Nowhere in the Word does it declare God sends you to Hell.

Hey folks.

Did you know that? God condemns NO ONE to Hell? Not kidding. Hell first comes into being for Lucifer and a third of the Angels that chose to follow him. Hell, was never intended for Mankind. "But what about the story of the Rich Man?" I'll get to that in a second.

So you have God. Creates the Heavens and the Earth. Creates all that is on the earth. Creates Mankind. Gives the Earth TO Mankind. Mankind chose to follow the works of Lucifer, and the Heart of man becomes evil continuously. God nearly wipes out all his creation save one Man found favor. Because of Noah, Mankind is spared. Then God so loved the World, Mankind, that he gave us his only begotten Son so that we may cry Abba Father. Translated? Daddy. Through the adoption of the Spirit. That's it? It really is that simple.

You ask. You receive. Accept what Jesus did for you. You are washed clean. You are saved. But the CHOICE is yours. You see. THAT is the key. You CHOOSE. We are all Sinners. We all are worthy of death. We can NEVER be good enough to go to Heaven on our own. God knows that. Jesus is the answer to this. His blood for your blood. His death for your death. His Resurrection for your eternal life. Nowhere in the Bible, including the Rich Man, does it say God simply condemns you. As a matter of fact, Romans 8:33 & 34

33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

God is not some hate filled old fart sitting on a throne waiting to throw you in Hell if you disobey him. He tells us this.

3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

If we are asked to forgive our Brother being evil, then how much more will God, being Holy, forgive US?

Then the Word, or Bible, also tells us about the White Throne Judgement. This tells us that those that are in Hell, the unbelievers, are then cast out and placed before God. Hell is temporary. He will then Judge those. I feel, MY OPINION, is that you will have one last chance at this time to accept Christ's Sacrifice. God told us the truth.

“… I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days …” (

Deuteronomy 30:19. The Rich man chose Money. He chose the best worldly things in life over God. The Poor man had nothing more than Faith. The Rich Man stored up his treasures here. The poor Man his treasures in Heaven. He got the reward. All a matter of choice.

So then we get someone like our Idiot of the Week. His name, Kazem Sedighi. He is an Iranian Cleric. An Islamofacist. He is also clueless as to the ways of God. According to the Breitbart - Iranian cleric defends earthquake-promiscuity link.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - A prominent hard-line Iranian cleric who said promiscuity and immodest dress cause earthquakes says God may be holding off on natural disasters in the West in order to let people sin more and consign themselves to hell.

Kazem Sedighi sparked widespread derision with his pronouncements in a prayer sermon last month linking earthquakes with women's dress. In a new sermon Friday, he has defended and elaborated on his claim.

Sedighi notes that some might ask why there aren't more earthquakes and storms striking Western nations that are "up to their necks" in immorality.

He says the answer is that God allows some of those who "provoke His wrath" to continue sinning "so that they (eventually) go to the bottom of Hell."

Sorry. But no. He is wrong. He is an Idiot. "But Pete, Pat Robertson, head of the 700 club said that the Haiti Quake was a result of them making a pact with the Devil." Yup. IWA For Sunday 011710

It doesn't matter to me, who says things like this. Whomever does, shows complete ignorance of the very nature of God. He is a God of Love. Not a God of hate, anger, and vengeance. He will reap vengeance on those that oppress and attack His children, but even those, have an opportunity to be adopted. See Saul of Tarsus, who became Paul, who wrote most of the New Testament. As Saul, he was equal to Hitler in every way. Christ said to both, follow me. Hitler said no, became dead. Saul said yes, became Paul. One answer, to one question, posed by one, Jesus.

Killing, raping, and enslaving God's chosen people, to one of the greatest Saints to ever live? What is it that YOU have done in your life, that you think God will not forgive you for? Or better yet, God is not going to kill, and destroy, whole areas because a chick has a tight tee shirt on. Or short shorts. Sorry.

Congratulations Kazem Sedighi, you ARE the Idiot of the Week. Would you like to meet the REAL God? I would be happy to introduce you to Him.
Peter
