This episode covers the following unpopular Bible doctrines:
1. Lazy & Slothful people are condemned by God. Lazy people are often referred to as sluggards in the King James Version of the Bible. References: Proverbs 15:19, 18:9, 19:24, 21:25, 13:4, 20:4, 22:13, 24:30, 26:16, Matthew 25:26, Romans 12:11, Hebrews 6:12, 2 Thessalonians 3:10, Colossians 3:22-25. Characteristics Of Lazy People In The Bible: 1. Lazy people love to sleep a lot. 2. Most lazy people will not achieve much in life. 3. The lazy will have to serve the diligent. 4. Lazy people waste time and other things. 5. Lazy people allow things to fall apart -- even their house. 6. Lazy people have desires but no will to bring it to fruition. 7. Lazy people find many excuses not to work. They are careless (out of it), neglectful, loafing, slow-moving, indifferent, inattentive, tardy, unconcerned, slack, slow, procrastinating, lagging, idle, apathetic, unready, unenergetic, sleepy, drowsy, & lethargic. 

2. There is no sex or marriage in heaven. Matthew 22:23-32, Luke 20:34-38.  From the Bible we know is that there will be no marriage in heaven but we'll be in resurrection bodies and have no way of knowing how that will change us. We do know that Heaven is not just an upgraded version of Earth.Paul said no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him (1 Cor. 2:9). It's beyond our comprehension.

3. The Jews killed Christ (technically speaking, the Romans also killed Christ: Luke 23:24-56; also wicked sinners & God killed Christ: Acts 2:23, Isaiah 53:1-12). Matthew 27:20; Mark 14:61-65, 15:11-15; Luke 22:66-71; John 18:19-24; Acts 2:23, "Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:"

4. Jesus had a low view of hypocritical religionists & often described their fate in the hands of God at the end. John 8:44-47; Revelation 2:2-7; Luke 19:12-27; Matthew 23:27. A hypocrite is an actor. He practices the opposite of what he preaches and his outward appearance does not match his inward condition. History is replete with famous hypocrites - politicians who prosecute people, only to be caught in the same crimes; ministers who preach vigorously against certain sins, only to be secretly indulging in such sins themselves; or leaders who claim to stand with and for the poor, even though they themselves live in exclusive neighborhoods and enjoy lavish lifestyles. The lake of fire awaits them (Revelation 20:15).

5. God creates some people as "vessels of wrath" made to be destroyed. Jude 1:4; Romans 9:21-23; Revelation 13:8; 2 Peter 2:9, 12-15; 1 Peter 2:7-8; Amos 3:2; Proverbs 16:4. "...does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use, and another for common use? What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction?" (Rom 9:21-22). The doctrine of absolute Predestination of course logically holds that some are foreordained to death as truly as others are foreordained to life. The very terms "elect" and "election" imply the terms "non-elect" and "reprobation." When some are chosen & others not. This, too, is of God. We believe that from all eternity God has intended to leave some of Adam's posterity in their sins, and that the decisive factor in the life of each is to be found only in God's will. The human race after the fall was "one mass of perdition," and "it pleased God of His sovereign mercy to rescue some and to leave others where they were; to raise some to glory, giving them such grace as necessarily qualified them for it, and abandon the rest, from whom He withheld such grace, to eternal punishment." - Loraine Boettner, The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination (Eerdmans, 1932). The Westminster Confession, adds: "God ... extendeth or withholdeth mercy as He pleaseth ... over His creatures, to pass by, and to ordain them to dishonor and wrath for their sin ..."

6. The fact that Jesus cursed a defenseless fig tree is condemned by many (especially the theological liberals). Mark 11:12-14, 20-21; Matthew 21:18-22; Luke 13:6-9. This is a good example of how God will curse unfruitful people on Judgment Day.
