So tell me, is there escape from Hell? [/QUOTE]
Yep, it is called the cross. Do you have faith in the cross. or are you going to continue to have faith in yourself to be good enough to earn your ticket out of hell? Christ paid your get out of hell card. Are you going to take it in faith, or still try to get your own ticket?
How then can this servant who went to his Lord and received forgiveness not be a servant of his Lord's house in the first place. Was it not the Lord of that servant the One who throw him out into outer darkness. The same One who he called Lord is the same One who will delivered him to the tormentors of the soul. God is faithful to Himself, He has ordained judgment on all the wicked, be it a child of the rebellion or a child of His who has abandoned his righteousness for a live of moral wrongfulness.
Matthew 7:22
Many will say to Me in that day, ‘
Lord,
Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them,
‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
Are you going to now tell me at one time the Lord knew these people when they were saved, but later, when he kicked them out of his house for not obeying him, now lied by saying he never knew them?
or are you going to admit that many fakes walk into Gods house and claim they are servants of the lord. but were imposters the whole time, and will get a rude awakening when they find out all their great deeds they did in the name of Christ account for nothing, because they were frauds and not true children of the true master?
