Quote# 143423



I envisioned Jesus speaking to this joint session where all the leaders of our country are gathered. He looks at them from the pulpit; He pauses, and then begins to address the assembly.

He reminds them of the covenant which was made with the Founders of our Nation that He would protect and bless us if we would remember Him; and then Jesus opens the Holy Bible to Psalms 33: 12, and reads the verse:

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD.”

At this moment the Chamber erupts into shouts of anger and disgust, as the body of the joint session turns into a hostile mob - reminiscent of the mob that shouted out to Pilate, “Crucify him!”

Jesus, with a countenance of gentle peace, although saddened by the rejection of his offer, looks across the assembly at the angry mob. He turns and begins to exit the pulpit. The large American flag rips from top to bottom, like the veil of the temple ripped as He hung on the cross and said, “It is finished!”

A woman, unable to bear His glance holds her face in shame. Words of mockery, angry shouts and venomous threats fill the hall.

Above the torn flag, engraved in the marble stone of the Congressional Chamber of Congress are the words, “In God We Trust.” Oh, the irony! A shaft of light from the Courts of Heaven shines upon the word “God” as a reminder of whom they have rejected. O, America – why have you abandoned the rock from whence you were hewn!

As Jesus exits this unholy chamber he turns to gaze at you, the viewer of this painting, and asks the question, “What will YOU do now?”

(Yeshua1)
Not much of modern day dating theories will reconcile with the Flood event, correct?

(church mouse guy)
No, their dating methods are not scientific. Many deny a catastrophic global flood. They have about sixty theories of the ice age and none of them fit the facts. Modern science is unscientific in part because it is tied to federal grants, which makes it political. They believe the Grand Canyon was formed by a little water and a lot of time but science suggests a lot of water and a little bit of time. Science has passed evolution by and deep time has too many scientific problems. Recently it was discovered that the moon has a lot of water. Deep time does not know how the moon could have water.

(Yeshua1)
The truth is that both we and the ewvolutionists look at the same data , but their preconceived "truths" require to totally, and wrongly, interprete the scientific facts!

We have previously discussed tutorials from Islamic clerics on how to beat your wife (here and here and here). The latest such grotesque lesson is from a leading cleric Abd Al-Aziz Al-Khazraj Al-Ansari in Qatar. Using a young boy as a stand-in for his wife, Al-Ansari, explains how to beat a wife “out of love” and how some women secretly want beatings because their want “violent and powerful husbands.”

Al-Ansari instructs that Islam bars striking or slapping a women’s face: “The Prophet Muhammad… Look how merciful Islam is. The Prophet forbade striking the face. He forbade men from beating their wives on the face. Slapping the face, hitting the head, punching the nose – all of this is prohibited. The beating is for discipline.”

He further states that “we must understand that the man is the leader of the house. A leader has authorities, just like a company manager.” He instructs how to first admonish wives for failing to do what they told and then resort to “painless beating that does not leave bruises or cause bleeding.”

No, Sir Paul McCartney is not a Christian. Only a person who has been born-again by faith in the Gospel (Good News) of Jesus Christ crucified on the cross, buried, and bodily resurrected the third day is a genuine Christian. That is what the inspired King James Bible teaches (1st Corinthians 15:1-6). YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN! (John 3:5).

In sharp contrast, Paul doesn't believe in the Gospel. If you check online concerning Paul's religious beliefs, you'll find everything from Roman Catholicism to Hinduism to atheism, none of which are Christianity. Perhaps you argue that Paul is private and doesn't share his beliefs. No, has has shared his religious beliefs, which are found all over the internet. Paul has dabbled in everything EXCEPT Biblical Christianity.

For anyone who loves the truth, you fully know that Roman Catholicism is a giant religion completely devoid of truth and God! Catholics trust in their cultish Roman Catholic Church, which teaches Sacramental Salvation (aka, the “Seven Sacraments”). You don't get to Heaven by getting water baptized, confirmed, confessing to a sinful priest, nor any other so-called “sacraments” (a term not even found in the Holy Bible). You have to have childlike faith in the Lord Jesus Christ to become a Christian, which Paul has never once testified publicly. So, no, kindly, by all indications Paul McCartney is going straight to Hell when he dies, to burn forever and ever without hope. I am not happy about that, God forbid, I am simply being very honest.

I admit that I greatly admire Paul McCartney, from a secular viewpoint. I admire his musical genius. The man is clearly a legend to anyone who knows music. I still remember as a boy hearing “Silly Little Love Songs” by Paul McCartney and Wings on the radio in the 1970's. I love music and always have. I play many different stringed instruments (pedal steel, lap steel, banjo, guitar, ukulele, bass, lute and stringed harp). I thank God for music. In my humble opinion, anyone who doesn't like rock music is either dead, weird or a liar! I can hear some sanctimonious self-righteous Christian criticizing me already. Please don't misunderstand, I am 100% against rock music, because it is the number one culprit for the sexual revolution in America. However, it is not a sin to like something. You cannot help what you like or don't like. Being a passionate person who loves music, I like ALL kinds of music!

The Episcopal Church in the United States is a form of Satanic worship disguised as Christianity. Filled to the brim with pomp and circumstance, unmitigated popery, and other such degenerate behaviors as allowing same-sex "marriages," this "church" is responsible for sending people to Hell.

History

King Henry VIII wanted an annulment because his wife bore not a son, but daughters. When the pope did not grant this divorce, Henry stormed off and separated the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church and therefore created the Anglican "Church." He was then able to divorce his wives and commit adultery because he was absolutely dedicated to having a son.

During the time America was under British rule, most were Anglicans. After the events of the American Revolution, the "church" was renamed the Episcopal "Church," because England was to be excised from public life.

The Episcopal "Church" was famous for supporting Darwinism and the eugenics theories of Nazi Germany.

Practices

The Episcopal "Church" has a vain and repetitious service, believes in such heresies as infant baptism and baptismal regeneration, and has icons and idols much like the Roman Catholic "Church." They allow practicing homosexual ministers, "ordain" women, and fail to recognize sin as a negative force in peoples' lives. Their spiritual leader, the Archbishop of Canterbury, is a known agnostic, and they allow the heresy of consubstantiation and using wine instead of grape juice for communion.

Taylor Swift, a vile succubus and harlot known for rejecting the lordship of Jesus Christ, is Episcopalian. This should tell you everything you need to know about this heretical sect of Satanic ritualism.

Interracial marriages involve a man and a woman, the legally and socially accepted version of 'marriages.' So based on that, no, you cannot compare the two as the issue is SAME SEX (at present, the legally and socially unaccepted version)...

What is it about Kentucky's Kim Davis that really has secularists, even some misguided and ill-informed church-goers, yanking their hair out in clumps? It seems many don't merely dislike this accidental civil-rights stalwart; they hate her with a white-hot hatred reminiscent of that levied against blacks during another civil-rights struggle.

It was Rosa Parks then.

It's Kim Davis now.

[...]

As it was with the national sin of systemic racism, there can be few things more "out of harmony with the moral law" than the inherently immoral action of sodomy-based "marriage."

We are at an impasse.

Something has to give.

And something will.

A revolution of passive resistance is at hand - another great awakening.

Christians will, once again, be "free at last."

For example: In 2017, Pensacola Christian College in Florida in gave $25,000 to a local Baptist church on Guam. Unfortunately, the loser for a pastor (a shameful PCC intern) scolded me for telling people that the modern Bible versions are corrupt. He literally accused me of being “obsessed with the Bible debate.” What a sad little man! He's at PCC right now, awaiting his next church to corrupt. That sorry rascal admitted to me that he couldn't even identify one thing wrong with these modern Bible versions. Yet that shallow missionary pastor berated me for caring about the truth, and getting excited over the purity of God's Words. I make no apologies (and if that pastor where a real man he would have apologized, but he didn't). That bum is lucky I don't mention his sorry name, but I have always been a gentleman toward those with whom I disagree (even though they are ungodly clergy). I am in full agreement with David in the Old Testament, who said in Psalms 119:139-140, “My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words. Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it..” WHAT A GREAT BIBLE VERSE!!! Woe unto America's backslidden pastors!

...

Woe unto our nation's ungodly pastors and Bible colleges, who no longer care about the purity of God's inspired Word.

Woe unto America's ungodly leaders, who have betrayed our nation!

Furthermore, once a citizen is convicted of a felony crime, Americans find it almost impossible to find a decent job. When a person pays for their crime in America, they are still punished for the rest of their life with a record hanging over their head. Then foolish pastors criticize them for being homeless! Are you kidding me? This country has gone berserk, making it next to IMPOSSIBLE for millions of American citizens to survive anymore. This is all by design folks! The Luciferian elite need to destroy the Old World Order (which includes the traditional family and Christianity), before they can build their demonic New World Order, whose dictator will be the Antichrist!

Christianity Is No Longer A Religion (Its A Virtue Signalling Club)

Seriously think about what a religion is and what its purpose in society, its there to impose order and systems of control, a government is there to impose legal order, religions are there to impose social order

Christianity is no longer a system that imposes control or order, its just a virtue signalling club. During my time in university I met a few Muslim girls, they were from seemingly strict families, the way they spoke of their social lives and parents, they were likely virgins, I never inquired, but they were very reserved and avoided sexual conversations, etc. If I were to try and date one of these girls I'd likely have to speak to their fathers within a week of dating, he'd inquire about me, ask to meet me, and she likely would not refuse, there's a respect for fathers and their authority that I notice when speaking to Muslims, one that you don't see with Christians.

All the girls I met that were "christian" were whores who already had past multiple boyfriends, talked about sex regularly without shame, etc. Yet they'd all talk about how good of a person they were (like all Christians)

Very few Christians today actually follow the doctrine of their book

Take pork for example, Muslims are commanded by their religious doctrine not to eat pork, and pretty much all Muslims adhere to that rule, Christians are commanded to do the same, yet every Christian I know eats pork lol

Most Muslims I've spoken too practice abstinence and advocate for it, most Christians I know are not virgins and treat fornication like its not even a sin.

Lets not even get into the fact that there are gay men who get to openly claim they are Christians, a gay man claiming he's a Muslim would sound and look stupid, and frankly I've never seen one do that

Here's an important aspect of both religions that only one adheres to, in both religions (Christianity & Islam) women are told not to be preachers, to try to be above their men/husbands, etc. Only one religion actually follows that rule

CHRISTIANS TODAY REALLY DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THEIR DOCTRINE

Its no longer a religion, because nobody cares about the rules anymore, Christianity is just a virtue signalling club, where people gather together and pat eachother on the back for being "nice people", its more about "being liked and accepted" than "serving and obeying your God"

This is why I keep saying, if I was ever going to join a religion it would be islam, I just use Christianity as my goto religion as a formality, its the one I've always signed on forms, etc, and I was born into it, but I see the religion as a joke tbh, you can't look at Christianity and compare it to Islam, and take it seriously as a religion.

When I compare the religions, Christianity today is pretty much just a half assed version of Islam.

Quote# 143415

Please do not be deceived. Many Catholics are dying in Sri Lanka, but they are NOT Christians. The U.S. media is really promoting the killings, which makes me very suspicious. Any time that the mainstream media shoves something in my face, over and over, I am doubtful and suspicious. Why are they promoting this? I did read that some liberals and leftists are calling fun stricter gun control in Sri Lanka, which is ALWAYS a really bad idea! Citizens need guns, without which we have no way of defending ourselves against government tyranny. IT CAN HAPPEN HERE! Never let the government take your guns! Never!!!

I am leery about anything and everything that I hear from the newsmedia nowadays. Pastor Jack Hyles used to wisely say that the only thing you can believe from the newsmedia is the date! That is so true! America has been under demonic attack for decades, and we are losing the war! Thankfully, Jesus told us in John 16:33 to, “BE OF GOOD CHEER,” because He has already overcome the world, and we have a beautiful unshakable hope in the blessed Savior, which the world does not! If you are a Roman Catholic, I am sad to say that you are going straight to burn in Hell the moment you leave this earthly life. And then you will also die the second death according to Revelation 21:8, “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.” Many beautiful people have come and gone, rich and poor alike, but they all went to either Heaven or Hell. The choice is yours alone to make my friend. It's either the Good News of Jesus Christ crucified, buried and risen (without works), or the tormentuous fires of Hell forever! The “Gospel” is only truly Good News if you believe it apart from all human effort, religious devotion and works!

For years now I have been researching famous people and their religious beliefs, out of curiosity. It is truly sad how gullible people are. The sad thing is that if you ask people why they believe what they believe, most of them cannot tell you, except to say that it was the tradition they grew up with, or it makes sense to them, or some other lame excuse. Forget all that! I believe what I believe simply because I have it IN WRITING in the inspired Word of God! I have something solid to base my beliefs upon, besides manmade tradition, family tradition, it feels good, or it makes sense. A lot of people don't even have a reason for their beliefs, except that they simply choose to belong to a particular fun or interesting group, like Seventh-Day Adventists. The group are big on taking care of your physical health, which greatly appeals to a lot of people. They are also big on music, another strong attraction. SDA's also deny a literal burning Hell, which appeals to a lot of unsaved people who are intimidated by truth-preaching churches. In a creepy way, Seventh-Day Adventists are almost synonymous with Bob Jones University today and their shallow graduates who priority music programs over Bible-preaching and truth. I've never seen such horrible pastors as I have in the Pensacola Christian College and Bob Jones University camp!

It is interesting that both myself and Pastor Steven Anderson felt compelled to comment about the religious killings in Sri Lanka. I started to write my article yesterday and found Pastor Anderson's video today. I agree fully with Brother Anderson's analysis of the matter. I am leery that the media is paying so much attention to the violence in Sri Lanka. And now I find out that Hillary is also weighing in on it, exploiting the situation for her own benefit. Catholics are NOT Christians! I am saddened any time I hear about people suffering and dying, but I am not “praying for the Christians in Sri Lanka.” I don't let the ungodly newsmedia tell me what to pray about! I pray for the people in my daily life, that I see, and know are for real, and not a media scam, like so much of what we are told nowadays. You just don't know what is or isn't true with the lying media. They lie so much that they're like the foolish boy who cried “wolf” to tease the village. So when the wolf really came, no one believed him, and the wolf ate him! I stopped believing the media long ago, and ultimately they will reap the eternal damnable rewards of their lying and ungodliness!

Christians support true science but keep alert to uncertain or arguable scientific views since not less problems have been caused in the name of science: like deleting some parts of organ to cure some types of sickness; like DDT, etc. Today, health and environment are polluted by those in the name of science. Science errs but God never errs.

Quote# 143418

But "Easter worshippers" is a different thing entirely. Responding to the slaughter of hundreds of Christians during Easter attacks by radical Islamic terrorists, a number of prominent Democratic politicians chose to issue statements that glaringly omit any direct mention of the faith identity of the victims.

Barack Obama said this: "The attacks on tourists and Easter worshippers in Sri Lanka are an attack on humanity. On a day devoted to love, redemption, and renewal, we pray for the victims and stand with the people of Sri Lanka."

Hillary Clinton seemed to be working literally from the same script: "On this holy weekend for many faiths, we must stand united against hatred and violence. I'm praying for everyone affected by today's horrific attacks on Easter worshippers and travelers in Sri Lanka."

Several other Democrats latched onto this same phrase — "Easter worshippers." If just one of them had gone this route, perhaps I could be convinced that it might be clumsy wording and nothing more. But it is simply impossible to believe that several significant Democrats would all independently and innocently think to refer to Christian victims in such a roundabout and obscure way.

[...] But the general mass of people who show up to worship on Easter have always, in my experience, just been called Christians. It would be technically accurate to use a label like "Passover observers" in the place of "Jews" and "Ramadan commemorators" for "Muslims," but I can't imagine why anyone would be so unnecessarily vague and wordy. Unless, of course, there is some reason why they don't want to explicitly acknowledge the group in question. And that appears to be the case here.

As it happens, we don't need to wonder how the likes of Clinton and Obama would respond to a similar attack against Muslims. There was just such an attack a few weeks ago in New Zealand. Let's look at their statements.

Obama: "Michelle and I send our condolences to the people of New Zealand. We grieve with you and the Muslim community. All of us must stand against hatred in all its forms."

Clinton: "My heart breaks for New Zealand & the global Muslim community. We must continue to fight the perpetuation and normalization of Islamophobia and racism in all its forms. White supremacist terrorists must be condemned by leaders everywhere. Their murderous hatred must be stopped."

This gives the game away. No rational person could fail to notice a stark contrast between these statements and the ones issued in response to nearly 300 butchered Christians on Easter Sunday. They both make sure to use the word "Muslim." Clinton goes further and ropes in "Islamophobia" and "[w]hite supremacist terrorists." Not only does she omit "Christian" from her comments on Sri Lanka, but she certainly says nothing about "Christophobia" and "Islamic terrorists."

Are we supposed to believe that this is a mere coincidence? If so, is it also a coincidence that Hillary Clinton, who accidentally forgot the word "Christian" yesterday on Easter, did not forget the phrase "LGBT community" after the shooting at a gay club in Orlando three years ago? Of course not. There is a purpose behind this, and the purpose matters.

Christians are among the most persecuted groups on the planet. On a monthly basis, hundreds are murdered for their faith, hundreds more are locked in prison without just cause, and dozens of churches are burned or vandalized. Indeed, the most shocking thing about yesterday's tragedy is how utterly routine it has become. It was only two years ago that over a hundred Christians were killed in explosions at Palm Sunday services in Egypt. Many Christians across the world know that they take their lives into their hands when they gather for worship. This fact — that Christians are not only a victim group, but are one of the most victimized groups — is extraordinarily inconvenient for Democrats, who have structured their whole agenda around their victimhood narrative. By their telling, racial minorities, women, homosexuals, and Muslims are The Victims while white men and Christians are The Bad Guys. This dichotomy would be thrown wildly out of balance and sent into disarray if Christians were admitted into the victim column — especially because they are so often victimized by Muslim extremists.

No, the Democrats can't have that. So they usually ignore the genocide of Christians, and often enact policies that make it worse. And when they are forced, on the rare occasion, to acknowledge an attack of this sort, they will do it without saying anything that might give ignorant Americans the impression that there is a real systematic problem of Christians being constantly blown up and murdered by Muslim extremists. But the systematic problem is real, even if these conniving cowards won't admit it.

The Paris prosecutor’s office has launched an investigation into allegations that Yellow Vest protesters assailed police over the weekend with taunts urging officers to kill themselves.

Yellow Vests took to the streets of Paris for a 23rd consecutive Saturday this weekend, facing off against police at the city’s historic Place de la République, where protesters chanted at officers to “commit suicide”.

Interior Minister Christophe Castaner swiftly condemned the incident. "Shame on those who have given into such ignominy," he said in a tweet.

On Sunday, the Paris prosecutor’s office opened an inquiry into “contempt of a person carrying out public authority at a rally”.

The jeers have struck a nerve in France, where the number of police suicides are on the rise. Twenty-eight officers have taken their own lives so far this year, the Information and Communication Service of the National Police (SICoP) confirmed to FRANCE 24.

At that rate, there is around one police suicide every four days. The statistic is high in comparison with previous years, and is a growing source of concern for police unions.

Quote# 143394

In a vision, Jesus took me to Hell. It was like a terrible, life-changing accident. You know how when an accident happens, you keep replaying over in your mind what you could have done differently? I have replayed August 28th over and over at least 1,000 times, if not more. “Oh God, what did I do wrong? Why did this happen to me?”

Because I have looked at this “accident” so much, I know many little details that have been etched into my memory. Many of them are unimportant, but I have memorized them nonetheless. I have looked for every little decision or detail that resulted in the worst day of my entire life—and possibly the most life-giving day for myself.

It is important to note that what I share here all happened instantly. It wasn’t an orderly progression, but I’ve tried to lay it out in an orderly fashion here.

How it Began
I worked for the evangelism department at the International House of Prayer, now called the Kansas City Evangelists’ Fellowship (KCEF). That morning we were in our weekly two-hour evangelism meeting.

As the meeting began with worship, I was standing at the back of the room. Before I can enter into worship in a heart-connect way, let alone in spirit and truth (see John 4:24), I have to tell my body, You will worship God. So that day I raised my hands to God and I sung loudly to Him. I engaged my mind to worship Jesus by contemplating the beauty of His love and the magnificence of His dying on the Cross for me. I let my emotions worship Him, which allows my heart to open to Him.

The worship leader was helping us pray for our lost family members, friends, neighbors, and co-workers. To really get a sustained heart for lost people, I have found I have to make it personal. I have to truly think about what it would be like for my lost family members to not make it to Heaven. When we think about someone we love not being in Heaven, it creates a real sadness and if we think about it long enough, it creates a desperation. These thoughts allow us to identify with a real emotion for the people we love. Because it’s such a negative emotion to experience, most people don’t go there. Evangelists are willing to expose their hearts to let God’s truth and urgency shape us. We don’t like the down emotion either, but by allowing it we become more tenderized to the eternal truth for lost souls. Then, sharing about Jesus becomes essential and very personal.

As we sang an evangelistic song, I felt the presence of holiness come into the room. The song gripped me and just seemed to add to the excitement I already felt. The music was captivating and took me to what I will call a worship place. The feeling in the room was the same as other times that I had been invited to come away with the Lord to visit Heaven. I knew I was being invited to go in the spirit. The holiness had come for me. I said, “Yes."

Transported to Hell
Then, all of a sudden, the front of the room opened up. I instantly opened my eyes and saw the transformation as it happened. The Hell realm unlocked and I heard massive gates creak open and I felt extreme heat enter the room. I looked with my eyes wide open and I saw Hell through the gates. I saw it! I was shocked that it was right there. Wasn’t it supposed to be in the center of the earth or below us? To say I panicked is an understatement!

Worship and prayer continued around me. The people were oblivious that Hell was at the front of the room. I watched those ominous gates open as I watched the people worshiping. The two places, the meeting room and Hell were together.

I frantically looked to see who might help me. The others didn’t see the gates, hear that sound, or feel the heat. Instinctively, I started screaming. I felt the sound of fear coming from my own body. I knew that my spirit was being demanded to submit. As I screamed, my spirit was also making a sound that deeply hurt my heart and brain while it also panicked every blood cell in my body.

Something came flying past the gates of Hell. It was coming for me. It was like an arm without fingers that grabbed me and sucked me into Hell. The arm was very powerful. It was attached to me like a suction cup in the area of my chest and began dragging me further into Hell. As quickly as it shot out from Hell, it just as quickly moved back. I tried to pull back and break the hold it had on me but it was too powerful.

Before I could blink, I knew this—it was too late. The gates slammed shut with a terrible sound of finality. I knew there was no man on this side or that who could ever open those gates. Only Jesus could because He owns Hell.

Inside the Gates
I passed through gates that trapped the darkness inside. The first thing I knew when I got there: I was in Hell. The realization that I was in Hell was unquestionably shocking and beyond hurtful! I don’t know how to explain just how panicked I was, although you may understand a bit if you’ve ever been lost.

It was like that but more dire. I was like a child and I had no plan. I panicked like no other panic I have ever experienced in my entire life. In fact, I knew that if I could add up every panic I have ever felt, it didn’t come close to what I was experiencing.

Someone said to me, “Laurie, you are in Hell!”

“Oh my God!” I answered.

I knew many things all at once. As I break them down to explain each one individually, it gives the false appearance that it was a slow progressive onslaught. But everything was immediate. For the sake of explanation, I knew three things first—I was in Hell, eternally, for unforgiveness.

Once the understanding of the judgment arrived in my heart there were four distinct pains:

Water—Immediately, all the water left my body, creating a desperate, painful need.
Bone marrow—In an instant my bones turned black.
Breath—The first breath allowed fire to touch everything in me and be carried throughout my body.
Agreement—Agreeing with the judgement that Hell is where I belonged removed my humanity.
Before that day, I had not studied much about Hell. I believed it was real because I believe the whole Bible is true, but I didn’t think that anybody like me would ever go there. I also knew about the Bible’s stance on unforgiveness. Although I knew, it was just easier to hold on to unforgiveness. I mean, with time, unforgiveness had become part of me. I would never have thought unforgiveness could take a person to Hell. My view was swiftly changed.

A Relational Problem
In Hell, I knew and understood the Bible perfectly. Every word of God that I had ever read was now completely clear. And I knew exactly how much I had disobeyed in comparison to my biblical understanding. I was keenly aware of everything about myself and my body. Stuff like my blood moving, my eyes seeing, and how all parts of my body work. I have never been in such awe of the creation of a human body. Everything I learned in eighth grade science I recalled perfectly. But even more, a supernatural knowledge filled in the blanks that I did not already know.

My knowledge about Hell, from the Scriptures, was also at the front of my awareness. I knew that everything I had read was true. All heartbreakingly true. I knew all of the scriptures on Hell, how much information was provided to me in the Bible about it, and how those scriptures fit with the rest of the Bible. I was fully awakened to the terrible reality of this place. The panic of knowing that I was in Hell grew. I was not a visitor.

I understood that Hell is a relational issue, not a problem to solve like a math question. A person cannot get out of Hell if they acquire the right answer. Hell was created because of a relational issue. One of the most important things I knew is that Hell wasn’t created because of human sin and we don’t go to Hell because of one particular sin. We all have sinned (see Rom. 3:23). This isn’t just a sin issue. It is a relational issue. Because of the Devil and his disobedience, disrespect, and disregard of God, Hell was created.

We think someone goes to Hell because they sinned, but really it is about disobeying and disrespecting God. The Bible says, “Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way” (Ps. 2:12). That kiss is about love, affection, and obedience. We think that because people mess up, God sends them to Hell. But that is not true. How can we think God is bad? People go to Hell because they refuse to be in a relationship with God. Hell is about a refusal to love God and have a relationship with Him.

Although God literally forgave me everything, I chose to refuse to forgive certain ones. I was like the unmerciful servant in one of Jesus’ parables (see Matt. 18:21-35). When the servant refused to forgive the debt and stood before the king again, he was called wicked. It wasn’t because he simply made a mistake; it was because he wouldn’t enter into the relationship of mercy and grace and obedience to the King. It wasn’t only about what a person does; it is all about who they are in their heart.

In Hell I already knew the complete truth from God’s perspective. The ways of God are righteous, always righteous! Even though I wished it were not so, I knew that it was. The judgment of God is true. Everyone knows that truth there. The judgment of me being in Hell eternally for not forgiving people on the earth was completely righteous. In my own knowledge, being in Hell was completely righteous. I can’t tell you what that did to me then, or the soberness that it puts in me even today. It’s not like on the earth where innocent people have gone to jail for something they didn’t do. That never happens in Hell. Everyone in Hell is there because they are guilty. Because they would not love and obey God.

As I faced the reality of my judgment, I was in overload. I was inundated with an ever-increasing fear and knowledge that Hell is not only everything that I had read in the Bible but so much worse. But there is no overload shut-down mechanism in Hell. No shutting off, no taking a break, no passing out, and no quitting. The horribleness and pain in Hell accelerated and continued to get worse. I was literally experiencing inside my body the truth I had read in the Bible.

I experienced many other horrors during this vision, which I talk about further in my book The Hell Conspiracy. For the sake of brevity, I’ll cut it short…

Back to the Visible Realm
At the end of the vision, I reentered the earthly realm yelling. The worship was still going on, but I took center stage from the back of the room with my screaming.

I had no idea how much trouble I was in or that I would be forever changed. I had no grid for the loss or the gain that would surround my life from that day forward. Today, I still have an eerie weightiness whenever I share about Hell. It is a very important topic that everyone should take seriously.

It was the mercy of Jesus that He sent me to Hell and His mercy that He took me out of there. It was His kindness. It was His gentleness. It was just like when He saved me. But I didn’t know that. I didn’t know the day Jesus saved me that He saved me from all of Hell’s torments. I didn’t know when I celebrated freedom that He saved me from the bondage to sin and Hell’s eternal punishments.

It hurts to tell you this. It hurts to tell you about the punishment that was mine. It was Jesus’ mercy and love that picked me up and brought me back from Hell. If I had died in that vision, I would still be there.

The fact is that there are many people in Hell. Too many people! We can’t do anything about that. But how many of our family are going there? You know what? Most of us really don’t care. The Bible says Hell is getting bigger to hold all the people who are coming (see Isa. 5:14; Deut. 32:22). We should be doing something about it.

Apparently, all planets have "wombs," which makes for the possibility that planets could be "born" from the "wombs" of larger planets."

Society performs at its best whenever people believeth upon the Lord Jesus Christ. Society collapses when people falter from Him! People insist upon following their wicked vices, and end up consuming strong drink and engaging in fornication and pornography, and listen to vapid music that honoreth not Christ! Taylor Swift is selling young teenagers salacious and obscene “music” about fornication and infidelity in relationships and glorification of drunkenness and homosexuality. Wicked people create video games that people play for days and don’t read their Bible! Halo and Grand Theft Auto and Animal Crossing are all heinous and sinful games that promote murder, a life of crime, and bestiality, respectively.

Protection from Extreme Environmentalists – We strongly oppose all efforts of the extreme environmental groups that stymie legitimate business interests. We strongly oppose those efforts that attempt to use the environmental causes to purposefully disrupt and stop those interests within the oil and gas industry. We strongly support the immediate repeal of the Endangered Species Act. We strongly oppose the listing of the dune sage brush lizard either as a threatened or an endangered species. We believe the Environmental Protection Agency should be abolished.

Free Speech for the Clergy – We urge amendment of the Internal Revenue Code to allow a religious organization to address issues without fear of losing its tax-exempt status. We call for repeal of requirements that religious organizations send the government any personal information about their contributors.

Homosexuality ? We affirm that the practice of homosexuality tears at the fabric of society and contributes to the breakdown of the family unit. Homosexual behavior is contrary to the fundamental, unchanging truths that have been ordained by God, recognized by our country’s founders, and shared by the majority of Texans. Homosexuality must not be presented as an acceptable “alternative” lifestyle, in public policy, nor should “family” be redefined to include homosexual “couples.” We believe there should be no granting of special legal entitlements or creation of special status for homosexual behavior, regardless of state of origin. Additionally, we oppose any criminal or civil penalties against those who oppose homosexuality out of faith, conviction or belief in traditional values.

Controversial Theories – We support objective teaching and equal treatment of all sides of scientific theories. We believe theories such as life origins and environmental change should be taught as challengeable scientific theories subject to change as new data is produced. Teachers and students should be able to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of these theories openly and without fear of retribution or discrimination of any kind.

Knowledge-Based Education – We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning).

Sex Education – We recognize parental responsibility and authority regarding sex education. We believe that parents must be given an opportunity to review the material prior to giving their consent. We oppose any sex education other than abstinence until marriage.

U.S. Department of Education – Since education is not an enumerated power of the federal government, we believe the Department of Education (DOE) should be abolished.

Judeo-Christian Nation – As America is a nation under God founded on Judeo-Christian principles, we affirm the constitutional right of all individuals to worship in the religion of their choice.

Voter Rights Act – We urge that the Voter Rights Act of 1965 codified and updated in 1973 be repealed and not reauthorized.

Yeah, that would be the 'guns-to-heads' bit I mentioned.

Also, you are incredibly uncharismatic. Do you have any followers? Do you have any plans to develop the skills and resources to attract them? Because brother, this ain't it.

It wouldn't be guns to head. What I am saying is that the members of parliament themselves will be secret agents of my society.
What will help me gain followers will be when I marry @pomme and move to England. There I can gain supporters within the United Kingdom Independence Party. And me and Pomme's children can convince their friends to join my society. I can also get Scots to join the society by promising the Scots independence when the true king is restored, because the true heir to the throne of England is not the heir to Scotland. My society can establish a youth wing similar to the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts that can teach children about the true king. While I may not see the true king restored in my lifetime, my descendants will multiply, and the society will gradually grow larger so the plan will eventually be fulfilled.

As for butchering the community, every man woman and child - yes - it's the right thing to do. The children would only get older, rise up and take revenge for their parents. Sort of a ticking time bomb. Just nip it in the bud and be done with it.

And in the end, It's a win-win. No more acts of terrorism from the Canaanites, and more parking for the camels and donkeys. What's to complain about?

I wonder that if we just wipe out Iran, think about how much free parking we would have for all of the middle east? It's a win-win.
