You will often be given these following verses,
(1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unjust shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers nor effeminate nor homosexuals
1Co 6:10 nor thieves nor covetous nor drunkards nor revilers nor extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1Ti 1:8 But we know that the law is good, if a man uses it legitimately,
1Ti 1:9 knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly sinners, for the evil and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
1Ti 1:10 for fornicators, for homosexuals, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine, )
What is often omitted by many is that there is salvation from the punishment of these! We who believe and follow Yeshua and live in obedience to Him and His commandments also once started in at least one of those categories mentioned above as indeed the scriptures say if you read on, (1Co 6:11 And such were some of you, but now ye are washed, but now ye are sanctified, but now ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and in the Spirit of our God. )
Many who hear these words describing their sins instantly get a barrier of pride up in which they deceive themselves telling themselves they are not like that and they deceive themselves saying that they are basically good. It is pointless trying to relate to such a person the plan of salvation and their need for Yeshua's forgiveness as they will only ever gain a lukewarm perspective on salvation! First they need to be made aware of the fact that they are every bit of a miserable sinner as everyone else! Yeshua always confronted people's sin first and then came His good news of salvation, the deliverance from the penalty of sin which is death eternal! (Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the grace of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. )
So even though people refuse to believe the need for deliverance their belief is not required for the facts to take place! Just like the fellow in this picture here thought he could run from his sin and continue to live on in his sin judgement finally caught up with him. This fellow was judged along with those who died in Pompeii by the way a city steeped in homosexual sin which as the verses above show you are people who cannot enter into the Kingdom of God unless first having repented(rethought, turned away) from their sins and turned to Yeshua for His salvation as Yeshua is the Only Way to the Father and that means the Only Way into His Kingdom. And it is Only His Kingdom that will remain, satan's kingdom is in this world and he pretends to be every false god in this world to claim that throne which Adam and Eve were cheated out of by satan in the garden of Eden. Satan's main guises are allah in islam, buddha in buddhism, krishna and all other false hindu gods in hinduism and the false christ in all denominations of the churches and the false god in Judaism all of whose origins lie in the idolatries of ancient Babylon. Allah is the moongod of Babylon, Ishtar is the catholic Mary, the rabbis of Judaism worship the sungod of Babylon as do the catholics. The rabbis being the descendants of the Pharisees who condemned Yeshua to die on the cross even founded a town right next to Jerusalem to express their worship of their false god calling it Beit Shemesh(house of the sun) where the ultra orthodox rule the streets and stone normal people coming through its streets. They are as Yeshua called them the sons of their father the devil. (John 8:44). Whichever false god you can think of that has ever been in this world has been satan as he has always wanted to be in the True God's place! There is however only One Truth and One God and One Word and His Name is Yeshua! Yes, even many people say but there's is Yehovah, He is the only God?! Yes He is and His full Name is abbreviated YHVH being the abbreviation which stands for Yeshua Hanotzri Vamelech Hayehudim and this was written over His head by Pilate as He was nailed on the cross.(Joh 19:19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. ) However the part translated wrongly as being Nazareth in Hebrew is said Notzri which is what His title was written in the old testament and means the Branch and His true followers are His notzrim, His branches. Christians are not those who are called in God's Word His Holy ones although they have the ability to become so. Those who are call themselves christians are what Yeshua calls His witnesses although we all are witnesses of Yeshua the separation exists in the scriptures where the path of the Holy ones and Yeshua's witnesses is parted by their level of faith and obedience unto Yeshua and His commandments. The difference being those who have heard His Spirit with ears to hear and those who have not. The parable of the ten virgins described to us what happens to both these groups also further detailed in the book of Revelations. Those differences are only obvious to the Holy ones, the wise virgins recorded in the scriptures, those already made white and purified because they had ears with which to hear the Spirit and prepared and are watching for their Lord Who is coming soon. The virgins who are as babies are not prepared as they still live for the lusts of this world and have not fully committed to the path laid out before them by Yeshua and by His Spirit and they will have to prove their witness of Yeshua with their lives. The Holy ones gave their lives over to Him wholeheartedly already and look for His coming and He keeps them safe in the wilderness through the time of Jacob's trouble and He will rapture them on the Day of the Lord when He returns to reign on earth for the Shabbat HaGadol, the last thousand years.
So judgement day approaches for all but for those who are unrepentant sinners judgement day is a day to dread indeed if you do not turn away from your sins before then. Once again your belief in something is not required for reality to happen, it will happen regardless. Your beliefs cannot alter the Truth into a lie as Truth is absolute and the lie cannot become truth just because you choose to believe it. There is right and there is wrong both are absolute! There is also no grey areas with God, there is no slightly right or slightly wrong. There is no half truths or white lies! A lie is a lie and the truth is the whole truth! Satan has deceived mankind into believing the grey areas and to live by them so mankind does not feel the need to repent and do that which is right. God however is a Righteous God and His Truth is absolute, His Way is hot or cold, right or wrong, let your yes be yes and your no be no. If you are lukewarm He will spew you out meaning if you dwell in those grey areas you believe to be OK you will be in more trouble than you know. Many christians fall into these grey areas because they compromise the Word of God and His commandments on a daily basis forgetting or being ignorant of His Word and commandments or simply breaching them because their lusts have precedence in their hearts. They are often ignorant of the fact God reads their hearts and it is usually because they have not believed Him. If they did believe Him and His Word they would act on it and do the will of God in their daily lives. It comes to the point they do not even seek Him nor His will because their first love is their lusts for either false gods(namely themselves) or mammon(money). It is for this reason God would rather you are cold towards Him as then He has something to work with on you. Being lukewarm like so many christians however He cannot convince them of their sin as they believe themselves to be righteous because they deceive themselves saying they believe in Jesus and are saved. The demons believe too and yet they tremble! They tremble because they know judgement day approaches fast. So if you've read this and you are angry with me writing these words than be warned you belong to that group who tread the fine line of eternity which will see you in hell along with the unbelievers. So to those reading and feeling they may belong to those groups mentioned here I caution you, the time is short, get right before God and repent and be baptised of water and of the Holy Spirit and ensure your eternal destiny and then seek God and do His commandments, don't pretend like the pretenders for they have their reward already! The best in this world is the best they will ever have as next comes the judgement for them, For those who have repented and turned to Yeshua and followed Him in His Way and Word and have done His commandments the best in this world pales in comparison to what is coming for them and there will be no more worst whereas for the others there will only be worse. Your belief in Yeshua and His commandments is proven in deed not in lip service and it is by your fruit(deeds) you will be judged not your lip service. Prove your faith in what you do and ensure your place with God. You will not be saved by your deeds as in the doing of righteous acts as you cannot earn your way like in all religions but all you have to do is accept salvation(it is a free gift) on God's terms through Yeshua and the blood He spilt for you and all to make atonement for your sins so that you may live a life of righteousness in obedience to His commandments and will.
