abomination to the Lord.” That means lies are “extremely detestable” to Him.
     
    You: Have you ever stolen anything, in your whole life?
     
    Ehud: Yes, I have, when I was a young man.
     
    You: What do you call someone who steals things?
     
    Ehud: He is a thief.
     
    You: Have you ever used God’s name in vain?
     
    Ehud: Never.
     
    You: The prophet Jesus said, “Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Have you ever done that?
     
    Ehud: What do you mean?
     
    You: Lusted after a woman...had sexual desire for her.
     
    Ehud: No.
     
    You: Are you a homosexual?
     
    Ehud: No, I’m not!
     
    You: So, Ehud, have you lusted after a woman?
     
    Ehud: Yes, I have, many times.
     
    You: Here then is a summary of what we have found. By your own admission (I’m not judging you), you are a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart.
     
    Ehud: But I tell God I am sorry. I repent.
     
    You: That won’t help you. Remember the story about the criminal who said he was sorry and he wouldn’t do it again, and how a good judge couldn’t let him go?
     
    Ehud: But God is different.
     
    You: That’s right. He’s even more righteous than an earthly judge. He will by no means clear the guilty. So when you stand before Him on Judgment Day, will you be innocent or guilty?
     
    Ehud: I suppose I will be guilty.
     
    You: Will you go to Heaven or Hell?
     
    Ehud: I will go to Heaven.
     
    You: Why?
     
    Ehud: Because I am a good person.
     
    You: In your eyes you are a good person, and even in my eyes you seem like a really nice guy. But on Judgment Day you have to face a holy God who demands moral perfection
—in thought, word, and I deed. So, when did you last lust after a woman?
     
    Ehud: A few minutes ago. Okay, I see what you are saying...
     
    You: The Bible warns that all liars will have their part in the lake of fire. No thief or adulterer will inherit the Kingdom of God. Does it concern you that if you died right now, you would go to Hell, forever?
     
    Ehud: Yes, it does.
     
    You: So, do you know what God did for us, so that we could avoid Hell?
     
    Ehud: No. What did He do?
     
    [Be careful not to say that God had a Son, or that Jesus was God manifest in the flesh. Just preach Christ crucified.]
     
    You: Think of that courtroom story. The criminal couldn’t pay the fine. He was in big trouble, when someone he didn’t even know stepped in and paid the fine for him. Now that judge can let him go because the fine has been paid—justice has been served. We broke God’s Law (the Ten Commandments) but because Jesus paid our fine on the cross 2,000 years ago in His life’s blood, God can now forgive us. He can dismiss your case. He can commute your death sentence. The Bible says, “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” God proved His great love for you through the cross. Then Jesus rose from the dead, and defeated the power of the grave. If you repent and trust the Savior, God will forgive your sins and grant you everlasting life. Does that make sense to you?
     
    Ehud: Yes, it does. I have never heard that before.
     
    You: Ehud, if you died today, where would you go—where would you spend eternity? Think carefully before you answer. This is so important.
     
    Ehud: I would go to Hell.
     
    You: Really? So what are you going to do about it?
     
    Ehud: I think I need to pray.
     
    You: Yes, and repent and trust the Savior. When are you going to do that?
     
    Ehud: I will do that today. Right now. Thank you for talking to me.
     
     

     
     

     
     

     
     

     
    Roman Catholicism
     
    The Roman Catholic church has always been identified with Christianity, mainly because it upholds the fundamentals of the Christian faith. It teaches the deity of Jesus Christ, the Trinity, the virgin birth, and the bodily resurrection and return of Christ to the earth.
     
    However, most Roman Catholics
