HELL IS A REAL DESTINATION

Everyone will not 'go to Heaven'; that is a LIE told by wolves in sheep's clothing.

I have heard several {pastors} telling their congregants to avoid the mention of Hell while witnessing to sinners – chastising those of us who use the term ‘turn or burn’, and telling us that “people today do not want to hear that”: this really annoys me and makes me see red 😡

Sinners today may not ‘want to hear that’ … but that is because THAT is exactly WHAT they NEED to hear!

Yeshua (Jesus), Himself, often spoke of the realities of Hell WHILE HE MINISTERED TO SINNERS. In fact, Yeshua talked about Hell more than anyone else in the entire Scriptures. Yeshua spoke of Hell as a place of complete hopelessness, endless despair, and absolute loneliness. In Matthew 22:13, Yeshua describes Hells as “a place of darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth”; and in Mark 9:43 as a place "where the fire never goes out". 

Did He speak so vividly about Hell to scare people, or to ‘upset them’? No doubt … the realities of Hell SHOULD frighten the hell out of people.

But scaring the hell out of people was not the main reason Yeshua talked about the realities of Hell – He talked about Hell because He wanted people to know that Elohim (Father God) has provided a way of escape … and that escape can only be found in salvation through Yeshua, His holy Son.

So while the Gospel IS “good news” and “a message of love and peace”, to Believers, it IS ALSO a warning to unbelievers who are perishing, as well as to those who claim to be Christians but who are NOT following the TEACHING OF Yeshua Ha’Mashiach (Jesus Christ). The teachings of Yeshua spoke plainly of the realities of Hell – how can a Christian dare to do less? And why would a pastor refuse to do so, and encourage his congregants to shun that responsibility also? The answer is simple: they do not believe the Word of God, nor do they KNOW Him in whom they claim to love, honor, and obey.

Bottom line: don’t gamble your soul or the souls of those you witness to by shirking your responsibility to mention Hell to them as well as telling them of the joys of Heaven. If you refuse to tell them about the horrors of Hell, you may well end up there with them, separated from Elohim and Yeshua for all of eternity. And an answer for their fate will be required of you.

If you, yourself, are not aware of the teachings on Hell, acquaint yourself with the Scriptures and Yeshua’s ministry: HIS ENTIRE MINISTRY was about SAVING people FROM HELL.

And He did not avoid mentioning Hell’s realities in conjunction with the joys of Heaven.

Hell is a real place

NECESSARY EXPENSES~Self-Care 2026; Castle Rock-WA

While in Rainier yesterday morning, we got the bank appointment squared away - then crossed over the river into Longview to get Betsy's oil and filter switched out, made a short stop at Willow Grove (our 1st '"getting to know you" coffee date, was here) … where we noticed that there is now a newly installed fenced-in dog park, at least 2 acres long & wide: it's huge; then, we took the long way home over Coal Creek Road & Delameter Road, to where we currently have Independence parked, in Castle Rock.

A new Willow Grove welcome sign, was recently  installed on June 3rd.
The River was quiet, so we didn't stay long.
It looks like Loowit (Mt. St. Helens) is huffing & puffing again, but updates say 'normal activity w-minor earthquakes'.

Today, this morning, I enjoyed my morning joy juice - thankful to see this lovely, sunny, Wednesday morning … and trusting big that Yeshua would touch my lungs today in a healing way, so my asthma wouldn't be troublesome in the dentist chair: I had an 11 AM dentist appointment concerning the back crown that broke off at the gumline, Sunday evening.

Sending out an S.O.S. to my praying friends.

I know Elohim has already goes ahead of me - before my Day starts.

I know Yeshua has healing for me.

I am grateful to be alive & I have every confidence that I walk in blessedness.

At Twin City Dental, in Kelso, Dr. Anderson (who has been examining my teeth since at least 2001) examined it & removed it -  it came out hard, but oral surgery was not needed to extract it: cost was $400. A replacement for the extracted tooth was discussed and I opted for a partial implement rather than the implant option. The partial will be for 2 teeth replacements, which will also cover the tooth I had pulled in 2019 before my social Security Benefits were approved (basic Social Security - no frills). I'm happy about that decision - I am not happy with the cost, which will take a significant amount of time to save towards: $1,900.

It will take time, because Holland needs his knee taken care of … 

… and that needs to get done first, I am standing firm on that: he needs to be able to enjoy some quality of life with a reduction of his pain level. If this option will not work for him, I don't know what else can be done for him. He was young and foolish, like most young men running on testosterone are prone to be; and between the youthful foolishness, the young adult ego, and the adult to mid-life years of heavy construction work - his poor body took a beating before his brain kicked in and said, "maybe you should rethink that - like, don't". His aging body is now feeling and dealing with the result of those body-beating years. I am praying he can get some relief.

Right now, he's catching up on the sleep he missed last night when my asthma flared up and sent me into a coughing fit that worried him (he never sleeps after an episode). So, when we got back home from the dentist, I said, "My face really hurts & I know I'm going to be a handful to deal with today … why don't you go upstairs and get some sleep. I know you didn't sleep at all last night after that asthma attack." He said, "I think I'll do that. You're right, I didn't sleep - I kept my ears on all night long. I love you & I was worried about you. I waited a long time for you: I don't want you to die on me. I'll make supper too, when I get up - I'm giving you the Day off." Isn't he a sweet guy? I said, "I have no plans to die any time soon. Go get some sleep; I love you, too." 

Back home & thankful.

Self-care is a necessity & we are working on it.

YOU CANNOT BE BOTH

Patriotism is freedom.

Communism is base slavery.

"You can be a communist or you can be a patriot. You cannot be both."
