I just wanted to take a look at a few bible verses and give an opinion of my thoughts
Matthew 24:14:
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
The Bible has been preached throughout the world for a long time. But now, with the increasing worldwide availability of television and the Internet, there is greater potential for the Gospel to be preached to everyone, everywhere....
I am a believer and feel the time is indeed short before the tribulation begins. However, I take issue with the gospel of Christ being delivered by televangilists. Almost all I see on TV recently, in the name of Christ, is pure sacreligion, devoid of any truth and in fact anti-christ in nature.

Letters From God and His Christ - Stricken
4/17/06 From God The Father and Jesus The Christ, Our Lord and Savior -
Hear the word of The Only Begotten Son of Glory and God: In the beginning was The Word, and The Word was with God, and The Word was God. In the beginning was The Word, of which I AM... The same as God, by whom all these worlds are and were created.
Even you did We create in Our image, vessels and temples of Our spirit. You have desecrated and destroyed all We had given you, by which you have also destroyed yourselves. You say, “God shall not destroy us. We have neither heard nor seen Him. He only exists in the minds of men and in the pages of books”.
Thus says The Christ, The Word of God: You shall surely die! You have sealed your own fates by your evil arrogance and rejection of the Truth. I was sent to redeem and restore you to glory, yet you forbear and cast Me from you as cords about your necks. Do you not understand I have broken all the cords that bind you, and freed you from your chains of imprisonment? Yet you say, ‘Cast these cords from us’?...

I am Muslim and disagree with you...I believe I will goto heaven as well as the rest of the God believing/fearing people on earth. I do not believe in one path only, I think that is short sided preaching and closes your mind off from free thinking (my religion has its short-sided stuff too, like no alchohol...come on). I dont like religions or churches dictating that you have to pay a percentage of your income to the church yearly, dont really agree with that one, kinda like buying your way into heaven. Now voluntary donations is just fine.
