No Christian Is Either
"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." Rev. 21:8
This verse either sweeps every living soul into the lake of fire or requires explanation. Everyone has been fearful, had moments of unbelief, been abominable, or murdered, whoremongered, sorcerers (pharmakeus =drug abuse), lied, or idolized. Some unsaved sinners are, or were, all of these things before they came to Jesus and were forgiven. All Christians have sniffed, or touched some of these things but repented and will not be cast into the lake of fire for it.
David not only lied but committed adultery and murder.
"I said in my haste, All men are liars." Psm.116:11. Here David confesses he lied when he said that "All men are liars". But did that one exaggeration (lie), said in his "haste" (not that he didn't know better) make David a "Rev. 21:8 Liar" doomed to hell? Of course not. He said it because, though all men are not Rev.21:8 liars, all men... and women and children have lied. David was guilty of violating three of those horrible sins, but we know he was a true believer and went to heaven. He was chosen by God to write Psalms and to be king of God's people. He knew he had sinned but also that he was the apple of God's eye and he prayed for God's mercy....
"Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings," Psm.17:8.
The fact is that a Rev. 21:8 liar is an unredeemed, perpetual, habitual liar. When you encounter such a person, you can know that though they say they are Catholic or Christian, they are again lying. To twist the word and holy things of God will bring God's judgment.
"Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar." Prov.30:5-6
The Rev.21:8 habitual liar is always, at heart, an unbeliever.
"Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son." 1 Jn.2:22
A Rev. 21:8 liar listens to and repeats lies habitually
"A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue." Prov.17:4
Why are some people so addicted to lying?
"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. .... When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar: and the father of it." Jn.8:44
