or will be:

First John 3:10 By this it may be seen who are the children of God, and who are the children of the Devil: whoever does not do right is not of God, nor he who does not love his [or her] brother [or sister].
3:14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love resides in death.
4:8 He/She who does not love does not know God; for God is love.
4:20 If any one says, "I love God," and hates his [or her] brother, he/she is a liar; for he-or-she who does not love his-or-her brother whom he-or-she has seen, cannot love God whom he-or-she has not seen.

And further indication of who's headed for Heaven compared to who's headed for Hell, is defined by who HATES who, and for what cause:

Deuteronomy 33:11 "Bless, Oh LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands; crush the loins of his adversaries, of those that hate him, that they rise not again."

Second Samuel 19:4 The king covered his face, and [King David] cried with a loud voice, "Oh my son Absalom, Oh Absalom, my son, my son!"
19:5 Then Joab came into the house to the king, and said, "You have today covered with shame the faces of all your servants, who have this day saved your life, and the lives of your sons and your daughters, and the lives of your wives and your concubines,
19:6 because you love those who hate you and hate those who love you. For you have made it clear today that commanders and servants are nothing to you; for today I perceive that if Absalom were alive and all of us were dead today, then you would be pleased.
19:7 Now therefore get up, go out and speak kindly to your servants; for I swear by the LORD, if you do not go, not a man will stay with you this night; and this will be worse for you than all the evil that has come upon you from your youth until now."

Second Chronicles 19:2 But Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to King Jehoshaphat, "Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the LORD? Because of this, wrath has gone out against you from the LORD."

Psalm 26:5 I hate the company of evildoers, and I will not sit with the wicked.
34:21 Evil shall slay the wicked; and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
97:10 The LORD loves those who hate evil; He preserves the lives of his saints; he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
101:3 I will not set before my eyes anything that is base. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cleave to me.
119:104 Through your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.
119:113 I hate double-minded persons, but I love your law.
119:128 Therefore I direct my steps by all your precepts; I hate every false way.
119:163 I hate and abhor falsehood, but I love your law.
120:6 Too long have I had my residence among those who hate peace.
129:5 May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward!
139:21 Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord? And do I not loathe those who rise up against you?
139:22 I hate them with perfect hatred; I consider them my enemies.

Ecclesiastes 3:8 [there is] a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.

Jeremiah 12:8 My heritage has become to me like a lion in the forest, she has lifted up her voice against me; therefore I hate her.

Luke 14:26 "If any one comes to me and does not hate [yes: hate!] his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple."

Matthew 15:4 For God commanded, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him surely die.'
Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love [yes: love!] your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her
Colossians 3:19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.

Contradictions? HELL no. Paradoxes? Hell, yes! Do 'em all. Whenever appropriate. "Situation ethics" - but guided by The Holy Spirit.

May the reader re-examine the Scriptural basis previously stated for basing evaluations and categorization of both the suggested names of the righteous and the suggested names of the wicked, mentioned above.
