There are many events in scripture that have profound significance with respect to Gods accommodations for man as a result of sin. The exceptions in scripture are one time events that have only occurred once, the following are among the most significant.

The word pastor comes from a Latin word which means “shepherd.” The New Testament presents two offices that constitute church leadership—elder/overseer and deacon. Paul lists the qualifications for elder/overseer in 1 Timothy 3:1–7 and Titus 1:5–9. Notice that in the 1 Timothy passage, Paul refers to them as overseers/bishop (episcopos in the Greek), and in Titus he refers to them as elders (presbuteros in Greek). From this it can be concluded that there is one office with different designations. The word elder refers to the life experience of the office holder, while the word overseer/bishop emphasizes the responsibility of the office holder to watch over the congregation and meet their spiritual needs.
Further, believers may have the “right” to do anything, but not everything is beneficial (1 Corinthians 10:23). Paul used the illustration of eating meat that had been dedicated to idols. To him, such a dedication meant nothing since idols are not real gods. However, he would abstain from eating meat for the good of others who might sin by following his example. Believers serve the Lord both through their personal lives and in their actions toward others.
According to Romans 8:29-30, God predetermined that certain individuals would be conformed to the likeness of His Son, be called, justified, and glorified. Essentially, God predetermines that certain individuals will be saved. Numerous scriptures refer to believers in Christ being chosen (Matthew 24:22, 31; Mark 13:20, 27; Romans 8:33, 9:11, 11:5-7, 28; Ephesians 1:11; Colossians 3:12; 1 Thessalonians 1:4; 1 Timothy 5:21; 2 Timothy 2:10; Titus 1:1; 1 Peter 1:1-2, 2:9; 2 Peter 1:10). Predestination is the biblical doctrine that God in His sovereignty chooses certain individuals to be saved, but this does not mean that all those who are saved were chosen in advance, just a select few for His purposes.
God makes a distinction between those who sin in ignorance and those who sin willfully (Numbers 15:27-31), repentance is always necessary to receive forgiveness (Mark 1:15; Acts 2:38; Acts 26:18). Repentance is literally a change in one’s attitude about God and accompanies saving faith in Christ (Acts 3:19; 20:21; 26:20).
Without it there can be no forgiveness. Jesus said, “No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3; cf. 17:3-4; 2 Peter 3:9).
To sin willfully is to be proud and presumptuous in one’s defiance of God (Psalm 19:13; Hebrews 10:26). Willful sins bring God’s judgment, sooner or later, but sins of ignorance are not excusable, either:
Negative theology, also called apophatic theology, is a way of looking at God using negation. It is the study of what God is not rather than what He is. Negative theology asserts that the transcendent God is essentially unknowable. He is too complex and abstract a being for humans to understand, and words will always fall short of truly describing Him.
Therefore, we are unable to make positive statements about Him. For example, rather than say, “God is good,” negative theology would say, “There is no evil in God,” and leave it at that. Negative theology attempts to come to a knowledge of God indirectly, by removing those things that God is not.
The first thing to consider about Palm Sunday is the dispute surrounding the day of Jesus’ crucifixion, good Friday and the Sunday pre-ported to be the day of His resurrection. If Jesus did not die on a Friday, in brings into question NOT the occasion of Jesus’ entry into the city, but if this occurred on a Sunday. Palm Sunday is the day Christians celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, supposedly, one week before His resurrection (Matthew 21:1–11). As Jesus entered the holy city, He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha. Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called “Passion Week,” the final seven days of Jesus’ earthly ministry. Palm Sunday was the “beginning of the end” of Jesus’ work on earth.
The short answer is Yes, according to Biblical context you will go to Hell, but thats the easy answer..I would be remiss if I did not take a moment to share the following.
If you consider yourself an atheist with a sincere interest in truth, there are several things about Christianity that's critical to understand. This article will solely deal with the biblical Christian faith which I subscribe to personally, and since this question is a biblical one I submit the following.
A cursory reading of the New Testament will reveal that the Catholic Church does not have its origin in the teachings of Jesus or His apostles. In the New Testament, there is no mention of the papacy, worship/adoration of Mary (or the immaculate conception of Mary, the perpetual virginity of Mary, the assumption of Mary, or Mary as co-redemptrix and mediatrix), petitioning saints in heaven for their prayers, apostolic succession, the ordinances of the church functioning as sacraments, infant baptism, confession of sin to a priest, purgatory, indulgences, or the equal authority of church tradition and Scripture.
“Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Acts 2:37-38
“Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.” Acts 10:47-48
Here Peter was describing separate events, repentance and receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior are single transactions that once done results in the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. These are distinct separate events from the gifts of the Holy Spirit. They are separate from baptism in Jesus’ name, which is NOT required for salvation nor is baptism required in order to receive the gifts of the Spirit.
In the eighteenth year of his reign, King Josiah of Judah ordered the caretakers of the Ark of the Covenant to return it to the temple in Jerusalem (2 Chronicles 35:1-6; cf. 2 Kings 23:21-23). That is the last time the ark’s location is mentioned in the Scriptures.
No it is not, to blaspheme is to speak with contempt about God or to be defiantly irreverent. Blasphemy is verbal or written reproach of God's name, character, work, or attributes.
Blasphemy was a serious crime in the law God gave to Moses. The Israelites were to worship and obey God. In Leviticus 24:10–16, a man blasphemed the name of God. To the Hebrews, a name wasn’t just a convenient label. It was a symbolic representation of a person’s character. The man in Leviticus who blasphemed God’s name was stoned to death.
Genesis can be placed into six major contexts—Pre-creation, Creation (Gen 1-2); The Fall of man (Genesis 3-4); Noah through the Flood (Genesis 5-10); The Tower of Babel with the introduction of languages (Genesis 11:1-9); and The Patriarchal Era (Genesis 11:10-50). In each of these contexts—God, Man, Creation and World order are considered.
The book of Genesis begins by introducing God who existed before the Creation (Genesis 1:1). Genesis does not argue for the existence of God, rather it is written with the fundamental presupposition that before the world was created, God was––ie; “In the beginning God”.
Genesis also states that it was God who created the world (Genesis 1:1). The theological implication of (Genesis 1:1) is that God is self–existing with asiety, that He is eternal, that everything exists because He created it, and that He transcends Creation.
The main passage in the Bible that mentions the “mark of the beast” is Revelation 13:15-18. Other references can be found in Revelation 14:9, 11, 15:2, 16:2, 19:20, and 20:4. This mark acts as a seal for the followers of the Antichrist and false prophet (the spokesperson for the Antichrist).
The false prophet (the first beast) is the one who causes people to take this mark. The mark will be literally placed in the hand or forehead and will not simply be a card someone carries.
We have more questions about angels and demons than we have answers. Many times we have to make guesses and assumptions based on a few biblical facts. Angels are essentially spiritual beings without bodies. Hebrews 1:14 calls them ministering spirits. When they appear to people, they normally are seen with bodies. Sometimes they appear as ordinary men (Hebrews 13:2) or incredibly glorious men (Daniel 10:16) and sometimes as fantastic creatures (Isaiah 6:2; Ezekiel 1:4–14).
Many ancient manuscripts were lost or destroyed during Israel's turbulent history. The Old Testament text was standardized by the Masoretic Jews by the sixth century A.D., and all manuscripts that deviated from the Masoretic Text were evidently eliminated. But the existing Hebrew manuscripts are supplemented by the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Septuagint (a third-century B.C. Greek translation of the Old Testament), the Samaritan Pentateuch, and the Targums (ancient paraphrases of the Old Testament), as well as the Talmud (teachings and commentaries related to the Hebrew Scriptures).
Simon of Cyrene is mentioned in three of the four Gospels as the man impelled by the Roman soldiers to carry Jesus’ cross out of Jerusalem. His place of origin has led many to wonder if he was of African descent (and therefore black), or if he was simply born there as were many others of Greek, Roman, and Jewish descent.
Michelangelo’s statue of Moses on display in Vincoli, Rome, in the
Basilica of St. Peter in Chains, depicts Moses with two horns on his head. This horned portrayal of Moses by Michelangelo and by other artists in other works of art and literature stems from a passage in the book of Exodus.
The first occurrence of speaking in tongues occurred on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2:1-4. The apostles went out and shared the gospel with the crowds, speaking to them in their own languages: “We hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” (Acts 2:11).
The Greek word translated tongues literally means “languages.”
Therefore, the gift of tongues is speaking in a language a person does not know in order to minister to someone who does speak that language.
The phrase forbidden fruit has come to mean “something desirable but off limits.” The idea of forbidden fruit originated with the biblical account of the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, committing the first sin on earth. Genesis 3 gives the details of mankind’s first temptation. Satan, in the form of a serpent, convinced Eve that she had misunderstood God’s clearly stated command not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 3:4–5).
The Old Testament is divided into five sections: the Pentateuch
(Genesis through Deuteronomy), the historical books (Joshua through Esther), the poetic books (Job through Song of Solomon), the Major Prophets (Isaiah through Daniel), and the Minor Prophets (Hosea through Malachi). The Old Testament was written from approximately 1400 B.C. to approximately 400 B.C. The Old Testament was written primarily in Hebrew, with a few small sections written in Aramaic (essentially a variation of Hebrew).

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. There are many events in scripture that have profound
significance with respect to Gods accommodations for man
as a result of sin. The exceptions in scripture are one time
events that have only occurred once, the following are
among the most significant.
Creation — At Mount Sinai God told the nation of
Israel, “For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that in them is” (Exodus 20:11). God created all
things — one time. (Genesis 1)
The Virgin Birth of Jesus — Isaiah the prophet had predicted
this in 700 B.C. (Isaiah 7:14), a virgin gave birth to a son and His
name was called “Emmanuel.” (Matthew 1:20-23). The virgin
birth of Jesus was no accident, (Luke 1:35). This miraculous
event, was a one-time event that will never be repeated. The
Lord did it only once.
The Sacrifice of Jesus — During the time the Law of Moses
was in effect, the Levitical priests stood “daily ministering
and offering oftentimes the same animal sacrifices, which
can never take away sins” (Hebrews 10:11).
There is absolutely no way to count all the animal sacrifices
that were offered under the old covenant. In great contrast to
that system, Jesus ‘sacrifice covered all sins for ever.
Hebrews 10:12
But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right
hand of God;
One sacrifice!
(Hebrews 7:27)
3. Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins,
and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
There was no need for Him to repeat it. God had it planned
before the foundation of the world (1 Peter 1:19-20; Revelation 13:8).
Noah and the Flood - Genesis 6.1—9.17
The Tower of Babel - Genesis 11.1-9
The Exodus from Egypt - Exodus 3.1—15.21
The Holy Spirit Comes on Pentecost - Acts 2.1-47
Satan arguing over Moses’ body with Michael - Jude 9
Jude 9
Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of
Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
The resurrection of many people in Jerusalem after Jesus’
resurrection. - Matthew 27:51-53
War in Heaven
The advent of the possibility of sin existing in Heaven is
supported by the events surrounding Lucifer and the war in
Heaven.
Ezekiel 28:13-19
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the
sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the
emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes
was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the
holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was
found in thee.
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence,
and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and
I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
4. 17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by
reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that
they may behold thee.
18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity
of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee,
and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a
terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
Isaiah 14:12-22
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut
down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne
above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of
the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the
man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not
the house of his prisoners?
18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of
those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as
a carcase trodden under feet.
20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land,
and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
Revelation 12:7-8
7 “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and
the dragon fought and his angels,
8 and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which
deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out
with him.”
1/3 of the Angels being cast out of Heaven
Revelation 12:3-4
5. 3 “And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having
seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the
earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to
devour her child as soon as it was born. “
The creation of the foundations of the Earth
Job 38
God created all the elements necessary to support life on Earth prior to placing
life on the planet.
The creation of all life on the Earth
Genesis 1:1-31
Noah and the flood
Genesis 6:7-22
Elijah and Enoch being translated
Genesis 5:23-24
23 “and all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
24 and Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.”
Hebrews 11:5
“By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because
God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased
God.”
Elijah
2 Kings 2:10-12
10 “And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am
taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.
11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a
chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a
whirlwind into heaven.
12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the
horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent
them in two pieces.”
6. Hebrews 9:27
“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”
These are the only two people to have not seen death in a
typical human lifetime, even in consideration of the lives of
those who lived during antiquity for hundreds of years.
The Burial of Moses by God Himself
Deuteronomy 34:4-6
4 “And the Lord said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac,
and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine
eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.
5 So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word
of the Lord.
6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Beth-peor: but no
man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.”
The Son of God coming in the flesh
Luke 1:26-33
26 “And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee,
named Nazareth,
27 to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the
virgin’s name was Mary.
28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the
Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what
manner of salutation this should be.
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his
name JESUS.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall
give unto him the throne of his father David:
33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no
end.”
The Transfiguration
Matthew 17:1-3
7. 1 “And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them
up into an high mountain apart,
2 and was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment
was white as the light.
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.”
Man in Heaven
Isaiah 65:17
“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be
remembered, nor come into mind.”
Revelation 21:1-3
“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were
passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with
men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself
shall be with them, and be their God.”
Man was never intended to be in Heaven, it is an
accommodation that God made for man because of sin. Man
belongs on earth, where God will be with men in the end.
Man in Hell
Matthew 25:40-41
40 “And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye
have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into
everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:”
Jesus makes the statement that the lake of fire was created
for the devil and his angels, NOT man.
The Rapture
1 Thessalonians 4:13-17
8. 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep,
that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus
will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain
unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the
archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the
clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
The False Prophet and Anti-Christ being thrown into the
Lake of Fire alive
Rev 20:20
“And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before
him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that
worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with
brimstone.”
To get to the lake of fire, one must go to Hell first, be judged
and then sent to the Lake of Fire. These two skip all the
ordered steps of the final judgment including the advent of
physical death.
Revelation 20:11-15
11 “And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and
the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and
another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those
things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And 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 according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
What makes these events of importance is the realization of
the completeness of the way God makes accommodations,
9. they are systematic and as compete as any aspect of Gods
creations.
The judgment for the Anti Christ and False Prophet is
planned thousands of years in advance, and to men it is
prophetic as is the case of many of these biblical
observations.
In this, we can see more clearly the character of God, the
way he sees man and most importantly the capacity of His
love for us.
