[@bulasturubula3660]

He's pretty good at pretending he's not so good, many times you think you caught it, but he intentionally made an obvious "bad move" Impressive

Each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment, Hebrews 9:27 NLT But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. Romans 5:8 NLT For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 NLT Peter replied, Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38 NLT Jesus replied, I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. John 3:5 NLT For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. Romans 8:14 NLT And anyone who believes in God’s Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn’t obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God’s angry judgment. John 3:36 NLT Don’t be misled-you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Galatians 6:7 NLT If we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins. Hebrews 10:26 NLT You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it. Matthew 7:13-14 NLT No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him. 1 Corinthians 2:9 NLT
