Math Joint Product

Everyone will go to Heaven through faith alone in Jesus Christ. Here is a mathematical allegory I will use to describe this.

In certain manufacturing industries, some end products are all produced from a single raw material input. For us humans, we all come from the dust of the ground. However, we have all been tainted with sin.

So, in essence, we are all joint products.

That dust can be classified as a Joint Input. Later, it goes through a Common Production Process, the taint of sin. This is a Joint Cost.

Then comes the Split-Off Point. Where we become different products. Some people are more social than others, or more logical than emotional, maybe more optimistic. Each person has their own personality type.

In an industrial setting, a joint input like crude oil can undergo a refinement process to transform it into gasoline, for a final sale, with the byproducts of oil and chemicals, which can undergo their own seperate processing to be fit for final sale.

Mathematically, one can decide whether it's economically viable to sell a product as is or process it further.

Per Litre

Oil Chemical

Sales Value at Split-Off Point 100 50

Sales Value after Further Processing 200 60

Allocated Joint Product Costs 150 25

Cost of Further Processing 50 5

That "Allocated Joint Product Cost" is included in these sort of statements, but as a reminder, they are not a relevant cost for internal decision making.

Us living through life is like a blacksmith refining metal in the heat of a furnace. It's similar to the refinement process of oil, as to remove any impurities.

ISAIAH 48:10 See, I have refined you ... I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. (NIV)

Refined material is more valuable than unrefined material. A substance with a 99% purity will be able to sell for more than that same substance with 95% purity. Yet, by believing in Jesus Christ, we will recieve glorified bodies in Heaven, and we will reach a state of 100% purity, free from all sins, as the blood that Jesus Christ shed on the cross acts as the cover for all of our sins.

MALACHI 3:2-3 Who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner's fire or a laundress's soap. He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver, he will purify the Levies and refine them like gold and silver. Then the Lord will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness. (NIV)

So in the real world, while there may be certain costs that exist that make us lose profit by further processing a good, for God, no such costs exist.

Incremental Revenue = Sales Value after Further Processing - Sales Value at the Split Off Point

Incr Rev for Oil = 200 - 100 = 100.

Incr Rev for Chem = 60 - 50 = 10.

Profit (loss) from Further Processing = Incremental Revenue - Cost of Further Processing

Prof Fur Proc Oil = 100 - 50 = 50.

Prof Fur Proc Chem = 10 - 5 = 5

It will always be the Lord's desire to transform someone into a believer of Christ. There is no limit for Him, no cost that can stop Him. For a business, it may be a loss for them to try refining a product over and over again, but to the Lord, there's no constraint. If someone doesn't believe in Jesus Christ, He will try over and over again to convince them, for as long as it takes, even after the human has died, the Lord of Hosts will save everyone through faith alone in Jesus Christ. The entire world will be saved.

Isaiah 25:6-8 " On this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine, of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined. On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; And he shall destroy on this mountain the surface of the covering cast over ALL nations. he will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove his people’s disgrace from all the earth. The LORD has spoken.

It doesn't matter how many months or years of persuasion it takes, eventually, The Lord will convince every single person on Earth to believe in Jesus Christ as their Saviour, thus having all their sins covered.

1 Corinthians 15:22-28 All will be made alive in Christ, but each in his own turn and ultimately Christ will subdue all His enemies, eliminate death and God will be all in all.

Disclaimer: This is just a mathematical example, so the numbers are more of a way of demonstrating numerically the process. But the numbers can be anything, as long as they follow these steps.
