He's a murderer and a liar.

You better ask that question kids.

If I can find in my Bible that God's got a kitty hell I'll preach kitty truths about a kitty eternity. But there is no kitty hell. There's no kitty eternity. And I beg you precious children stop resisting the gracious overtures, the gracious entreaties, the gracious invitations of the Lord Jesus. No you
