My 98 year old grandmother is dying in bed of a pneumonia. She is not going to make it. I am trying to save her soul from the despair of hell, but she just won't have it. I have told her that if she doesn't accept Jesus Christ as her Lord and PERSONAL saviour that she will burn in hell for the rest of eternity. She will be continually raped by fire demons until her head explodes and then the process will start all over again. I keep telling her that this is what is going to happen to her if she doesn't accept Christ.
She tells me that religion is the Devil and that in her lifetime she has seen all the problems religion can create. What an old fuddy duddy.
What should I do?

This is not a joke. I am a card carrying Christian. Part of Jesus's Army.

Drastic times call for drastic measures. Beat her to death with a bible. It'll suck all the evil out of her body, and send her up to JesusLand, the theme park.

About you can do is bind the devil and his demons from coming against her. Pray that her mind be alert, her ears would be unstopped, and the scales would be off of her eyes, and that she will hear the good news about Jesus and His resurrection, and that there won't be any reason not to accept it.
And then give her the message again. Use John 3:16. And Romans 10:13. Bur not all people will accept Jesus. But this should help. I will pray this with you and be in agreement with you. Ask others to pray too.

It is very wrong of you to cause distress to you grandmother on her death bed. And you are inventing the part about being raped by fire demons. Shame, Shame on you. There is nothing about that in the Bible. You are no Christian either.
If you were, you would be telling your grandmother about Jesus' love and forgiveness, not trying to scare her to death early.
Again, I say, you should be ashamed of yourself. You may call yourself a Christian but you know nothing about Christ and His love for humanity and the dying.
Shame on you.

I agree with "TI"
I am a Christian Minister and the things you are saying and your attitude would drive "me" away from Christianity.
You can not use fear (no matter what age they are) to convince someone they are in need of Christ.
You need to start carrying Jesus your heart instead of a Card.
All though I think you are a troll, there may be someone else reading this that believes you.

Your grandmother is right. Religion is based on man's beliefs...it is shaped to be a certain way due to man's upbringings, background, culture, etc. To put it bluntly people like you who oppose their will on others are what we call "religious". Instead, tell your grandmother that there is a Jesus and higher being beyond life here on earth...he justs wants a relationship with you...not for you to be religious. Tell her to look unto Christ not by looking at the people of the religion but look at God for man will fail you but God won't. If you do decide to tell her this, please email me because I want to hear her response.

First off religion never saved anyone. Only Christ did,can,and will. Trying to scare the hell out of anyone one never works because that is religion. Try reading to her out of the Bible about Jesus's death and resurrection. Let the Holy Spirit minister to her and pray for her. THAT IS ALL YOU CAN DO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good grief! Have you NO respect??? Even for a dying 98 yr. old? You appall me. Leave her in her peace. She told you what she believes, can't you at least respect that?? Can't you at least spend your last days with her in love and rememberance?
I hope an Atheist pounds on you with their disbelief day in and day out when you are on your death bed! She may be a 'fuddy duddy' but you are repulsive.
I say 'Godspeed' to her death just to get away from you!

You stop saying these things to her. Let her die with dignity. Where in the Bible does it say anyone will be raped by fire demons until head explodes??????!!!! You would have pushed me away from religion with talk like that. Gods Grace is how she will be saved. You can not save her.

You shouldn't force religion so quickly on her- she might just block you out. You should explain to her in a loving way what Jesus Christ has done for you and how your life has changed. Tell her how much he loves her and cares for her. Read her some verses from the Bible. If she still doesn't accept, there really isn't much for you to do. I wish you much luck.
God Bless!

She is 98 years old! Scaring her to death won't help! Tell her that if she accepts Jesus as her savior she will spend an eternity in Paradise! God will give her a new body a healthy body a strong body! Please don't call her an old fuddy duddy, it is very disrespectful.

You have to understand that everyone is responsible for their own soul. You telling her about hell in that manner is a terrible way of showing them Christ. It's not out of fear, but of love and His grace. She not accepting Christ is her own decision. Have faith that God is just.
