How shall we escape what?
God uses the book of nature, and book of scripture; and a person's conscience to reveal Himself. this menu topic is revealed in scripture. God will place our spirits in indestructible bodies that can exist beyond earth's 4 dim's, no longer bound by the laws and limits of the current existence. one outcome will be a choice some will make which is not accept God's plan of salvation (which is to believe through Christ's death, burial, and resurrection; God paid their sin penalty).
now if God's offer of salvation is rejected as a pattern of ongoing animosity towards God, a person can reach a point to cross-over to blasphemy threshold which means that person's heart becomes fixed and then they become unredeemable reprobates, in many cases those persons will soon die. one reason for this is to limits their evil and suffering that the blasphemer will bring about to themselves and to others. another reason --- the greater judgment they would pile up against themselves. so it's clear, salvation is a work of God on behalf of a person. what is asked of man is to believe it was done for them individually. when the U. time line ends, a great divide between believers and unbelievers begins, scriptures refers to this as ' a great gulf fixed'.
You just make stuff up, eh?
