Our Defense Of The Gospel Will Be Vindicated

2nd Thessalonians 1:6-10, “Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.”

I have been horribly persecuted, ostracized and kicked out of numerous churches over the years because of my truth-telling website ministry. John the Baptist wasn't murdered for preaching the Gospel, but for preaching against Herod's sin of adultery with his brother's wife. Wicked sinners will despise and hate us when we Biblically stand for what is true and righteous. This is what the Bible means in 2nd Timothy 3:12-13, “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.”

My worst enemies over the past 24 years of website ministry have been church people, particularly Baptist pastors, not the heathen world as you might expect. Go figure. Satan has successfully crept into over 95% of churches, Bible colleges, rescue missions and parachurch ministries with a false gospel of partial faith in Christ plus works. I cringe when I hear these ungodly false prophets teaching that more than faith in the Gospel is necessary to get to Heaven.

Case in point is Unshackled! radio broadcast nationwide from Chicago by Pacific Garden Mission since 1950. They were doctrinally sound in the old days when Harry Saulnier (1902-1990) directed the rescue mission, but since his graduation to Heaven ungodly neo-evangelicals have taken over the mission and run it into the ground, now preaching the Devil's fraud of Lordship Salvation. According to Unshackled! you must make Jesus “Lord” of your life to live for and serve Him, and turn away from your sinful behavior, and leave the old worldly ways behind permanently, and you must become a follower of Christ, all to be saved. But dear reader, you won't find any of that nonsense in the inspired King James Bible.

I could show you the same toxic tommyrot being taught today at Pensacola Christian College (PCC). I could show you the same demonic garbage being preached at every church in Pensacola that is affiliated with PCC, including the following corrupt disgraceful churches:

• Campus Church at PCC (Pastor Jeff Redlin)
• Family Baptist Church (Pastor Brad Moffett)
• Smyrna Baptist Church (Pastor Bill Adams)
• Fairfield Drive Baptist Church (Pastor Josh Thompson)

And there are many more, but I have personally attended these religious cults and met their incompetent pastors who preach another gospel (Galatians 1:6-7). All of these churches have thrown me under the bus, persecuting and hurting me, simply because I TOLD THE TRUTH and they counted me as their enemy.

The Apostle Paul suffered the same woeful persecution and rejection from churchgoers. Galatians 4:16-17, “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.” Yes, Paul, they do count you as their enemy, just as I have been labeled as the enemy and a troublemaker by evil incompetent pastors and their ungodly wives.

I am comforted by what the Apostle Paul said in 2nd Thessalonians 1:6-7a, “Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.” These corrupt churches and PCC religious school have not obeyed the Gospel; but rather, they have perverted it.

Not one verse in the inspired King James Bible teaches that to get to Heaven you must repent “of your sins” or turn away from past sinful ways (works). These are arrogant men, wicked clergy who have deliberately rejected the truth in order to keep their own manmade traditions (Mark 7:7-9). Jonah 3:10, “And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.” Please notice two truths in the preceding Bible passage:

1. God saw their WORKS, that the Ninevites turned from their evil way. Being willing to turn from one's sins is a self-righteous work, not grace (Romans 4:4, “Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.”)
2. God repented. If repentance means to turn from sin, then how could God repent since He is incapable of being tempted or doing evil (James 1:13)? Biblically, to “repent” simply means “to change your mind,” nothing more. God changed His mind not to destroy Nineveh. The Assyrians didn't get saved, they just experienced moral reform for a time.

God the Father solemnly promises that someday in the likely near future when His only begotten Son returns, this world will be judged. That judgment includes all of the ungodly neo-evangelical pastors today who pervert the Gospel, embellishing God's simple plan of salvation to add more than the Scripture requires to be saved.

In the inspired Word of God we find a man asking: “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” in Acts 16:30b. Paul and Silas directly answered his question in Acts 16:21b, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.” No one told the Roman jailer to—repent of his sins, become a Christ follower, live a lifestyle of continually turning from his sins, faithfully run the Christian race, make Jesus “Lord” of his life, get water baptized, speak in tongues, surrender all, reform, prove the genuineness of his faith by living a changed life, publicly confess the name of Jesus—nor anything else that wicked preachers keep adding to God's simple plan of salvation.

Jesus plainly said in John 6:47, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” As I type, I am banned from attending the aforementioned churches in Pensacola by their wicked pastors. One day the tables will be turned. One day my Bible preaching will be vindicated. I have done nothing wrong to harshly rebuke these foolish pastors for joining together against the Gospel. Titus 1:13, “This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith.”

Proverbs 16:5, “Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.” I eagerly await the day of reckoning in the afterlife, when God reprimands these wicked pastors in my presence, and exonerates my Bible preaching against them, putting those wicked pastors to utter shame for perverting the Gospel. They will reap what they have sown (Galatians 6:7).

1st Corinthians 15:1-4 defines “the gospel” as three things:

1. Jesus DIED on a cross for our sins.
2. He was BURIED.
3. Jesus RESURRECTED from the dead three days later.

That is the GOOD NEWS (Glad Tidings, Gospel) by which all who believe it are saved. 

We are all guilty sinners (Romans 3:10-23). There is a penalty for our sin, to spend eternity burning in the fires of Hell (Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:11-15). That is the Bad News!

The Good News is that Jesus Christ died in your place on Calvary's cross 2,000 years ago, paying a debt He did not owe because you owed a debt you could not pay. The moment that you believe this Good News, Jesus (who is God) reads your mind and He saves you. Nothing more is required or allowed to be saved. Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” You need to simply believe that Jesus did it all for you.

Woe unto those false prophets who preach another gospel, damning men's souls to the eternal Lake of Fire. God promises to avenge us against those who trouble us with a counterfeit gospel. Galatians 1:7b, “there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.” The LORD promises to avenge us as truth-telling believers against those lying false prophets who have wronged, persecuted and kicked us out of their churches for being honest. Proverbs 12:17, “He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.”

All Biblical Promises Are Fulfilled In Christ

2nd Corinthians 1:19-22, “For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea. For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.”

The intriguing phrase “For all the promises of God in him are yea” means that every promise that God the Father has made is affirmed and fulfilled in Jesus Christ. This emphasizes the truth that through Christ, believers can confidently say “Amen” to all of the Bible's promises, giving glory to the eternal Godhead.

The following quote is taken from the Introduction to Dr. Herbert Lockyer's (1886-1984) timeless Christian classic (published in 1962), All The Promises Of The Bible:

“It has been computed that there are 30,000 Bible promises. No indication is given as to how this colossal number is reached. Altogether, there are 31,173 verses making up the Bible; 23,214 verses compromising the Old Testament, and 7,959 — the New Testament. Doubtless this total of verses gave rise to the 30,000 — every verse being a promise.

The magazine Time, of December 4, 1956, carried an item to the effect that schoolteacher Everet R. Storms, of Kitchener, Canada, reckoned the 30,000 figure to be off the mark. During his 27th reading of the Bible, this devout student tried to tally up the promises, a task which took him a year and a half. Storms [Everett R. Storms] came up with 7,487 promises by God to man, 2 by God the Father to God the Son, 991 by one man to another (such as the servants who promised to interpret king Nebuchadnezzar's dream), 290 by man to God, 21 promises were made by angels, one by man to an angel, and two were made by an evil spirit to the Lord. Satan made nine, as when he promised the world to Christ if He would fall down and worship him. Storms then gives us the grant total of 8,810 promises.

Scattered throughout the Bible are hundreds of definite explicit promises forming the category Peter names as "the exceeding great and precious promises" (II Peter 1:4).”

There are in fact 31,102 verses in the King James Bible! I don't know what Bible Dr. Lockyer used (I hope a King James Bible), but nevertheless, many websites are repeating faulty statistics. It could likely be that he relied on faulty data. Nevertheless, the subject at hand is the PROMISES OF GOD. Wow! 7,487 promises made by God to man. Isn't God a good God!!! We are so undeserving. God didn't have to make us even one promise, but He did.

No one wants to see us happy and blessed any more than God does (Romans 8:32). It's hard to grasp the reality of God's goodness sometimes in this dark and miserable world of sin. People have waxed worse and worse just as the Bible said. But if we set our affection on things above instead of the things of the earth as Colossians 3:2 commands, then we can have cheer (John 16:33), and joy, and comfort in the PROMISES OF GOD.

My friend, we must anchor ourselves to the PROMISES of God to endure these dark times. That's the only way to make it. Jesus prophesied that in the end times that people would betray and hate one another, turning them over to the Police State to be afflicted (Matthew 24:9-10). We are certainly living in those days now, and it's undoubtedly only going to get much, much worse.

Their Foot Shall Slide In Due Time

Deuteronomy 32:35, “To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.”

I love and cherish this inspired passage of Old Testament Scripture. You are probably more familiar with Romans 12:19 which quotes this passage, “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” Deuteronomy 32:35a, “To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence...” The LORD forbids us to avenge ourselves.

I humbly believe that this passage is not teaching we shouldn't use the legal system to seek justice if someone wrongs us; but rather, in those quite frequent circumstances where legally there is absolutely nothing we can do. There have been countless times throughout my 59 years of life when people wronged me, hurt my feelings and were unkind toward me, and there was absolutely nothing that I could do to remedy the situation.

That is one thing I have always hated about being only human. It makes us vulnerable, weak and an easy victim. I have often wished that, like the superheroes I idolized as a child and even as an adult (Spiderman, Superman, Batman, Thor, et cetera), I had supernatural powers. I wish I were completely invulnerable so that no human being, no army, no mob of humans, could ever do anything to me. I hate being so weak and vulnerable in this fleshly body.

That being said, God is all-powerful (omnipotent). God can do anything. God is invulnerable. Nobody can do anything to God. I am often amazed as I ponder that the Creator is the good guy, incapable of doing anything wrong or unethical. Deuteronomy 32:35, “To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.” The Word of God teaches that every dog will have his day. That is, nobody ever gets away with evil. One day we will all be held accountable by God for our words and deeds (Hebrews 4:13).

I fear God; most people don't. Hebrews 10:31 says, “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” Sadly, we are living in a wicked generation that doesn't care. If people will fornicate outside of a legally binding marriage, conceive an unwanted child, and then pay an evil doctor money to murder their baby, such ungodly sinners are capable of anything. Should it be surprising that the vast majority of Americans today don't care about their neighbours, and don't care about God's commandments?

Jesus foretold in Matthew 24:12 that “because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” These times are here! We've never seen such wickedness as we do today, when squatters are stealing homeowners houses and there is legally nothing they can do to evict them. There is little justice today! All across the country, punks are vandalizing and stealing from businesses, and they're getting away with their crimes. Where is justice?

Thankfully, the Bible PROMISES that their foot shall slide. Do you have a mean neighbour who is unkind toward you? Their foot shall slide. It's just a matter of time. Genesis 12:3, “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” Many people foolishly think that this passage of Scripture applies to all Jews, but it does not. It applies to every individual Christian, not Jews. Being Jewish means nothing to God because the Lord is NOT a respecter of persons (Romans 2:11). Galatians 3:26-29 teaches that there is neither Jew or Gentile in Christ, we are all one. Zionism is racism! It is wickedness for American Christians to side with Israel over Palestine, when 98% of both Jews and Arabs reject Jesus as the Messiah.

Our part as believers is to continue having faith in God (Mark 11:22). Our part is to continue doing what is right, though the stars fall. We are now living in a sad time when nobody cares anymore. I filed a complaint in May of 2026 with The Office Of The Attorney General in Tallahassee, Florida, against the local Better Business Bureau (BBB) in Pensacola for mistreating me as a senior citizen with disabilities.

The Office Of The Attorney General wouldn't even respond. So, I kindly mailed them a letter with a gospel tract. The top woman in charge called and told me that she only has 7 employees and receives over 400 complaints per day at their office. She promised me a response the next day, twice, but no one ever bothered to respond. They just don't give a damn! Nobody cares at The Office Of The Attorney General. That is really pathetic!

Everywhere that I go today, whether it be walking my dog, going to McDonald's, or shopping at Walmart, people just don't care. Some people are lunatics about anybody leaving the sidewalk and strolling onto their property. Put up a damn fence if you're that paranoid! Their foot shall slide in due time. You cannot be a miser and mistreat your neighbours and escape God's wrath. The Lord sees how people treat others, and He will judge everyone in eternity.

Some people love honking their horns at others. I was leaving Walmart yesterday evening and the vehicle, a pickup truck, in front of me just sat there when they light turned green. You know as well as I do that 99% of people would have honked their horn, and about 25% would have laid on the horn in anger. I just sat there and never touched my horn. I love doing that! I love showing grace, patience and mercy. I had already decided years ago that I will NEVER honk my horn again at any driver. I would have sat there until the light turned red, and then green again. After two or three cycles of the traffic light, only then would I move around the stalled vehicle, but I would NEVER touch that horn. I hate when drivers blare their horn at others!

American society today is a giant mousetrap! Many people are angry, stressed out, frustrated and ready to snap. I have met them too many times, and I want nothing to do with any of it. That is why increasingly I am just staying home. Let the world destroy themselves! People nowadays have become so horrible, mean, selfish, uncaring and rotten.

I see attorney billboards all around Pensacola encouraging people to sue others for money. It is sickening! I saw a disgusting Morgan & Morgan lawyer advertisement on the side of a public transportation bus, with a man lying on an inflatable raft sipping a fancy drink in a large swimming pool. The implied message was clear that if you sue the right person with deep pockets you can retire early. This is why so many people hate greedy lawyers! Their foot shall slide in due time. You cannot go around financially preying upon people during the darkest hours of their life, and escape the wrath and judgment of God.

The inspired Word of God promises that those who harm, persecute, upset and discourage God's children, their foot shall slide in due time, when sudden calamity comes upon them. 

Ecclesiastes 8:12-13, “Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him: But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.”

Let God Fight Your Battles

Exodus 14:14, “The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”

When I attended Hyles-Anderson College (1985-1993) to train to be a preacher, Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) told us preacher boys, “Fellas it's a jungle out there!” Jesus said something similar to His own disciples in Matthew 10:16, “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” Dear reader, the world hasn't changed over the past 2,000 years. Society is a pack of wolves!

When a professed Christian sins and does wrong, there are always some evil people who relish the chance to destroy that person's name and life by spreading the bad news to everyone they can. What saith the Scripture? Proverbs 11:9, “An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.” No one is any less a sinner than anyone else! Don't judge others because they sin differently than you do.

In Matthew 7:1-5, Jesus warned that someone who condemns someone else for the toothpick in their eye, has a beam in their own eye. Parading someone else's sins to condemn them makes you the worse sinner! I'm not talking about the Bible preacher who exposes evil. I'm talking about condemning someone on a personal level for their sins. We ought not do that. Those who have followed my website ministry at Jesus-is-Savior.com for any portion of the past 24 years, knows that I never condemn anyone for their personal sins. I preach against false doctrines, public sin and wickedness, counterfeit gospels, government corruption, and bad pastors who shame the cause of Jesus Christ.

I learned a long time ago that God fights my battles as His child. Matthew 25:40, “And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” God has always fought on behalf of His children. Exodus 14:14, “The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.” I admit that have a hard part holding my peace. That's a challenge sometimes. God wants us not to retaliate against those who hurt us, and that can be difficult.

Jesus in The Beatitudes teaches us how to honor our heavenly Father. Matthew 5:43-45, “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.”

This passage is not talking about the new birth. We can be saved simply by taking God's free gift of eternal life on faith, trusting in His only begotten Son. This passage is talking about exemplifying our heavenly Father, living in such a way that we bring glory to God. Jesus points out that God the Father is good to the good and the evil, as far as sinners go. Although we are all guilty sinners in God's sight, I think most people are inherently good. That is, most people have some sinful bad habits, but they don't desire to hurt anybody. God is good to everyone, even to evil people, and He wants us to follow His example.

The Lord wants us as His children to do good to those who hate us, love them that hurt us, pray for those who despitefully use us, and bless them who curse us.

Pastor Steven Anderson tells everyone through his unbiblical preaching “Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.” The Lord denounced that unbiblical type of terrible mentality. Steven Anderson is a modern-day Pharisee! Jesus continues, “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; “That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.”

Sadly, what the New Independent Fundamental Baptist (New IFB) movement preach does not match what Jesus taught. According to the New IFB (which movement Steven Anderson started in 2006 with his Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Arizona), we're supposed to love each other as Christians, but vehemently hate the LGBTQ+ community, and wish them dead. If you don't believe me, just go search online for what Steven Anderson and Jonathan Shelley preach. That is not biblical Christianity!

Jesus said that we should be as wise as serpents, but as harmless as doves. Christians should be peacemakers, not haters of people. I decided a long time ago not to attack my enemies. God promises to fight my battles, and to avenge all evil (Romans 12:19-21). If you are saved, then you belong to God. When someone attacks us, they are attacking the Lord. May we all learn to trust in the Lord to guide, defend and help us through life's battles.

Romans 8:26 - God's Promise To Help Us Pray

Romans 8:26-28, “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”

I cherish this promise from God. I am reminded of this Scripture passage often. In Romans 8:26 God promises that “the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” The good LORD knows that we cannot see what goes on in the spiritual world (Ephesians 6:10-12). When Daniel prayed, he later learned from the angel sent to help him, that demonic forces hindered Daniel's answer to prayer. ...

Daniel 10:12-13, “Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.”

This passage of Scripture teaches us that when we pray, the spiritual gears start turning. You're never wasting your time when you pray. If you believe that the King James Bible is verbally (Word for Word) inspired by God, then you must concede that God cares about you (1st Peter 5:7-8). You must concede that God is faithful (1st Corinthians 1:9). You must concede that God is good to all (Psalms 145:9).

Saints Walk By Faith, Not By Sight

I used to get frustrated when I prayed because I didn't see visible results right away. But then I read one day in the Word of God from 2nd Corinthians 5:7, “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” If we pray and look for results, we are walking by sight. That simply doesn't work friend. It disturbs me when I read about stuff like this—heathens putting God on trial. ...

Prayers Don't Help Heart Surgery Patients; Some Fare Worse When Prayed For 

Harvard University | April 3, 2006 

So far, two studies found that third-party prayers bestow benefits, but two others concluded that there are no benefits. Now, the largest study to date, covering 1,800 people who underwent coronary bypass surgery at six different hospitals, supported the latter research.

Many — if not most people — believe that prayer will help you through a medical crisis such as heart bypass surgery. If a large group of people outside yourself, your family, and your friends joined in intercessory prayer, that should be even more helpful, so such reasoning goes.

Researchers have been trying to prove this and even to measure the effect. So far, two studies found that third-party prayers bestow benefits, but two others concluded that there are no benefits. Now, the largest study to date, covering 1,800 people who underwent coronary bypass surgery at six different hospitals, supported the latter research.

Not only that, but patients who knew that others were praying for them fared worse than those who did not receive such spiritual support, or who did but were not aware of it. SOURCE

Do you really think that you can test God like you would a engine's horsepower? Dear reader, God is not a vending machine or an ATM where you insert some cash or a card, push some buttons, and get a response. The heathen people who did this test clearly do not have any faith in God. They do not fear their Creator. People with faith don't need to test God.

My mother used to say that God works in mysterious ways. That is, they are mysterious to us because God thinks and works differently than we do. Isaiah 55:8-9, “ For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” The most foolish and vain thing you will ever do is to attempt to figure out God. Don't bother trying dear friend, because the LORD's ways are beyond human understanding. The Holy Bible is full of amazing true stories of how God beautifully worked from behind the scenes in ways that no one suspected. The intriguing stories of Joseph, Moses and Esther are perfect examples.

Jesus told us in Mark 11:22b, “Have faith in God.” That's good enough for me. The Word of God says we walk by FAITH as God's redeemed children, not by SIGHT as the world does. I have heard fools all my life challenge God, demanding some type of visible proof before they will believe the Holy Bible. But dear reader, the only evidence they will ever receive from God is the same evidence that was given to the rich's man's five living brothers....

Luke 16:28-31, “For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.”

Pray And Then Just Trust The Good And Faithful Lord

When I pray these days, I just make my requests known unto God and then I forget about them. Whether God answers in an obvious visible way, or He quietly works behind the scenes, or not at all, is none of my business. My simple part is to trust the Lord and lean not upon my own understanding. Proverbs 3:5-7, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.” I think most of us pass over that part about not leaning “unto thine own understanding,” which is why so many people get discouraged when they pray and things don't happen the way they want.

Learn to simply pray and then wait upon the LORD. Did you know that “God” is not mentioned even one time in the entire book of Esther? It's true. Neither will you find the word “Lord.” Yet, throughout all ten chapters we beautifully see the mighty omnipotent, omnipresent, omnisapient, omnibenevolent and omniscient hand of God at work in the lives of His dear saints. The lesson is this: When you cannot see the HAND of God at work, trust the great HEART of God.

God has made a wonderful promise in Romans 8:26 that the indwelling Holy Spirit (which every born again believer has living inside their body, soul and spirit) maketh INTERCESSION for us. God cares more than you or I could ever comprehend. Since we live in a fallen world, we have to suffer like everyone else does (Romans 5:12; Ecclesiastes 9:11). Sometimes good things happen to bad people, and vise versa. Life is not fair! Life is a veil of tears. But dear reader, God is fair. God is faithful. God is just. I cannot explain it in lieu of this world's horrific suffering, but I believe the inspired Word of God.

I have confirmed from various sources the tragic fact, that every day in this broken world approximately 25,000 people die of starvation or related issues due to a lack of proper nutrition. That's 25,000 deaths each and every single day! The country of India is the second largest producer of food on the planet, and yet India is the third leading country with deaths from starvation. Go figure! The causes are greedy, poverty, lack of infrastructure, logistics and corruption, to name but a few reasons. So sad! That is not God's fault. The LORD is not to blame for the evil ways of mankind. The haves don't care about the have nots, just like in the United States today. Homelessness and poverty is an epidemic across America.

I find great comfort in knowing that the Holy Spirit is constantly looking out for me, praying on my behalf to the heavenly Father. Romans 8:26b plainly says “for we know not what we should pray for as we ought.” The Bible doesn't say that some saints don't know what to pray for, it says NONE of us know what to pray for. How can we since we cannot see the unseen world? I'll be the first to admit that I sure don't know what to ask Go for, and that is what prayer is, asking. This passage goes perfectly with another Scripture passage...

Philippians 4:6-7, “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

When you trust God because of WHO HE IS, instead of focusing upon prayer as some type of beneficial therapy as the heathen world does (Matthew 6:7-8), only then will you begin to blindly trust the faithful LORD in all situations. Job 13:15, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.” The only way that you can claim the peace of God WHICH PASSETH ALL UNDERSTANDING is you'll have to trust that God is wise, caring and powerful enough to handle your prayer requests.

Forget about focusing on your prayer life, and instead start focusing on God's goodness and faithfulness to keep His promises.

God's Promise Of Peace For Those Who Trust Him

Isaiah 26:3-4, “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.”

The Hebrew word for “stayed” in Isaiah 26:3 is samak which means “to lean upon or take hold.” Proverbs 3:5-7, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.”

The inspired Holy Bible promises peace to those who trust upon the Lord. John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” The world's peace is rooted in money, acceptance by peers and security. But these things are only temporal. The peace that Jesus gives transcends the material world. That is why Paul and Silas could sing spiritual hymns while shackled in ankle irons and chains in prison awaiting execution.

God's Promise To Always Preserve The Earth

Ecclesiastes 1:4, “One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.”

I hear countless people on social media worrying (inspired by such popular movies as Deep Impact and Armageddon) about an asteroid ending life on earth (aka, "E. L. E." - an Extinction Level Event), et cetera. The child of God fully understands that God is in ultimate control and we have nothing to fear. The inspired Word of God promises that the earth will exist forever.

God's Promise To Send Strong Delusion

2nd Thessalonians 2:8-12, “And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

I humbly believe that this passage of Scripture means God doesn't want anyone getting saved after the fact, that is, after they know what the truth is. When they were living for the pleasures of sin, they refused to heed the Gospel to be saved; but when the Tribulation comes and the truth becomes quite evident, it will be too late for them. God promises to send STRONG DELUSION to ensure that those wicked sinners don't get saved.

Please don't misunderstand, God does want sinners to get saved. 2nd Peter 3:9, “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

This interesting passage of Scripture reveals God's mindset in salvation. The LORD wants every human being to come JUST AS I AM without one plea, as a guilty needy sinner deserving of eternal damnation in Hell, to be saved through faith alone in Jesus Christ. Salvation is simply a matter of believing that Jesus did it all for you through Calvary's cross.

The inspired King James Bible warns that love for sinning hinders a person from getting saved. God's wants us to acknowledge THE TRUTH (which is repentance) to admit that we are a SINNER and Jesus is the only SAVIOR. Many preachers make the fatal mistake of thinking that being willing to turn away from your sins is the antithesis of John 3:20, “For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.” This verse plainly tells us that a person's love for sinning prevents that individual from coming to the light of the truth of the Gospel to be saved. This is why Jesus said in John 5:40, “And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.” Jesus did not say “ye cannot,” He said “ye will not come.”

What every corrupt neo-evangelical and neo-fundamentalist pastor ignores is John 3:21, “But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” Carefully notice that the Bible doesn't say, “But he that is willing to turn from his sin” cometh to the light. No. The Bible doesn't say, “But he that repents of his sin” cometh to the light. Nope. The Bible doesn't say, “But he that follows Christ cometh to the light.” No. The Bible simply says, “But he that doeth truth cometh to the light.” The opposite of doing evil is not turning from it; the opposite of doing evil is doing truth (that is, obeying the truth of the Gospel by believing it).

2nd Timothy 2:25, “In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth.” I love that phrase—REPENTANCE TO THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE TRUTH!!! That is what repentance is dear reader—to simply acknowledge THE TRUTH that you are a guilty SINNER, and Jesus is the only SAVIOR. Repentance means to change your mind—that’s what believing is. In salvation, you have turned from your sin of unbelief to trust Christ.

Now is the time to get saved dear friend while you still can. The LORD frowns upon those who refuse to heed the Gospel in fair weather. If you wait until the Rapture comes, and you are left behind, you may find yourself out of luck. The Scripture warns that God is going to send STRONG DELUSION, and the Bible tells us exactly why. It is because when those sinners had the opportunity to get saved, they chose their sinful lifestyles over cometh to the truth of the Gospel to be saved. The problem was never that they needed to turn away from their sinning. No Sir! That is the counterfeit plan of salvation that most churches are propagating today.

The issue is that they refused to repent TOWARD GOD (Acts 20:21), to simply admit that they were guilty needy sinners and believe upon the name of the only begotten Son of God, the Christ (John 20:31). I am alarmed that I increasingly hear bad preachers embellishing the Greek meaning of the noun (metanoia) “repent” in the New Testament. The word just means “a change of mind,” nothing more. It doesn't mean “a change of mind resulting in a change of behavior,” which is what they wickedly teach at Pensacola Christian College (PCC).

In fact, the Greek word metanoia (repent) doesn't even tell us what to change our mind about. So, we need supplemental information! That extra information can only be determined by a particular Scripture passage. For example: I quoted 2nd Timothy 2:25 to you a moment ago. Here it is again. 2nd Timothy 2:25, “In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth.” In this text the Bible makes it clear that we are to change our mind to acknowledge “the truth.” The Greek word for “acknowledge” is epignosis which means “recognition, that is, full discernment.” No man can believe the truth to be saved until he first has and accepts the truth. Bible repentance is changing our mind to accept (or recognize) the truth that we are a SINNER and Jesus is the SAVIOR. This has nothing to do with reformation or turning from your sinful ways to get to Heaven. Reformation (a change of behavior) is a work of the indwelling Holy Spirit in the growth of an obedient believer (i.e., sanctification and discipleship, not salvation and sonship).

The Father's Promise To Save Them That Believe

John 3:14-16, “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

I love this passage of inspired Scripture. Here is the Old Testament story, so that you will understand these Bible verses in John chapter three...

Numbers 21:4-9, “And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way. And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?  for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread. And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us.  And Moses prayed for the people. And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.”

So, we learn that the Jews began to whine and complain. They moaned like big babies for lack of bread and water. After all that God had done for them, they still doubted Him. I mean, the LORD parted the Red Sea right before their very eyes, and they walked across the sea bed on dry ground, seeing the walls of water held back on each side. They saw the entire Egyptian army drowned in the Red Sea when they pursued the Jews. Yet, after beholding these mighty miracles of almighty God, they complained in doubt instead of trusting in faith that God would take care of them. Dear reader, how much do you complain? Do you trust God when things are looking bleak? Do we thank God in every thing?

Jesus Himself uses this illustration from Numbers 21:4-9 to picture getting saved. Due to their complaining, God sent deadly serpents with fiery bites to hurt the people. Although the Bible doesn't tell us the exact number of Hebrews that died, we read in verse 6 that “much people of Israel died.” It is estimated that there were about 600,000 Jews wandering in the Wilderness. I humbly believe the death toll was in the thousands. In response to his prayer, God told Moses to fabricate a serpent made from brass, and to elevate that serpent upon on a tall pole, and instruct the people to LOOK to the serpent and LIVE.

Jesus used this illustration as a beautiful picture of how to be saved. Just as the victims bitten by deadly snakes LOOKED to the brass serpent to LIVE, even so must we guilty sinners LOOK TO JESUS TO LIVE. Isaiah 45:22, “Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.” The Jews were healed when they LOOKED. Dear reader, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of familiarizing yourself with these Bible passages, because in these truths we see the simplicity of God's plan of salvation. LOOK AND LIVE!!!

John 3:14-16, “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

God the Father promises to save any sinner who BELIEVES IN CHRIST.

In nearly every church, rescue mission, military chapel, ministry and Bible college today a counterfeit plan of salvation is being preached.

Here is some of the heretical nonsense that you'll hear in religious circles today:

1. Give your life to Christ
2. Repent of your sins
3. Be willing to turn from sin
4. Invite Jesus into your heart
5. Become a Christ follower
6. Live a lifestyle of repentance
7. Run the race faithfully until the end
8. Endure in holiness until the end
9. Surrender to obey God's will for your life
10. Accept Jesus as your “Lord”
11. Get water baptized
12. Confess the name of Jesus publicly
13. Pray a sinner's prayer
14. Live a changed life
15. Exchange all that you are for all that Christ is, a trade of sorts
16. Become a disciple of Jesus
17. Do many wonderful works in Jesus' name
18. Preach in Jesus' name
19. Serve God diligently
20. Live the Christian life

NONE of these aforementioned things are required to get to Heaven. You may do all of these things and yet never be born again at all, and still miss Heaven.

John 3:3b, 'YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN'!

The only way to be saved is to LOOK TO THE LAMB OF GOD. John 1:29, “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” LOOK AND LIVE dear reader!

God's Promise To Provide For His Children

Philippians 4:19, “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

I remember back in 2016 when Pastor Clarence Sexton (1948-2023) was hounding his members at Temple Baptist Church in Tennessee for $1,000,000 in donations to renovate Crown College. I love Pastor Steven Anderson's sermon titled, "The Bible College Scam."

I don't like it when money becomes such a big issue to covetous pastors that they're continually hounding their people for more, more, more. If your ministry projects are so overly zealous as a pastor, that you have to constantly pressure the saints to “give until it hurts,” you're being unethical and need to back off and get realistic in your plans.

The churches are shrinking while the Bible colleges are growing. I've seen churches where the spirit of the service was killed by a pastor constantly browbeating church members for more money. I love how Faithful Word Baptist Church handles God's money. They don't save any money, they invest all of it each year into their soulwinning ministries. Damn the torpedoes! I've heard Pastor Anderson sarcastically sing, “We'll rent 'til Jesus comes.” I love it!

Jesus Warned No Man Can Serve Two Masters

I love the following passage spoken by Christ Himself, in which He explains that no Christian can pursue money and still at the same time please God...

Matthew 6:24-34, “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”

The reason why 99% of so-called “ministries” today are shallow, dead, doctrinally corrupt and couldn't care less about individual people is because they are serving their bellies (Romans 16:17-18). I'm talking about the cesspool of iniquity at Pensacola Christian College (PCC) and their damnable Lordship Salvation heresy. RIGHT DOCTRINE MATTERS!!!

PCC takes in a disgusting $175,000,000 per year. That's blood money! That's filthy lucre! At PCC the cult system always comes first, but individual people do not matter. They have the letter of the law that killeth, but they do not have the Holy Spirit who giveth life. PCC is a deadly religious cult that I cannot warn you enough to please avoid at all cost.

God has promised to take care of His saints. You don't have to sell out like PCC to the love of money (1st Timothy 6:8-11). You may not become wealthy financially, but God will always provide food and raiment. Philippians 4:19, “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

The Promise Of The Second Death

Revelation 21:7-8, “He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 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.”

The inspired Holy Bible warns that whosoever dies in their sins without having received Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross as full payment for their sins, will burn in Hell forever. This is a PROMISE from God. Please do not make the grave error of thinking that our divine Creator, whose very existence is love, will led you slide at the Great White Throne of Judgment.

God's holiness demands justice, and no amount of His unfeigned love can help you on Judgment Day if you reject His only escape plan, which is through childlike faith in the sacrifice of His only begotten Son 2,000 years ago on Calvary's cross. Jesus paid a debt He did not owe, because we owed a debt of sin we could not pay. Romans 5:9, “Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” It was God's unconditional love for all humanity that compelled Him to send His only begotten Son into the cruel world, to die a criminal's death on a cross, so that we could freely be saved.

My heart break when I think about where Christ-rejecters are today. Fools like Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry (1921-1999), who was an avowed atheist. Creepy singer David Bowie (1947-2016), who died in his Christless Buddhist faith and was given a Buddhist funeral at his own request. Apple founder, Steve Jobs (1955-2011) died in his Buddhist faith. I could name thousands of fools. I didn't call them fools, Jesus Himself did in Luke 24:25, “Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken.”

Dear reader, only a fool is slow to believe the inspired King James Bible. It is God's inspired, eternally preserved, innerant, infallible, holy and incorruptible, pure Words! Jesus said you are a FOOL if you are even slow to believe all that the Word of God proclaims! But you say, “Do you mean to tell me that you actually think a whale swallowed Jonah?” Yes, and I believe Jonah could have swallowed the whale if God deemed it so! There is nothing too hard for God to do!

Astronomers recently discovered using the amazing James Webb Space Telescope, which uses infrared technology operating at near absolute zero temperatures,  that there are at least 2,000,000,000,000 galaxies in the observable universe! And if that isn't astounding enough, thousands of engineers and scientists are now developing the successor to the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which will be called the Habitable Worlds Observation, which is slated to launch in Mat of 2027. In fact, scientists are working on all kinds of future ideas for further space exploration, to learn the secrets of God's amazing universe!

Dear reader, have you been born again? You will never be asked a more important question. It matters not how rich or poor you are in this earthly lifetime. You may be a plumber, or flipping burgers at McDonald's, or a multi-millionaire Hollywood actor, or a successful billionaire businessman, it matters not. Jesus warned in John 3:3b, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” You do have a choice to make, and your eternal happiness and wellbeing 100% depend upon your final decision. What will you do with Jesus Christ? Do you think Jesus was a liar, lunatic or Lord?

By “Lord” I do not mean if you are willing to serve and surrender to obey Him to forsake your sins. That is the Satanic lie of Lordship Salvation which has crept into most church cults today. By “Lord” (Greek: curious), I mean do you believe that Jesus came to earth as God in the flesh? Do you think that Jesus is God's only begotten Son? John 20:31, “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”

God PROMISES eternal life to any admitted guilty sinner who by faith (taking God at His recorded Word in the Holy Bible), accepts Christ's sacrificial death on the cross as full payment for your sins, believing that He was buried, but then miraculously resurrected from the dead three days later. This is “the gospel“” according to 1st Corinthians 15:1-6. Anybody who believes (relies upon, trusts) this “Gospel” (which word means “GOOD NEWS”) is instantly, irrevocably and forever saved and secure in the arms of the everlasting Father. Deuteronomy 33:27, “The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.”

Oh friend, listen to me, the Bible warns that there is a literal physical place called Hell. And there is a literal physical place called Heaven. When Jesus raised up from the dead, He did so in a physical body and was seen by over 500 saints at once time (1st Corinthians 15:6). Jesus physically appears to His disciples after He arose from the grave. And finally, Jesus physically ascended into the air, escorted by angels, and was seen leaving this earth in a visible physical body. There is no reason to speculate that Jesus became a spirit as He ascended into the clouds and perhaps even outer space.

I think it is safe to say that there was a miracle involved, considering that there is no oxygen in outer space and the temperature drops to absolute zero once in deep space (-459.6° F). Just to travel to the nearest star (other than our solar system's own sun), which is Alpha Centauri takes 4.34 light years (that's 25,800,000,000,000 miles). That's just the nearest star next to our own sun. When you look up into the evening sky, the stars you are seeing are an average of 2,000 lightyears away (that's 11,760,000,000,000,000 miles). Psalms 145:3, “Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.”

Please don't end up in the Lake which burneth with fire and brimstone. You may not believe that touching a hot glowing stove burner will hurt you, but I assure you that it will. You may not think that dropping a plugged in 115 volt electric hairdryer or radio into your bathtub will electrocute you, but it absolutely will. If God allows war, pain, torture and inexplicable suffering in this earthly lifetime, what makes you think that He won't in the afterlife?

Revelation 21:7-8, “He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 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.”

To overcome simply means to get born again. We know this, from comparing Scripture with Scripture, which is the proper way to interpret the inspired Holy Scripture. 1st John 5:4-5, “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” Do you believe dear friend that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God, the Christ, God almighty in the flesh? Your eternal destiny depends  upon it.

John 8:24, “I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.” If you have a more expensive quality Bible, the pronoun he is in italics, meaning that it was added by the 54 King James translators for clarity in the English language. Those 54 translators were so honest in their work that they left it up to you dear reader to determine what God meant. So, what Jesus literally said is, “for if ye believe not that I AM, ye shall die in your sins.” That is very interesting. John 8:58, “Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.” Exodus 3:14, “And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.” Jesus was claiming to be God. Don't ever believe any liar who says that Jesus never claimed to be God, because He sure did!

Hell is a literal physical place. If you die in your sins without Christ, you will burn in the Lake of Fire ever without rest, day and night. You won't be given one drop of water (Luke 16:24). If you foolishly think that the story Jesus told in Luke 16:19-31 about the Rich Man And Lazarus, you are greatly mistaken friend. Jesus never called this a parable, which He did when telling parables. Also, Jesus uses proper nouns in this story for Lazars and Moses, which Christ never did when telling parables. Luke 16:19-31 is a literal account of something that happened. Jesus said in John 14:2b, “if it were not so, I would have told you.” Jesus said what He meant, and He meant what He said. If Christ did otherwise, He would have been a wicked deceiver! Hell is a very real place of torment, pain, regret, misery and fire. The great news is that if you are reading this it is still not too late for you to be saved.
