Good morning everyone and God bless you all! It's another lovely, rainy day here in Ukiah, CA. It was very cold and wet here last night and I was, and am, very grateful to have a shelter to stay in.
     This morning I was watching videos on YouTube and came across the video that is at the bottom of this posting. I don't get on YouTube very often, but I am glad that I did this morning. It discusses Hell and how so many people think that they are not going there, specifically professing followers of Christ.
     I cannot tell you how many "Christians" I have come across who do not believe that God is going to throw anyone into Hell. These people say that they have read the Bible, they say that they follow Christ, yet they do not believe Christ's own words. He spoke more about Hell than He did about Heaven. How can someone who professes to be a child of God pick out of God's Word what he/she likes and completely disregard the rest?
     I spoke to a guy once who said that he was a Christian. He said that he did not believe in Hell and in eternal torments. I asked him how he could consider himself to be a Christian and yet disregard such an important aspect of the Christian faith. He said that he believed that the parts of the Bible that speak of Hell were either added in later, or simply mistranslated. How convenient! Yeah, let's just take out the uncomfortable parts of the Bible and rationalize our actions by saying that God never intended those uncomfortable parts to be in His Word!
     When I was a practicing Wiccan, that was one of the things that I loved about that religion. You could pick the best things from a number of religions and incorporate them into your own beliefs. It seems that people are doing that with the Bible.
     Honestly, I am kind of speechless after watching this and I know that it convicted me on a few things. So, I am going to keep this short and let you all just see it for yourselves.
     Be sure to check out this video. Sure, the guy speaking gets pretty negative at times, but how can you speak positively about anything having to do with such a horrible place as Hell?
     Until next week, God bless you all!
