About heaven and hell, the only quote i believe in is,
“I’d rather rule in Hell then serve in Heaven” So burn on y’all.

The Gospel message should be given with love. It is quite clear that Westboro Baptist Church does not have “sound doctrine” on which to base its preaching of hate. I am a born again Christian and believe me I am well taught by one of the worlds foremost theologians Doctor Arnold G Fruchtenbaum see (Ariel.org). Dr Arnold is a teacher of the Word par excellence. You can download his manuscripts from there. God says: “For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23). The wages of sin for all of us is eternal death. (Romans 6:23) and that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us…” The Good news is simple but people do not want to believe the simple truth and that is contained in (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). This is what we must believe if we are to be saved and repent of our unbelief. There is nothing man can do (not even trying to be good - not anything at all) which will save him for the Kingdom of Heaven. We must turn from our unbelief and simply repent of our unbelief and believe in the five fundamentals of the Christian faith as spelled out in (1Corinthians 15:1-4). This is the gospel by which man must be saved. We must ask God to forgive us for our sin of ignoring Him in the name of Jesus Christ and come to live in our hearts by His Holy Spirit forever. Then we must choose to make Him Lord over our lives. That is the Good News of the Gospel. Once saved a sinner (though now a saint in the eyes of God for we are now “cloaked in His Son (Jesus’) cloak of righteousness) cannot ever fall away or be lost to God for His power keeps us safe. To believe otherwise is to say that the death of Christ on that terrible cross was insufficient to cover our sins. In effect you are saying that His resurrection power is no power at all. His power is insufficient to keep us safe in Christ’s body which is the invisible Church into which we have now been secured by the sealing of His Holy Spirit. We have only to believe and repent of our unbelief recognising we need our sins to be covered by the blood of Christ Jesus. All Christians will sin again and again after they are saved. However Jesus Christ is now our advocate and intercedes for us before Our Heavenly Father. He prays for us, makes intercession for us. The fact is that none of the sins we commit after we have accepted Jesus as our Saviour will cause us to lose our eternal life. God may well take us early if we continue to sin such as fornication or adultery without repenting for those sins, and that means to “turn away” from those sins. God’s resurrection power, through prayer and continuous intercession with Our Heavenly Father, provides us with His strength to live as God would have us live: But those sins will not keep us out of the invisible body of Christ Jesus into which we have been placed by the Holy Spirit. We are saved by the gift of faith through grace plus nothing. Therefore, Heath Ledger is a sinful man, just as we all are, homosexuality, playing the part of one in a movie, fornicating, even murder, God can deal with. Did Heath make Jesus His Saviour – that is the question and only our loving and merciful God knows that is His business? We give the message He does the saving. By all evidences it would seem that Heath was not saved and therefore went straight to Hell. He was certainly a very poor example of what it means to live the Christian life. We are taught to ask “where are Heath’s fruits?” It would be by far the better to be merciful and kind and say “perhaps God did arrange to send someone to Heath before he died to carry God’s message of love to him and perhaps Heath did ask Jesus to come and live within him. Perhaps - just perhaps Heath did make a decision for Jesus Christ. I hope so! For what Heath couldn’t do, God did, by sending His Son Jesus Christ to die on a cross for all of mankind. He came as God made man so that we could identify with Him and became the Bridge between God and us. (Ephesians 2:8-9) says it clearly “For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. It is not the result of your own effort, (by Heath’s own efforts) but God’s gift so that no one can boast about it. ALL GOD’S WORK. Now then, if Heath Ledger did not come into a relationship with Jesus Christ as His Saviour what has now happened to him? The horrible truth is that Heath is now in – HELL but then so are many that actually think they are Christians because they go to a Baptist church when in fact they are nominal Christians but God says in His Word “they are far from me and without my love power indwelling them”. Only Christians are indwelt by the Holy Spirit which secures them for His Kingdom. See Ephesians 1. This is the bad news. Youv’e had the Good News and now the BAD NEWS:- “The wages of sin is death” ( Romans 6:23). God created us so that we can be brought back, redeemed, to return to live with Him for ever but because we inherit sin we are separated from God. We then accidentally or deliberately commit sins, and these form a barrier between us and God. We fall short of His standards for us which we can find in the Bible, we are sinners by nature, by practice and by choice and for all those who choose to remain in Satan’s Kingdom (The World is under his rule) and do not repent and turn to Jesus Christ to save them then a person remains outside of the Kingdom of Heaven . Morality, going to church, good deeds and belonging to some denomination or another will not save anyone. The Jesus I know would be angry at the rubbish they propound of His precious sacred Word. People need to know that all our sins are covered by the shed blood of Jesus if we come to Him with humble and penitent hearts. That is the love power of the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His cross stands as a meeting place for all of sinful mankind, the philosopher, the lawyer, the garbage man, the doctor and whoever else who is separated from God. God did the very best He could for mankind and surely man did the very worst it could to Him. The Jewish laws all 613 of them, which include the Ten Commandments, have been done away with. The veil was rent at the time Jesus hung on that cross. The Laws were torn up, rendered null and void and from the Cross to now we have been living under a New Covenant. We live under Christ’s law which is spelled out in the New Testament - His law of love - a new agreement has been drawn up, and that agreement just like any legal agreement contains some of the old laws but given now with Christ’s directive and administered by the Apostles. From the time of the Cross we have lived in the Age of Grace a time of the Church - the Invisible Church to which all true Believers must belong if they would go to Heaven. TAKE NOTICE all those who believe that Baptists, Roman Catholicism, Church of England, Lutheran, Plymouth Brethren - whatever - will save you - it will not. If you continue on down this track it would be better at last if you had never been born. The Book of Hebrews which was directed to Jewish Believers also spells out the eternal consequences for those pride filled Jewish Believers who preferred to live under their Jewish laws and God says that they were “accursed brethren”. Those hate-filled condemners who do not understand the love power of the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven should do well to note that fact. They are preaching a religion of hate and a religion based on Old Testament laws which were meant for the Jewish people. Jews today need to come to know their Messiah and most assuredly this terrible demonstration would be unable to lead them to the light and life of Jesus Christ.
As for me - I am in His Grip and in the love bonds of Jesus. May these people be led to the Shepherd of their souls and come to a knowledge of the truth.
