Far too many Christian pastors today are failing to preach the whole Bible to their congregations. They are deliberately choosing to ignore certain passages of the Bible so that they would not OFFEND their attenders. Here are just a few verses of what is being ignored by them.
"He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son. But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." Revelation 21:7-8
And as to who will be allowed to enter the New Jerusalem and who will not ...
"... and nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life." Revelation 21:27
The greatest tragedy of all time will be when all of mankind stands before God at the judgment and to see those who have ignored Him and His warnings will be separated from those who obeyed. All who have never accepted God's invitation to become His children will be cast out of His presence and cast into the lake of fire/Hell forever.
Most pastors today are only speaking about the Happy verses of the Bible and ignoring verses like the ones above to the peril of those who listen to them. Many pastors today are condoning homosexuality, adultery, lying, greed and a myriad of other deadly sins. Those things that God calls an abomination are being avoided as they might offend someone. I believe that unless I am offended by my sins, I will never recognize the deadly quality of them and will have no reason to turn away from them. Until a doctor tells his patient that he or she needs to loose weight, stop drinking or smoking or having sex with anyone they choose outside the bonds of marriage, then they do not see the need to change their lifestyle. Many things endanger our physical health today and just the same there are many things that are deadly to our spiritual health. Man has been given the chance to turn away from these things and become a member of God's family through faith in Jesus Christ. This is how you get your name in the Book of Life. To avoid this issue is to play Russian Roulette with your eternal soul.
