Of counterfeit Bile
That misses by a mile
From God's Holy Word
Deluding fools toward
A steep deady Fall
"yea hath God said" it all?
"¿you need Every Word?"
Hissing mocks"🐍absurd"!
A guide to instruct

A path avoiding a clout
If another sees an attack

Duck down yer head !
When u hear flying lead-
To suggest urge &warn

"The resurrection of Gavin Stone"
A recent evangelical movie focused on John 8 &the woman taken in adultery
But majority of "Evanjellyfish" sitting in the movie's pews would be holding a book that
1- doubts the authority authenticity&historicity of the passage
2 -&may have the ENTIRE passage cut out of the text
( Revised Standard&New English version both start chapter 8 with verse 12!)
{RSV puts it in tiny font on bottom of page & theNew English prints the passage in an entirely separate page as appendix}
The undercutting of Bible Authority is seen in 2017 film when you say, "yeah, nice mythical story, but their own bible doubts it ...

The Catholic Church does not worship anyone but the biblical and historical Jesus as God.

First I was small,
and round like a pearl;
Then long and slender,
as brave as an earl;
Since, like an hermit,
I lived in a cell,
And now, like a rogue,
in the wide world I dwell.

That Baptist Pastor is going against the teaching of the Baptist Church and he should be removed from being a Baptist Pastor.

Oh for the love of. Graham did not preach universalism and did not reject the sovereignty of God or the atoning work of Jesus. Graham preached the biblical doctrine of salvation(which is the Baptist doctrine of salvation) and was saved because he ha received Jesus as his Lord and Savior. I did not know that Hawking lend his voice to reading Scripture. Hawking stated he was an atheist.

This is not true that God's love is unconditional. It was. This is why Jesus had to meet all that the Law required. He
meet conditions we sinful, fallen creatures could not.
I believe we have done great disservice with the wrong application "unconditional love."

What is man compared to Jesus wrote:
Even worse, Stephen has just learned/realized that the Saviour he spent his entire life hating, despising, and foolishly arguing that He didn't exist actually loved Stephen with an unmerited, unconditional, and sacrificial love that He allowed to sun to shine upon Stephen and the rain to fall upon him (and gave him breath and life). And for all the intelligence that the LORD gifted Stephen so that he would honor and show some gratitude to the LORD, he pridefully refused to humble himself and acknowledge that fact...let alone how offensive Stephen's rejection of God's atoning work for his soul by God pouring out his righteous wrath on his son, Jesus Christ, as a substitute rather then on punishing Stephen since God, who is the judge of all the earth, always judges rightly. That my dear brothers and sisters in Christ is why I hate it when I sin and why I love and enjoy the LORD more and more because he shed his blood atoning for my soul (and all of yours). Now it is my honor and pleasure to serve the immortal, invisible, and possessor of all authority, the King of Glory, Jesus Christ. All hail the power of Jesus Christ for his kingdom will have no end! Amen.

This is really getting old that you guys keep stating that Graham did not preach the biblical doctrine of salvation and thus is in Hell. Graham was an ordained Baptist minister who preached the biblical doctrine of salvation(which the Baptist doctrine of salvation is) and was saved because he had received Jesus as his Lord and Savior. And thus Graham is in Heaven. But since Hawking was an atheist who rejected Christ then he is in Hell.
