Is using harsh words to someone who is plunging head long into hell rude? Do you think that Jesus was "rude" when He said these words?. . Matthew 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.. . How do you know what we are taught in our churches every Sunday? Do you attend church? It doesn't seem like it. Here's what I heard in the last sermon I listened to.. . 2 Timothy 4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.. . Notice that it says to preach the word in season or out of season. That means preach the word when people want to hear it and when they don't. It also says to rebuke people who follow false teachings. Why?. . 2 John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.. . Did you get that? Deceivers preaching that God's Son didn't come into the world in the flesh but was just another "prophet" like Muhammed. That's the teachings of the antichrist that seeks to preach another gospel than the one Jesus gave us.. . That's why the Apostle Paul said.... . Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. 11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.. . What's really wrong is trying to please men instead of God and allowing people to slide into the pit of hell because people like you might call people like me "rude" for telling others the truth.
