Fear of YHWH is the Beginning of Wisdom

‘’”FRIENDS DON’T LET FRIENDS DRINK AND DRIVE””!! Heard that before? Believe it? Good!! Because there is not a politically correct bone in my body or word on my tongue! Some say to me, how can you say some of the things you say? The bible says we are to love one another! That’s right. WE are to love each other. And real love doesn’t hide the truth from someone because they are afraid of offending them or hurting their feelings just like a real friend doesn’t let a friend drive drunk know matter how angry the drunk gets at you! It’s called tough people. We are to love one another. And allowing friends to believe a lie that is going to kill them, is the worst kind of lie! The scriptures tell us when we see danger and do not warn of the danger coming, their blood is on our hands. But if we warn them and they do not heed the warning, their blood is on their own hands.

So, in saying that, when I was a Christian, and heard all my life that Jesus loves me, no one ever told me the rest of the story! So for all of my Christian friends that say and think Once Saved Always Saved because they believe in Jesus because He died for your sins and your saved by grace and there is no need to fear Him because He loves us so much blah, blah, blah! CONSIDER THIS! Why does it say in the scriptures 109 times to “Fear Him”? If you think He is a syrupy sweet God who is coming back with big hugs and kisses to take us away in a rapture so we don’t have to face and experience all the awful things happening in the world, think again! Tell that to the Christians that are being tortured and killed all over the earth every day. Wake up people. WE are all going to go through the fire to see who truly belongs to Him. Wake Up People before it is to late……. He is COMING WITH A SWORD people! And everyone who is disobedient is going to die. Hundreds of millions of men, women and children know matter what their age. God allowed it to happen to His people in bible days and the same bible says they will happen again in these last days, but only 7 times worse……
