2 John 9-11 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the father and the son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed. 11 For him that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deed. I take this scripture as not taking nothing they are giving out, dont even tell them bye. Just close the door.

We do it on our own when we have time as individuals, But as a church together every second saturday of the month

Just a few verses from the Bible why you should cut all ties with your cousin. Prov 1:10-16 10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. 11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: 12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit: 13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil: 14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse: 15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: 16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood prov 22:24 Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: prov 24:1 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them. Sometimes when a christian tries to help a lost person by hanging around them,alot of the time it is the christian that goes back to worldly things.

The Bible says the love of money is the root of all evil. Having money is not the problem, we need money to live. The problem is when we forget God and spend all our time trying to become rich.

2 Tim 3:1-7 2 Timothy 3 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth KJV

There is an appearance of evil in such things. 1 Thessalonians 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

Psalms 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Romans 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beast, and creeping things. Lets take the first one, like to corruptible man- Santa clause, It is satans way of taking away the glory and praise of the birth of Jesus at christmas. anyway you move 2 letters in santa and you have satan. The second one, and to birds- thanksgiving turkey, If satan can get our minds off of thanking God for what he has done for us and get our minds on eating turkey and talking with friends and to stay busy cooking and running here and there to eat then we wont have time for God we will be to busy. The third one, and four footed beast- how about the easter bunny? Satan dont want us to think about a risen Christ on Easter. satan had rather have us hide eggs and hunt for them and let our kids think a giant easter bunny brought candy and chocolate. And the last one, creeping things- maybe halloween, it speaks for its self. God has never been happy or got glory from halloween. I know all these things are tradition and seems harmless. there are many that say it has never hurt me in any way. It may not have hurt some but if satan causes 1 person to stumble and fall because of this he has done his job. halloween for example has not bothered alot of people, but how many children dressed up as witches or devils and liked it and grew up fooling around with witchcraft or dabbling in the occult.

The Bible says that they who have never heard the word will be without excuse. They will know by the creation that there is a God. Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.

Those that have not accepted Jesus Christ and are Lost when they die go to hell to be tormented until the day of judgement. They dont get any relief from the torment of hell even for the judgement. Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

There is no age given in scripture, But I believe it would differ from one person to another. When a person is old enough to know right from wrong. That could be 10 for one person, 12 for another, and maybe age 15 for someone else. God knows each person and each persons mind and thoughts and knows when each person is accountability. Just my thoughts

As for the bodies of man and beast we will return to dust. But Ecclesiastes 3:21 the spirit of man goeth upward and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth. If mans spirit goes upward and the beast spirit goes downward then they are not both going back to God. only mans spirit is that goes upward.

1 john 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

It would have to be the book of romans
