CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JUNE 20, 2023
I LOVE “JEOPARDY,” ESPECIALLY WHEN HOSTED BY KEN JENNINGS, WHO WON MORE CONTESTS THAN ANYONE. IN A WASHINGTON POST INTERVIEW ABOUT HIS NEW BOOK “100 PLACES TO SEE AFTER YOU DIE” JENNINGS REVEALS AN IGNORANCE ABOUT DEATH AND ESPECIALLY HEAVEN AND HELL THAT IS SHARED BY TOO MANY PEOPLE.
JENNINGS, WHO IS A MORMON, SURVEYS IDEAS FROM AROUND THE WORLD ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO US AFTER WE DIE. IT CONTAINS 100 ACCOUNTS, RANGING FROM MYHTOLOGY AND RELIGION, TO IDEAS FLOATED IN BOOKS, MOVIES AND TV SHOWS.
THE BOOK IS PUBLISHED TODAY SO I HAVEN’T A CHANCE TO READ IT AND MAYBE HE DELVES INTO WHAT THE ONLY RELIABLE SOURCE – SCRIPTURE – HAS TO SAY ABOUT DEATH, BUT THE POST DIDN’T FEEL IT NECESSARY TO QUOTE WHAT JESUS SAID AND HE AND PAUL ARE THE ONLY CREDIBLE AUTHORITIES.
IT IS APPOINTED UNTO MAN ONCE TO DIE AND AFTER THAT THE JUDGMENT, BUT WHOEVER CALLS UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED.
IT IS SATAN WHO DISTRACTS WITH IDEAS ABOUT RELIGIONS AND MYTHS. HE WILL DO ANYTHING TO KEEP US FROM WHAT SCRIPTURE SAYS ABOUT THE PATHWAY TO HEAVEN.
WHILE KEN JENNINGS’ BOOK MAY BE ENTERTAINING, IT DOESN’T SOUND LIKE IT CONTAINS THE ULTIMATE TRUTH. I’M STICKING WITH THE BIBLE. I’M CAL THOMAS.
