THE UNRIGHTEOUS shall not inherit the kingdom of God! BE NOT DECEIVED: neither (PORN)icators, nor idolaters…NOR DRUNKARDS…SHALL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD! –1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (KJV)–
(Blessed is he who has got His transgressions forgiven And his sins hidden)
Blessed is the man whom the Lord Will not ascribe his misdeeds And is without deceit in his spirit
Buried it deep inside But soon a sprout came forth It kept on growing I couldn’t hide
When I kept it to myself Slowly my bones corroded And my vitality vanished Left in the summer to dry
Too many people living this life Who alone can take their guilt away? Their minds are rotting And causing endless pain Soon they are demented and put away
I confessed my sins to You And did not hide my guilt I said, “I want to confess my Misdeeds to You” And he took my sins and guilt
I remember the first war The way the sky burned The faces of angels destroyed I saw a third of Heaven’s legion banished And the creation of Hell I stood with my brothers and watched Lucifer fall But now, my brothers aren’t my brothers
Turned away by a Misrepresentation
Stained glass and white washed tombs The hearts of those who spoke to you Were never homes The God tried, they shun Him
They spoke out of Prejudice and ritualism
They themselves were lost Angels fold their wings
Angels fold their wings and weep Along with us, watching you Shun Christ’s sacrifice Shunning sacrifice
Angels fold their wings And weep along with us Watching you
Shun Shun

The denominations that are the most likely to have preachers of eternal punishment in Hell with conviction and urgency, are the independent Baptists (IFB)–Dr. John R. Rice and Sword of the Lord, the Bible Presbyterian Church (BPC)–Dr. Carl McIntire, the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster–Dr. Ian Paisley, the FIRE Churches (independent Reformed), the Orthodox Presbyterian Church (OPC)–J. Gresham Machen and his book Christianity and Liberalism, and the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA)–P&R Publishing and a confusing mix of preachers such as R. C. Sproul who rejected a literal Hell, Timothy Keller who downplayed preaching against sin, and Drs. Robert Peterson and John Gerstner who absolutely affirmed the Hell of the Bible.
