God's Holy Religion!
“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this,
To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world”
"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward,
but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness"
"I tell you, Nay:
but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish"
Jesus Christ, Luke 13:3 (KJB) - Matthew Henry Commentary
“But the FEARFUL, and UNBELIEVING, and the ABOMINABLE, and MURDERERS,
and WHOREMONGERS, and SORCERERS, and IDOLATERS, and all LIARS,
shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone:
which is the second death”
Revelation 21:8 (KJB)- Matthew Henry Commentary
