What is our response to false teachers and people who sin? Real freedom is not about doing a bunch of things that destroy us. Pleasing and loving Jesus should be more important than anything else in the world.
God promises to punish all liars in Hell forever. When people are liars, they cannot trust anyone else. Often times, fear is tied to guilt. When our consciences are not clear we feel guilty. Jesus can and will clear our consciences. Joseph asks his brothers the key question that would stop him from trying to get revenge; "Am I in the place of God"? Satan will try to use fear to keep us from blessings that God has promised. Christian burial is not a carryover from paganism, it is a reminder that wherever we are buried is not our final home.
