“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
–Revelation 21:8
To be FEARFUL is NOT a good thing–though one might never know this from the constant indoctrination into FEAR that all Americans receive.
Americans are TAUGHT to be filled with FEAR over many different things.
- UFOs and space invasions
- Scary movies, TV shows or other media which depict the most fearsome events happening to regular, ordinary people
- Ghosts and other denizens of the supernatural
- Horrible stories in which the reader’s family and/or friends are shown to be the perpetrators of evil deeds
- Rising seas, drought and other results from that story called “climate change“
- The horrors of NUCLEAR WAR and the massive disfunctions associated with that term
- End times’ judgment from an unfeeling, vindictive God who wants to extract as much pain from each person as possible as a divine punishment for their transgressions.
God’s Word warns the reader that to be FEARFUL is a condition demanding eternal punishment.
There is a number of reasons for this, but the primary one is that those who are fearful do not demonstrate FAITH IN GOD to straighten all paths and to take care of His people He has chosen. To be fearful declares a disbelief of God’s Word, as well as God Himself.
“The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.”
–Lamentations 3:25
“Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?”
–Matthew 6:25
“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”
–Joshua 1:9
So, God’s Word warns the reader NOT to be fearful.
BUT, the culture and every part of that which surrounds life itself TEACHES Americans that it’s “FUN to be SCARED!”
- Inside Your Brain: Why It’s Fun to Be Scared
- Here’s why people enjoy being scared
- Fear can be fun, and it might even be good for you
- Quote by Vincent Price: “It’s as much fun to scare as it is to be scared.”
- Why is it FUN to be FRIGHTENED?
Since MANY of the scariest stories originate on PUBLIC TELEVISION (that portion of Satan’s Mouthpiece which is supported by TAX DOLLARS), Americans are, in essence, PAYING TO BE FRIGHTENED.
So, who is the reader to believe: God’s Word or the many words issuing from Satan’s Mouthpiece (the Corporate Media)?
IF the reader pays ANY attention at all, he will KNOW that the Corporate Media is a liar, while God’s Word is TRUE.
But MOST modern Americans believe themselves too sophisticated to believe such a ‘goody-two-shoes‘ book like the Bible.
STRIKE ONE.
Modern Americans have been told (over and over again) how much FUN it is to be scared–of ANYTHING!
STRIKE TWO.
One of the GREAT legends of modern times is that ALL men fear the unknown.
STRIKE THREE. YOU’RE OUT!
But do they?
This story is a legend because while it may contain elements of the truth, it generally is only a story.
A story in which a kernel of truth is embellished to an unlikely degree.
While NO ONE enjoys the unknown, it is NOT necessarily a place where terror lurks.
Otherwise, man would be TERRIFIED of tomorrow, for tomorrow is unknown.
The moral of this account?
Do NOT be FEARFUL.
Do NOT become VICTIMS of propaganda and teaching which is NOT true.
IF the reader has a hard time determining WHY this should be, he only need remember that there are those who desire his demise and torment.
Know that God will protect you–sometimes, physically and ALWAYS, eternally.
(IF the reader does NOT believe this last line, then he had better learn it.
It is likely to come in handy for the future.)
IS the reader FEARFUL, generally?
It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
—1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
