If the toughest thing you can think of is hellfire then you do not know squat about heaven.
**If the toughest thing you can think of is hellfire then you do not know squat about heaven.**
If you can’t see hell AND heaven in those quotes FROM Jesus, John the baptist, and Paul, (not from me) then you need to read them again real slow.
Jesus said “escape”. Is there another place besides heaven to escape to?
John said “flee from”. Fleeing from damnation of hell means heading for the only other destination.
Paul said “unworthy of everlasting life”. Where is everlasting life.......oh,yeah.
Those preachers were unafraid to rip the people that claimed a form of godliness. They were ‘tough’ when the situation called for it.
Preaching to the hungry soul is easy. Preaching to those that are proud and/or selfrighteous, can be putting one’s self in harm’s way; that takes toughness. But, that’s what God expects from his FAITHFUL witnesses, and he empowers them to carry out the job before them.
Stephen preached the truth to the ‘religous right’ of his day, rebuking them at the end for their hard heartedness. You know how that ended.
I think Mr Robertson knew he was going to ‘step on some toes’, but, he had to let his yea be yea, and his nay be nay. That’s being true to the Word.
