John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me
ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation but be of good
cheer; I have overcome the world.

now what

Christianity is not a pleasure cruiser. It is a rescue ship. This video is a must see. We are called to seek and save that which is lost. Not just play church and talk about reaching the lost.

So many think this is a game... what is the worst that could happen. (hell? sorry purgatory does not exist, there are only two lines mentioned in the bible and not a third line; those to the left and those to the right)

So... lets say you die... where will you go? heaven or hell?
simple question... so you think you are going to heaven... why?
because of good things you have done? what about the bad things? (lying, stealing, looking with lust, blasphemy, hatred, etc....)
will God just look past those things?
Isn't God just? and if he is just shouldn't people be punished for things they have done? what about Hitler?...
So you think God will forgive you just because you ask him to? where do you get that from (that is not in the Bible)

I spoke with someone recently who believed there was no such thing as hell... he then stopped and questioned himself when asked what about Hitler.

If you stand in a court room guilty of serious crimes can the Judge just let you go because you said you are sorry? (he will say you should be, these are very serious crimes)
Or what if you tell the Judge that stuff happened a long time ago and you wont do that again, will say "okay"?
Or I have done more good things than bad things... will that matter?

There is a fine that must be paid, you can't pay it... Jesus steps in and pays the fine, you are free to go... Repent (stop doing things that are offensive to God) and put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ...
Grace will be given to you (Grace: unmerited gift, you cant earn it) but like any gift it will remain where it is unless you take it..
