I DON'T WANT TO GO TO HELL

 
By Carl Giordano
 
( March 12'th 2006 )

" But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway."  ----1st Corinthians 9:27
 
________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
I don't want to go to Hell. Do you want to go to Hell ? Here in our Text, above, the Apostle Paul is basically saying---
 
" I DON'T WANT TO GO TO HELL ! "
 
With fear and trembling, I declare to you the reader, to this entire wicked world, and to Satan and all his wicked hosts----
 
" I DON'T WANT TO GO TO HELL ! "
 
Now, I do not stand in fear and trembling of you, the world, or the devil: but of God Himself.  You don't have a Hell to cast me into;neither does the world or the devil....but, GOD does.  He created Hell for the devil and his angels---AND ALL THOSE WHO FOLLOW, AND LIVE LIKE, THE DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS ( demons )  ---- Matthew 25:41
 
Again, in our text above, the Apostle Paul is saying---" I DON'T WANT TO GO TO HELL "---then he tells us that in order not to go to Hell, he keeps under his body and brings it into subjection--- so that he does not become a "CASTAWAY."
 
Dear reader, it sure would behoove you and me to follow this GOD INSPIRED ADVICE, of the great Apostle, and bring our own bodies into subjection to God and His Holy Word ( the Holy Bible ).  If not, then we are in the same danger, as this mighty man of God was, if we fail to keep under our bodies and bring them into subjection.  The danger of being a CASTAWAY ! The danger of serving God, loving God, and even preaching His glorious gospel to others---and then dying and going to Hell ourselves !
 
One Evangelist wrote a book titled---
 
HOW TO HEAL THE SICK, CAST OUT DEVILS, RAISE THE DEAD---AND STILL GO TO HELL !
 
Oh, I know, the "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED" false teachers try to explain away this word "CASTAWAY" that we find in our text of 1st Corinthians 9:27.  Many of them "teach" that the word "CASTAWAY" would just be indicative of a "cracked pot"...."but one still fit to keep" ......and other such NONSENSE  do these "teach",  in order to EXPLAIN AWAY all the many hundreds of Scripture texts that warn us that we cannot live fast and loose in this life and still have our "pie in the sky in the sweet by n' by. " 
 
Many today, in America and around the entire world, are under the influence and total deception of the many false teachers who sell licenses to sin to the people of God.  Many have been taught, and swallowed the false teaching whole, which tells us that as long as we have said THE MAGIC WORDS---"Jesus come into my little heart"---that we are then set for life, and eternity, and now  we can SIN with impunity and God will still take us to Heaven one day and say to us on that day---"well done thou good and faithful servant"---even though we lived like the devil himself---because after all we did go down to the altar, at church, and we did say THE MAGIC WORDS---"Jesus come into my heart".  
 
It would be impossible to plumb the height, depth, and width of our present subject matter in this short "e-mail sermon"
( Oh, by the way, just as an aside, let me just quickly add that the word "SERMON ", in our English language, comes from a Latin word which means---"TO CUT ".   If you presently have a "Pastor" who is always "teaching"and "preaching" cute little sermonettes and he's always "comforting "---but never CUTTING---then I'd recommend that you run from that man, and that you go and find somebody who is really called of God and is doing the REAL work of a REAL Pastor. )  As stated above--- in this short e-mail sermon we cannot really do justice to this subject, but let's briefly look at this word---"CASTAWAY"---as found in our text; and then we will  make an application in only one area that we will have time and space for.
 
The Greek word here translated---"CASTAWAY"---is "adokimos";  and this same word, "adokimos", is translated, in other places in Scripture,  into the English word---"REPROBATE". ----  ( Romans 1:28---  2nd Corinthians 13:5,6,7--- 2nd Timothy 3:8---Titus 1:16 King James Version ) 
 
Now, if you will study these texts out, for yourself, you will quickly discover that there is NO WAY that this Greek word translated "CASTAWAY" and "REPROBATE" could in any way be describing somebody who was still acceptable to God and on their happy way to Heaven.  The very words mean "refused"..."rejected"...."worthless"...."to be thrown away as worth nothing "....see Greek dictionary and/or Concordance.
 
Further more, this same Greek word---"adokimos"---is translated--- "REJECTED"--- in Hebrews 6:8 kjv, and here is what it says--
 
"But that which beareth thorns and briers is REJECTED, and is nigh unto CURSING; whose end is to be BURNED."
 
Now, in all honesty and fairness, can you or me, or anybody else, possibly interpret "CASTAWAY", "REPROBATE" and "REJECTED" as terms describing one who is on his way to Heaven ? One who is merely "a cracked pot but still one worth keeping" ???  Only a "CRACK POT" would teach, and/or believe such a thing !!!
 
And let me quickly remind you, that in our text of 1st Corinthians 9:27 this is the very word that the Great Apostle Paul used concerning HIMSELF; and he said that it was possible, even for him, to become a---CASTAWAY !
 
We all know how MIGHTILY Paul was used of God. 
Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit he penned over half of the New Testament !
Yet, it's Paul who tells us ( under the inspiration of the same Holy Spirit )----"But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a CASTAWAY."
 
In Jeremiah 6:30 we read----"Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them."
 
Now, I ask you again, does the above text from Jeremiah 6:30 sound to you as a description of a group of folks who are on their merry way to Heaven ---- or is it referring to those who are CURSED,REJECTED, AND HELL BOUND ???
 
Let me reiterate----I DON'T WANT TO GO TO HELL ! 
Let me ask you again, dear reader,----DO YOU WANT TO GO TO HELL ?
The Apostle Paul didn't want to go to Hell, so he took the necessary steps and precautions not to.
 
I recommend ( if you don't want to go to Hell ) that you no longer "go to the movies". 
Hollywood is one of the main gateways to--HELL !
The next time somebody asks you---"Do you want to go see a movie ? "---look them square in the eyes and say---
" No thanks, I DON'T WANT TO GO TO HELL !
 
I can almost hear the carnal multitudes, that fill our church pews, tisking and saying----
"Oh, Brother Carl ! You are so 'legalistic' !  You are 'one of those' that believes 'movies are sinful'.............
 
Yes, mark it down in your little black book---"BROTHER CARL HATES EVERYTHING THAT HOLLYWOOD PRODUCES. BROTHER CARL SAYS  HOLLYWOOD HAS BEEN THE RUINATION OF AMERICA; AND THEN WE (AMERICA ) HAVE EXPORTED THIS CESSPOOL OF INIQUITY TO THE REST OF THE WORLD; AND THEREFORE WE HAVE BECOME TWO-FOLD MORE THE CHILDREN OF HELL THAN MOST OTHERS THAT HAVE EVER LIVED THROUGHOUT THE AGES........"
 
If, dear reader, you think that you can "go to the movies" and feast your eyes and ears on everything that ALMIGHTY GOD HATES...and then the next day go to church.... and then skip off to Heaven one day.....then it's my job, under God, to tell you that you are, of all people, the most deceived that have ever lived on the planet. 
 
What's at the "movies" that you so desire to see and hear ???
Is it THE BLASPHEMING OF GOD'S HOLY NAME ???--- The "movies" are full of such BLASPHEMOUS WICKEDNESS !!!
Is it "THE BEDROOM SCENES " that you are so interested in, Mr. or Miss/Mrs. "Christian" ??? 
Is that why you--"Go to the movies" ???
I mean, what in God's name does Hollywood have to offer God's people ???
Are you so afraid to be "different" than the Hell bound multitudes that crowd into the "movies" to watch Hollywood whores and whoremongers GLORIFY FORNICATION, ADULTERY, AND HOMOSEXUALITY ?????? --- please see Hebrews 13:4
 
All of the above tirade, against the movies, would also be applicable to TV .
Christian, you better not be "caught dead" lounging in your living room watching, TV, and the WICKED "TV STARS", as they are engaged in fornicating, committing adultery, cussing God's Holy name, and in general mocking everything that is HOLY.
That is, unless, YOU WANT TO GO TO HELL  !  In that case keep on listening and watching; you'll be in Hell soon enough.
 
Am I saying the technology of TV and/or the "Movies" is EVIL ?  No, definitely not.
But, I am saying that 99 and 44/100% of what is shown on TV or at the Movies is---EVIL ! 
The entire MORAL STANDARD of America, and indeed most of the entire world, has been drug down to the lowest possible rot gut level that Satan and his minions could ever inspire in the heart and minds of mankind. 
It's mostly PURE WICKEDNESS and GOD HATES IT !!!
 
Why do most people now think and believe that such things as FORNICATION, ADULTERY, AND HOMOSEXUALITY are "NORMAL".   It's simple---Most people, in America, including the so called "Christians" spend their precious time being desensitized and indoctrinated by HOLLYWOOD'S SMUT.  
 
If you spend your spare time in prayer and the reading and study of God's Holy Bible, then YOU will become HOLY.
If you spend your spare time being trained, by Hollywood, to be a SINNER, and to LOVE SIN, then you will become an
UNHOLY ABOMINATION in the sight of a THRICE HOLY GOD !!! -- see Isaiah chapter 6 and Romans chapter 1
 
One of the most evil men that has ever lived was the Russian communist revolutionary leader, Vladimir Lenin.
Almost 100 years ago Vladimir Lenin declared---
 
"We will destroy and take over America; and we will do it without having to fire one shot from any conventional weapon. We will use the 'movies'. We will weaken them,desensitize them, and indoctrinate the Americans with the 'movies'.  Then when they have become weak and immoral through the movies, we will be able to take them without firing a shot."
 
It's not so much the Russians that I am fearing....but, rather God Himself.  The Russians may take America ( and if you know THE BIBLE, then you know that WICKED NATIONS, such as America, are sooner or later overrun by other nations that are even more wicked. It's called THE JUDGEMENT OF GOD ! ) and the Russians may have their concentration camps----BUT, THEY DON'T HAVE A HELL TO CAST ME INTO.  God does.
 
The Apostle Paul did not want to go to Hell.  I don't want to go to Hell.  Do you want to go to Hell ?
