Many types and classes of people were aboard the Titanic - wealthy people, famous people, highly educated people, illiterate people, and poor folks down in the steerage.
But a few hours later when they posted the list in the Cunard office in New York, there were only two categories: LOST and SAVED.
Can that big boat be used as a metaphor? Sure.
With all types? Yes. That is how God sees humanity.
Some people are headed towards heaven cuz they've made their reservations in advance through repentance and faith in Christ. Do you have eternal life (are you saved) or have eternal death (are hou lost are simply not sure cuz you've been working really hard. Men are safe but it works though).
Wait! The Titanic legitimately used as a Metaphor, really? Sure it can be. Why not? Every one here physically has a shelf life so to speak.
The sinking of the Titanic serves as a dramatic example of a catastrophic event where all social strata were present. The initial diversity of the passengers, from wealthy elite to poorer immigrants (many with completely different political, philosophical and spiritual outlooks), highlights the point that human worth is not determined by worldly status. You all are extremely valuable. People (such as Adam and Eve) are absolutely the Apex of all God's creations.
What's the Lord's Perspective Like?
In God's eyes, each one that's a part of humanity is ultimately divided into two categories: those who are "lost" (not spiritually regenerated inside, a.k.a. unsaved) and those who are "saved." This implies a binary choice, either or regarding salvation. You don't have to guess about it any longer you can know for sure. The Bible says:
12 "Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.
14 And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.
15 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him." 1 John 5:12. esv
That's a verse about eternal life and salvation, and it reinforces a good theological point. God cares enough to act when he sees any of us perishing. He sent Jesus and Jesus willingly went to the cross for you. You came out of the tomb alive again for you. Over 500 people saw him at one occasion.
This passage suggests that eternal life is a completely free gift from God who is real and not religious. His salvation is not earned through merit by anyone no matter where you come from.
"What's the best way to control people?
Merely divide them into different ideological groups and they'll soon start fighting against each other. We've had several leaders try to divide us in my Land.
This way they will forget who their true enemy is (Satan and his buds -- fallen the angels), You forget thinking about their real Savior."
While people may be divided by worldly or political standards, God's ultimate concern is with each one and their spiritual state -- whether they have chosen to embrace his only Son, Jesus Christ with his great salvation. Just sayin'.
