Re: “All who have trusted Christ have their names recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life.”I'll look forward to the longer explanation. (I hope you have the energy for such a complicated reply.) It's totally understandable, by the way, if you don't have an explanation. There are some things that fall into the purview of "The Lord works in mysterious ways," after all. In that case, no sweat.

Remember: I'm wondering about the hundreds or possibly thousands of generations of people who came BEFORE Christ. They couldn't very well have faith in him . . . since the salvation he would one day offer came thousands or tens of thousands of years too late. It has always seemed to me that all those people were more or less screwed and just forgotten by Christian minsters because they are, literally, dead and buried in the distant past. Forgetting them is easy and works for most people. Unfortunately, I'm here, always looking for things that don't make much sense.

There is no reason I can see why God should care about me and not about them. So this is something I find disturbing.

I continue to believe, by the way, in the multiple-worlds theory of quantum physics. There are only two possibilities that have been posited and which cover everything we can experimentally test: The Copenhagen Theory that says, among other things, that all of the universe's particles "decide" when they get measured or are detected what it is that they did (the theory practically imparts them with intelligence!), and the Multiple-worlds Theory that says that every time a particle can act in more than one way, all of those things happen and the universe splits. In such a universe, the path from past to future is not linear. There are virtually infinite futures and we only get to see one of them.

Why am I bringing this up? Because "Heaven" loses a lot of its significance if there are an infinite number of "me's" and only some of them gain admission.

But I am genuinely interested in your answer. Thanks! (And have a terrific, HEALTHY Easter!)
