The Bible tells us God is angry with the wicked every single day. Psalms 7:10 to 12 God doesn't want to send people to hell but it exists and most people are headed there. Ignorantly people do evil not realizing what awaits them. Woe they get to spend eternity with their father the devil and their true master.
Vain in their imaginations
What is truth according to Pontius Pilate?
Disclaimer please understand the question. Pontius Pilate wanted to know what the truth was but he could never have understood it because he was lost not saved and had the true Messiah who was Jewish never speaking English at all in his day and was truly the son of the Living God. But we can take this question and relate it to people of this world today that have an obscure understanding of biblical truth let alone what happens after you die. Some people think nothing exists and you don't exist anymore. Some people think you go to a place called Purgatory which does not exist. People think all sorts of strange things but the devil deceives the entire world. Life is a test and God says man is without excuse according to the holy scriptures. Man will follow all the false ways because he loves darkness. So when they end up in a place called hell if they don't heed the warnings they choose it because what is written in the Holy scriptures are not just words but they are living words and they have profound implications. So be forewarned.
The truth is this man Pontius Pilate he was propelled and influenced to crucify he who was and is truly is the Messiah that was rejected and despised and he had done nothing/NO wrong as he was perfect unlike human beings. He didn't follow the sins of the world but he brought people to righteousness and he gave them great gifts such as raising the dead, giving back the sight to those who were blind, feeding the multitudes, healing diseases or sickness such as the lame/ crippled and cleansing the leopards and many other things. But he expected repentance and not just for them to accept gifts without knowing him. Matthew 11:20 He told the prostitute to go sin no more. The truth is God has a remnant that he always saved throughout the times. The truth is the devil who does exist and has been cast out down to the Earth along with his angels deceive the world and tempt men to evil. The devil plays god as he is an actor in a play. The devil deceives people and comes as an angel of light. The world marvels after the devil and the devil gives them support in vanity, idolatry and many things that are abomination to God and they accept this freely because they have been deceived and they be reprobate people if not atheist. The Bible gives the seven woes not in vain and there are consequences even in this life if you serve the beast. Matthew 23 But the true God warns such people will not inherit the Kingdom just the same as he warns that the sodomites will not inherit the Kingdom.
Now just a disclaimer because true Christians who will profess for such people because they know they need salvation will say well we're not under the law anyways. The law was taken down for a particular reason but God wrote it on our hearts and he tells us men are without excuse. When they knew God they did not glorify him as God but became vain in their imaginations . First thing is Christ said the branch that does not abide in him will be cast out and burnt in the fire. He also said that his sheep hear his voice and listen. He also said if those who do not use the door of the sheep fold they are nothing but a thief and a robber. He also said at the end of the world the angels will gather the tars and cast them into the lake of fire being outer darkness. He told us this fire is never quenched and the worm there never dies.
The truth is salvation is of the Lord and not of men. Before the foundations of the world were laid God being the true God of creation who is the same God that Moses knelt before on Mount Sinai and he's the God of the Hebrews knew what had to be done even before he created the Earth. Christ said before Abraham he existed.
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am .
He also said he is not of this world. In the Old Testament people were saved and some people say even in Noah's day they kept the Sabbath. You can research that if you like. When Christ died on the cross and he had risen look what the Bible says
“ And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose ,” They appeared to many and it wasn't when he's coming back to Earth it happened then. Remember he's the life and the resurrection. He said let the dead bury their dead and you go preach the kingdom. People complained like you would have people at funeral homes today or wakes complaining. Putting your faith in him is something not only you do in the spirit but you do in the physical too. A preacher could stay at home and pray in the spirit for his congregation but seeing them in person is different. ( don't forsake the assembly ) He said I send you out amongst wolves he did not say I send you inside with the wolves.
The truth is God extended salvation to the Gentiles to bring the Jews to jealousy. The truth is Judgment starts at the house of God and it started with his own people. He gave them many true prophets and even amongst the false ones the true ones some of them were crucified by the Sanhedrin Pharisees and Sadducees and other groups that would have done such a thing. The truth is it's easy to become a Pharisee. The truth is in the end God's will be done and not the will of the devil nor his fallen Angels whom are truly reserved in Chains of darkness for hell.
The absolute truth is once you die in your sins salvation is next to impossible and prayer will with great probability not work. To think you'll scream out for Jesus then is really treading on quicksand because just like deathbed confessions it's shady ground. God is the ultimate judge but don't be caught with your pants down.
The truth is you can't love God with all your heart mind and soul if you don't know him. If you're a reprobate like a broken record that refuses correction and you die in your sins most likely you're going to end up in the Lake of fire. The truth is there's no probation there. Prayers do not work there and it's eternal. You don't get out after 5 to 10 years you stay there forever in anguish regurgitating like the dog who has returned to his own vomit the sins you committed on Earth in a heat of fire that is never quenched. You see the Bible says this is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians 6:2 We will give thanks and supplications and rejoice and be glad in it regardless.
The truth is on the day of judgment and there will be a great white throne judgment as written in the Holy scriptures is a multitude which could mount in the millions maybe even billions will be divided into two groups and one group will be cast away. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Didn't God love these people? Did they love God and were they truly saved and did they know God or did they serve the devil and his fallen angels. Were they non-believers? Did they die in their sins? Did they heed the warnings or did God give them over to a reprobate mind?
The truth is you will know them by their fruits and the beast and his servants are just that. The Saints God creates them not men. You see Nicodemus asked how can a man be born again and Christ explained this to him said to him that he should know these things being a master of Israel. Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Nicodemus asked how can these things be and here's Christ response:
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
The truth is the true God said he set life and death before you choose life but people choose death and have vain faith. People put their faith in things and in idols and things to be of the flesh.
Finally the truth is that the true Christ is risen and he is the word of God. The holy scriptures cannot be broken and the prophecies are true. Israel became a nation again just as had been prophesied. God is not the author of confusion but the devil is. The truth is you reap what you sow and Christ is the stone that the builders refused. Psalm 118:22-24
The truth is the Messiah was born of a virgin in Bethlehem and astonished the religious leaders even as a child and was out to do his father's business even as a child. The truth is he was crucified along with criminals being thieves and he didn't deserve that but he died for the sins of the world. John 3:16
The truth is many are called and few are chosen. The truth is the depths of the devil is greater than men's understanding and even the elect can be deceived. The truth is the devil is the god of this world and God is not a liar.
We need preachers and evangelists to evangelize the word of God and tell people about the good news. Paul's gospel that without works and is good news but bad news is when the devil deceives people and takes them off course. The truth is if you stand for people who commit abominable sins and think you're loving them you're not loving them because they're headed for the fire that will never be extinguished. God gave many warnings and strong woes. He tells us people practice things that are the doctrines and Commandments of men not belonging to him and they have pleasure in it. In other words things that he did not decree as he is not the author of confusion but the devil is. Again the truth is you live once and then the judgment. If you get saved though your sins are great they will be as white as snow. So I encourage you to truly take an interest in reading the Bible and I recommend the King James Bible. I recommend you pray and you get saved. I recommend you call out to God to save a wretch like you.
