something was said and now I am bothered

[David_james]

My friend sissy says she would but I wouldn't, not for millions. I am sorry but I treasure my soul too much.

I'm sorry to say but anyone that says that does not really understand the real concept of hell.

To go to hell means being eternally separated from God. If you truly love God why would you want to be separated from Him and to be joined with those that are evil.

To go to hell means to be eternally suffering. People here in this world have not learned yet what suffering is and that in hell the suffering is worse than anything they may have experienced here. If not they soon will if they go there.

Hello Brother David,

I'm very sad that great hosts have rejected JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOUR. Many have spent their lives rejecting and disobeying ALMIGHTY GOD, and their own choices and actions determine where they spend Eternity. Where someone spends Eternity is unique and specific to that individual, and it has nothing to do with other people. Heaven and hell are quite REAL, and neither place will run out of room.

Brother, people talk about what's real in this life, but many have no understanding that Eternity, Heaven, and hell are the ultimate REALITY. There is NO end, and this short life is like a blink in time. Evil and the devil are just as REAL as GOOD AND GOD! Heaven and hell are Eternal destinations that are as permanent as one can get - FOREVER!

Brother David, someone who loves the LORD would never dream of rejecting JESUS CHRIST, so I find the original question to be confusing and impossible to understand. Having JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOUR or rejecting HIM is the sole issue that determines an Eternal destination. That's why this decision is the most important one there is in this short life.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Romans 10:8-10 NASB
But what does it say? "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"--that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.

that is why I was bothered. I always thought of her as a better Christian than me.

[David_james]

well sissy and I are no longer friends. She is nothing but a hypocrite. It took a long time but God finally made the truth about her clear.

Hello Brother David,

Could Sissy be someone who GOD wants you to share the Gospel of the Grace of GOD with? Brother, I think this is something to pray about. GOD might have given you this opportunity to help bring someone to CHRIST. We won't know unless we pray about it.

Love In Christ,
Tom

I have tried for almost a year. She is blind and refuse to see the truth.

[Soldier4Christ]

With some people it takes much more than just a year. We need to continue showing the love of Christ for all people. As has been said before this does not mean hounding a person and sometimes means leaving them alone for some time. It does mean simply telling them the truth (planting the seed) and most of all prayer, leaving the concerns of it in God's hands and doing as He guides us to do.

We never know when we may be the means by which God uses to bring someone else to Him. As Brother Tom said, turn to prayer in this, brother. I will join you in prayer, that God will lead you in what to do and say and that if it is His will to soften her heart and open her eyes to Him.

[David_james]

She is roman catholic. I have loved, I have prayed, I don't hound, I have left her alone and I spoke the truth. She was told never to discuss religion. I give up! Also she hates me now and I am avoiding her. She will not hinder me anymore. We betrayed each other.

Sorry for going off

Don't look to man but to God..Look in His word and God will let you know first hand the answer you seek.  God's Word is true and he will fullfil every Word regardless of what men say.

[Jon-Marc]

Knowing what hell is like there is absolutely no way I would be willing to go even for my own children and grandchildren. I'm not capable of loving that much.

Brothers and Sisters,

I just had some thoughts on this subject that I want to share. We are an unacceptable sacrifice and can't take the judgment that is due someone else. ONLY JESUS CHRIST was Perfect, Holy, without sin, and the ONLY acceptable sacrifice for the sins of others. I hope that everyone understands my thoughts on this, even though I probably didn't express them very well. I'll just say that my blood on a CROSS wouldn't help anyone. ONLY CHRIST WAS AND IS WORTHY!

Each specific person must make their own decisions and bear their own consequences for those decisions.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable GIFT, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour Forever!
