2 Samuel 7:14
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons;
for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
Hebrews 12:7
Anyone who dies from the discipline clearly did not receive it with the loving intentions with which it was administered. That is to say, they choose to go to Hell for all eternity. What a shame. And what a wonderful program Landover Baptist Church has to help encourage people to stay on the Straight and Narrow! Bless you Pastor Bathfire! |
Gosh, just think about it for a minute. Do not part with a measly $100 and you will go straight to Hell, no 'ifs', 'ands' or 'butts'.
I'll put a call in to Miss Cookie at the Church office and set up an autopay, I do not want to risk missing a single payment. My soul is much to important to squander on a silly oversight.
