Can't even go to a F***ing funeral without the pastor making 80% of the time people are there about the church and Christ.

Where will you spend Eternity?

On a late-night television show a popular playwright was asked if making lots of money concerned him. The studio audience went dead silent when he answered, “No...what does concern me is the fear of dying.”

Most of us, like that studio audience, are too uncomfortable with death to think clearly about our own eternal future. But the fact is that one day you and I will die. We can live in fear of the unknown or we can take a moment to consider what the Bible says about eternity…it may be the most important moment of your life.

First, let me ask you a simple question that will help you face the issue: If you died tonight, where would you spend eternity?

Most people, when asked that question, say something like…“I’ve led a pretty good life. I hope I’d go to Heaven.” But they’re not really sure.

Why are they willing to risk their future on wishful thinking when the Bible tells how they can know for sure where they will go after death? Perhaps because it’s so humbling to face the fact that we are sinners in need of salvation. The Bible says that all fall short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23). In our natural state none of us is pure enough to enter Heaven; we need God’s forgiveness before we can come before Him.

Entrance into Heaven is not based on what we have done, but on what God has done for us through Jesus Christ. The Bible says that “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth [remains] on him” (John 3:36). That’s why God sent His Son to take the punishment for our sins, so that we won’t spend eternity in hell separated from Him. “While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). He willingly took our place, then he rose from the dead three days later.

Now let me ask you the same question again: If you died tonight, where would you spend eternity? Are you ready to stand before God with Christ as your Savior or are you willing to face Him in your sinfulness? The choice is yours.

If you choose God’s way, you can tell Him in words like these: “Lord, I am turning from my own attempts to be good enough. I accept Your offer of forgiveness and salvation. Thank You that Christ died for me so my life can change now and I can spend eternity with You.”

The person who truly believes that Christ is the only way to God has this assurance from Christ Himself: “He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation but is passed from death unto life” (John 5:24). I hope you’ll accept His amazing offer!

Accept Jesus Christ, repent, pray, ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit, study the King James Bible, and take the yoke of Jesus upon you.

Like Lazarus. Check.




Crisis, actually.

You have the same appointment, and like Lazarus the same opportunity to reveive eternal life through JESUS and the power of his resurrection.

The false churches are filled to the rafters and there is no end to the money if you compromise the message. Few follow after the Truth.

I'm already In Christ - I'll go wherever He wants me

Fair enough

A funeral is the MOST appropriate time to say this.

I can understand if it's a normal funeral, with the relatives and friends, but this was a high profile memorial service with thousands of people, from all sorts of beliefs. NOT the place to tell them they're going to hell.

Just to answer most of the people who felt insulted by my post. 20% of the funeral was about the man who died and his faith that took up about 30-40 mins. the other 2 hours was spent with the pastor trying to get new people to go to this new church, and him telling us we have to become Christian to see him again. and repeatedly was asking everyone to say as he says and would say prayer.

I wouldn't have been so offended if the rest of the time had something to do with the deceased.

and fyi after we all gathered for food and talk and there was a huuuuge amount of people talking about this.

Fuckwits go to a Church and are annoyed to hear about Christ
here's your sign

ALL Churches are false. Jesus did not tell us to build huge buildings (golden calves). Most worship their elaborate building.

Churches are controlled by the Satanic government through their 501(c)3 tax exempt status. They are sold out to Satan.


Christians: Run For Your Life!

you must of not read what I wrote. I can tell your all sorts a filled with the holy spirit.

I'm not Christian but come on. If God offends you either suck it up for your loved ones or

I guess you would really have to be there to understand..

what I called selfish was the blatant 2 hour long sales pitch for this new church.

I am a spiritual person i'm not one of those super opinionated easily pissed anti religion kind of person. i'm tolerant

but not when a man side lines the funeral and for two hours talks about the church and guilt trip everyone there into joining Christianity so they can see the deceased.

it was totally fucked up.

He did instruct them to eat, drink and be merry for the three days he was in the tomb. Not to cry about it and feel guilt in condemnation of sin that church brings to mankind.

Look at it this way; Church sucks but you gave up 2 hours to pay your final respects. You aren't there for a religious experience, you are saying goodbye.

I was thinking the exact same thing!

If you think that's bad, you should go to a Catholic funeral. There isnt even 20% dedicated to the deceased. Just solid standard funeral mass without any eulogy.

And just how many "new converts" do you think they got at the funerals described by the OP and MrsCrickets? Most likely, he repulsed the majority and will have to give account of that in the judgment.

I agree with OP. Someone paid good money to have their lost loved one remembered, not come to an advertisement to join the army of dumbasses that believe in adult fairy tales.

Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). Notice that Jesus does not say he will show you the way. He says, "I am the way!"

Jesus also spoke of a narrow road and a wide road. Many walk on that wide road, which in the end is the way of death (see Matthew 7:13).

God's peace fills your heart when you walk in the way of Christ. Jesus said to His followers, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives" (John 14:27). God's peace is a gift available to each of us.

When you walk in the way of Christ, you experience an inner peace--tremendous quiet in your heart. The broken pieces in your life are put together again.

The way of life is also the way of purity. The Bible says, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God" (Matthew 5:8).

The way of life in Christ is also the way of love. "By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another," Jesus said (John 13:35). The Bible adds, "We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers" (1 John 3:14).

Today, the word love has been robbed of meaning. It's used to describe a person exploiting the emotions of another for his own satisfaction and selfishness. But that is not love. True love wants the very best for someone no matter what it may cost us.

The way of life is also the way of obedience. The way of the Christian is to serve only one master--Jesus. The Bible describes Him as "Lord of lords and King of kings" (Revelation 17:14). The Christian lives as though this is true. Jesus becomes your Lord, your Master, your King. What He says goes.

The servant of a king waits for the slightest hint of a command, then rushes to obey. A soldier following the leadership of a great commander willingly obeys every order.

Accept Jesus Christ, repent, pray, ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit, study the King James Bible, and take the yoke of Jesus upon you.

That's understandable. The thing that gets me today, is almost always when people make complaints against "Christians," what they are complaining about is a particular brand of American Protestant Fundamentalism.

I was never comfortable around this type of Christianity, and I suspect its largely because its more Judaism-lite with Jesus, than traditional Christianity.

In contrast, I was and am completely at home in old world Catholicism, which I was raised in New Orleans, but not as a church going Catholic.

This type of Christianity is more of an all-embracing culture rather than a command to believe dogma on the pain of hell. Even years ago, I never remembered threats of hell, and it seemed even the worst people could go to purgatory with eventual redemption.

People could float on the top the culture without any particular commitment, or dip into it for strength and guidance, or even participate in its greater mysteries.

Believe me. Fundamentalist type Christianity and old world Catholicism are like oil and water. In the Catholicism I was raised, religion is a private matter, so the constant bible talk of Pentecostals and Evangelical types was not accepted or welcomed.

I have left specific instructions that the gospel is to be preached at my funeral. In fact that is the only reason that I would chose to have a memorial service.

What kind of person would I be if I didn't share the good news of Christ one last time, with the people that loved me enough to come to my funeral? After all, I love my family and friends, and I want to see them again on the other side.

I simply want the message to go out and perhaps plant a seed- God will have to do the rest...

Well yeah. Perhaps the thing to do is to put a sign up front saying this is a Christian funeral and if Christianity offends you to stay the fu*k out.

I mean seriously. With the bad energy and freakn' evil thoughts atheists bring to any situation, they are the last people I would want around when transiting from material life. If you want to insult my belief, then screw you. Stay away.

Well see that's because you went to a F***ing Funeral. If you go to a regular funeral or a G** Da**** funeral, they are not like tht.
