Does It Matter What You Believe?

Book Cover & Preview Text
Following the passage from II Timothy 2:15 “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly diving the word of truth.” I have endeavored to separate truth from error and point out the danger of trusting Tradition for doctrinal beliefs. If a person wants to spend eternity with the Lord in heaven, that person must follow God’s instructions for getting there which are clearly outlined in the scriptures. No other way will be accepted by God. To believe the wrong doctrines may damn a soul to hell and the lake of fire for eternity, so it is important what one believes.

About the Book
The road, the way, the belief system that leads a human soul home and into the presence of God is not crowded. There are few who find it.
So, it’s important to ask yourself: Are you on the right road?
Elvin C. Myers, a former missionary and pastor to churches in Colorado, Virginia, and Florida, wrote this book to steer people away from errors that might damn their souls.
The author draws on his more than sixty years of being a pastor to explore the differences between Protestant Evangelical beliefs and those of Catholicism. In doing so, he answers questions such as:
Why is it incumbent on people who know the truth of the Lord to speak up?
Does living a good life ensure someone will go to heaven?
What are the consequences of being disobedient to the Lord?
Can someone who is deeply religious still perish in hell?
It is the author’s sincere hope that this book will lead you away from the judgment of hell and the lake of fire that is mentioned in Revelation 20:14–15, a place where the soul never dies.
