“Now the works of the flesh are
manifest, which are these; Adultery,
fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance,
emulations, wrath, strife, seditions,
heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness,
revellings, and such like: of the which I
tell you before, as I have also told you in
time past, that THEY WHICH DO SUCH
THINGS SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.”
Gal. 5:19-21.

“And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth,
neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but
they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.” Rev. 21:27.

False prophets today declare that one can still do these things
and go to heaven. The fact is, they are going to die lost if they do
such things. Neither are they in the Lamb’s book of life now, nor
in God’s holy church, even though they may “go to church.”
The prevailing thought is that only “very bad sinners,” such
as murderers, will go to hell. Adultery and fornication (to name
but a few works of the flesh), are in the professed religious world.
The apostle Paul places those who do such under the same
judgment as the murderers. It is not just a matter of getting a
lesser reward in heaven. IT IS A MATTER OF GOING TO HELL FOR ETERNITY.

A “little” lie is a big enough sin to sink a soul in hell, for “ALL
liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and
brimstone.”
The blood of Christ does NOT cover these things when they
are unrepented of and not FORSAKEN. “Repent, and turn
yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be
your ruin . . . for why will ye die . . .?” Ezk. 18:30 and 31. “The
wages of SIN is death.” Rom. 6:23a. “The wicked shall be turned
into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Psa. 9:17.
Contrary to popular opinion, sinners do not go to heaven.
Sinners go to hell–even if they are religious sinners.
Heaven is for those who have been made holy through faith
in the blood of Jesus Christ.
YOUR SOUL IS PRECIOUS AND IT IS ETERNAL. It will
always have a conscience existence, either in heaven or in hell.
Dear ones, be warned. Do not die in your sin, but “flee from the
wrath to come.” “. . . Serve God acceptably with reverence and
godly fear, for our God is a consuming fire.” Heb. 12:28-29.
“And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was
cast into the lake of fire.” Rev. 20:15.


J.C. Ryle wrote, “...Others hold their peace about hell . . . I
dare not do so. I see it plainly in scripture and I must speak of it.
I fear that thousands are on the road that leads to it and I would
fain arouse them to a sense of the peril before them. Call it bad
taste if you like, to speak of hell. Call it charity to make things
pleasant and to speak smoothly and to smooth men with a
constant lullaby of peace. From such notions of taste and charity
may I ever be delivered. My notion of charity is to warn men
plainly of their danger. My notion of taste is to declare all the
counsel of God. If I never spoke of hell, I should think that I had
kept back something that was profitable, and should look on
myself as an accomplice of the devil.
Beware of new and strange doctrines about hell and eternal
punishment. Beware of manufacturing a God of your own, all
love, but not holy–a God who has a heaven for everybody but a
hell for none–a God who can allow good and bad to be side by side
in time, but will make no distinction between good and bad in
eternity. Such a god is an idol of your own . . . as true as an idol
was ever moulded out of brass or clay. The hands of your own
sentimentality have made him. He is not the God of the Bible.
Take heed lest you find it out too late!” & —S. Mutch

Interesting that the author of that article didn't include this verse-
Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

But one must also look at what Paul is addressing, there were Jews who were saying that circumcision in keeping with the Law was a must for a person to be a Christian. Paul then tells them that if they seek to be justified by the Law, then Christ is of no use to them, and they are fallen from grace.

When he begins to speak of the works of the flesh, no doubt he had these Jews in mind who boasted of their spirituality while indulging in the very sins he names. He has already told the Christians that there would be a war of dueling natures within.

So yes, those who practice those sins and are not convicted by then, no matter how outwardly spiritual they seem will not enter Heaven.

But those who struggle and war against sin show marks of the new life within. Prior to conversion there was no struggle with sin, only indulgence and enjoyment of it. But because there is a new nature, there is now a war.

I find it hilarious that men use one of the most vehement defenders of justification by faith alone to beat upon the brethren.

Tell me where there is hope in your message? and tell me also if you're are correct, why did Christ have to die? What did He have to accomplish if we are left to perform that which we could not?

Joseph Alliene said that if you have one sin that you have not forsaken you will go to hell. And that is what the bible teaches!

God has grace and mercy for every sin that we turn from. God forgives every sin that we choose to stop! The message of true repentance is desperately needed today!

Why don't you guys ever address the context of passages, or at least refute what I said earlier about the context in which Paul is writing this?

You accuse me of having an agenda when I post a plethora of Scripture in their context, yet are not open to such accusations by ignoring points that do not agree with what you are pushing? :-(

Brother, I am sorry if it seem as if I was trying to avoid the verse of scipture you mentioned erlier.

Here it is:

For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. Galatians 5:17

Brother, there is no contradiction betwen this and what I have been saying.

Brother to beter explain things I would like you to know that indeed there is a constant battle or War, as you called it.

What is the Batle?

That the flesh wants to be feed and that the spirit alson wants to be feed.

The question is wich one of them do you feed?

If you feed the flesh then you will sin. I know that.

But if you feed the spirit then you will not sin.

Brother, How does a person sin. By Omision and by Commision.

When you do not do somthing you should do then you sin.
When you do somthing that you should't do then you sin as well.

Brother, As long as we are in Earth we are capable of sining.

The reason why I say that I do not sin is because every day I fight against the flesh wich wants to be resurected. That fight recures of my will.

You see God has the power to keep you from sining if you do not want to sin.

The reason why people sin is because they lose focus on God and in keeping their relationship with God.

Brother, you sin because you want to. Don't tell me otherwise because you would be lieing.

The war is allways going to be there, but thank God that there is power in the Risen, Resurected Christ.

Brother, next time you are being tempted and the flesh wants to win over the spirit pray to God.

He has the power to give you the way out of every temptation.

Love you in Christ.

roaringlamb This is serious. I have been trying to get some sence into you, but it seems that you really want to keep on sining.

Isn't is enough that the Bible says in 1 Jhon 3:9
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

You have a sirious problem. Your soul depends upon it. That will make the diference between Heaven and Hell.

Think very carefully how you answer this question.

Do you sin?

If yes, then by Gods Word you are not his child. You are the Devils child.

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. 1 John 3:8.

I am praying that you would chose life rather than eternal death.
May God's spirit deal with you.

I love you , and so does God.
