| "Rick C. Hodgin" <rick.c.hodgin@gmail.com>: Jul 12 12:59PM -0700 The Bible records people will be summoned by name. Earth and Heaven are fleeing from the Throne of God, and you are being drawn to His Throne for judgment. It's actually called "The Great White Throne Judgment." There, the books of your life are opened. What's in those books? That stuff from your past? Your youth? The early sin you did in your wild days? Yes. It's all there. Plus, things you didn't even realize was sin. And it's all recorded in perfect detail, as if someone with a great 3D holographic camcorder was following you around for your entire life recording everything you've ever done ... in public, in private, in secret, when you were alone, when nobody else saw what you did. That 3D holographic camcorder did, and every last detail is written down in the books of Heaven. You're going to be summoned into a type of room you don't want to be in. You're going to come face to face with things you don't want to come face to face with. You're going to hear the list of things you're guilty of read before all of creation, and you will weep at how heinous you've been in the sight of a Holy, Holy, Holy God. And you will be found guilty and sentenced to the only sentence suitable for you, an eternal being made in the very image and likeness of God, literally a god (lower-case "G") as is taught us in the Bible. The only punishment suitable for a god is that which God Almighty has created ... Hell. Hell is a place of burning fire. It's a place of unending torment. The Bible records there will be no presence of God there, and the worm will not die, neither will there be any water to quench the raging heat. Only flames and agony and torment and a binding of such powerful degree that it will consume you completely, and you will never have any ability to experience anything ever again, save the raging pain. ------ This fate awaits all who do not come to Jesus and have their sin forgiven. Jesus came to offer you a choice. He came to offer you the ability to forego all of that, and to come to Him and simply say, "Jesus, I am a sinner. I have sinned. I need to be forgiven. I do not want to go to Hell," and He will forgive you. God does not want to judge anybody. He's made a way out through His Son for everybody. But those who will not listen to His call, who will not come and ask forgiveness, repenting of their wrong- doing in His sight, what I described above remains charged to their soul's account, and that soul will have to pay the bill for the sin, rather than Jesus paying the bill for the sin. ----- It's your choice. Jesus gives you the way out. He gives you a full pardon just for the asking. He saves you from burning alive forever in utter torment for free, just or coming to Him and stating the obvious: that you are a sinner, and that you need to be forgiven. Can you do that? Can you save your eternal soul? Or do you want to jump headlong into those flames and burn and burn and burn and burn and burn and burn and burn forever? Who would choose the fiery flames end of their life? What kind of man would say, "No" to Heaven and paradise in God's own Holy glowing presence, and, "Yes" to Hell and its unending fire and pain? Only those who are pursuing falseness will choose Hell, because they are moving falsely, all the while thinking they are moving rightly, all because of sin's corruption on our ability to reason correctly here in this flesh. We need the spirit to know the truth, and only Jesus can set us on the right path to know the truth, and only God the Father can know we desire to know the truth and then alter us sufficiently to be able to even find it in our fallen, corrupt-in-sin state. ----- With everything within me: PLEASE! Read these posts. They are the only path you are given to life eternal in peace, love, and unending joy. And the path you're on today ends in a lake of fiery torment that never ebbs, never dries out, never calms down. It rages in fullest flame forever. Thank you, Rick C. Hodgin |
| "Rick C. Hodgin" <rick.c.hodgin@gmail.com>: Jul 12 03:31PM -0700 Those who are forgiven have a new life. The old life passes away, all things are become new. All things. All aspects. All divisions. All formats. All goals. Everything is changed by Jesus Christ. https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/2%20Corinthians%205:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life]. The new life brings a new purpose. It changes everything from the inside: https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/2%20Corinthians%205:15 And He died for all, so that all those who live might live no longer to and for themselves, but to and for Him Who died and was raised again for their sake. ----- If you're still living for self, you are dead in self. If you ask forgiveness from Him, and live for Him, you are alive by Him, as is evidenced by your new life focus. Thank you, Rick C. Hodgin PS - Do you want to live on after you leave this world? Jesus is the way. The only way because of the cross. |

There's a story about Esau in the Bible. What was it he sold his birthright for? It's akin to what people do here on Earth, selling their birthright (to be the redeemed sons of God) for a short stint of doing whatever they want in rebellion here upon this Earth. Remember: this life yields to eternity, but eternity never yields. We'll be spending a lot longer there than we are here, and keeping up the rebellion against God here on Earth comes with a stiff, stiff price ... more than anybody will want to pay.

It is not only a possibility. These are real observations of real people. People lied to me people betrayed me. Then they prayed to their imagined god and were "forgiven". Then they continued lying and betraying. This was also an observation of a friend who came as a new teacher into a school in a mostly catholic neighborhood. He told me they lie and steal the whole week on Sunday they go to church, confess and are forgiven. The next week they continue the same way. My observation with religious people is that they unconsciously notice that this religion is all a lie and does not comply with reality. This continuous lying to themselves make them behave the same against others. Fortunately I live now in a country (TW) where these believers in a single god are a total minority. But still they are trying to force their believe system on the whole society, and complain about being suppressed if they do not have success. The same type of continuous lie. -- Reinhardt |

A lot of people use this argument when talking about the reasons why they don't see Christianity as viable. They say people are hypocrites, for example, and that they do bad things and just because they pray and ask forgiveness they are forgiven. That's not how it works. People will have done bad things in their past, and when they come to Jesus and repent and ask forgiveness, He forgives them, but that does not give them a license to keep on sinning. They are expected (by the Lord) from that point forward to no longer go out and be purposefully sinning. People will always make periodic mistakes, but that doesn't mean their life will be a pattern of ongoing sin, for such a pattern provides evidence they were never truly saved in the first place, and are still just as lost as they were before ... the only difference now is that they "have found religion." Religion won't save you. Religion is a trap. It locks you down to a set of rules that appease your conscience so you feel like you're doing good, but it's not a regeneration. It's not what Jesus calls us to. Jesus calls us to be truly in repentance, so He can truly forgive us, so that in being forgiven a real transaction takes place, and the person is born again spiritually. All people who are born again spiritually will be fundamentally changed from the inside out. Their lives will change and they will receive a complete overhaul that is evident from that day forward. They may stumble and make mistakes at times, but they will always regroup, apologize, move forward, and the same things which knocked them down before will not continue to knock them down over time. > school in a mostly catholic neighborhood. He told me they lie and steal the > whole week on Sunday they go to church, confess and are forgiven. The next > week they continue the same way. A lot of people believe this is what it's about. It's not, and they are the ones the Lord talked about when He said not everyone who calls upon Him saying even, "Lord, Lord," (stated twice to indicate the strong emphasis of their calling) will enter in to the Kingdom of Heaven, but only those who do the will of His Father who is in Heaven. Jesus calls us to be real in our walk. Not pretenders. And all who are born again will have this automatic polarity shift from within that moves us away from our former ways, and toward the ways He would truly have us do. > My observation with religious people is that they unconsciously notice that > this religion is all a lie and does not comply with reality. This continuous > lying to themselves make them behave the same against others. You are correct. Religion is a lie. Religion has no regenerative power whatsoever. Christianity is not a religion. For some people that's all it will ever be. But when a person comes to Jesus and asks for forgiveness for their sin, it begins a relationship. From that day forward, He comes to dwell within their heart and He is constantly guiding them away from wrong things, and toward right things. We still have the inertia of this flesh, our past life, our friends, the unsaved people in this world, and it is really quite hard to live out a holy life ... but Jesus does call us to live out a holy life on purpose, for Him, so that we can be effective servants of His Father's Kingdom. ----- > system on the whole society, and complain about being suppressed if they do > not have success. > The same type of continuous lie. It's good that you see the hypocrisy in many who profess to be Christians. It means you have the correct discernment and are able to recognize that what you see is NOT what Jesus calls us to. No people who are hypocrites will enter in to Heaven. But only those who are really transformed by the born again spirit nature. It is that type of regeneration I point people to, Reinhardt.

Consider what Jesus told people. Many people begin in verse 19 here, but it really goes back to verse 18: http://biblehub.com/kjv/matthew/28.htm 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. He has foundational authority which supersedes all other authority. And when you consider what He is asking us to do with that authority, and I'm not talking about what Reinhardt was talking about where those who profess to be Christians lie and cheat and do bad things all week and then go to confession and poof! all better, for that type of lifestyle is as bad as the full-on sinner, worse actually because they are operating under the color of being saved by Jesus Christ and they will receive greater condemnation, but what Jesus asks us to do is go and teach others: 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: People think this is a water baptism. But I am convinced that it is not just a water baptism, but is a full-on immersion in God, meaning that every aspect of our lives is to be surrendered to the Lord, so that He can guide us on what to keep, what to alter, and what to toss away. 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Why does He ask us to observe all things whatsoever He has commanded us? We're no longer under the Law of Moses, so what does it matter? It has to do with the fact that His ways are profitable, and lead us away from sin, and keep us on the strait-and-narrow path to life. It is also the constant inner reminder from His Holy Spirit that we are to not be like the world, but that our focus is to be upon Him and His Kingdom, so that others around us can see a true witness and glorify the Father in Heaven when they stand before Him someday and bear witness to our activities in this world. ----- Ian, as much as you do not like these posts, they are given you for a reason (and others for the same reason). They are here to guide you toward that which you are in rebellion against today, so that you too are given the opportunity to be saved because God also wants you to be with Him in Heaven.

To give you a short version of my reply: Yeah, the Lord doesn't call us to be like that. Those people have religion and are not saved. Being saved means you are literally transformed from the inside out because when your sins are truly forgiven, a real transaction takes place and God supernaturally reaches into the invisible aspects of your life and pulls your sin away from you (as if taking off a dirty jacket so that you no longer possess it), and places it upon His Son on the cross. In that instant, you are then no longer having sin, which makes you alive again spiritually. When you are alive again spiritually, your entire world view is augmented by this new source of input, which is spirit. You are then able to know and understand new things, and the old things also are re-understood now in new ways, and it all comes together in a real, inner, permanently changed, life. Jesus != religion. Jesus = salvation. It takes a real drawing from God the Father (John 6:44) to be changed, and all who are drawn are saved and they will pass from death to life and become shining lights for the Lord in this world. The rest have religion and are just as lost after as they were before. Thank you, Rick C. Hodgin |

You don't tell them that you are Christian. You tell them that you are someone of authority, a teacher, a priest, a reborn, a saint, who helps them save from their sins, who prays for them and so on. That sounds like usual false prophet lies. Jesus AFAIK suggested to look at the fruits of such people. What are your fruits? That everybody hate you? Good fruits indeed. > > since they believe that such god does not exist whatsoever. How to hate > > something that does not exist? > It's not a majority rules thing. What? Your usual absurd bananas how everybody hate Jesus, worship Satan, love doing their mistakes and will be punished for it. Where, who? You can't point at no one. Yes, posting such nonsense is why people dislike you. Not Jesus, not God, you. And you know that and do it specially. |

I have never said I am someone of authority.

It is what Jesus taught, Öö Tiib: http://biblehub.com/luke/11-23.htm 23 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. http://biblehub.com/john/3-18.htm 18 Whoever believes in [Jesus] is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. We are already dead in sin, Öö Tiib. We are already under judgment. What Jesus offers us is THE ONLY way out of that condemnation. And He offers it for free. ----- You accuse me of teaching false things, or intruding here upon this forum and other forums with the message of salvation, and that I am doing to improperly. Have you read the Bible? Have you studied who Jesus is? Why He came to the Earth? What He offers us? What will happen to us if we do not receive His free offer? You consider it all to be fantasy and fake, so you are using man's reasoning rather than the guidance and teaching of God to come to your conclusions. So, how can they be valid in God's eyes? They can only be valid in man's eyes ... and man is perishing in sin. Thank you, Rick C. Hodgin |
