Tough Love Jesus

John 2:13-15, “And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables.”

The Jesus Most People Don't Want To See

As the webmaster (webservant) of Jesus-is-Savior.com, I receive lots of e-mail. At present, I am receiving a couple hundred e-mails per week (praise God!). I thank God for giving me the opportunity to reach people with the truth using the internet. It is my privilege to help people. At present, this website is receiving over 20,000 visitors weekly (80,000 now in 2009). Wow! By God's grace, the truth will continue to get out. It is a warm feeling to know that while I'm sleeping at night, thousands of people are awake on the other side of the planet finding the truth on my website. Though my souls have been reaped (brought to the Lord Jesus Christ) through this website, most of what I do is to sow seeds in people's hearts. A lot of people leave this website angry, but it gets them thinking. Sometimes you have to shock someone with the truth to get them to take the blinders off. It works! Thank you Lord Jesus for using this undeserving sinner to reach people with the truth.

One of the things that I hear quite a bit in the e-mails people send to me is that I'm not loving like Jesus. There's not a day that goes by where someone doesn't e-mail me to tell me that I'm filled with hatred, but Jesus was loving and understanding towards sinners. They accuse me of failing to be like Jesus. I would like to address such allegations against myself and others like me who stand uncompromisingly against the evils and wickednesses of our time. I would like to present to you some Biblical FACTS about the Lord Jesus Christ, facts that you've probably never heard before (or have heard, but never wanted to accept). The FACT is that Jesus was NOT always the loving pacifist that so many heathens and immature believers would like to make Him out to be.

Jesus Did Get Angry, Sometimes Even Violent

The FACT is that Jesus did get angry sometimes...real angry...so angry that He actually fabricated a whip of cords, went into the temple, and started beating people. Jesus started flipping their tables over, hurling everything onto the temple floor. People were fleeing the temple for fear. They probably said, “This guy has gone crazy, we're out of here! Jesus let their doves go free (costing them a financial loss). He threw their money all over the floor...
John 2:15, “And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables”
Can you imagine? Is this our Precious Saviour acting like a mad man? Yes, it most certain is. Jesus was very angry to put it mildly. What do you think would happen to someone who did today exactly what Jesus did back then in the temple that day? The person would immediately be arrested and charged with created a public disturbance, assault with a deadly weapon, trespassing, vandalism of public (private) property, et cetera. The judge would force the person into mandatory psychiatric counseling. If an undercover police officer were present at the time of the violent incident, the person would probably have been killed on the spot. So don't tell me about how loving Jesus was all the time. Yes, Jesus was more loving than any person who ever lived, but He also hated sin like no other...
Hebrews 1:9, “Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Jesus was a perfectly balanced individual, He loved righteousness and equally hated sin. Ninety-five percent of all Christians love righteousness far more than they hate sin. In fact, MOST professed Christians don't hate sin at all; rather, they live in it. Jesus did not go to gay parades and pass out pizza. Jesus never would endorse Harry Potter like Christianity Today magazine does. Jesus hated sin and preached against it.

Jesus Wasn't Hesitant to Offend People with the Truth!

I. Jesus reminds a woman about her adulterous affairs
Many people have accused me of being unloving, failing to be like Jesus. Why?Simply because of my direct approach. Was Jesus direct? In John chapter four we read about the Samaritan woman whom Jesus met at the well. In John 4:18, Jesus tells her that she is an adulterer (Matthew 5:32). Wow! Can you imagine meeting someone for the first time and they bring up your adulterous relationships?
II. Jesus hurts someone's feelings
Did you ever read that passage of Scripture where Jesus made someone sorrowful...
Matthew 19:21-22, "Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.  But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions."
The truth needed to be spoken!  Jesus didn't kowtow and beat-around-the-bush.  No, Jesus said what needed to be said.
III. Jesus calls a group of religious people “evil snakes
It was not uncommon for Jesus to speak harsh words to those whom He felt needed to hear them...
Matthew 12:34, "O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh."
Wow! Jesus called those religious people “evil. Doesn't sound like a very nice thing to do, huh? The diversity committee wouldn't have liked Jesus' outbursts of contempt and hate speech very much would they? Jesus would have been very unpopular in today's apostate world. Jesus even called them vipers (deadly snakes).
IV. Jesus calls one of His own Disciples "Satan"
Jesus didn't discriminate, He evidently seemed to hate everyone, even His own disciples. Listen to what Jesus said to the Apostle Peter when Peter showed concern for Christ's well-being...
Matthew 16:23, "But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men."
Wow, Peter was only trying to be a friend. Peter couldn't have been anymore sincere. Gee Whiz, you'd think Jesus would have been a little more understanding with those closest to Him. Rather, Jesus called Peter “Satan.” Wow! Talk about “hate speech.
V. Jesus accuses one of His disciples of being "a devil"
Jesus, while at the dinner table with His disciples, called one of them a "devil"...
John 7:60, "Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?"
Jesus' didn't seem to regard His own family either:
Matthew 12:47-48, "Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.  But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?"
Wow!, Jesus sure had a different side to Him that most people don't see (and don't want to see). 
 VI. Jesus taught that many people will one day burn in Hell
Everyone likes to think about the "God loves you" Jesus, but no one wants to think about the "You're going to burn in hell" Jesus.  Well, here He is... 
"Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels" -Matthew 25:41 
Huh? Can it be? Is the Loving Saviour actually saying that people will one day burn in the torments of an everlasting fire? Yes, that is exactly true.
VII. Jesus said, do it my way, or burn in Hell when you die!
John 14:6, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
 Wow!, doesn't sound very diversified does it...do it My way or burn in hell!  In fact, Jesus was extremely adamant that there is ONLY ONE WAY TO HEAVEN...
Simply put, it's Jesus or hell. Oprah Winfrey is on the wrong path. Many people are on the wrong path. That means that the Roman Catholic Church is a false religion because they teach that the church, good works, the sacraments, the Rosary, and the blessed virgin Mary are all necessary to enter into Heaven. Catholicism is a bunch of lies. Jesus proclaimed that FEW people will ever make it into heaven...
Matthew 7:13-14, "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Hell will be filled with religious people who mocked and scorned the precious name of Jesus Christ, while idolizing the mythical Blessed Virgin Mary. Mary didn't remain a virgin folks, she married and had children (Jesus had brothers). The Catholic Mary is a great illusion, a Satanic deception. You see friend, truth is INTOLERANT—it cannot be compromised. 1 + 1 = 2, nothing can change that. If some liar wants to teach people that 1 +1 = 3, it still doesn't change the truth. If some people are gullible enough to believe the lie, that is their misfortune; but the truth hasn't changed one bit—one plus one will always equal two. Everyone has a right to their own opinion, but no one has a right to their own facts!

The Truth Of The Matter

After all the things I just showed you about Jesus from the Bible, you might be wondering about Jesus' character. Well, let me settle your mind. Jesus was justified in everything He ever said or did while upon the earth. According to God's Word, Jesus never sinned one time (2nd Corinthians 5:17, Hebrews 4:15). There was a spiritual truth—heavenly reason, a greater purpose—behind every seemingly unkind thing Jesus ever did or said. Likewise, my website does offend many people, even appearing as “hateful or selfish from a quick glance. The truth is that there is so much love invested into this website that no one apart from God Himself can possibly know my heart. I love people, but I equally love God. I love the truth of God's Word.

The problem with so many people is that they love people and things, but not God. We are living in a wicked world that speaks and sings of love, while simultaneously sacrificing God and His Word on the alter of sinful compromise. The wicked world wants to achieve unity between the righteous and the wicked, but there can be NO unity. Why? Because God's holiness cannot be compromised. God never changes (Malachi 3:6). The same God that hated homosexuality back in the Old Testament hates the same abominable sin today. Christ-honoring Christians will never stop preaching against the vile sin of homosexuality (or any other sin for that matter). Why? It is simply because God never changes.

Jesus expressed His love at times in unconventional manners that mad people angry or frustrated at Him.  John the Baptist was the greatest man born amongst women the Bible declares (Mathew 11:11). No doubt, Jesus loved John dearly. Yet, John didn't understand why he was rotting in a prison while God incarnate was walking the earth. I mean, John had done his very best to prepare the people for the Lord's coming, and now he's on death row locked-up behind bars. John became discouraged and even questioned Christ's legitimacy...
Luke 7:19, “And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?”
Wow! Did Jesus even abandon His friends in time of need? We don't understand the spiritual significance of what was done, but God knows the reasons. We must maintain a complete Biblical perspective of the Savior. It is a dangerous thing to hold to a lopsided view of the Savior. Jesus loves people, so much that He died upon the cross for all of us (John 3:16). God would rather die than see you go to Hell! Yet, Jesus shelled the corn (preached hard) and spoke the truth when it needed to be spoken. Jesus was no wimp, no spineless coward, no compromiser. Jesus was a man's man, the only begotten Son of God, God incarnate. Jesus cared for others and loved His family and friends. However, love cannot supersede truth. True love occurs within the framework of truth. If love is not based upon truth, then it is not God's love. I love you enough to tell you the truth, even though I may risk becoming unpopular or being disliked for it.

So to those of you who think that Jesus never spoke a harsh word or never criticized someone else's religion—you are very wrong! Jesus was quite outspoken and didn't worry about offending people. Jesus was much rather willing to be divided over truth, than to be united by error. If you think that my website is lacking the Savior's love, then I suggest that you read the New Testament throughly  In so doing, you will discover that the loving Savior at times flipped over tables, threw people's things on the floor, assaulted them with a whip, and then drove them out of the building. If you don't like me, you'll hate Jesus. Jesus told some people that they would one day be weeping and gnashing their teeth after being cast into outer darkness (Matthew 8:12). You wouldn't have liked Billy Sunday either. Jesus was no respecter of persons and spoke the plain truth with apology. That's what you call “tough love.” Let us follow in the Savior's footsteps by doing the same. God deliver us from this weak-kneed generation of television believers.

Hell Is A Place Of Punishment In Everlasting Fire

Revelation 20:11-15, “And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”

The Holy Bibles teaches irrefutably that there is a literal place called “Hell,“” which burns with fire and brimstone (Revelation 21:8), where all Christ-rejecters will spend eternity suffering in torment. Our text passage of Scripture makes this horrifying truth very clear. 

One of the biggest false prophets on YouTube is a loudmouth boisterous unlearned woman named Renee Roland. She is woefully ignorant of the Word of God, denying the existence of everlasting punishment in the Lake of Fire. The Seventh-Day Adventist religious cult similarly denies the reality and existence of eternal punishment in fire and brimstone. Renee says in her video that she is not an Adventist, because she believes the wicked will suffer for a while, and then be annihilated. There is absolutely nothing in the Word of God about anyone being annihilated. You either go to Heaven or Hell. That is true of the angels as well.

So also do the Jehovah's Witness cult deny a literal burning Hell. Kindly said, Renee wrestles (twists) the Holy Scriptures to her own destruction. 2nd Peter 3:16-17, “As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.” Renee requests for people not to call her a heretic and false prophet, but she is a HERETIC and a FALSE PROPHET! In her video she claims that her denial of everlasting punishment in hellfire is based upon 50 BIBLE VERSES! She is deceived!

The Story Of The Rich Man And Lazarus Is a Factual Account

In the video link I just provided to Renee butchering the Bible, she errantly claims that the story Jesus' told in Luke 16:19-31 of the rich man, Abraham and Lazarus is a mere parable. She is wrong! This story is a literal account of something that happened. We know it is NOT a parable for the following reasons:
  1. Jesus did not say that is was a parable. The Lord ALWAYS announced when He was telling a parable.
  2. Jesus didn't explain afterwards what it meant, which He always did when telling a parable.
  3. Jesus uses proper names (Abraham and Lazarus) which He never did when telling parables. In parables the Lord uses vague terms; such as, a certain man took a journey into a far country, giving no specifics.
  4. Jesus said in John 14:2, “In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you.” The Lord said what He meant, and meant what He said. If Hell is not a literal place where Christ-rejecters go to suffer in everlasting torment and fire, then He is a dirty deceiver!
The story of the rich man and Lazarus is a factual account. 

Sodom And Gomorrah Destroyed As Example Of Everlasting Punishment

Jude 1:7, “Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.“”

Renee butchers this passage in her horrible video, claiming that this verse does not refer to everlasting punishment. Dear reader, look for yourself at the word “EXAMPLE.” God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and three other cities in the plains of Sodom, as an EXAMPLE of the eternal fire in Hell for the wicked. The “wicked” are all those of humanity who knowingly reject Jesus Christ as their Savior (John 8:24). No one ever went to Hell who didn't choose to go there by willfully rejecting God's free gift of eternal life through faith alone in His only begotten Son (John 3:16). All small children go to Heaven. All mentally disabled people who cannot comprehend sin and the Gospel go to Heaven. The choice is yours!

Renee foolishly rationalizes that since Sodom and Gomorrha are no longer still burning today, she says Hell is not forever. That is foolish conjecture. Revelation 14:11, “And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.” The Bible is abundantly clear here that Hell is FOR EVER AND EVER! In Hell there is NO REST DAY NOR NIGHT. There is TORMENT. You cannot be tormented if you cease to exist by being annihilated (destroyed). The Scriptures plainly teach that Hell is FOR EVER AND EVER!!! How can anyone debate those direct statements? 

The following Scripture passage would make no sense if death means ceasing to exist. Matthew 10:28, “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Psalms 9:17, The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Again, this Bible passage makes no sense if Hell is merely the grave. Clearly the wicked go to a DIFFERENT place than the righteous. 

Renee Roland Is Judging God Based On Her Level Of Holiness

In the video Renee (at about 22:45 minutes) claims that teaching everlasting punishment “hurts God's character.” No, Renee is corrupting the truth, perverting the Scriptures. She says that it hurts God's character to say that He would burn someone in Hell for all eternity. No it hurts her character! Renee is foolishly judging God based upon her own finite human understanding. In Renee's eyes she cannot comprehend a God who would take a blow-torch to someone (that's the term she uses). Dear reader, God is more holy than either you or I could ever understand. If we judge God by our own sinful human nature, then we start saying ungodly things as Gene Roddenberry (the creator of the Star Trek television series):
“We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes.” —Gene Roddenberry
Woe unto Gene Roddenberry (1921-1991), who died and no doubt went to Hell in his unbelief. Romans 9:20, “Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?” Renee is a false prophet! What concerns me most is that she has a lot of supporters on the internet who gives her thumbs up on her videos, and tell her how great a job she is doing. No, she is hurting people with her lies, perverting the Scriptures. Hell is a literal place that burns with fire and brimstone forever and ever and ever and ever and ever!

The Righteous And Wicked Go To Different Places

I had an unsaved Mormon boss many years ago, when I worked as a truck mechanic, hand me a piece of paper with some Old Testament passages on it. We hadn't been talking about religion, so I am not sure why he handed me the verses. On the paper he also wrote the word “Sheol, which is the Hebrew word for hell throughout the Old Testament. He said, “I think of you'll look up these Scriptures, you'll see that Hell is just the grave.” Well, that is what the word Sheol means, but it doesn't limit the afterlife to just the grave. This is made abundantly clear by Psalms 9:17, which tells us that the wicked go to Hell, but the righteous unto life eternal. If the righteous and the wicked both go to the SAME place, then this Bible verse is meaningless. Obviously the wicked go to a very different place of suffering, and the righteous to a place of blessing. 

Beware Of False Prophets In Sheep's Clothing

A lot of Christians are giving Renee a free pass on her heresy that everlasting punishment doesn't exist, because she has done a good job preaching the Gospel. Something is VERY WRONG with that picture! Satan knows that the most effective deception is the HALF-TRUTH. The Gospel is the remedy for the curse of the law, but if there is not everlasting punishment, then what is the curse? I implore you not to listen to Renee, at all! She errantly claims that the phrase twice dead in Jude 1:12b refers to annihilationWhat saith the Scripture? 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. Could the Bible be any plainer? I think not. 

Interestingly, Renee left Revelation 21:8 out of her 29 minute video presentation. She claims to have spent “a long time studying the subject of Hell in the Bible. If that be true she is not a very good student. 2nd Timothy 2:15, Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.Kindly said, Renee lacks spiritual discernment and wrongly divides the Word of God! She says her study of people being consumed in the Old Testament led her to conclude that annihilation is Biblical. She cites this passage from Psalms 37:20, “But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.” Renee makes the error of taking passages out of context, failing to take into consideration the whole counsel of God.

Renee keeps apologizing throughout her video if people disagree with her, but she disagrees with God's Word! There is no controversy if you believe the Bible! She disregards Revelation 14:11, which teaches Hell is a place of smoke and torment, as merely being metaphoric (that's the word she uses). Who is Renee to decide what parts of the Bible are metaphoric or not? Metaphoric means to “express one thing in terms normally denoting another.” So according to Renee Roland “fire doesn't mean literal fire. Smoke doesn't mean literal smoke. Torment doesn't literally mean torment. That is some dangerous speculation Renee! I am only refuting her theological heresy, not her personally. Renee is very loud and bold to express her heretical views, which is why I felt compelled to write this article to counter her boldness to preach a bunch of lies!!! 

Kindly, Renee is arrogant to say that it hurts God's character to believe in everlasting punishment. She claims to believe in different degrees of punishment for mankind, but absolutely not everlasting punishment. The Bible 100% calls Renee a heretic and liar, theologically. At the end of her video she makes an appeal for people not to call her names like heretic, but that is exactly what she is. She asks people to agree to disagree. That is fine as far as loving and being “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints” (Jude 1:3). Since Renee is publishing YouTube videos with the intent to teach people her views, she is open game for criticism from others. It is fine to agree to disagree, but learned believers must still expose her falsehoods. Nobody gets a free pass. If I teach heresy, people come after me with the Bible, and they should! Proverbs 9:8, Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.” 

I Am Writing In A Spirit of Christian Love

I did NOT write this article to rebuke Renee; but rather, to help everyone else not to be deceived or confused by her false teachings. The Bible teaches Hell is forever! We must never interpret the Holy Bible by our own human understanding and standards. Renee rationalizes that since the worst sentence a human court could give a criminal is the death penalty, why would God burn someone in Hell forever and ever? You see, she is judging God by humans standards, which is very wrong to do. Dear reader, we must let the Bible correct us, and not us the Bible. 

I admit that I don't think God is fair to burn someone in Hell forever. You'd think after a trillion years that someone would have served their time in Hell. But it doesn't matter how I feel or think, because the Bible is God's Word, and I am commanded to lean not unto my own understanding, but to trust the Lord (Proverbs 3:5-7). Did you ever stop to wonder why God releases the Devil after 1,000 years from his chains (Revelation 20:7), to go out and deceive the world once more? Could it be that God wants to prove to humanity that giving someone a second chance doesn't make a difference? I mean, you'd think after 1,000 years of being bound in chains in the Bottomless Pit, that the Devil would be reformed. Yet, we see in the Scriptures that Satan's vile nature is still the same. Likewise, if God were to release a lost sinner from Hell after 1,000 years, would they be any different? I don't have an answer to that question, but it may explain why Hell is forever.

Regardless, we DO KNOW that the Bible teaches everlasting fire. There are many Scriptures that teach everlasting punishment in Hell fire for the wicked. Matthew 25:41, “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:” It is difficult for me to understand how Renee could dismiss all this solid Scriptural evidence as merely being “metaphoric.” That is exactly the error of Pastor John MacArthur, who in his 'The MacArthur Study Bible' says that, “BY HIS OWN BLOOD” in Hebrews 9:12 is metaphoric and actually refers to Jesus' “DEATH” on the cross instead. If you believe Mr. MacArthur you've got a hole in your head big enough to drive a semi-truck through! Likewise, Renee is very wrong. Fire means fire. Torment means torment. Smoke means smoke. Worms means worms. Unless the Bible says otherwise, we should ALWAYS interpret the Scripture at face value.

Is Renee saved? John 20:31 says that the Gospel of John is God's Gospel tract. John 20: 31, “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.The word Hell does not appear once in John. I could be wrong, but I do not find any requirement in the Bible to believe in everlasting punishment to be saved. You must know that you are a needy sinner (1st John 1:8-10). Why would you want to be saved if there is no penalty for sin? Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Renee said she believes in varying degrees of punishment in the afterlife, but not everlasting punishment. In my humble opinion she is saved, but confused on Hell. That doesn't make her unsaved, it just makes her a poor student of the Holy Bible.


Hell Is Real (Pastor Danny Castle)

Time Is Running Out Quick, Serve God While You Can

John 9:4, I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

Even the Lord knew that He was living on borrowed time from God the Father. We are all living on borrowed time. You may think if you are younger that you still have your whole life ahead of you, but I plead with you not to think that way, because today literally could be the LAST DAY of your life. I recently read that magician Criss Angel's 5 year old son has cancer. That is very sad. Also, singer Michael Buble's 5 year old son has cancer. Life is what happens to us while we're making big plans! Dear friend, you don't know what tomorrow holds, and neither do I; but we can study the Scriptures to find out what God has revealed in prophecy about the future

I am now 53 years old. I admit that I am amazed how fast my life has gone. I have lived a bitter-sweet life. I have suffered more than my share of sorrow, pain and heartache. My wife divorced me in 2006, against my will. I have not been able to find a wife since, and still live alone in 2020. I sometimes want to die because I cannot find a wife, and am so lonely. No one cares! We are living in a very selfish generation, and sadly the most selfish people I know are at Harvest Baptist Church on Guam, who have rejected my humble request to return to their church since 2017. God will deal with them on Judgment Day, refusing to give them a second chance, just as they have refused to love, forgive and give me a second chance (Matthew 7:1-2). These are “perilous times,” foretold in 2nd Timothy 3:1-7. Professed Christians today are cold, indifferent, phony and only care about their paychecks. 

This life will be over before we know it! I still feel like I am 18 years old, and it seems like just yesterday, but I am 53. If I live a normal lifespan, I only have 17 years left! I promise you young person, that you will be 50 years old before you know what happened. Many people today are in their 40's and still single, having missed out on marriage and parenting because of a career, living in a small town where they couldn't find anyone (which is my situation now), or alone because of their reclusive personality, living a secluded life (which is becoming the norm because of technology). Also, women aren't very approachable in this wicked generation because of the destructive influence of feminism (making women independent of men), and the media's sensationalism of domestic abuse (which has made many women paranoid of being abused in a bad relationship). This is not God's way.

I implore you friend to serve God while you still can. 1st Corinthians 15:34, “Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.” Every Christian believer has a duty to share the truth of the Gospel with those around us. We cannot witness to every person, and we ought to be respectful and ethical in our approach, but we have a responsibility to PREACH THE GOSPEL. In the parable of the 'Sower And The Seeds' in Luke 8:11-15 we are taught this truth. Verse 15 says, “But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.Clearly, God expects for every believer to mature to become a soulwinner. Those who don't have either backslid on God because of persecution (Luke 8:13); or have been choked by the cares, riches and pleasures of this temporary earthly life (Luke 8:14). Many preachers misinterpret Luke 8:11-15 to apply to salvation, but that is wrong. This parable is about maturing to become a soulwinner, evidenced by verse 15. 

Life is short, Hell is hot, and eternity is a long time. Whose blood will you have on your hands in eternity? Have you witnessed to your loved ones? When Lot spoke of spiritual things to his son-in-laws, they laughed at him as one who mocketh the Bible says, because Lot's personal testimony was so poor as a Christian. You are the only Jesus that somebody knows! This is exactly what the Holy Bible means in Hebrews 12:14, “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:” If we don't live godly in Christ Jesus, other people may go to Hell because of our poor testimony, not wanting anything to do with such type of phony Christianity. Someone is always watching!!!

Ephesians 5:16, “Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” Colossians 4:5, “Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.” Time is the most precious asset that we have. What are we doing with our time? Actually it is God's time, because the moment we accepted Christ as our Savior, we became God's property. We are bought with a price the Bible says (1st Corinthians 6:20), and that price in Jesus' precious blood (1st Peter 1:18-19). Most Christians watch far too much TV and don't spend enough time abiding in the Scriptures (John 5:39; Psalms 1:1-3). We are what we see, hear and think (Acts 4:20). That is why my favorite Bible verse is Proverbs 4:23, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”
“Church is a place where people should be able to hurt out loud. And I should be there to put my arms around those who are willing to hurt out loud.” —Evangelist Les Ollila, from the MP3 sermon, “The Judgment Seat Of Christ.”

I Never Knew You

Matthew 7:21-23, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”

There's your Lordship Salvation crowd in our text passage. They cried out “Lord, Lord,” but He did not know who they are. Lordship Salvation is a damnable false doctrine, a counterfeit gospel, which cannot produce the new birth in Christ Jesus. I find it highly ironic that the Bible would contain such a Scripture passage, when we've got a bunch of false teachers in church circles today, requiring people to make Jesus the absolute “Lord of their life to be saved. They say the proof you are saved is that you have turned away from your sins. Folks, that is Calvinism! That is works salvation! That is not the Gospel of free grace. The Bible plainly teaches in 1st John 3:24 that the evidence of one's salvation is the presence of the indwelling Holy Spirit, which only you and God can see. 1st John 3:24, “And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.” 

Jesus warned everyone in Matthew 7:21-23 that no matter how dedicated you may be to serving Him, that won't get you to Heaven. Please listen friend, because this is a matter of life and death. The Lord did not know this group of religious people! They cried out in their self-defense saying, “We prophesied IN THY NAME, we did many wonderful works IN THY NAME, we cast of devils IN THY NAME,” but Jesus said the horrifying words: “I NEVER KNEW YOU! They spent their lives LIVING FOR JESUS. They lived lifestyles of repentance to prove the reality of their repentance (as Ray Comfort foolishly teaches). 

Dear reader, will you also hear those horrifying words one day in eternity—I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME YE WORKERS OF INIQUITY!!! They said they had done “MANY WONDERFUL WORKS,” but what they called wonderful Jesus called iniquity!!! Why did Jesus say that? Why were their good works iniquity? What saith the Scriptures. Isaiah 64:6, “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.What an astounding truth—all of our righteousnesses are as FILTHY RAGS in the sight of God almighty! Let me ask you a question—If we cannot be saved by filthy rags, then why would you use those filthy rags to prove that you're saved? 

That is why Jesus said He did not know these religious people—because they went about to establish their OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, instead of trusting in GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS through faith alone in Jesus Christ (Philippians 3:9; Romans 10:3-4). You need “HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS” (John 6:33b). Will Christ one day deny knowing you friend? He will if you follow the junk theology of John MacArthur, Moody Bible Institute, John Piper, Ray Comfort, R.C. Sproul, Paul Washer, Chip Ingram, William Lane Craig, Charles Lawson and other reprobate Calvinists!!! Romans 10:3-4, “For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” That is why the folks didn't make it to Heaven in Matthew 7:21-23, they were self-righteous.
The dope crowd will not destroy America. The homosexual crowd will not destroy America. The baby killers will not destroy America. The communists will not destroy America. The Hollywood crowd will not destroy America. If America is destroyed, it will be destroyed because of the pastors who substituted visions, prophecies, dreams, man’s words, and tongues for the very words of God. Our God is not a God of "confusion." Yet, Satan is accomplishing "confusion" through 1,000 perversions of the Scriptures on the market. —Pastor Bob Gray Sr., “Do We have An Every Word Bible In 2017?

Abortion Is First Degree Murder!

Jeremiah 1:5, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”

What a beautiful passage of Scripture. before Jeremiah was even conceived in his mother's womb, God knew him! Think about the astounding implications of what that truth means! God lives in eternity. Before you or I were ever conceived, in God's mind He already knew all about us. God knew the sins that we would commit. God knew the loss, pain and suffering that would afflict us. God already knows the time we will die, and how, and why. Think how it would change your life, if you knew the exact day you would die! Yet, Hebrews 9:27 says we all have an appointment with death, and then the judgment! Are you ready?

There is not a more wicked evil in this universe than to take the life of a child in the womb. Abortion is nothing less than first-degree murder. The U.S. Supreme Court are devils! Who are those arrogant judges to flaunt their authority over God almighty? Hell will be filled with ungodly legislatures, lawyers and judges! The Holy Bible is adamantly clear in Exodus 20:13, “THOU SHALT NOT KILL.Abortion stops a beating heart. Only an insane person would dare to claim that a baby in the protection of its mother's womb is not a human being. That is what the ungodly U.S. government did to black people in the 19th century, ruling that a black person was only 4/5th of a man. By depriving a living child of life, men and women are playing God with the lives of others. 

American's character has been shaped by our culture of death! Nothing is sacred to this generation. The bed and marriage act are not held sacred anymore. Life is no longer held sacred. The inspired Word of God is no longer held sacred, being tampered with and changed at every impulse and whim. What is so shocking is that the majority of our sick society, including religious leaders, have accepted abortion as a normal part of American life. It is wickedness!!! Just as Abel's blood cried out to God from the ground in Genesis 4:10, so does the blood of nearly 60,000,000 murdered (aborted) human beings cry out to God from the ground for revenge. Genesis 4:10, “And he said, What hast thou done?  the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.”
Abortion doesn't make a woman unpregnant, it just makes her the mother of a dead baby!

Salvation And The Public Invitation

John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

All across the world, misguided preachers have been taught by peers to require people to walk down a church isle at invitation time to be saved. They have sinfully ADDED an additional step to God's plan of salvation. No where in the Holy Scriptures are we taught to walk down a church isle to be saved. What if a person is too scared to walk a church isle, or physically doesn't feel too well, or perhaps simply doesn't want to be made a spectacle of in front of the whole church? Why cannot they be saved right there in the pew? They certainly CAN, which is why every pastor and evangelist should tell lost sinners how to be saved in their pew. If they desire to walk an isle afterwards to stand in front of the church, then that opportunity can be given; but for some who don't want to go forward, at least they will be on their way to Heaven.

I was gloriously saved at age 13. Unfortunately, the pastor required everyone to come forward at invitation time, but I was too timid to go forward. I had been in Sunday School my whole life, but had never been saved. So I had enough knowledge from what I had learned, and from some of the things the pastor said that Sunday morning, to be saved from my pew. However, I had very limited knowledge. I cried out to Jesus as a needy sinner in my soul, and begged Jesus to save me. I believed that He had died for my sins on the cross, and that He was buried, and that He raised up. I called out to the risen Savior and He saved me!!! But because I had limited knowledge, I had many doubts, fears and questions in my mind, which would haunt me day and night for the next seven miserable years of my life. All of that could have been avoided, if the pastor that day had simply explained in detail how to be saved in my pew. The Gospel if presented correctly doesn't take more than one minute. 

God intentionally made His plan of salvation for mankind very simple. In 2nd Corinthians 11:3-4 we read about THE SIMPLICITY THAT IS IN CHRIST, which is 'The Gospel,' defined for us in 1st Corinthians 15:1-4 as Christ's death on the cross, burial and physical resurrection after three days. Repeatedly throughout the inspired King James Bible, we are simply taught to BELIEVE on the name of Jesus Christ to be saved. Acts 10:43, “To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.Even a small child can understand they are a needy sinner and trust in the name of Jesus to be saved. You must know are a needy sinner (Romans 3:19-20). What do you need? Why, you need a Savior (Acts 4:10-12; Galatians 3:24-26). Since you are a sinner, you cannot save yourself. 

No preacher should ever require someone to walk a church isle to learn how to receive the free gift of eternal life! God will hold such irresponsible pastors responsible on judgment day, who will have the blood of hundreds (if not thousands) of people on their hands, who didn't get saved because they ADDED to the Gospel. I am all for giving an invitation, but make sure to preach the Gospel to the man in the pew as well. You may never know who accepted Christ in the pew here on earth, but you';; find out in Heaven. I know that for every person who lets me know my website ministry led them to Jesus Christ, there are at least TEN MORE who didn't let me know. I praise God for them all, and someday in Heaven I'll find out and get to meet them for the first time. The true measurement of my earthly success won't be how many people show up at my funeral, but how many people are waiting to greet me when I get to Heaven. Amen!
“'You can't tell me you can trust Christ as Savior, and then go out here and live like the Devil, and still go to Heaven!' Yes, I can tell you that! That's what the Bible says. If you don't come to the conclusion, that—Yes, you can trust Christ as your Savior and live like the Devil, and still go to Heaven when you die—you don't get grace, because that is the exact truth! That is the truth! I do not have to change my life! I don't have to stop one sin! You say, 'I've never heard a preacher say that.' You just heard one! And you listen to me—I want to live as holy and as godly as I possibly can. I am now 70 years old. I've been saved for 52 years. ... the only reason I'm going to Heaven is because, 52 years ago in a little living room, I accepted Christ as my Savior.” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, a great quote from the awesome sermon, “Calvinism And Grace Are NOT Compatible | MP3

John Calvin And Martin Luther Are Burning In Hell

Galatians 1:9, “As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.”

John Calvin (1509-1564) was a religious heretic who lived 500 years ago. Calvin taught the heresy of infant baptism. He also taught the deception that religious sacraments are equal with the Word of God. Martin Luther (1483-1546) was another religious reprobate, who lived during the same time as John Calvin. Both of these reprobate men taught sacramental salvation, which includes both water baptism and communion. Of course, the word “sacrament” is not even found in the Holy Bible. Thus, Christians ought not observe sacraments at all. In fact, to observe sacraments is a sin and false religion.

In the New Testament Church, we only observe two ordinances: water baptism and the Lord's supper. These are not sacraments and do not bestow any special grace upon the participant. They are simply symbols. Water baptism symbolizes the Gospel, showing outwardly what has happened inwardly, that is, our faith in the death, burial and bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Likewise, the Lord's supper symbolizes Christ's broken body and shed blood for our sins on the cross. We do this in remembrance of the Lamb of God Who gave Himself for us.

John Calvin was a monster who murdered 58 people (including women and children) who disagreed with his infant baptism heresy. Calvin never changed himself, which proves Lordship Salvation a lie (which says a changed life is proof of salvation). We are saved by the simplicity that is in Christ, which is the Gospel (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4; Romans 1:16; 1st Corinthians 15:1-4). Getting saved is simple—you are a SINNER and Jesus is the SAVIOR! If you admit you are a needy SINNER, and you believe that the SAVIOR died on the cross to pay for your sins, was buried and raised up from the dead three days later, you are saved!

Martin Luther foolishly taught that water baptism and holy communion were MANDATORY for salvation, which makes him a devil preacher! I am so sick and tired of ungodly pastor today, who after being warned about Martin Luther, sinfully choose to continue promoting him. The Lutheran religion is of the Devil, who follow Martin Luther's heretical lies about salvation. Both Calvin and Luther taught sacramental salvation. I cannot warn you enough to stay away from the Lordship Salvation crowd today, who are Calvinists!!! Stay away from Moody Bible Institute, who are openly professed Calvinists. Avoid Dr. John MacArthur. Run away from Evangelist Ray Comfort! Stay away from Bob Jones University, where John MacArthur went to school!!! The Bob Jones crowd have become extremely ecumenical, hobnobbing with the ungodly religious world, embracing Satan's counterfeit Bible revisions by the dozens, and going along with a degree of worldliness and apostasy. 

One of the best books I've read, which you can freely read, which exposes Martin Luther is by Dr. Max D. Younce, called, 'Martin Luther: Master Of Deceit.' John Calvin was an unsaved reprobate who taught that a person cannot know they are saved without being water baptized. The reason I yoked these two apostates together in one blog article is because John Calvin was influenced by Martin Luther. Basically, Mr. Luther was Calvin's mentor. Both men were theologically corrupted. Luther came out of the Roman Catholic church, but the Roman catholic church never came out of him. Sacraments are rooted in devilish Catholicism!!! Whether seven sacraments or just two, they are unbiblical. 
The dope crowd will not destroy America. The homosexual crowd will not destroy America. The baby killers will not destroy America. The communists will not destroy America. The Hollywood crowd will not destroy America. If America is destroyed, it will be destroyed because of the pastors who substituted visions, prophecies, dreams, man’s words, and tongues for the very words of God.

Calvinism Is A Satanic Mindset

1st Corinthians 2:14, “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”

Billions of unsaved people (including religious people) cannot discern truth. Even many believers are confused, having been misled by corrupt preachers. Calvinism says you absolutely must make Jesus the Savior and Lord“” of your life to be saved, and that the proof you are saved is that you have turned away from your sins. Such teachers are devil-preachers in the pulpit! I'm talking about John MacArthur, Phil Johnson, Paul Washer, John Piper, R.C. Sproul, Chip Ingram, Charles Lawson and Ray Comfort. I'm talking about Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, who openly admit to being Calvinist on their college website. I'm talking about 30% of all Southern Baptist churches! 

Why Lordship Salvation Is Wrong
(a beautiful MP3 sermon by Pastor Ralph 
Yankee Arnold)

John Calvin (1509-1564) was an unsaved heretic who is today and forever burning in the fires of Hell! That is the horrifying truth. Salvation is solely of the Lord, because of what HE DID FOR ME, and not because of WHAT I DO FOR HIM! As Christians we SHOULD live for Christ; not MUST (that is works), not WILL (that would be Calvinism). If you have children, do they HAVE to love you to be your children? No, of course not. Likewise, every child of God is 100% safe in Christ, unable to lose salvation no matter how horribly we choose to sin. Granted, that doesn't give a believer God's permission to live in willful sin (Romans 3:31; Hebrews 12:6-8). Many preachers fail to discern the difference between SALVATION versus DISCIPLESHIP. The truth is still the truth, even if no one believes it; a lie is still a lie, even if everyone believes it! 

John Calvin's heretical teachings on salvation are commonly expressed and simplified with the acronym, T-U-L-I-P:
  1. TOTAL DEPRAVITY (man is too wicked and has no freewill to come to God, he must be enabled)
  2. UNCONDITIONAL ELECTION (God chooses who will be saved)
  3. LIMITED ATONEMENT (Christ only died for those whom God chose to be saved)
  4. IRRESISTIBLE GRACE (God forces salvation upon those whom He has chosen)
  5. PERSEVERANCE OF THE SAINTS (those who are saved will persevere in holy living, otherwise they are not saved)
We did not believe because God chose us; but rather, we were chosen by God because we believe. God has chosen to save every person who will trust Him (John 3:16). There you have it, Calvinism in a nutshell. All five of these teachings are Satanic!!!
“Can a man who's predestined to salvation really be lost before he is saved? If a man is predestined to salvation, why does he need to hear the Gospel? What would be the point?” —Pastor Yankee Arnold, pastor of Calvary Community Church in Tampa, Florida; "Why Lordship Salvation Is Wrong?"

The Insane Dinosaur Theory Of Young Earthers

Psalms 102:25, “Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.”

Someone handed me a book recently, trying to convince me of a Young Earth theory. I explained to them my Old Earth position, but told them that I would read the book with an open mind and be honest. The book is titled, “THE CREATION ANSWERS BOOK,” co-authored by Don Batten, David Catchpoole, Jonathan Sarfati, Carl Wieland and various other contributing writers. I learned a long time ago that someone's most ridiculous argument is the most damning information against them, which can be used to discredit the rest of their work or beliefs:

For example: Jehovah's Witnesses successfully confuse many unsaved people on the matter of Jesus' deity, teaching people that Jesus is “a god” but not “THE GOD.” However, what Jehovah's Witnesses DON'T teach people upfront is that they believe Michael the archangel became Jesus. When you present this ridiculous information to an honest person, they can much more easily recognize the Jehovah's Witnesses as a satanic religious cult. Of course, the Word of God totally disagrees. The Bible teaches that the Godhead became incarnate (flesh) in the earthly person of Jesus Christ (John 1:1-3,14; Colossians 2:9 — King James Bible). The Bible teaches that Jesus is almighty God, the revelation of the unseen Father (1st Timothy 3:16; John 10:33; Revelation 1:8 — King James Bible).

Likewise, the most ridiculous information (argument) put forth in the book “THE CREATION ANSWERS BOOK” is concerning dinosaurs and man co-existing. The four authors teach that Noah took baby dinosaurs onto the ark, which is the same garbage that Ken Ham teaches. On pages 247-248 we read:
“Given the different dinosaur species that have been identified, and the huge size of some of them [e.g., Seismosaurus, on the basis of fossil reconstructions attained lengths of 45 metres (150 feet)], some people might wonder how Noah could have taken all the dinosaur kinds onto the Ark. However, when one considers the following, there is no problem.
1. Only around 55 dinosaur 'kinds'
In Chapter 13, we discussed how Noah did not need to take all species (a notoriously flexible concept) on board the Ark, but only pairs of each created kind. The same principle applies to dinosaurs. So Noah's Ark did not have to carry the 668 or so named species of dinosaurs, rather, just the representative 'kinds' (Genesis 6:20)—of which it has been estimated there were only 55.”
SOURCE: “THE CREATION ANSWERS BOOK,”  copyright 2006 by Creative Ministries International; pages 247-248.
At the bottom of page 248, the book has a footnote that claims there are many duplicate names for dinosaurs, and that the actual number of species is “greatly inflated.” This claim may actually have some merit, as National Geographic reports. However, as the National Geographic article says, there is not enough fossil evidence to prove the claim one way or the other. Wikipedia says there is a list of 1,466 dinosaur species, of which 1,080 are considered valid. This is certainly much higher than the alleged 55 species that “THE CREATION ANSWERS BOOK” claims. The question is, “Could all those dinosaurs fit on the Ark?” I think not! The very idea is absurd!

Check out this page from National Geographic's on Big Bad Bizarre Dinosaurs! (check out those TEETH). Did Noah bring these onto the Ark? I think not! ...
“After two centuries of paleontological harvest, the evidence seems stranger than any fable, and continues to get stranger. Dozens of new species emerge each year; China and Argentina are hot spots lately for startling new finds. Contemplating the bizarre specimens recently come to light, one cannot but wonder what on earth Nature was thinking of. What advantage was conferred, say, by the ungainly eight-foot-long (2.4 meters) arms and huge triple claws of Deinocheirus? Or, speaking of arms, by Mononykus's smug dependence on a single, stoutly clawed digit at the end of each minimal forearm? Guesses can be hazarded: The latter found a single stubby claw just the thing for probing after insects; the former stripped the leaves and bark from trees in awesome bulk. A carnivorous cousin, Deinonychus, about the size of a man, leaped on its prey, wrapped its long arms and three-fingered hands around it, and kicked it to the death with sickle-shaped toenails.”

Read here about new Horned Dinosaurs that have been found by archaeologists. Noah's Ark would have to keep increasing in size, because more and more species of dinosaurs are being discovered every year! The ark was big, but not THAT BIG! Look at some of these Prehistoric Creatures. They're called “prehistoric” for a good reason, that is, they existed before human history!!!

When I went to Los Angeles for neck surgery in 2009, I visited the famous LA BREA TAR PITS MUSEUM in downtown Los Angeles. They are literal tar pits, stinking with hot bubbling black tar. Some squirrels and birds get entrapped in the tar pits by accident and die unintentionally. I watched them doing some live excavations inside the Museum, still digging up fossils and meticulously sorting through them with special equipment and a magnifying glass to find fossils.

I sincerely, but ignorantly, went inside and asked where the dinosaurs were? The attendant laughed and said there were no dinosaurs there, only prehistoric Mammals. I was fascinated by that. It is a special museum just for prehistoric mammals, and not for dinosaurs like The Field Museum in Chicago. Inside the entrance was a giant Mammoth with giant tusks, and a Sabertooth tiger, and other hairy creatures as tall as the ceiling. How did Noah fit all the thousands of prehistoric mammals and creatures besides dinosaurs onto the ark? Clearly, Noah did not! Furthermore, even if dinosaurs did survive the flood, there is no record of them going extinct. Science shows that it was the Ice Age that wiped out the dinosaurs from the earth 65,000,000 years ago. Visit The “La Brea Tar Pits” Online

I love Dr. John R. Rice (1895-1980), but disagree with his Young Earth view. Dr. Rice believed that dinosaurs existed in Genesis, but that Noah left the dinosaurs behind. Brother Rice taught that dinosaurs lived in remote areas away from major living centers, just as wild animals like lions and hippopotamuses live today in remote areas and the jungles of Africa, India and South America. However, there is nothing in the Bible to indicate that Noah was told by God to leave certain animals behind. Even the birds couldn't have survived without being sheltered on-board the Ark. I think it is silly to think that ferocious dinosaurs of all types wouldn't have made their way to eat humans for dinner! There is no scientific evidence to evidence that mankind ever lived together with dinosaurs. Science evidences that dinosaurs lived 65,000,000 to 220,000,000 years ago, which is Biblically supported. 

I don't see Noah bringing prehistoric Pterodactyls on board (really big birds). If you consider all the thousands of species that exist in the world today, and all the thousands of extinct prehistoric creatures, there's no way possible that Noah could have brought them all on the ark for their shear size. Noah had plenty of room for all the animals, insects, reptiles, birds and living creatures which God led to the ark in pairs. The dinosaurs didn't have a ticket to ride.

God Bless President Donald Trump

The suspense is killing me...lol. It looks like Mr. Trump has won the election (he has 52% of the vote so far, and Kamala 46%), but it's...
