Going Through Hell?

I read most of Thus Spake Zarathustra, and while there is always some truth to be gleaned from the devil’s dictionary, it always left me short in the compassion department…This guy’s got some nuts, himself, to give a dose of man’s medicine to the battery of wimps that find find refuge by running from the scary demons that have no power over those who stand fast with the sword of truth and righteousness, with the power of Christ…..in their hands and hearts.
That’s always the devils way, take a little truth and mix in a mess of lies, and get people to believe it….that’s why his name means deceiver.. and all the evil in the world is because of his lying hands…on our hearts and souls, and minds.

Hope is essential. Belief in the promises of God. Faith in the Lord Jesus. Along with his unending Grace. Eternal life is the reward for the Solder of God. So suit up Ladies and Gentleman and prepare to do battle.

2 Timothy 4:2-5
Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead , to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure all hardships, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.

2 Timothy 2:15
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

Thanks Jes, It was a good time spent . Sorry to say I’m moving on thought about it for a few days decided I did not need to spend any more time. Some will most won’t I’ve found a place where Ideas are more compatible with my belief system.

Good Bye Lee I’ll pray for you.

There is an extreme desire within all of us to feel we are right about things. No one, unless they are a masochist, actually enjoys being wrong. The intensity and passion one feels about being right depends upon things such as training, upbringing and personality. A domineering and dominating person will obviously feel the need to be right far more than the quiet and laid back person.

It both astounds as well as amuses me at times to see equally well educated and pedigreed individuals go to great lengths to prove to everyone around them that they are right on a matter. Haven’t we all witnessed an argument between so-called experts who passionately throw a tantrum because their position was doubted or questioned by someone they feel of inferior intellect?

People who make their living projecting to everyone around them that they are right cannot handle any challenge which might prove them wrong.

We live in an age of endless experts all telling us what to believe, how to think and what we can and cannot do in this life. Whether in the governmental, economical, educational or religious realms; these “know it all’s”, whose heads are ten times the size of everyone else’ s, demand to be listened to simply because of their educational degrees and/or positions of authority.

Isn’t it funny that these people do not demand to be believed because they are right, but only because of whom they think they are.

Man’s ego and pride causes him to project an arrogance which elevates him to lofty pedestals where the minions are to bow in humble adoration. “How Great I Art” is the theme song for all such egotists whose inflated self esteem has driven them to believe the world cannot exist without their opinion or input on every critical matter in life.

Psychologically, the term for such behavior is narcissism (excessive self admiration and sold self centeredness). Biblical the term used for such behavior is vanity.

From the time Lucifer’s heart was lifted up with pride and he demanded equality with God; the creation has failed to submit to the Creator. Lucifer was not content to be who God made him with the powers and majesty God endowed him with. Pride entered his heart and caused him to rebel against God and draw a full third of all the other created beings to join him in his rebellion against God. This cataclysmic battle which took place long ago in the heavens was caused and driven by pride and arrogance.

Those who have followed in the footsteps of Lucifer go down the path which leads to perdition and destruction. Those who refuse to submit to the authority of Almighty God will surely suffer the same consequences which have befallen all those who honestly think they are bigger and better than God, which is utter and total oblivion.

When the time comes near the end of the Book of Revelation when the devil is thrown into the abyss, it is indicative of being cast into an eternal state of utter oblivion somewhat equivalent to falling into a bottomless pit. God, being a God of justice, has seen fit to reward Lucifer with eternal torment along with being in an endless state of nothingness.

A long time ago I got very tired of hearing the endless jokes about people going to heaven and hell. Wherever and whatever hell consists of, it is no joking matter. Those who live this life arrogantly opposing God and spitting in His face, will be repaid for their folly. Those who insist on believing they are smarter, stronger, better and more righteous than God will spend an eternity regretting it.

This is man’s day to either submit to Almighty God and live according to His Word or do things his own way. Man if free to choose which way he wants to live for we live in the age of grace. The day is fast approaching when God’s judgment will be manifest and man will no longer be free to blaspheme, berate and otherwise try to negate the power and influence of God. When the wrath of God is revealed against all unrighteousness, then the folly of man’s unbelief will be made manifest to all.

God will not eternally withhold His righteous judgment against the wickedness and idolatrous ways of man. The day is soon coming when man must give an account of his evil and pride before God. The day is soon approaching when all those who laugh in God’s face today will be laying face down in the mud of eternal torment due to their stubborn pride and unrepentant heart.

Yes, man today thinks just because he has a Dr. or a Rev. or some other designation in front of his name or a MBA or CEO behind his name that he has carte blanche to do and say as he pleases. The inconvenient truth is just the opposite. Those entrusted with the most knowledge and instruction need to lead the way to God’s throne room and there help others to know of and learn about God.

I have no room in my life for arrogant people who refuse to manifest an ounce of humility or self sacrifice. I would rather walk barefoot across Antarctica than be brought before some important worldly dignitary, super successful or influential world leader and made to grovel in their presence. Worldly accolades mean nothing to me along with terrestrial titles or man-made designations of honor.

We either must be content in who and what God made us or spend our days being led around on a leash by those whose power and influence control this world. The great and eloquent speakers deceive the simple minded who cannot or will not think for themselves. Those who are able to seduce their listeners with vain promises and illusions of grandeur are those who shortly will find themselves buried beneath great piles of rubble as their systems and structures of unbelief collapse upon their very heads.

Those who claim to have all the answers are those who know nothing which is genuinely important. Those who beat their chest and proclaim for all to hear how great they are, in reality are irrelevant and meaningless specks in the eternal scheme of things. Those who insist on publicly proclaiming they are more powerful and influential than Almighty God will soon suffer the consequences of their madness.

The hour is fast approaching when man’s age will cease and Jesus Christ will be Lord of all. The hour is near when all the great exploits of man will burn into chaff and they find themselves standing before the Eternal King with nothing to show for this life but burned up rags. When the great and mighty are stripped of their arrogance and pride; all that will be left of them will be the cold and hapless souls of those whose eternal fate will be due recompense for their life’s work.
