'Many will wish they had never been born' 

     Last we knew, university fraternities hold a "hell week" to initiate new members. We know of at least one freshman who died during his week. 

     Well, real hell is far worse. We encourage you to read our blogs this week, as we summarize a chapter in The Coming Golden Age. If you aren't 100 percent certain of your salvation, please, please take this seriously, and stick with it. It's our most important blog series, now in our 15th year. 

     Think that Jesus the Son of God who endured crucifixion is soft on belief and obedience? We begin with a few of his statements during his visit to Israel two millennia ago.

     Anyone who is angry with his brother is subject to judgment. - Matt. 5:22. Better to lose a part of your body than your whole body thrown into hell. - Matt. - 5:29   ...be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. - Matt. 10:28. 

     How will you escape being condemned to hell? - Matt. 23:33. Better to enter life maimed than with two hands and to go into hell. - Mark 9:43. Fear him who...has power to throw you into hell. - Luke 12:5. 

    James, half-brother of Jesus, who won him over after rising from the dead: The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil. It corrupts the whole person, and sets the whole course of his life on fire and is itself set on fire by hell. - James 3:6.

     And Peter, the extrovert disciple Jesus straightened out before he arose: For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment...    -2 Peter 2:4.
