Interesting things about hell, lake of fire, and those who will go to there.
Those who will go to there are so disobedient that they will have to be cast into it:
"Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet... ...These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone." - Revelation 19:20
"The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone..." - Revelation 20:10
"And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." - Revelation 20:15
It is not written that they went all marching voluntarily to the lake of fire, they were all cast into it.
If going to hell was something good, then they all would enter there voluntarily. But it is not the case.
"and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth." - Matthew 13:42
There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth, this probably means they will keep suffering, it does not end.
"And these will go away into everlasting punishment..." - Matthew 25:46
The good thing is if we believe in Jesus we have no fear of hell, because:
"But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone." - Hebrews 2:9
"He who believes in Him is not condemned..." - John 3:18
"He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." - John 3:36
"...unless you repent you will all likewise perish." - Luke 13:5
Something to think about.
Blessings!

Are you being accused, are people questioning your faith?! Just as happened with Jesus here:
"When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”" - Mark 2:5
"...Why does this Man speak blasphemies like this? Who can forgive sins but God alone?" - Mark 2:7
Many people are accusing you today aloud or in their mind, and saying:
Who do you think you are?! Child of God?! Ha, ha, ha!
But do not worry, trust in God. Do not believe in what people will say about you.
What God says about you is what really matters, as it is written:
"...Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar..." - Romans 3:4
Many people may even doubt if you really are a child of God.
"...Why do you reason about these things in your hearts?" - Mark 2:8
And Jesus just let the Father said to them, as it is written:
"who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously;" - 1 Peter 2:23
And Jesus will say to them:
"Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise, take up your bed and walk’?" - Mark 2:9
And Jesus go and say:
"But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins — He said to the paralytic..." - Mark 2:10
"I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house." - Mark 2:11
"Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all..." - Mark 2:12
What does that mean?! It means a simple thing:
"...for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him." - John 3:2
"by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus." - Acts 4:30
"God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will..." - Hebrews 2:4
God, the Father is confirming and saying:
"...You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased." - Luke 3:22
"Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him." - John 9:31
"And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him." - 1 John 5:15
And you still have the witness in yourself:
"The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God..." - Romans 8:16
"And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him." - Acts 5:32
"...it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe." - 1 Thessalonians 2:13
"Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth." - John 17:17
"For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor..." - 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4
But the pharisees will harden their hearts and refuse to repent, and this is fulfilled:
"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes." - Luke 10:13
"Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’" - Matthew 7:22-23
"Only acknowledge your iniquity, That you have transgressed against the Lord your God, And have scattered your charms To alien deities under every green tree, And you have not obeyed My voice,’ says the Lord." - Jeremiah 3:13
And they will say the same things, they did in the past:
"...the Pharisees heard it they said, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”" - Matthew 12:24
"But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you." - Matthew 12:28
"It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household!" - Matthew 10:25
"...he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes." - 1 John 2:11
Blessings to you in Jesus' name!

To those who are seeking peace and comfort in drinks... Sorry, but you are seeking them in the wrong source:
"Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst..." - John 4:13"
"...Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst..." - John 4:15
"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." - Matthew 7:7
"For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." - Matthew 7:8
"And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit..." - Ephesians 5:18
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." - Matthew 11:28
"He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." - John 7:38
"...this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive..." - John 7:39
"If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!" - Luke 11:13
"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find..." - Luke 11:13
Blessings in Jesus' name!

frienduffSee how important it is to tell the truth:
"Cursed is the one who makes the blind to wander off the road. And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’" - Deuteronomy 27:18
"let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins." - James 5:20
And this is the way we have to lead people to:
"Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." - John 14:6

By grace we have been saved, through faith! \o/
"Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have
dealt with you for My name’s sake, not according to your wicked ways
nor according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel,” says the Lord God.’" - Ezekiel 20:44

Nor punished us according to our iniquities." - Psalm 103:10

He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit..." - Titus 3:5
"For when you were slaves of sin,
you were free in regard to righteousness." - Romans 6:20
"But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God,
you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life." - Romans 6:22
"For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end..." - Hebrews 3:14
"...exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,”
lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin." - Hebrews 3:13
"And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things.
Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown." - 1 Corinthians 9:25
"the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who
sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever,
and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
You are worthy, O Lord,
To receive glory and honor and power;
For You created all things,
And by Your will they exist and were created." - Revelation 4:10-11
"For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen." - Romans 11:36
Let us all remain on the way until the end!
Blessings in Jesus' name!

Should we adhere to the Faith Plus Nothing movement?!
What the Word says about it?
"But do you want to know,
O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?" - James 2:20
"...for this very reason,
giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,
to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness,
to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love." - 2 Peter 1:5-8
"For he who lacks these things is shortsighted,
even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins." - 2 Peter 1:9
Answer the following question: Do you love the Lord Jesus Christ?!
"My little children,
let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth." - 1 John 3:18
"Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth." - John 17:17
Conclusion:
"Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect?" - James 2:22
"For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." - James 2:26
"Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ." - 1 Corinthians 11:1
"...no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him." - John 3:2
"The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me,
these do, and the God of peace will be with you." - Philippians 4:9

Blessings in Jesus' name! I think there is one false teacher on YouTube that created the line, "Faith plus nothing," and some of his followers started repeating it. I know that Bloodbought over at WCF repeats that line a lot. The hope from these false teachers is that if you repeat something often enough, people will start believing it, even if it is completely false. There is no scripture that ever says anything close to that. As you rightly stated, the Bible says that faith without works is dead. That is the opposite of faith plus nothing. These people say things, figuring that nobody will take the time to look and see if they are true.
I noticed when I was reading some comments over at WCF lately, Behold was going around telling everyone that those that reject the OSAS heresy are legalists. The word legalist is not even found in the Bible, but people attack it like it is worse than murder. Then Bloodbought claimed that while the word legalist isn't in the Bible, but the word Judaizer is, and he claimed it was the same thing. Guess what? That word isn't in the Bible either. That was completely made up. One thing false teachers do is repeat things over and over. It is a kind of brainwashing technique. Repeat simple phrases and figure it will stick. "Faith plus nothing" is one such phrase that is not true, but they hope people will assume it is scripture.

That's right , its not faith plus nothing , its FAITH IN SOMETHING as in JESUS . Where our faith is , will be seen in whom we trust and obey . For if our faith is truly in HIM , then we know all things HE said are for our good . We trust in His words and not the wisdom of men which twist those words .
