Have you read the OLD TESTAMENT?
The children of Israel were perpetually in either
a state of revival or moral degeneracy.
Don't blame Jonathan Edwards for the moral degeneracy
of this vile, wicked generation.
Judgment starts at the House of the Lord.
The preachers who don't preach REPENTENCE FIRST,
or who preach the "feel good" gospel, which has never
to my knowledge darkened America's door,
or who preach the prosperity gospel with God playing
the role of Santa Claus, another new satanic twist,
all these people will answer for the souls they are
leading to perdition.
You have Christianity upside down and backwards.
Christians love God for what HE DID for us at Calvary.
We have NO FEAR at all, of ANYTHING.
We are NO LONGER CONDEMNED,
but those who haven't received the Lord Jesus Christ
have EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD TO FEAR,
because they are already condemned, as Jesus said.
They are bound for the Lake of Fire!!!
That isn't some notion Christians came up with to
fill the pews of their churches by scaring the lost,
it is the WORD OF GOD!
It is a fact, and if you have any unsaved loved ones,
to keep that reality from them, is nothing short of SIN.
I don't know if you are saved or not, but we are to
proclaim the WHOLE COUNSEL of God.
Most importantly is God's Love shown at Calvary,
where He was tortured, crucified, and died a bloody
death, IN OUR PLACE!
Jesus Christ, and Him crucified!
He is our Lord and our God and our Salvation,
but if you leave this world without Him, you are
eternally lost,
and that fact should make ANYONE SHUDDER.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23587448 I DID preach repentance first.
But people wanted to have a reason besides being burnt alive if they didnt. That only brings FALSE repentance.
FORCED love is FAKE love..and if you come to God ONLY because he is going to torture you if you dont..your heart is NOT REALLY IN it,,and he sees that..and God does NOT like fake love.
Yeshuah is coming for his BRIDE..not His terrified blackmailed cowering slave.
If you got a woman to marry you because you told her you would skin her alive if she didnt..tell me..WOULD you really trust her love if she did give in to this and marry you?
She may marry you..but always resent and secretly HATE you..for being such an evil heartles loveless nutter.
And yet you expect to win people the same way..by blackmail and terror and force. Works of DARKNESS..and thus the fruits you see in the church..so much greed..arrogance..pride..selfishness..FEAR..always FEAR FEAR FEAR..and adultery.
WHY??
Because all those people NEVER REPENTED..they just said the right words..and NOTHING changed on the inside..they serve themselves more than God..they do it to save their own backsides..because of FEAR.
God sees all this..look at the endless fruit of hate and snide arguments christians have..always trying to win points and threaten eachother with doom and death..hate and arrogance..is the fruit of FAKE LOVE..which comes with FAKE REPENTANCE.
The Lord wants fruit that will last..not this self rightous greedy arrogant snide fruit the church produces today.
You do NOT know the love of the Lord..you only know the chastisement..yes..he DOES chastise..but he does it in LOVE..not HATE..and when he DOES have to use a rod..it hurts him more than it does us.
If you are going to preach..try honey..it attracts bees a lot better than vinegar...and fruit that will last.
