Do Not Deceive Anyone
Thanks and praise to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
We all would like to think that every soul will go to Heaven. But that truly is not the case and it is stated that way in the Bible. We must not let those who do not believe in Jesus Christ think that they will make it to Heaven. It is our responsibility to not imply that everything is OK just because someone is a friend or a good person. Do not trivialize the importance of Jesus Christ for He is the only way. We must be willing to speak the truth, not only for their sake but for ours also. Because the Lord will hold us responsible. Yes it is true, anyone who does not believe in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will go to hell. I do not assume that I can judge anyone. I know very well that it is not I but Christ who will do that. So do not get your feelings hurt on my account. It is not I that came up with this or made it up. It is in the Holy Bible. Some go through life day in and day out not knowing what they are headed for. And to this I am sincerely troubled. I fear the wrath of God. I can not begin to imagine what that would be like. I do know that any trouble that we have gone through here on earth will be pale in comparison to it. There are a lot of people that claim to be ordained to preach the gospel yet some just tell you what you want to hear and that in itself is a sin. If they are truly ordained to preach the gospel then hell is in that teaching. Read the passage from The Holy Bible kjv below carefully. I want to be clear that this is not coming from me but from Gods' Word.
1 Corinthians 6:1-10
1: Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
2: 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?
3: Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
4: If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
5: 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?
6: But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
7: Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
8: Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
9: Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10: Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
