Will Smith and Tom Cruise and Scientology!


Actor/singer Will Smith has joined the ranks of Hollywood power players actively recruiting for the Church of Scientology. Big stars traditionally distribute “wrap presents” to crew members after completing a film. His recent gift after wrapping next summer’s comedy Hancock was a card good for a personality test to be taken at the Scientology center. The quiz is designed to convert people to the religion by identifying personality flaws that Scientology can fix (for a fee.) Smith, who is best buddies with the church’s #2, actor Tom Cruise, has never confirmed that he joined the church. But he told Access Hollywood last month: “I was introduced to it by Tom, and I’m a student of world religion. I was raised in a Baptist household. I went to a Catholic school, but the ideas of the Bible are 98% the same ideas of Scientology, 98% the same ideas of Hinduism and Buddhism.” Smith’s rep was traveling with the actor on Tuesday and unavailable for comment.

I see where someone had handed Tom Hanks a way of the master type of tract and at first he refused it. He later took the tract. Hollywood is so lost right now. 98% of the ideas of the Bible are the same ideas as Scientology??? Uh, NOOOOOOOO!
You better enjoy your favorite actors and actresses now, because at this rate, we will not be seeing them in heaven. How anyone can say that Scientology and the Bible are 98% alike, is crazy. Will Smith has no idea what kind of mistake he is making. And this mistake will cost him dearly after he dies. He seems like a nice guy. A pretty good actor. A good father (possibly, I haven't heard any bad reports on him) and yet, a good person is not going to make it to heaven based on being good. It is only by putting his faith and trust in Jesus Christ alone that he will be saved. It is when he repents of his sins and follows Jesus and not some loony like Tom Cruise. These people who think they are going to be god, will be sorely disappointed on that fateful day when they come face to face with the real and living and wrathful God. They will be "cast" into hell.
A Few Bible Verses that contain "HELL":
2 Peter 2:4 For if God spared not angels when they sinned, but cast them down to hell, and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
James 3:6 And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell.
Luke 12:5 But I will warn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, who after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
Mark 9:47 And if thine eye cause thee to stumble, cast it out: it is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell;
Mark 9:45 And if thy foot cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life halt, rather than having thy two feet to be cast into hell.
Mark 9:43 And if thy hand cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed, rather than having thy two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire.
Matthew 23:33 Ye serpents, ye offspring of vipers, how shall ye escape the judgment of hell?
Matthew 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is become so, ye make him twofold more a son of hell than yourselves.
Matthew 18:9 And if thine eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire.
Matthew 10:28 And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matthew 5:30 And if thy right hand causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body go into hell.
Matthew 5:29 And if thy right eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell.
Matthew 5:22 but I say unto you, that every one who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of the hell of fire.
If you know someone who has fallen for a cult like Scientology, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witness, etc., please point them towards these verses. I would like to see all people go to heaven, but the reality is that few will enter in. We need to hear more teachings on hell in church. We need to warn the people of why they are headed to hell. We need to explain that Jesus took all the punishment that was due us, on himself. How can any man say that the Bible is 98% the same as Scientology or any of the eastern religions? JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN. PERIOD. EXCLAMATION POINT!

Praise the Lord for folks like Kirk Cameron. Indeed, even among Hollywood, there is a remnant chosen by grace.

I just pray that God will bring these other celebrities into His fold.

Ouch another actor that I like bites the dust. This is getting ugly.

Four Pointer said...

No, "I Am Legend" was ugly. I had forgotten Will was a quasi-Scientologist. If I had, I would have talked my wife out of going to see it (besides the fact that it was slow, sluggish, depressing...)

What's that saying about "2 hours of my life I'll never get back"?

I am so thankful for Kirk Cameron and his potential for influence in Hollywood. Too many actors have bitten the dust, do we just write them off? I hope not. I am in illinois so I do not hobnob with the celebrities. I am legend was not my favorite movie!!!! I agree with you on that!
