Two roads to die for

September 24, 2021 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

PIC: Peruvian Andean road circa 1950.


Life is full of choices.  You know?  (Sometimes you don’t have a choice – like this only road over the Andes: Peruvian Andean road circa 1950.)  We want the best choice – every time, right?  We make a choice, choosing one over another – in order to have the best.  So good – it’s “to die for”.

Wanting the Best
Why not?! Only the masochist does not, or… the slacker, the disillusioned, the faker, the drunkard, the wife beater, the child rapist, the communist/nazi types, the bully, the fake news media “not-a-journalist” types, the false prophet, Islamic terrorists, carjackers, thieves, murderers….  But we want the best.

I really really like ice cream as my choice!  I really like it. But, I was told it’s not the best choice for a complete dinner.  (They say: eat lots of vegetables!)  So, I deny myself, and choose “well-balanced”.

The biggest choice
The choice of which “god almighty” to follow is important, they say.  So it behooves us to think about it!  In fact, that is the biggest choice on the planet!  Do you want a mere “god”?  Or do you want the real One?  (There actually is only One, the Bible says.)

The biggest choice we all make, one way or another, is:

Are you going with God?

Or:

Are you maintaining your course on the road to the eternally bad place? (It really is a real place!)

Just beyond the veil
In essence, there are only two choices before we die in-place.  1 We don’t stay in that place where and when we die.  We go to the ground (our body does), but ultimately we (our eternal soul) go to where God Himself determines we are to go.

You’ve got to be good with that, because He is the One who made us “…not we ourselves.” (Psalm 100:3)

When you get right down to it, you are the one that chooses: Your Way or God’s Way.  Which way is it going to be?  Which way are your feet walkin’?

Two Roads.   
We are natural born sinners  on a road away from God.  You can stay on it, and end up far, far away.  But God wants all to be saved (John 3:11-18).  2

What road are you on?  There is a way that leads to destruction (Matthew 7:13), and there is a way that leads to God’s Kingdom (John 3:16-17).

saving knowledge
* saves you for all eternity
* frees you from bondage to sin
* gives you the legal right before God in His Kingdom – to be called His own

versus…

the knowledge which does not save you (such as what false teachers teach)
* keeps you under condemnation
* keeps you bound in your sinfulness
* gives you no legal rights whatsoever – before Creator God

Source:  Saving Knowledge


Which way are your feet walkin’?
There is no other saving gospel
Galatians 1:6-9

You may not feel like you’re walkin’ “down”, but you’ll sure as Hell know it when you get there!  The road to hell is like any other road, except The Jesus Road.  So you don’t really have to be that discerning to find your way …eventually all the way to Hell.  There are innumerable ways to go “down”.  You going “down”?

I know you’ve probably heard it said that “I’d rather be with my friends in Hell”, but… you might want to reconsider that view. “Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like Hell.”  And you DO NOT want to go there.

You don’t “go to Hell in a handbag”, as someone said.  You go to Hell all alone.

The choice is yours, of course.  Go to Hell.  That is certainly one choice, granted.  But, the road called The Jesus Road will certainly take you to a better place.  Guaranteed.  Go to Jesus.  Jesus’ word is sure.

Do you know God?  Knowing Jesus is to know God.

3 Now this is eternal life:
that they may know You,
the only true

[supreme and sovereign] God,
and
[in the same manner know] Jesus
[as the] Christ
whom You have sent.
– John 17:3

Many religious people have missed the road to Heaven.  They were sincere and committed, but not “in Truth” – to Jesus.  Many so-called Christians lacked just one thing.

They all took a short-cut, or found themselves on some broad and gorgeous avenue they just could not bear to leave.  And so, they took that much more traveled road.

Our choice is between:  The rarely taken straight and narrow — and — the busy Broad Way.  You’ll have to die for either choice.  Where you going?

2 Corinthians 1:12
This is our [reason for] proud confidence: our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world [in general], and especially toward you, with pure motives and godly sincerity, not in human wisdom, but in the grace of God [that is, His gracious lovingkindness that leads people to Christ and spiritual maturity].

The Christ, Jesus… the only One

Being Wrong


John 17:1-10

When Jesus had spoken these things, He raised His eyes to heaven [in prayer] and said, “Father, the [a]hour has come. Glorify Your Son, so that Your Son may glorify You. 2 Just as You have given Him power and authority over all mankind, [now glorify Him] so that He may give eternal life [b]to all whom You have given Him [to be His—permanently and forever].

3 Now this is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true [supreme and sovereign] God, and [in the same manner know] Jesus [as the] Christ whom You have sent. 4 I have glorified You [down here] on the earth by [c]completing the work that You gave Me to do. 5 Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory and majesty that I had with You before the world existed.

6 “I have manifested Your name [and revealed Your very self, Your real self] to the people whom You have given Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have kept and obeyed Your word.

7 Now [at last] they know [with confident assurance] that all You have given Me is from You [it is really and truly Yours]. 8 For the words which You gave Me I have given them; and they received and accepted them and truly understood [with confident assurance] that I came from You [from Your presence], and they believed [without any doubt] that You sent Me.

9 I pray for them; I do not pray for the world, but for those You have given Me, because they belong to You; 10 and all things that are Mine are Yours, and [all things that are] Yours are Mine; and I am glorified in them.

  1. “in-place” defined here – https://www.yourdictionary.com/in-place.
  2. John 3:11-18   11 Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. 12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? 13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.[a] 14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,[b] 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”[c]

    16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

Bentley – News on Todd Bentley

The charismatic movement has been troubled by unbiblical practices and teachings. I am amazed at how folks are so easily mislead. “Many have exchanged the truth for a lie and chosen experience over content.” Look and examine and see, and compare with what the Bible teaches.

False Prophets

“You may be asking yourselves, “How can we tell if a prophet’s message really comes from the Lord?”” -Deuteronomy 18:21. How can we distinguish the true from the false?

No Faith In Heaven

Faith will not be necessary in heaven. Faith and hope will be ¨done away¨with (1 Corinthians 13:v8). When we finally are brought into His Kingdom, instead of on this earth with His Holy Spirit, then we will have Him, not just merely faith and hope.

Christian Answers Regarding Islam

Muhammad, or Jesus the Messiah? Which is the One sent by Father God? We’ve got to get this right, or else miss the true Savior of sinners. Read more here….

Biblical Homosexuality

…a Christian´s Perspective on Homosexuality Quoted from: http://www.indegayforum.org/news/show/31489.html Donny | April 18, 2008, 11:33am | # I’m up to the challenge of gay theology questions: In-hospitality towards others and “haughtiness” were the sins of Sodom. But Ezekiel is quite explicit about sexual sins being front and center as well. “Haughtiness” and the word “Gay” as […]

Inexplicable Joy

Heaven is a joyful place. That is hard for me to imagine… Everywhere I look around me, I see so many problems, issues and unresolved conflicts. But in heaven, they won’t exist anymore. There will only be joy because my sins have been paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ.  One of the main things that describes being in heaven is JOY. The word “joy” has a much deeper meaning than just happiness. To be happy can change so quickly. It can come and go in a moment. But joy…

Letter to Danny

We are continually bombarded by the fiery darts of the Evil One.  And when these little pricks hit us, we need to put-out the flames, quickly. Doubts, depression, feelings of inadequacy, troubles, unruly kids…, when they come at us, we “have to declare” the truths of God, and  we have to choose Truth over lies. 

Children’s Bible in a Nutshell

A quick overview of the Bible (tongue-in-cheek). A child was told to write a book report on the entire Bible. 

About Biblical Inerrancy

Would God give us erroneous documents and call them “His”? Dumb idea! God brought everything together to form the Bible. Evidence is overpowering as you read what the Bible is, and what it tells us. “It is the history of the Bible that makes it unique among ‘sacred texts.’ See who wrote the Bible, how its reportive style is backed by archeology and historians…” – Quote from “Why You Can Believe the Bible” (www.everystudent.com).

Oh what a day that will be!
Wow! To enter into the Kingdom of God - freely as His redeemed child. No cringing in shame, no burden of sinfulness before Almighty Holy God. I can only imagine.

Jesus, the second man, is the Lord from Heaven
"The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.” In 1 Corinthians 15:47 the Apostle Paul explained that Jesus, while on earth, was absolutely God-man.  He was not a mere man, ever.

There Is Only One God
Getting tired of people flippantly saying, ¨Oh my god!¨ Ever wonder who their ¨god¨ is!? Does that ¨god¨ know he is ¨theirs¨? Do you say that? We are quite the god-makers, are we not! What do you mean…“your God”?

God Is Not Distant
God is not some far away, distant-from-you, dis-concerned bubble of energy, inside some aura of mist on a mysterious planet far far away…. “And the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore” –Psalm 121:8

When it comes to God, who wants mere opinions?
When talking “God” and “Truth” – I really do not care what you think. You should not care what I think. What matters is “what God thinks”.
Lost I Came To Him Oh the wonder of that love of our fathomless Creator, to save me in spite of my self-centered soul. Lost and rebellious, He chose me. Pursued and wooed, what mystery – grace. I said yes to Creator God. To know…
Time as it really is Since Heaven is not regulated by time, the passage of time on earth is a separate event. *We will all step out of time together – into God’s presence, with no “time lag”,…The time it takes to go from earth to God's presence - is instant. There is no waiting around in the next dimension for earth time to finish, no midway point of gathering, no Purgatory. It will be an instantaneous experience for all mankind that ever lived. At the moment of death, our soul instantly leaves....

No Tolerance for Error
God is not sloppy nor wishy-washy.... There is no room at all – for error – when it comes to being right with God. You are either all in, or you are all out. Are you sure you’re in?

Simple View of Life  a simple view of everything. God of Everything that is – created everything. We are very fortunate that He is loving and kind, and really, really wants us.
Ashamed of Yourself?
Ever done something you are ashamed of?  Come on now, you’re sitting there by yourself – ‘fess-up.  Nobody listenin’ to your brain confess.  So... Yes?  Scenario: “You have? What!?
Being Christian What's it like these days to be a Christian? Really a Christian. For many, what the Bible teaches is generally okay, but, when it comes to certain specificities, what it says, they reason, needs to be interpreted in the light of today's enlightened realities. But -- will that work in - The End - when we stand before Him, physically? Stop and think about that Day.
Tomorrow
Tomorrow is the fool’s day. Tomorrow may never come. I may not get older. This may be it. 3.18.2017
Vortex of Good & Evil As mere humans, we are engulfed in the vortex of battle between good and evil. We must remember – it is God who created us, not we ourselves.  1.25.2017
What God has going on with us here on this planet.
God downloaded to earth ...inserted Himself into our history.  Jesus came to earth in order to satisfy the Courts of Heaven for our freedom. 3.23.2016

Cognitive Dissonance
...that extreme feeling of discomfort some folks get when their core belief is challenged or contradicted. What they think (“cognitive”) is rattled (dissonance) by what other evidences purport to be true – in direct conflict with what they hold to be “true”.  8.14.2018
Actually Try To Do The Deed 3.23.2016   “It’s not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better."

What God Did for Man
…The Simple Gospel of Jesus Christ. God walked the earth as a man. Have you ever wondered how it all got started – the universe, the earth, nature, animals, you and your “like”, mankind? 2.19.2018
The Bible is “able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation”
Do you honestly want to know how to get right with God?  Jesus promised He would save us for an eternity of only good, nothing bad. 9.31.2020

Christians worship a Jew

As a Christian, do you know the One you worship? Are you hating on Jews these days? Do you realize where Jesus came from?

The Jewish Land of Israel… since 2000 BC

If one is to truly understand the Israel – Arab land dispute of today (Nov/2023), prejudices and false information must be set aside. Accurate historical records must be examined.

Watch out! God protects Israel

IF you are on the side against Israel, you are fighting against God Almighty. And that is a losing war – every time. Watch out! Israel is protected by the One God.

An incomplete list of the types and prophecies Jesus has fulfilled

How many prophecies (Old Testament and New Testament) do you estimate Jesus fulfilled? Answer: A lot! Irrefutable evidence that the Messiah came to earth.
