Revelation
Chapter 21
Verse 8
But the fearful, and unbelieving,
and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers,
and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars,
shall have their part in the lake which burneth
with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Why do liars always believe
Jesus has died for their sins and is their
Lord and Savior. And there will be no lake of fire for them
when it is written...
and all liars,
shall have their part in the lake which burneth
with fire and brimstone
Really, just why do they? This is of the order of a most pressing question, to my mind. In the totality of scripture, you can't be a Christian and be a liar, or any other practicing sinner. Though there's a difference between falling into sin, but being repentant, and somebody who just sins as a way of life, I believe there are many deluded people who, in fact, are liars and many other things, who think they're Christian, but you know what? The Holy Spirit clearly isn't in the driver's seat or even the seatbelt, and this begs explanation, then. Consider that, and consider the concept heaven will be full of easy believers, getting their watered down gospel of grace, that rips the rest of the pages out of the Bible, and these words of the Lord Jesus:
Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
If people can be the scumbags many are, while claiming to be Christians, if all the mega churches, the Chrislamites, the on and on and on cults, ad nauseam; if all those who believe in a little Jesus and a lot of lies have a street named after them in paradise, why did the Lord say the way is straight and narrow, that few find? I have long believed all liars means all liars, that God isn't winking at hyprocrites.
1 Peter 1
14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
Those verses mean something, or they don't. Obviously, they don't mean anything to many, perhaps most. Maybe that's why it's few chosen, few actually born of the Spirit? Maybe this is why this is what you see, people with zero or near zero Holy Spirit fruits? I do fear it's a worse situation, the ice much thinner, than many dream, but neither are they without fault, as the Bible, when taken as a whole, speaks to all these things they ignore.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him
must worship him in spirit and in truth. Doesn't say "should worship Him," "kindly worship Him," "optionally worship him," "if you can work it in your schedule worship Him"...
must worship Him in spirit and in truth, which means right down to the heart, the spiritual core of the inner man, no lies, no fakery, no selective truth, no doctrines of men and demons, no bull. That's what I read.
Galatians 5
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
