Voting For Slavery And Voting For Abortion: The Same Evil

I've been receiving cards like these pictured above in the mail these days. They are communications from Satan to lure me into the depths of hell, along with the candidates who send them. 

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7

"Reproductive freedom" is another way of saying you have the freedom to pay a doctor to chop up your own children in the womb. "Abortion rights" is another way of saying you have the right to hire a hit man doctor to kill your own child. Tim Walz even supports infanticide. God hates this. It is an abomination to Him. And He will not be silent forever. Those who support, promote, and vote for such evil will be chopped up by God forever in hell:

the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 24:50-51

Apart from the mercy and grace of the LORD Jesus Christ, the wickedness of the human heart does not change. The same people who voted to protect their rights as slave owners in the 1800s are the same people who vote to protect their rights to choose to murder their own children today. In both cases, it's a wicked choice not to treat human beings made in God's image like human beings made in God's image.

Abortion is the only unthinkable sin mentioned in the Bible.

To be pro-choice is to be pro-murder and anti-Christ.

This is abortion, please watch The Procedure by Choice 42:

If you support abortion, you will pay reparations in hell forever. 

I plead with you to repent and believe in the Gospel of the LORD Jesus Christ. He is your only hope. He is my only hope. If you truly know Him, you will not and cannot support abortion rights.

Pray that God would save Kamala Harris, Robert Kennedy, Tim Walz, Donald Trump, and all pro-choice politicians, parents, people, physicians, and "pastors". Pray that God would change their minds about abortion and cause them to stand up and defend the rights of the unborn and infants. Jesus is their only hope. Jesus is our only hope.

The Scripture Cannot Be Broken!

My favorite sermon on the Word of God and one of my favorite sermons ever is Pastor Kevin DeYoung's sermon from the 2014 gathering of Together For The Gospel called: Never Spoke a Man Like This Before: Inerrancy, Evangelism and Christ’s Unbreakable Bible

John 10:35: Scripture cannot be broken!

I especially love the way Pastor Kevin ended this sermon:

Jesus held Scripture in the highest possible esteem. He knew his Bible intimately and loved it deeply. He often spoke with language of Scripture. He easily alluded to Scripture. And in His moments of greatest trial and weakness – like being tempted by the devil or being killed on a cross – He quoted Scripture.

His mission was to fulfill Scripture, and His teaching always upheld Scripture.

He never disrespected, never disregarded, never disagreed with a single text of Scripture.

He affirmed every bit of law, prophecy, narrative, & poetry. He shuddered to think of anyone anywhere violating, ignoring, or rejecting Scripture.

Jesus believed in the inspiration of Scripture, down to the sentences, to the phrases, to the words, to the smallest letter, to the tiniest mark. 

 

He accepted the chronology, the miracles, & the authorial ascriptions as giving the straightforward facts of history.

He believed in keeping the spirit of the law without ever minimizing the letter of the law. He affirmed the human authorship of Scripture while at the same time bearing witness to the ultimate divine authorship of the Scriptures.

He treated the Bible as a necessary word, a sufficient word, a clear word, and the final word.

It was never acceptable in His mind to contradict Scripture or stand above Scripture.

He believed the Bible was all true, all edifying, all important, and all about Him. He believed absolutely that the Bible was from God and was absolutely free from error. What Scripture says God says, and what God said was recorded infallibly in Scripture.

Jesus submitted His will to the Scriptures, committed His brain to study the Scriptures, and humbled His heart to obey the Scriptures.

In summary, it is impossible to revere the Scriptures more deeply or affirm them more completely than Jesus did. The Lord Jesus, God’s Son and our Savior, believed His Bible was the word of God down to the tiniest speck & that nothing in all those specks & in all those books in His Bible could ever be broken.

Amen! Hallelujah! What a Savior! And What a Word of God we have!

Jesus Suffered The Hell Of Hells!

Here, then, on the cross, is all that makes hell into hell: darkness, pain, isolation, sin-bearing, divine judgment, curse, alienation, utter darkness, separation from God. If we need to be convinced of the reality of hell, all we need to do is to consider the cross. It is all there. Sinclair Ferguson

No one spoke about hell more than Jesus . . . because he, more than anyone, saw the true frightfulness of it . . . Jesus endured hell in the place of all those who wind up in heaven. Dane Ortlund

Christians who hold to the ECT view of hell (hell lasts a whole lot more longer - for eternity) believe God is owed a whole lot more justice because our sin is a whole lot more wicked, God is a whole lot more holy, Christ's cross is a whole lot more sacrificial, His resurrection is a whole lot more victorious, and the redemption of sinners is a whole lot more amazing and brings a whole lot more joy and gives God a whole lot more glory. Like infinitely more!

If you mess with the cross, you mess with hell. And if you mess with hell, you mess with the cross. God doesn't like it if you mess with His cross or His hell.

Unrepentant sinners will suffer Jesus' cross (God's infinite wrath) in hell, so our hell cannot be annihilation because it's the infinite wrath of God. Jesus was not annihilated on the cross. He bore the infinite wrath of God in a finite amount of time because of His infinity as the God-Man. Merely ceasing to exist is not the punishment of the infinite wrath of God. Ceasing to exist is not that fearful. Mark Twain said:

Annihilation has no terrors for me, because I have already tried it before I was born - a hundred million years - and I have suffered more in an hour, in this life, than I remember to have suffered in the whole hundred million years put together.

Jesus suffered our hell (God's infinite wrath) on that cross, so our hell cannot be annihilation, because it's the infinite wrath of God. One reason to totally reject annihilationism is that unrepentant sinners will suffer Jesus' cross in hell and Jesus suffered our hell on that cross, and these sufferings are not annihilation but the infinite wrath of God!

G. K. Beale writes: 

If Jesus suffered the penalty of sin, and if that penalty is annihilation and not eternal suffering, then would not Jesus have been annihilated and thus gone out of existence at the cross? And if this logic be accepted, it involves a Christological heresy: How could the second person of the Trinity have gone out of existence at any point? (His commentary on Revelation 14)

Paul Dirks writes:

An Infinite God Upon the Cross: The infinite weight of a single sin also has significant implications for worship. The Lord Jesus stated of the love of the sinful woman at Simon’s house, “Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little” (Luke 7:47–48). The realization of the immeasurable debt of even our least transgressions, commends to us the atoning work of Christ all the more. Inadvertently, Golding’s theory may suppress the worship of our Lord’s mercy and grace towards his church as deservingly damnable sinners, apart from his intervention. Thomas Brooks states,

Christ’s outward and inward miseries, sorrows, and sufferings are not to be paralleled, and therefore Christians have the more cause to lose themselves in the contemplation of his matchless love. Oh, bless Christ! oh, kiss Christ! oh, embrace Christ! oh, welcome Christ! oh, cleave to Christ! oh, follow Christ! oh, walk with Christ! oh, long for Christ! who for your sakes hath undergone insupportable wrath and most hellish torments. (Thomas Brooks, “The Golden Key to Open Hidden Treasures,” in The Complete Works of Thomas Brooks, ed. Alexander Balloch Grosart (London: James Nisbet, 1867), 5:141.)

At the cross Christ offered a ransom price beyond what any man could offer—“You were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot” (1 Pet 1:18–19). While it was Christ’s humanity by which he died to offer payment, it was his divinity that supplied the infinite weight to balance the cosmic scales. Martin Luther writes, “We Christians should know that if God is not in the scale to give it weight, we, on our side, sink to the ground. I mean it this way: if it cannot be said that God died for us, but only a man, we are lost; but if God’s death and a dead God lie in the balance, his side goes down and ours goes up like a light and empty scale.” (Martin Luther, Church and Ministry III, ed. Jaroslav Jan Pelikan, Hilton C. Oswald, and Helmut T. Lehmann, Luther’s Works 41 (Philadelphia: Fortress, 1999), 103–4.)

Josh Barzon writes:

The Cross Itself Testifies Against Annihilationism. If the punishment for sin is annihilation, then:

Jesus should have been annihilated.

The cross becomes a non-parallel substitution.

The atonement collapses.

But Christ suffered the wrath of God . . . not annihilation. Substitutionary atonement assumes the punishment due to sinners is conscious suffering, not nonexistence. Annihilationism breaks penal substitution.

If you want to rightly understand the cross, look at what sinners suffer in hell. And if you want to rightly understand hell, look at what Jesus suffered on that cross. There, Jesus suffered the hell of hells!

Unrepentant Sinners Will Suffer Jesus' Cross In Hell

Apart from the life, death, burial, and resurrection of the LORD Jesus Christ and placing our faith in Him alone by grace alone through faith alone, we would suffer in hell what Jesus suffered on the cross. This is what we would suffer in hell forever:

We would be stricken by God for all eternity!

We would be smitten by God for all eternity!

We would be pierced through with the sword of God's wrath for all eternity!

We would be crushed by God for all eternity!

We would be cursed by God and made a curse by God for all eternity!

We would be the propitiation of God's anger forever, bearing and satisfying the anger and fury of God for all eternity!

We would drink the cup of God's infinite anger down to the dregs for all eternity!

We would be forsaken by God for all eternity!

We would be cut off by God for all eternity!

We would be cast out of the covenantal, loving, gracious, and merciful presence of God for all eternity!

God would be angry with us for all eternity!

God would turn His face away from us for all eternity!

We would be damned by God for all eternity!

We would not be spared any of God's infinite fire and fury for all of eternity!

And there would never be any hope or any relief or any life forever!

But Jesus Suffered Our Hell On That Cross!

Jesus, Who knew no sin, was made sin on that cross, and God His Father punished Him with all the hell that we deserve because of our sins! Jesus suffered our hell on that cross. Jesus suffered this on the cross for us and for the glory of God:

Jesus was cast into outer darkness where there was much weeping and crying in pain!

Jesus had both His body and His soul destroyed by the fires of God’s holy wrath!

Jesus was cast into the fiery furnace of God’s anger!

Jesus was forsaken and separated from His Father!

Jesus endured much anguish and torment and was shown no mercy!

Jesus endured the unquenchable fire where the worm does not die and the flames are never extinguished!

Jesus perished and died and lost His life!

Jesus was condemned!

Jesus endured more than eternal punishment for all those who would ever turn and trust in Him!

Jesus had God’s vengeance inflicted on Him!

Jesus suffered the punishment of eternal fire!

Jesus died the second death!

Jesus was thrown into the blazing furnace!

Jesus was cut into pieces!

Jesus was cursed and cast into the eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his angels!

Jesus was locked in the chains of darkness and judged by Almighty God!

Jesus suffered the punishment of eternal destruction away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His might!

Jesus faced more than eternal conscious torment because He fully and finally satisfied God’s justice while He was on that cross!

The wrath of God remained on Jesus!

Jesus was thrown into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur forever and ever!

The smoke of Jesus’ torment went up longer than forever and ever, and He had no rest day or night!

This is true because Jesus is the infinite God-Man, so He could fully quench the fullness of the wrath of God forever in a finite amount of time on that cross to save sinners!

And He did all of that for hell deserving sinners - like you and like me - so that we might never, ever face such an horrific judgment!

Hallelujah! What a Savior!

And God raised Him up from the dead! And Jesus ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty with all power and with all authority in heaven and on earth! He rules and reigns for us now! He intercedes for us now! And He shall come again to judge the living and the dead!
