Mark 13:13 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”
A bold post on Facebook about Christ, Heaven and Hell is putting one of the Duggar daughters in the cross hairs of some Christian critics.
Jessa Duggar, known for the TV show “19 Kids & Counting”, posted on her Facebook site that someone couldn’t truly believe in God if they do not believe in hell.
“I will speak to you a hard truth,” she posted on her Facebook account. “I do not write this because I think that it will bring me popularity. It won’t. But it is Truth from the Word of God: the Bible. To not tell people this is to hide the truth from them. To keep silent is to not care for their eternal destiny! I care about you, and this is why I am speaking out!”
Duggar was immediately assaulted in the comments by those who say an all-loving God would never send someone to hell and that hell is not real.
“The person speaking this is right—their god is not angry with them. He can’t be, because he doesn’t exist. They are not talking about the God of the Bible. They have created a god in their own mind to suit themselves,” Duggar explained. “They have removed any notion of the Justice of God, and have created a god of their imagination that they can be comfortable with. The Bible teaches that God is a Just Judge, and He must punish sin. Every one of us have broken God’s law, and hell is our deserved punishment. (Unless you’re reading some very distorted ‘translation’ of the Bible, you cannot get around the fact that there is a hell).”
She concluded her posting with a call to salvation and an urging for people to accept Jesus as Lord.
Keep speaking truth that is the word of God our Father Creator of all seen and unseen the Father of our Saviour Christ Jesus Messiah.
I never knew and would not have known that I wasn’t truly saved/ born again / or a true christian “if ” I had not read that Bible for myself !
Although my “At that particular time” insane motive is what drove me to find out what exactly did it actually say, totally backfired on me And I’m So Glad it did!
I found out for myself ( with the LORDs help through His scriptures ) that I “like most folks going to church think they are christians & saved” But are Really only ” Blinded Worldly Christians ” there was not much difference between me & my actions from that of the worldly people.
I read the fruit of the ungodly which is the actions & ways of the devil, satan the worldly, wicked & evil;
(Which I knew & did daily) even though I had been baptized a few times, went to church throughout my life time, prayed,…
And then I read I read the fruit of Christ, His ways & actions. And I could not comprehend nor was I Christ like ( slow to speak, loving, …) Well just to some folks I knew But then I read where even the ungodly like those that like them.
But that night Aug.24, 2003 after 3days straight reading & searching the Bible I gave my life to Christ & was saved at home abt midnight, I was in my 40’s.
I know how important it is to read for ourselves the word of God is!
The many warnings He gives us to be aware, discerning & wise abt the ungodly, even those ungodly who He has not called to be pastor’s that are leading many astray as His word detail’s. ( How will they know if the person at the pulpit is truly been called by God, or if they are of the their father the devil Unless they read & know His word the Holy Bible ) ? !
God taught me there are two christians .
The true christian I strive daily to be,
and, the blinded worldly Christians that don’t know their not really saved/born again, like I used to be.
Some folks think because their related or know the ‘pastor’ that they really are one, and like myself who was a product of my environment seeing, doing & believing what others did made it so & relying on others people’s perception & discernment was a lot easier to do than take the time to read for myself. But my Father God & Saviour Jesus Christ says ( you will know them by by their fruit )!
Fake can not hide fact ! Eventually what is reality, fact & truth is exposed!
Even though I’m not where I should be, want to be yet in regards to daily reading. I’ve just learned today to ask God & Christ to change my ( want to’s ) because I can’t but He can, so I’m happily looking forward to this new work God is doing in me!
And now that I’ve written this un-ment to long mini series, I really want you to know reading what you did not only brings me joy, its very encouraging to me when ever a fellow brother or sister in Jesus Christ speaks up & tells the truth. Thank you Jessica. And thank you Pastor Jim Baker I love & pray for often for you, the family & ministry you’ve been a main portion of Godly strength to me & i’ll never forget it!
God bless yous abundantly beyond how yous bless me & so many others!
Peace of Christ Jesus be with you amen.???????
You are very right Jessa!! Good job for telling the truth!! We need more people like you to say what needs to be said. May God bless you. We stand with you. And your family show is wonderful. Keep up the good work.
Jessa you are so right. You are in our prayers. Much love to you and your family for standing for the truth.
Jessa , take a stand for what is right i so agree with you God bless
Jessa, I agree with you. And, God doesn’t send people to hell………they make the choice to go there themselves. It’s called Free Will.
Jessa, Thank God for you! People need to read their Bible and study it closely then they would know our loving God would not send anyone to hell. who study the word and follow it. Again, Thank you God for Jessa and the work she is doing.
Jessa, dear girl you are so right, do not pay attention to those who hate you, you are precious in God’s sight Bless you !!!!
