The following article is from another web site, attempting to demonstrate the Reality of Death. I have attached it to this site as it states the Clear and Present Danger, we all face, Death and what to do about it before it occurs.
So if you are a Catholic you better read this , if you are an Atheist, you better read it if you belong to any of the hundreds of religious denominations, you better read this Prepared and researched by Sam Martino, All quotations are from the KJB
The staggering number of people which die every day can’t be denied! You can argue concerning the percentage of people going to Heaven verses Hell; however, Matthew 7:14 clearly teaches that only a “FEW” people will enter into Heaven. “MANY” are going to Hell. As I mentioned, I’d be surprised if more than 1% of the world’s population are born-again believers.
If you don’t believe the Holy Bible, then you had better hope to God that your right. If you believe the Bible “just enough” to BELIEVE THE GOSPEL—you will be eternally safe! We all must die and it’s guaranteed that we’re not going to escape death! It’s just a matter OF TIME! Prepare to meet thy God!
Salvation is not found in religion, but in a person—Jesus Christ!
Let’s think a bit further on this shall we…
Again, if 313,111 people die every day (on average), then 13,046 people die every hour. 13,046 divided by 60 minutes = 217 people die every minute. 217 divided by 60 seconds = 3.6 (we’ll say 3) people die every second. Can you imagine this? 3 people die in this world every second, of every minute, of every hour, of every day, of every week, of every month, of every year! It’s adds up to 114,285,714 people a year.
What percentage of people do you believe are truly saved? If you say “ALL,” then you are obviously NOT a true Christian believer. 1st John 2:22 teaches that anyone who denies Jesus Christ is a LIAR. That means all Islamic Muslims are liars, because they deny that Jesus is the Son of God. Muslims deny that Jesus ever died on a cross. There are an estimated 1,600,000,000 Muslims in the world.
All followers of Judaism are liars, because they deny that Jesus is the Messiah. That’s what the Bible teaches in 1st John 2:22. It’s Jesus or Hell.
The question is: Do you believe that the Bible is God’s Word? I do. By the way, the King James Bible is the only reliable English Bible that hasn’t been corrupted by Satan. All modern Bible are translated from an entirely different, corrupted Hebrew and especially tainted Greek source. We can trust only the precious Greek Textus Receptus!!!
There are another estimated 1,200,000,000 Roman Catholics in the world, all who believe that Mary is able to give salvation, that the Seven-Sacraments are essential to salvation, that the Pope speaks for God upon the earth, that the priest has power to forgive men’s sins, and that good works can get them into Heaven. What a bunch of Satanism! The Bible teaches that we are saved solely by Christ’s righteousness, which is through faith in His precious literal, physical, blood that washes our sins away (1st Peter 1:18-19; Hebrews 9:12,24; Revelation 1:5; Romans 3:25).
I witnessed to a Catholic man once who said he didn’t believe Jesus was almighty God. He’s not a born-again believer. How sad! Most of the world has been deceived by false religion. Jesus is almighty God (John 1:1,14; John 10:33; John 14:1-3; 1st Timothy 3:16; Colossians 2:9; Revelation 1:8). Yes friend, sadly, billions of people are needlessly going to Hell. It is their choice! Each and every HOUR, roughly 13,000 people die. Several thousand of those people go straight to Hell. Think about that! Every hour, several thousand people plunge into the horrifying depths of the flames of Hell.
You’ve Probably Never Really Heard The Gospel
More than likely, you’ve heard all sorts of secular and religious nonsense taught throughout your life, that are false teachings concerning salvation. Well, I’m right now going to share the truth from God’s Word with you, so you can be forever and securely saved, that is, born-again.
Being saved is very easy. Salvation happens when a person acknowledges their sinnership, coming to God on the basis of being a hell-deserving sinner, and BELIEVES the Gospel. The “Gospel” is defined in 1st Corinthians 15:1-4 as three things: Christ DIED on the cross for our sins; He was BURIED; and thirdly, Jesus RESURRECTED from the dead three days later for our justification. If that’s your only hope for eternal life, then you are saved my friend. We are saved by BELIEVING. If you’ve never received Jesus as you personal Savior, please do so now. John 1:12, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.”
But you ask, “What about repentance? Don’t I have to stop living in deliberate sin to be saved?” No, turning away from sins to be saved is one of the biggest lies of Satan, which has caused millions of people to go to Hell forever. You cannot show me even one verse from the Bible that says to “turn from sin” or “repent from sin” to be saved. Romans 3:19 teaches that the PURPOSE of God’s Law (i.e., the Ten Commandments) is to show man his sinful condition when compared, so that “ALL THE WORLD MAY BECOME GUILTY BEFORE GOD” (Romans 3:19b). And then when men see their guilty condition, they REPENT (i.e., change their mind), and BELIEVE the Gospel to be saved. This is exactly what Galatians 3:24-26 teaches.
This is what Romans 10:3-4 teaches… “Christ is the END OF THE LAW, TO THEM THAT BELIEVE.” Oh friend, have you been deceived? The Devil has crept into most of the churches today with a false repentance that gives men religion without the new birth in Christ Jesus. Eternal life is a free “GIFT,” which does not impose any obligations upon the recipient to forsake the sinful world, cease from sinful behavior, surrender all to Christ, declare “Jesus as Lord,” and confess Him before men. These are all “WORKS,” which are prohibited in God’s plan of salvation. That’s why it is called “THE SIMPLICITY THAT IS IN CHRIST” (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4). The biggest culprit, the most satanic source of these false doctrines, is the new counterfeit modern Bible versions which the churches have embraced wholeheartedly. Most religious churchgoers today are as naive cattle headed into the slaughterhouse.
We are saved simply by believing on Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God, Who died, was buried and and raised up. Acts 10:43, “To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.”
Please understand—all one’s good deeds, keeping of the Ten Commandments, water baptism, church membership, communion, penance, confirmation and praying are A ROAD TO HELL if you place any trust in them to save you. Salvation is solely by Christ’s righteousness, and not by any self-righteousness of our own. Titus 3:5, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us…” God DIDN’T give us the Ten Commandments to earn our way to Heaven; but rather, to show us our sinful condition and need for a Savior. Galatians 3:24, “Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.” Amen!
Don’t rely upon anything or anyone other than the Son of God, Jesus, to forgive your sins. Romans 10:13, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Whosoever means YOU!!! “Call” means “to appeal unto” i.e., “to go to Jesus to be saved.” If you come to the Savior, He will not turn you away (John 6:37). Isaiah 1:18 teaches that God will forgive the vilest sinner who comes through the Son of God. All that God the Father asks is that we come to Him through His dear Son for forgiveness (John 14:6).
Salvation is not a prayer! Salvation is not a decision. Salvation is not an experience. Salvation is a supernatural act of God in response to one’s faith in Jesus Christ. Eternal life is freely given (Romans 5:15), freely offered (Romans 10:13), and freely received (Revelation 22:15).
To be saved, you simply stop trying to work your way to Heaven, and you rest in the finished work of Christ. That’s what the Sabbath Day pictured in the Old Testament. Jesus is our Sabbath, in Whom we rest for salvation. Our faith plus the Gospel equals salvation (Hebrews 4:2). As I’ve shown you, the “Gospel” is the DEATH, BURIAL and RESURRECTION of Jesus Christ (1st Corinthians 15:1-4). The only way to Heaven is to come as a guilty sinner and cast one’s self at the feet of Jesus for forgiveness, BELIEVING the Gospel. Romans 4:5-6, “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works.” Did you read that? … HIS FAITH IS COUNTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS!!!
You don’t need to stop sinful behavior TO BE SAVED. Whatever changes God expects will be dealt with ONCE YOU ARE SAVED, and BECAUSE YOU ARE SAVED. Can anyone give up all their sinful bad habits? Jesus asked in John chapter 8, “Who is without sin among you?” Salvation is not about us giving up our sins to be saved. Salvation is about us admitting that we are guilty, hell-deserving, sinners; and therefore, we need a Savior to redeem us. Jesus has the nail-scarred hands and feet. Jesus is that precious Savior.
Once we are saved, God will work in our heart to make the necessary changes. A changed life is the FRUIT of the indwelling Holy Spirit, and not a part of the ROOT of saving-faith. Salvation is solely by Christ’s righteousness (Romans 10:3-4; 2nd Corinthians 5:21; Matthew 6:33). Faith is the only righteous thing that I can do! Perhaps you say, “Preacher you’re just trying to scare me!” You’re absolutely right! Proverbs 1:7, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Matthew 10:28, “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”
