Arnold Schwarzenegger's Tragic Religious Beliefs

John 3:3-7, “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.”

I was sad a few days ago when I found this disturbing article about Hollywood actor Arnold Schwarzenegger's religious faith...
Arnold Schwarzenegger Recently Described Heaven as a 'Fantasy' in an Interview
Arnold Schwarzenegger is still keeping busy, but many want to know what the 'FUBAR' star's views on religion are at this point in his life.

Although he isn't the marquee superstar that he once was, Arnold Schwarzenegger still has plenty of star power left in his tank. The former California governor is now doing press to promote his new Netflix show FUBAR, and a recent interview he gave has raised eyebrows when it comes to his religious beliefs. 
Now, in the aftermath of the interview, many are wondering what Arnold really thinks about religion, and how his views might have changed over the course of his life. Here's what we know. ...
Arnold isn't so sure that heaven is real.
In a more recent interview with Danny DeVito, Arnold cast some skepticism on the idea that heaven s anything more than a fantasy.

"It reminds me of Howard Stern’s question to me," Arnold said during their conversation for Interview Magazine. "‘Tell me, governor, what happens to us when we die?’ I said, ‘Nothing. You’re six feet under. Anyone that tells you something else is a f--king liar.’"

"I said, ‘We don’t know what happens with the soul and all this spiritual stuff that I’m not an expert in, but I know that the body as we see each other now, we will never see each other again like that,'" he added.

Danny chimed in, adding "we deteriorate."

..."Except in some fantasy," the Terminator actor continued. "When people talk about, ‘I will see them again in heaven,’ it sounds so good, but the reality is that we won’t see each other again after we’re gone. That’s the sad part. I know people feel comfortable with death, but I don’t. Because I will f--king miss the s--t out of everything. To sit with you here, that will one day be gone?"
Isn't that tragic? Arnold thinks when you're dead, that's it. He doesn't believe in a literal Heaven or a literal Hell. I feel sad for him. How can you go to Heaven if you don't even believe in Heaven?


I personally like Arnold Schwarzenegger. I love his acting in Terminator, Predator and other popular movies he has starred in. Since I didn't live in California, I can't really comment on his performance as California's Governator... lol. As messed up as the state of California has been for the past half century, I really couldn't fault any one man for not being able to save the state from itself. And then of course, there is Arnold's body-building career. He actually won the Mr. Olympus World Championship titled for ten years in the 1970's. The pictures of Arnold's muscular physique back then was nothing short of breathtaking. He admits to using steroids, which is obvious to anyone who knows even the least bit about steroids. Wow!

But now, 40 years later, Arnold Schwarzenegger is just a normal looking guy, with average sized muscles. That is because once you stop taking the steroids, you lose the muscles that the steroids helped you gain. Thankfully Arnold took the steroids under the supervision of a doctor. Many body builders have died from taking steroids who didn't know what they were doing, or pushed it too far too fast. The human heart can only take so much abuse!

On a side note, the phony type of Christianity that they practice at Pensacola Christian College (PCC) today is like Christianity on steroids. PCC looks all big and bad to the religious world, but when all is said and done everybody will realize how pathetic, wimpy and small they really are in God's eyes. PCC is a disgrace to the Christian world today, treating people like garbage. To God ALL LIVES MATTER, but at PCC and their pathetic Campus Church only SOME LIVES MATTER. I say that to their utter shame and contempt. I digress.

I wish Arnold Schwarzenegger would come to Christ to be saved. Hollywood makes men and women filthy rich, so that they forget about God and think that they don't need a Savior, but they do. Oh they do need a Savior! Arnold Schwarzenegger is now 75 years old and aging quickly. The guy is amazing! Yet, the Bibles asks, what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet dies in his sins and loses his soul? Jesus Himself said in no uncertain terms in John 3:3b, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger has no faith in Jesus Christ. That means he is not saved. That is, he has never been born-again by the Holy Spirit of God. Jesus plainly warned in 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.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger said he grew up in the Roman Catholic church. Catholicism is s prisonhouse of religion. You'll never get to Heaven through keeping the damnable Seven Sacraments of the Catholic cult. Albeit, although Schwarzenegger grew up in Roman Catholicism, he clearly has departed from it (thank God). That's a good start to coming to Christ!

For an unsaved religion person, you first have to convince them that they are wrong in their faith. So it is good in a sense that Schwarzenegger doesn't believe in Catholicism, because now he is only one step away from being saved instead of two. I have often said that the hardest thing about getting people saved is first getting them lost. Arnold is lost, he just needs to come to Jesus Christ alone in faith to be saved. Dear reader, if you will simply come to God as a guilty sinner, and believe that Jesus has already done it all for you through Calvary's cross, believing that Jesus is risen from the dead, you will be instantly and forever saved.

It is my sincere hope and prayer (I just prayed for Arnold Schwarzenegger) that the Lord will give him another opportunity to be saved (maybe even read this blog online), and come to faith in the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. John 6:47, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.”
