All Idolaters Will Have Their Part in the Lake of Fire & Brimstone

Idolatry is a big problem in today's society. People worship money, the sun, the moon, statues, paintings, sports, the demon Mary, themselves, their assets, each other, and do great wickedness in the sight of the LORD.

Well, the Bible tells us what happens to idolaters:

"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." (Revelation 21:8)

It is so important that those of you who are reading this that are not saved, WAKE UP! Your sin will take you straight to hell, and now is the day of salvation (2nd Corinthians 6:2).

As for the money issue, the love of money is the root of all evil (1st Timothy 6:10). Jehovah commands us to put Him first, before all other things. We are to love him with all of our mind, heart, soul, and strength (Luke 10:27).

Now for you rich men who claim you love God:

The Bible makes it clear that the rich man will hardly inherit the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 19:23-24, Luke 6:24).

It is SO important that for all of you who are reading this that are not born-again, to humble yourselves before God. Admit that you are a wicked sinner and deserve hell. Confess with your mouth, and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, that He suffered and died for your sins; that he rose on the third day in fulfillment of the Scriptures, and that he has ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. Believe that the entirety of the word of God is true (Romans 10:9-10).

For those of you who think you can bribe God come judgment day, you'll find out that you've been mistaken; your good will never outweigh your bad. Your only hope is in Jesus Christ; it is through His stripes that we are healed (Isaiah 53:5).

Does God Hate Anyone?

 

Abomination - a thing that causes disgust or hatred (New Oxford American Dictionary).

Sometimes, when saved Christians go out to preach the word of God, they encounter individuals who have created their own false god, who is okay with their sin. Now picture this: these idolaters claim that God loves them, no matter how many times they fornicate, lie, steal, blaspheme, dishonor their parents, worship other gods, covet, get drunk, etc.

What they don't realize is that the LORD is angry with the wicked everyday (Psalm 7:11)! They don't know that Jehovah hates workers of iniquity (Psalm 5:5), and violence (Psalm 11:5).

Whenever a born-again Christian goes to reprove (Ephesians 5:11), rebuke, and correct the evildoers (2nd Timothy 3:16), the wicked sinners sometimes reply with, "You have no right to judge us. Are you God?" Then, these evildoers go on to sneer, and jeer at them, and the Bible.

Born-again Christians should not be led away by their error (2nd Peter 3:17). Instead, they should be bold, and lift their voice up like a trumpet to show these sinners that they have fallen short of Yahweh's glory (Romans 3:23, Isaiah 58:1, Ephesians 6:19-20).

Now, there are dogs out there who support wickedness, such as homosexuality. There are even those who deny Jesus, and claim that He never existed, and that born-again Christians are crazy. What they don't realize is that the LORD hates those that justify the wicked, and those that condemn the just (Proverbs 17:15). These evildoers need to be reproved, and shown that they are already condemned for not believing in Jesus, the only begotten Son of God (John 3:18).

These people have no hope: some of them are so arrogant, that they believe that they aren't wicked; even after you go through the Ten Commandments with them! They don't realize that having pleasure in their ungodliness, and refusing to repent will damn them for all eternity in hell (2nd Thessalonians 2:12)! God hates liars, the haughty, murderers, etc. (Proverbs 6:16-19)

So does the LORD hate anyone? He sure does! Jehovah HATES the wicked!

What the Bible Says About Fools

Before we get started, I want to give the definition of a fool:

A fool is a person who acts unwisely or imprudently; a silly person
                  • historical a jester or clown, esp. one retained in a noble household.
                  • informal a person devoted to a particular activity : he is a running fool.
                  • archaic a person who is duped. (New Oxford American Dictionary)

This is to clear the air so that when I call fools "stupid, unwise, obnoxious, etc.", you know that it is merited. I am only judging dolts that mock God's word. If you have a problem with that, go read my article about judging people.

Now, arrogance may be the number one reason why sinners don't get saved. It is their vanity that causes them to reject the free gift of everlasting life, from Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God (John 3:18). God resists the proud, and gives grace unto the humble (James 4:6, 1st Peter 5:5).

It is their conceit that drives them to not want to live by rules, or by "a book." Those who are not saved give Jehovah no respect, and even though they know He exists within their hearts, they deny Him. They love darkness, rather than light, because of their immoral exploits (John 10:10).

Born-again Christians know that the devil has come to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). They also know that guilt and shame shall come among them, for not obeying the LORD and preaching the gospel (Mark 16:15,  1st Corinthians 9:16).

Thus, when saved Christians bear their cross and preach God's word, there are those who mock at it. The word of God makes it very clear: those who mock at sin are fools (Proverbs 14:9). People who proclaim in their hearts that there is no God are stupid (Psalm 14:1). Those who trust in their own hearts are brainless (Proverbs 28:26). Without accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you have no hope (John 14:6).

The Bible says that when you begin to fear Yahweh, you gain knowledge. It is the fool, who hates wisdom and instruction (Proverbs 1:7). Fools, publicly announce their own stupidity (Proverbs 12:23).

The Bible says that if you are a friend of fools, you'll be destroyed (Proverbs 13:20). If you utter a slander, you're an imbecile (Proverbs 10:18). If you are contentious, you're foolish (Proverbs 18:6). SHAME shall be the promotion of idiots (Proverbs 3:35).

That is why it is so important to "forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding" (Proverbs 9:6).

So next time you see a person mocking the word of God, stay away from them. They are fools that will only bring more harm than good. It is possible for your manners to be corrupted, due to their evil (1st Corinthians 15:33). And don't reprove a mocker, unless he loathes you (Proverbs 9:7-8).

You Reap What You Sow

Have you ever had an experience in your life when you asked someone a simple question, and they just ignored you? Then in the future, they turn around and ask you something, and you give them the same treatment? This act becomes a constant back-and-forth struggle, and it can really affect the mindset of both people involved.

Well, the Bible has something to say about it; but before I get into that, I just want to mention something. If you are ignoring your neighbor for no reason whatsoever, you are ostracizing them; this affects a certain part of their brain, called the anterior cingulate cortex. Now for those of you who don't know what ostracism means, it is the act of excluding someone from a society or group (the New Oxford American Dictionary). By doing this, you are actually inflicting a form of pain on the one who is being ostracized.

Well, the Bible says:

"...Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." (Matthew 22:39)

"Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him." (Proverbs 26:27)

"Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him." (Isaiah 3:11)

"Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same." (Job 4:8)

"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." (Matthew 7:12)

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." (Galatians 6:7)

Now, based on this, it seems that you should never ignore someone. Well, I am not implying that. I am just trying to let people know that if someone has not done anything wrong to you, you should not ignore them.

That means if someone acts you a silly question, ANSWER IT. Ladies, if it seems like a guy is hitting on you, TALK TO HIM. If a bum walks up to you and asks you for money, RESPOND to him/her. You never know; it may not be a silly question, he may not actually be hitting on you, and maybe the bum really does need something to eat. Remember, each and every one of us has value in the eyes of the LORD. You do not know if that person will get saved later in his/her life; that is why it is so important to treat EVERYONE with respect.

"Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king." (1st Peter 2:17)

"Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows." (Matthew 10:31)

Now, if you are witnessing to someone, and they are acting foolish, then you are to walk away from them.

"Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding." (Proverbs 9:6)

Remember, as Christians we are always expected to do the right thing, and should always be walking in the Spirit.

"For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." (Galatians 6:8-9)

Always show respect to people, even if you are in a hurry to get somewhere.

Catholicism DESTROYED!

"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." (Matthew 7:15)

* I was inspired to write this article by a Catholic named OCCatholic, thanks to a heated discussion that took place. This was due to him being so quick to cause discord between us. He is the most contentious, hardcore Catholic I have ever talked to. He is so adamant and duped, that I want to reprove him, AND ANYONE ELSE who justifies the wickedness of the Catholic religion (Ephesians 5:11). *

First and foremost, most Catholics ARE NOT born again Christians. Most Catholics are deceived people who are on their way to HELL because they speak BLASPHEMIES and do that which is WICKED in the sight of God.

Second, although Mary had the Holy Ghost within her, and gave birth to Jesus, she was a SINNER (Psalm 51:5, Luke 1:30; 46-47, Romans 3:10; 3:23; 5:12; 6:23, Hebrews 9:27, James 2:10)! Now just because she gave birth to earthly Jesus, does not mean that He was created. Jesus is God, and is eternal.

Third, YOU ARE SINNING IF:


1.) you are worshiping Mary
2.) you are calling priests "Father"
3.) you refer to the Pope as "Holy Father"
4.) you bow and/or pray to paintings and/or statues
5.) you are confessing your sins to a priest, in order to be forgiven

Fourth, YOU HAVE BEEN DECEIVED IF YOU BELIEVE THAT:

1.) the church was founded on Peter
2.) you are saved by good works only
3.) purification comes from purgatory, and not from Jesus Christ

Fifth, there are more examples of things wrong with the Catholic religion. I am not going to list them all. That is why I am going to ask you to please take a look at each of these following links, which expose the evil of the Catholic religion:

The Antichrist Slideshow

Catholicism is of the Devil!

The Roman Catholic "Church" is Not Christian

The Roman Catholic Holy Inquisitions?

List of Catholic Heresies and Human Traditions

THE TRUTHS DISPLAYED IN THESE WEBSITES ABOUT THE EVIL OF THE CATHOLIC RELIGION ARE IRREFUTABLE!

Sixth, celibacy is evil, and is a DOCTRINE OF DEMONS. I am going to show you several Bible verses to show you why.

1.) "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth." (1st Timothy 4:1-3)

2.) "Marriage is honourable in all..." (Hebrews 13:4)

3.) "...the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him." Genesis 2:18

Finally, here are some more Bible verses which destroy the evil, Catholic religion.

1.) "Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me." (Isaiah 43:10) [If Mary gave birth to God, she'd be God.]

2.) "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God..." (Exodus 20:4-5)

3.) "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ" (1st Corinthians 3:11)

4.) "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;" (1st Timothy 2:5) [not Mary, not saints, not priests, not the pope]

5.) "And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are." (John 17:11)

6.) "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)

7.) "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness." (Romans 4:5)

Now this is a message for all the Catholics out there, living in sin: REPENT, AND BELIEVE IN THE GOSPEL EVILDOERS!

Make War! Be a Good Soldier for Jesus Christ!

"The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name." (Exodus 15:3)

"And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." (Revelation 19:11-16)

"The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealously like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar: he shall prevail against his enemies." (Isaiah 42:13)

"Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight." (Psalm 144:1)

"Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier." (2nd Timothy 2:3-4)

"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution." (2nd Timothy 3:12)

 

"And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:" (John 19:17)

"And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus." (Luke 23:26)

"And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:27)

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." (Psalm 23:4)

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love." (1st John 4:18)

God's Greatness is Unsearchable

"Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable." (Psalm 145:3)

"And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him." (Matthew 17:1-5)

"Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, "Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:" (Isaiah 46:9-10)

"And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth." (Revelation 19:6)

"If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me." (Psalm 139: 8-10)

"Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases." (Luke 9:1)

"He telleth the number of the stars, he calleth them all by their names." (Psalm 147:4)

"Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy." (Psalm 99:3)

"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard." (Psalm 19:1-3)

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." (Genesis 1:1)

"Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth." (Genesis 11:9)

"The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof. He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud. By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent." (Job 26: 11-13)

Read Job 38-42 for more of God's greatness.

Preaching God's Word to Everyone All Throughout the World, Winning Souls, and Why We Should Do It

Starting off with the latter, we should preach God's word, and win souls because God COMMANDS us to! God doesn't just want us to preach His word to our friends and relatives, He COMMANDS us to preach His word to everyone! Even Jesus went everywhere, preaching the gospel of the kingdom. PRAISE THE LORD!

"Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled." (Luke 14:23)

"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine." (2nd Timothy 4:2)

"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15)

"And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people." (Matthew 9:35)

God says that we will be downcast and in trouble if we do not obey Him, and preach His word.

"For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!" (1st Corinthians 9:16)

By hearing the word of God, people can get saved.

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? (Romans 10: 13-14)

"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (Romans 10:17)

Now that we know that people can get saved by hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ, how can we save souls? Jesus makes it very clear in this next verse:

"And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." (Matthew 4:19)

By following Christ, and by living by His example, we can win souls! God tells us about the character of someone who wins souls in the following verse:

"The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is WISE." (Proverbs 11:30)

Do you want to be wise? I am sure you do because I want to be wise. Go out and preach the word, that souls will be saved. BEAR YOUR CROSS!

There are rewards for your hard work:

"And they that be WISE shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever." (Revelation 22:12)

So you could be one of the celebrities talked about in heaven, if you obey God and have that zeal.

Remember, your hard work in serving the Lord is NEVER in vain.

"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord." (1st Corinthians 15:58)

Can a Christian Judge Other People, and is it Necessary?

If you have ever open-air preached, or witnessed to someone who has not been saved, more than likely you have heard the convicted sinner say this: "Judge not, that ye be not judged." (Matthew 7:1)

Now based off of this verse in the Bible, it would seem like none of us can judge anyone, but is that really the case? Let's take a look at a few other verses in the Holy Bible that deal with judging.

"The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment." (Psalm 37:30)

"Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment." (John 7:24)

"But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him? But he have the mind of Christ." (1st Corinthians 2:15-16)

"The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace." (Isaiah 59:8)

"Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not." (Malachi 3:18)

Okay, so based off of these Bible verses, the word of God makes it clear: we are to judge one another with love and righteousness, not with hate. If we don't judge one another, then people start becoming slaves to sin (John 8:34) because we are not obeying God, and fearing Him.

So going back to Matthew 7:1, what is the meaning behind this? The meaning behind this verse becomes clear: "we are not to judge one another hypocritically, rashly, impartially, uncharitably, unmercifully, unrighteously, with a desire of ill will against our neighbor, with jealously, with a spirit of revenge" (Matthew Henry's Commentary), etc. Basically, we are only to judge, and spiritually discern others according to the Holy Bible. God's word is the ONLY truth, and we should live our lives according to how God commands us to.

Judging is VERY important: when we are absent from the body, and present with the LORD, God's elect shall even judge angels!

"Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to the law before the unjust, and not before the saints? Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?" (1st Corinthians 6:1-5)

So most of the previous Bible verses that I have showed you dealt with judgment which was written in the New Testament. If we take a look at the Old Testament, it becomes clear that even in the time of the prophets, God's children were to judge righteously.

"Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour." (Leviticus 19:15)

"And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him." (Deuteronomy 1:16)

Now before someone gets angry and points at verses in the book of Romans about condemning ourselves when we judge, it is because we are not supposed to judge outwardly, or according to the flesh. We are to judge inwardly, according to the heart, as the Lord does. We are to be fair and just with our judgments, because everyone has sinned. We are not to jump to conclusions and judge people rashly because that is when you condemn yourself. Please take CAREFUL consideration when you pass judgment upon others.

Attention Mormons, Muslims, Catholics, Atheists, and Others...

The bible says that if you deny that Jesus is the Christ, you are a liar and are an antichrist (1 John 2:22). The bible also says that if you teach false doctrine, you are accursed (Galatians 1:8-9). I am telling you this not to offend you (although I am sure I will be reviled for saying this), but to warn you for the consequences that will come after you die.

The bible says that when you die, you are present with the LORD. He will then judge you when you are before his judgment seat; if you have not repented and believed in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, who shed his precious blood on the cross for the remission of sins, you will be sentenced to hell for all eternity by God.

Why? It is because God is a holy, and righteous God, who will not allow sin in his kingdom. God hates sin and will not allow the following people in his kingdom: idolators, liars, blasphemers, drunkards, cowards, homosexuals, disobedient to parents, thieves, adulterers, adulteresses, murderers, fornicators, revilers, bribers, extortioners, harlots, whoremongers, false prophets, those who despise good, those who hate God, those who support sin, those with an overt sexual desire (lasciviousness), those who are proud, those who forget God, and those who are covetous. Essentially, everyone is guilty of breaking one of these commandments by God, and we are all wicked sinners in his eyes.

That is why God sent his only begotten son to die for our sins, so whosoever shall believe in him shall not perish (the second death), but have everlasting life (John 3:16). God paid for the penalty of your sin about 2,000 years ago because he loves you, and he wants you to go to heaven. Jesus was no ordinary man; he was the Son of God, manifested in the flesh (1 Timothy 3:16), who knew no sin, nor was guile found in his mouth (1 Peter 2:22). Jesus Christ paid the penalty of sin himself, for you, and then the wrath of God came upon him when he died. He was sent to hell for three days and three nights for everyone (Matthew 12:40), then resurrected from the dead, and was seated at the right hand of the Father. This is why Christ judges us when we die; he gave up everything for you, so when you die, and are before Christ's judgment seat, if you have repented and believed in Christ with all your heart, he can dismiss your case, and you can live in heaven for eternity.

@ Mormons:

I have a testimony for you: Joseph Smith, Jr. is in HELL! Joseph Smith, Jr. was a liar, a false prophet, and a pervert. He had 33 wives, and believed that he was above God. Joseph claimed that Lucifer was the brother of Jesus, and that Lucifer himself was the son of the Father. Not only that, but your doctrine states that the Heavenly Father was a man, which is a blatant lie. Joseph Smith, Jr. was a very arrogant, deceitful man, who cannot be trusted. "...let God be true, but every man a liar" (Romans 3:4)

@ Muslims:

Muhammad was a liar who received the gospel from Satan himself. In the bible, it says that the angel of light is Lucifer (2 Corinthians 11:14), who is the father of lies. So if he is the father of lies, what does that make his children? Muhammad was a pedophile who married a six year old girl, and then had sex with her when she was nine. The Qur'an denies the deity of Jesus Christ, and denies that Jesus Christ died on the cross (instead, it states that Judas, the betrayer of Christ himself, died on the cross). Do yourself a favor: if you find a Qur'an, BURN IT.

@ Catholics:

Mary was not sinless (Romans 3:23), praying to idols and saints is idolatry, and God says to call no man "Father" upon the earth. This is because it has a religious connotation to it (Matthew 23:9). The pope is a liar, blasphemer, and proud man. How dare he call himself the Holy Father? He is a liar who is worthy of death in the eyes of the LORD. He needs to repent and be born again. The Catholic church used to accept the Apocrypha, which obviously is not a part of scripture, having lies in it, as well as praying for the dead in their books. Shame on you!

@ atheists, agnostics, evolutionists, animists, pantheists, and others:

"The fool says in his heart that there is no God" (Psalm 14:1). Without accepting Christ as your Saviour, you have no way for salvation. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (John 14:6). He is the ONLY road for salvation.

@ everyone:

For anyone who has not been born again spiritually, you need to be. God commands it (John 3:7)! God says that you are without excuse (Romans 1:20); this is why it is imperative that you seek the LORD out NOW. Without repenting and believing in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, when you die, God has to sentence you to hell for all eternity. That is because you refused to accept his free gift of salvation from his Son, Jesus Christ. You cannot balance your good with your bad; any good judge would still have to sentence you in a court of law, whether you believe it or not. God does the same thing. Heed this warning! Get saved, and praise the LORD. Amen.

"There is a generation that is pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness" (Proverbs 30:12).

"There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death" (Proverbs 14:12).

"...except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish" (Luke 13:3).

P.S. I love each and every one of you, and I want to see you all in heaven, so please heed this warning.

Smoking Pot is a Sin!

"Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation." (Romans 13:1-2)

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:" (1 Peter 5:8)

"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit; which are God's." (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)

"Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work..." (Titus 3:1)

STOP:

1.) Smoking pot
2.) Getting drunk
3.) Having sex outside of marriage
4.) Lusting after one another
5.) Lying
6.) Being proud
7.) Backbiting
8.) Gambling
9.) Blaspheming
10.) Hating One Another = Being Murderers

TURN TO CHRIST! REPENT YE, AND BELIEVE IN THE GOSPEL!

Only One Road for Salvation

Who is good?
"As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one." - Romans 3:10-12

Who has sinned?
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" - Romans 3:23

"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" - Romans 5:12

What is the eternal cost of your sin?
"For the wages of sin is death..." - Romans 6:23

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men..." - Romans 1:18

You cannot save yourself.
"Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight..." - Romans 3:20

"Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith." - Romans 3:27

God's love has provided the way! 
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." - Romans 5:8-9

You must place your complete faith in Jesus Christ.
"Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?" - Romans 2:4

"Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe..." - Romans 3:22

"Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law." - Romans 3:28

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." - Romans 10:9

Do you believe that Jesus Christ alone can save you?
The Bible states, "And being fully persuaded that, what he (God) had promised, he was able also to perform." - Romans 4:21

Here is God's promise to you:
"...if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:" - Romans 4:24-5:1

Pray now and ask him to save you!
"For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." - Romans 10:10

If you will accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, please pray this prayer or one similar to it with all your heart, and confess it with your tongue: Dear Heavenly Father, I know I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus died for my sin. I am willing to turn from sin. I now ask Jesus Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Savior. I am willing, by God's grace, to follow and obey Christ as the Lord of my heart and life. Amen.

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." - Romans 10:13

Why fear the LORD?
"There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. - Luke 16:22-28

My friends, there is not one word of HOPE in the Bible for someone in hell! NOT ONE WORD! The rich man in hell in Luke 16 never even asks to get out — He knew there was no way out!

Just look how the Bible warns of the eternity and permanence of hell!
everlasting fire — Matthew 18:8, 25:41
everlasting punishment — Matthew 25:46
everlasting chains — Jude 1:6
eternal damnation — Mark 3:29
eternal judgment — Hebrews 6:2
eternal fire — Jude 1:7
unquenchable fire — Matthew 3:12
the fire that never shall be quenched — Mark 9:43, 44, 45, 46, 48
fire unquenchable — Luke 3:17
mist of darkness is reserved forever — 2 Peter 2:17
the blackness of darkness forever — Jude 1:13

Psalm 9:17 warns us that not only will you be in hell, but you will literally BE hell!

"The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God." - Psalm 9:17

The Bible describes hell as weeping (Matt 8:12), wailing (Matt 13:42), gnashing of teeth (Matt 13:50), darkness (Matt 25:30), flames (Luke 16:24), burning (Isa 33:14), torments (Luke 16:23), everlasting punishment! Jesus Christ says in Matthew 25:41, "Depart from me, ye cursed, into EVERLASTING FIRE, prepared for the devil and his angels.

Who is going to hell?
Many people are going to hell.
"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." - Matthew 7:13-14

"And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." - Revelation 20:15

That means that if you have not been born again, you need to repent, believe that Jesus Christ is the Lord, and confess it with your mouth and heart that he is the way, the truth, and the life. He is the ONLY hope for your salvation.

Guys, I am not judging you. I am warning you about the wrath to come if you do not get saved. The Holy Bible says that when you are absent from the body, you are present with the LORD. That means that every person, righteous/wicked will be before the judgment seat of Christ when they die. I am here telling you to repent and get saved because I love you. God judges us by His word:

"He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day." - John 12:48 

I hope that some of you that read this will get saved. Also, if you have any questions, comments, doubts, or arguments, just say it. God bless. :-)
