Matthew 25:29-33 "For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he
shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away
even that which he hath."

[gee...take from the poor and give to the rich...what an anti-
socialistic thing for Jesus to say...]

"And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall
be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

[So, hell will be darkness, where it will be so bad people will be
weeping (sorrow) and gnashing their teeth (pain). Doesn't it sound
like the party rockers say it will be?]

"When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels
with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before
him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from
another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall
set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left."

[Interesting...the RIGHT was good and LEFT was bad. Curious.]

Matthew 25:41 "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand,
Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the
devil and his angels:"

[EVERLASTING...lasts forever. So much for purgatory...huh? If man
gets out of the EVERLASTING fire, I guess EVERLASTING life would end
too...right?]

Mark 9:44 "Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."

[This quote by Jesus is repeated 3 times in one section. I guess He
was trying to make a point...the worm and the fire DO NOT END. What
else does Scripture say about this punishment...]

Revelation 14:10-11 "The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of
God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his
indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the
presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the
smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have
no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and
whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."

[So, it is day AND night "for ever and ever"...again, so much for
purgatory. It also says they will have NO rest. This all sounds
unfair...right? That is what many of you are thinking. You will
likely say you don't deserve hell. In fact, Jesus says that is what
you WILL be saying....]

Matthew 7:22-23 "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we
not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and
in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto
them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

Did you get that? I doubt it. Jesus said to them, "I NEVER knew
you." Those going to hell had NEVER accepted Christ, since Jesus said
He comes in and dwells in ALL that receive Him. It's that simple.
EVERYONE deserves hell. ONLY those that accept Jesus get a ticket to
Heaven. Do you?
