Imagine being here…

Most pastors, preachers, priests, ministers, vicars, and reverends won’t ever speak or preach on it. The overwhelming majority prefer the worldly approach to keep backsides in pews and seats. The kid glove, soft words, the appealing and appeasing words rather than the necessary words. Who is going to the pulpit asking the Holy Spirit to have them merely as a humble instrument of the Lord in which the Holy Spirit will provide the words?

Not many. Oh, they exist. The Church in America, in the West, does still exist. But oh the times they are not only a changin’ they have changed mightily. To the degree of what constitutes Christianity and living, thinking, and being a Christian is unrecognizable from only 50, or 60 years ago.

Tragic, with eternally tragic consequences — for it is the smaller, Bible-centered, Bible-preaching, Bible-teaching, and Bible-exhorting…the whole Bible and nothing but the Bible churches that are seeing growth. Perhaps people seek and yearn for the truth, the whole truth of God’s eternal Word?

Imagine being here…

Forever. Your eternal soul in this place [see the article below following my brief comments]. Forever. No leaving. Ever. Eternally, as in a long, long, long neverending timeframe. And contrary to the lies put in the minds and on the tongues, through the fingers of those that write, including some present day pastors and professed Christians, not everyone goes to heaven, and, yes, there is a hell. A literal hell. A literal lake of fire to be cast into…forever. As in eternally. No getting out. Ever…

Everything in the Bible is actual, factual, and really real. Real history. The truest truth. The actual factual reality of what was, what is, and what is to come. It’s all been unfolding since the beginning. Everything is in place for the end of things as they have been known from the beginning. All the pieces fall into place while men and women imagine they are their own gods, they can make everything how they want things to be. Omitting God. Omitting and denying the Word of God. Denying the truth regarding the Lord Jesus Christ. Don’t underestimate, brush aside, scoff, mock, or deny God much longer if that is your mode of operation daily, nightly in this life He has given you and blessed you with, and every life is a blessing — contrary to the lies put into people’s mind and off their tongues, through their fingers by their master, the Evil One, Satan.

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

John 3:36 — English Standard Version

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Isaiah 5:20 — King James Version

Even those who profess to be Christian while never truly knowing the renewing of their mind and spirit, not truly knowing and experiencing the regeneration, the transformation within by the power of the Spirit of God, and to all those pagans, though they don’t see them as such, all those unbelieving which dominate this land, this world…

Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out,

Acts 3:19 — English Standard Version

testifying both to Jews and to Greeks [any non-Jew person throughout world history] of repentance toward God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Acts 20:21 — English Standard Version

The above is not personal interpretation. There are always two different kinds of people on this earth.

The Jew, and everyone else. Every other pagan, alien to God person.

The true believer in God, in Jesus as Lord and Saviour, and belief in the Holy Spirit and in the whole of the Word of God, thusly converted, born anew, regenerated by their faith in Christ by the free gift of grace from God, be that person Jew or any other people on earth.

And everyone other. Everyone else. Every unbelieving, or merely going through the motions in an attempt to “be a good person” thinking foolishly and vainly contrary to God’s Word they can earn their way into eternal life in heaven — or they downright are adamant in their refusing to believe anything pertaining to God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit or what it within the Holy Bible.

Only two sorts all the time. Everywhere.

And some are going to spend their eternity with God, with the Lord Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit in heaven…

…while many others find their eternal souls going elsewhere…

This is not to scare you, although we all ought to fear the Lord and know He is the Judge of where our eternal souls will spend their eternities. Fear is a good thing. Contrary to the modern lie stating otherwise. No, this is to hopefully get someone to pause from their racing through their daily life. To stop and be silent. Allowing the most important deep thoughts to enter in. And to listen to the voice of God, perhaps for the first time, perhaps finally, perhaps once again.

Scientists Just Discovered a Literal Hell

Wednesday, February 8, 2023

Scientists have found Hell on Earth. Well, more accurately: Hell in Earth.

In a new study  in the journal Nature Geoscience, researchers from the University of Texas detected a layer of molten rock hidden under Earth’s tectonic plates, about 100 miles from the surface and exceeding 2,600 degrees Fahrenheit.

In the past, scientists believed molten melt existed in patches, but the new findings reveal the global extent of the molten layer and its relationship to plate tectonics. The layer is part of the asthenosphere, which sits under Earth’s tectonic plates in the upper mantle and gives needed topography, forming a relatively soft boundary that lets plates move through the mantle. Without the softness, Earth’s upper layers would be too rigid for tectonic plate movement.

“When we think about something melting, we intuitively think that the melt must play a big role in the material’s viscosity,” Junlin Hua, research lead from the University of Texas Jackson School of Geoscience, says in a news release. “But what we found is that even where the melt fraction is quite high, its effect on mantle flow is very minor.”

That means the heat and rock in the mantle have the influence on the motion of tectonic plates, giving less prominence to the molten layer. So even though Earth’s interior is largely solid, “over long periods of time, rocks can shift and flow like honey,” Hua says.

The melt layer doesn’t have any influence on plate tectonics. Instead, coauthor Thorsten Becker says the layer is more a byproduct of what is happening on Earth.

“Through this study, not only do we have a much better understanding of the internal dynamics of the planet,” co-author Esteban Gazel, of Cornell University, says in a news release, “but also the physical properties of a boundary layer that really is critical for everything, including life on Earth.”
