  • Bachmann's Potential Run Stirs Conservative Debate

    You also forget WHY so many are against Huckabee now - HE BAILED ON US. If he had stayed in the race he would have WON, not Obama. No, I'm not going to trust him again. Bachmann/Palin in 2012.

  • Mark Driscoll Responds to Rob Bell Controversy on Hell

    The Bible Describes Hell, pretty clearly: There are three words translated “Hell” in Scripture: Gehenna (Greek): The place of punishment (Matthew 5:22,29; 10:28; and James 3:6) Hades (Greek): The abode of the dead (Matthew 11:23; 16:18; Luke 16:23; Acts 2:27) Sheol (Hebrew): The grave (Psalm 9:17; 16:10) There are those who accept that Hell is a place of punishment, but believe that the...more

    The Bible Describes Hell, pretty clearly:
    There are three words translated “Hell” in Scripture:
    Gehenna (Greek): The place of punishment (Matthew 5:22,29; 10:28; and James 3:6)
    Hades (Greek): The abode of the dead (Matthew 11:23; 16:18; Luke 16:23; Acts 2:27)
    Sheol (Hebrew): The grave (Psalm 9:17; 16:10)

    There are those who accept that Hell is a place of punishment, but believe that the punishment is to be annihilated—to cease conscious existence. They can’t conceive that the punishment of the wicked will be conscious and eternal. If they are correct, then a man like Adolph Hitler, who was responsible for the deaths of millions, is being “punished” merely with eternal sleep. His fate is simply to return to the non-existent state he was in before he was born, where he doesn’t even know that he is being punished.

    However, Scripture paints a different story. The rich man who found himself in Hell (Luke 16:19-31) was conscious. He was able to feel pain, to thirst, and to experience remorse. He wasn’t asleep in the grave; he was in a place of “torment.” If Hell is a place of knowing nothing or a reference to the grave into which we go at death, Jesus’ statements about Hell make no sense. He said that if your hand, foot, or eye causes you to sin, it would be better to remove it than to “go into Hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched” (Mark 9:43-48).

    The Bible refers to the fate of the unsaved with such fearful words as the following:

    * “Shame and everlasting contempt” (Daniel 12:2)
    * “Everlasting punishment” (Matthew 25:46)
    * “Weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 24:51)
    * “Fire unquenchable” (Luke 3:17)
    * “Indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish” (Romans 2:8,9)
    * “Everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord” (2 Thessalonians 1:9)
    * “Eternal fire...the blackness of darkness for ever” (Jude 7,13)

    Revelation 14:10,11 tells us the final, eternal destiny of the sinner: “He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone...the smoke of their torment ascended up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day or night."

    The Bible answers this definitively: "But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” Rev. 21:8

    Your problem, Will Robinson, is that you confuse condemnation and judgment, just like we all do that desire to continue to sin. Will you allow your sin to keep you from obeying God? Take the test and evaluate yourself by GOD's STANDARD: http:.//HowWillYouDo.org Until then know this: All sexual deviates with no sin payment will be CAST into Hell by God Himself.

  • Influential Evangelical: Mideast Uprisings Violate Biblical Command

    John MacArthur is, of course, making a fatal error in Biblical interpretation to assume God says that ALL governments are to be submitted to, no matter HOW evil. What is happening in Egypt is a mistake of monumental proportions, for multiple reasons, but objecting to a dictator is not necessarily against Biblical mandates. Remember, we interpret ALL Scripture with ALL of Scripture; You cannot pick...more

    John MacArthur is, of course, making a fatal error in Biblical interpretation to assume God says that ALL governments are to be submitted to, no matter HOW evil. What is happening in Egypt is a mistake of monumental proportions, for multiple reasons, but objecting to a dictator is not necessarily against Biblical mandates. Remember, we interpret ALL Scripture with ALL of Scripture; You cannot pick and choose. And it is clear from Scripture that we MUST oppose those who do evil. To say otherwise is ABSURD, and lends illogical and Un-Biblical credence to the Hitlers, Stalins and other despots like them in this world.
    No, we are to SEEK the Lost AND Resist evil. I mean, what part of "do good" means to not defend the weak from those who would oppress them?
    Seriously John?

    "befriending neighbors and establishing relationships" Sounds so great doesn't it? But where did Jesus tell us to do 'friendship evangelism'? Did Jesus not rather tell us to go and preach the Gospel to all? Just how many times have you told the Gospel to a non-believer through 'Friendship Evangelism?' Not many if at all right?

    "befriending neighbors and establishing relationships" Sounds so great doesn't it? But where did Jesus tell us to do 'friendship evangelism'? Did Jesus not rather tell us to go and preach the Gospel to all? Just how many times have you told the Gospel to a non-believer through 'Friendship Evangelism?' Not many if at all right?
    I know "Loving your neighbor" is the end goal but what kind of love is it to let someone live another day without telling them they face Hell for their Law violations? But is the Golden Rule what the new commandment Jesus gave His Disciples? Or did he Instead command us to love as He has loved US? That's a VERY different prospect, isn't it?

    Face the possibility of persecution, rejection and even death, like often happens in India and Pakistan, and TELL THE TRUTH. DON'T WAIT for those you desire to be saved to be "friends" with first! Don't be so SELFISH!
    It is the goodness of God that leads men to repentance. Be His Disciple and love them enough to face 'come what may' to tell them how they can be rescued, like you. Stop being so afraid.

    Tell them how they will do on Judgment Day without Jesus:; Go to http://HowWillYouDo.org and find out for yourself.

    If you are not sure you know how to share your faith Biblically and effectively, the Way Jesus did and taught, go to http://WayoftheMaster.com and LEARN.
    If you think you are a good person then I have to ask, "Are you good enough to go to Heaven?" You'd better go here and take this test: http://www.TheGoodPersontest.com

    Time is short, Christian, don't WASTE it. Seek the LOST while you still can!

    Ted Haggard has proven to be unacceptable for ministry, uninterested in addressing the matters that brought him to where he was publicly disgraced and must be rejected by Christians worldwide as outside the body for his continued advocacy of un-Biblical practices.

    We don't "follow the teachings of Jesus" we know Him personally. There is no rejecting a Merciful and loving God. Those you have described never knew Him to do those heinous things. You are mistaken.
