    But remember your choices on earth determine whether you will make it to heaven to receive your reward or not.

  • San 3 months ago

    Its a lie. Before the bible was printed those who died where did they go? Didn't civilizations exist before Jesus even came to earth? Where did the souls if the Mayans, Aztecs, etc go?

  • Jack Toronto 3 months ago

    Part of the scriptures were there before the birth of Jesus Christ. The scriptures were put together later in a single book known as Holy Bible

    Yes , but choices are motivated by values. What values do you own as yours and work with? Reflect!!!

    So what is the difference between blessings and reward from God. Because I know God made Job rich before and the temptation of Satan even doubled because of Job's faithfulness to God.

  • @Jeremiah 3 months ago

    You are right. We need to study the Bible from Genesis to Revelation well before we speak on certain things. Pastor Chris might forget this verse in Exodus, so he's contradicting the verses.
