Those who have a promise don’t die!!! Repeat: I will not die without your promise being fulfilled in me!!! That’s how thousands of CDs are sold, temples filled, and a lying God preached, generating thousands of people disappointed in a God who never promised what they think he didn’t deliver.
Then, when I say that the Brazilian evangelical church is a schizophrenic image of the gospel, I’m too radical.
Hebrews 11 contains the list of heroes of the faith who were true examples of faithfulness to the Lord and who, as it’s written, died without obtaining the promise, and the chapter ends with: “all of these were commended for their faith; yet none of them received what had been promised.”
Dear friend, stop reciting low-quality gospel music as if it were the Bible. Go listen to U2 and read the Bible — you’ll gain more.
