“For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.
Jeremiah 25:14 KJV

“Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. ”
2 Corinthians 11:15 KJV

“12 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. 13 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. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. ”
Revelation 20:12-15 KJV

Hell will be filled with people who don't believe in Hell!

Revelation 20:10
10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

And BILLIONS of humans will receive the exact same future. Jesus said so.


Matthew 25:41

41 Then He will also say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:

This was the "Why only us?" question I had to grapple with as a young adult.

Is it true? Heaven is only for Christians? What does that even mean?

Since the Bible does not support the existence of living “souls” after death, there can be no NDE’s that are genuine. An NDE (near death experience) is NOT an ADE. (after death experience)

The devil can give people false ideas through visions and things that appear to be unexplainable. Those who have “visitations” from deceased loved ones who can tell details of things in their lives that only they would know.....if there is no immortal soul, (which is not a Bible teaching) then who else could provide those details because they have been around since the beginning and know everything about us through observation.

Do they have an agenda to support? Yes they do….a perpetuation of the devil’s first lie, which was “you surely will not die”, when God said they would…..Adam was told that death was a return to the dust of the earth, not that he had a soul that would live on after he stopped breathing.…Adam was not told about heaven or hell….just life or death.….so, who lied?

Originally there was no need to any human to go to heaven….no reason for Jesus to come as redeemer, and no sin to cause death….imagine what that meant for the human race?!

It totally does Aunty! You should read the Bible some time, instead of WatchTower poison. Do you still believe Jesus and CYB are Satanic?

No, it doesn’t.
Maybe you should read the Hebrew text, so you will learn something.

Numbers 6:6…”All the days of his keeping separate to Jehovah he may not come toward any dead soul.”
  • Heb., neʹphesh meth; LXX, “deceased soul”; Sy, “soul of the dead”; Lat., morʹtu·um, “someone dead.” (Compare Leviticus 21:11, Hebrew text.)


  • And on & on.

  • You’ve been misled, cousin.

Even Jesus said He was going sacrifice his “soul” in our behalf.
Matthew 20:28…”Just as the Son of man came, not to be ministered to, but to minister and to give his soul* a ransom in exchange for many.”

* Or, “life.” Gr., psy·khenʹ; Lat., aʹni·mam; J17,18,22(Heb.), naph·shohʹ, “his life.”

No, Jesus never used the term “burn in hell”, or “hellfire”.

Ge*enna (= Γέεννα) has nothing to do with Hades (= ᾍδης).

Christendom’s religions have merged the terms in their Bibles, but they have also approved of their members killing one another, brothers killing brothers, so why believe them?
They’ve been heavily influenced by the pagan world.

Mark 9:43-44
43 If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched--
44 where 'Their worm does not die, And the fire is not quenched.'
Ge*enna (= Γέεννα) has nothing to do with Hades (= ᾍδης).

Christendom uses the terms, but they also kill their brothers, so why believe them?

Matthew 5:22
22 Whoever says, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire.

Jack doesn’t want to know the truth….only Jesus can tell him….I think we should let him find out the truth from the only one he will believe….no point wasting our breath on these things…..shake the dust off…

The testimony of the Hindu in the video was entirely biblical. And from someone with no knowledge of the Bible.

Your reading comprehension skills are less than ideal for someone so determined to grapple with the big issues off life. You have presumed I am saying everyone will go to heaven. Read it again.
You did not make that clear enough . Even i thought its what you meant .
That is why ST STEVEN LOVED IT . HE too thought that .
Go back and make sure to remind all of the DIRE necessity to beleive on JESUS .
cause a lot of people will read what you say and probably take it wrong too .

The devil can quote Scripture too you know….don’t underestimate him.
YES he can . HE can even say GOD IS LOVE
and yet he will twist this to make the path very broad and sin accepting .
The devil IS a liar and he has many who now do his work
as they preach UNBELEIF and give out false hope to the lost .

It's a selling point. Make the mark think he's gotta have your product.

But if all we're doing is peddling product, I should've taken that Amway job. (Actually, selling encyclopedias door-to-door. Glad I turned that one down.)

What that Hindu saw does no good for the devil.
Sure, this incident does “good for the devil”!
It has reinforced your belief in interfaith, hasn’t it?

Come on, you’re smart enough to see through this deception. The purpose behind it.

Hindus don't' have the same Jesus Christian's have. Christian words are used by other religions to sound more "church" like. When a Christian has a conversation with a cult person, they sound Christian, but the definitions are deferent. That's why people get into cults, because they sound Christian and are fooled.

And now the worlds largest cult is being formed .
By what most see as love and what the religoins see as love and of God .
JESUS has been denied . This world is gonna pay a heavy price
for turning its back on GOD . and woe wail and double woe wail to all who did so using JESUS own name .
The hour of our betrayal draws nigh .
