Such a good point. There isn't a bible verse that says to warn people of Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection.
If hell is a literal lake of fire, nothing else really matters and believers in ET should be warning people night and day. Imagine if it were true and Jesus came back and found believers shopping at Home Depot to improve their flower beds, or eating lunch at Burger King, or having fun at a party - or at a potluck dinner at church! They are doing all this instead of warning people? It just goes to show that warning people is not what God intended for our lives. Why not, if people all around us are dying every day and going to an eternal firepit? It's clear we are to love our neighbors as our ourselves, but how can we keep that commandment and not be just as concerned for their eternal fate as our own? It is impossible for us to do anything to save people, and that's exactly why most people never try to help them "get saved", or else they try and give up. What's impossible with man is possible with God. God can and will save the people He created.
Just a medium sized public high school about 50 miles north of Detroit. Every speaker gave a sermon.
The kind of school? The kind of school in a community in which people still revere God and filled with people who don't as well.
Look, I live in the buckle of the bible belt - people here revere God plenty. But you just would not find a speaker like that at a public school graduation, thank God

They wouldn't allow a person like that at a graduation here either. In this town the Baccalaureate, which precedes the graduation by a couple days, is put on by one of the local churches. But the local church flew in this guy from Georgia I think.

There is no verse in all the bible that says people go to hell for not believing in Jesus.

Hi John. Good questions. Those people who do not believe John 3:16 were not chosen before the foundation of the world by God to be believing. Since He did not choose them to be believing, how can He eternally torment them for not believing?
Those whose names are not written in the book of life will be cast into the absence of life. The lake of fire is called death. Death is the absence of life. That is not eternal death because 1 Corinthians 15:26 says that death will be abolished.
But where in the bible are we told to implore people to believe in Jesus or they will go to hell?
How is it the biggest crock ever? It's a lie. It's exactly what Satan wants people to believe, right next to believing there is no God at all.
I agree.
