Sad as it is, the truth is every person you have more than 3 conversations with will lie to you at least once. You probably get lied to 50 times a day. That's 350 times a week. 18250 times a year. So how are you supposed to know whats true? There's a book for that. it's called the Holy Bible. I've got a couple truths from there, but as Herbert Agar says, "the truth that makes men free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear." So I pray your eyes are opened just a crack, to get you out of comfort and into freedom.
1. Lets start with a big one. The devil. I'm assuming you just thought of a red guy with horns who sits in a lava pit and tries to get people to jump down with him. That's wrong. Yeah he wants people to come into hell, (that's the next one), but the lie is the middle part. First, the devil is not in hell! He is "the prince of this world" (John 14:30). And he isn't sitting! The bible says he is "prowling like a lion" (1 Peter 5:8) and that he comes "to kill and destroy" (John 10:10). So never let your guard down, because as soon as you do he'll be attacking you!2. I'll get straight to it, when you die, you will either go to heaven or hell. I'm going to heaven. Are you? Have you truly put your life in God's hands, and trusted His son as your savior? If so, you are going to heaven no matter what. If not, please at least talk to someone about it! I'd be willing to talk, or a pastor, anyone who will accurately portray Him! But if you are a Christian, can you really live with keeping quiet? I once heard an atheist say, "if you truly believe that anyone who doesn't trust in Jesus will go to hell, how much to you have to hate them to not do everything to get them to see Him? Because if you don't, you are letting them sentence themselves to eternal torment.
And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
-John 8:32
