Absolutely!!! Why any pastor would purpose to preach of God's love without preaching of His wrath is crazy and is essentially false teaching.

And what would you call someone like ShieldOfFaith, who teaches God's Wrath and yet exemplifies an attitude that is, in many ways, the antithesis of the love that Christ calls upon us to exude?
Of course! That way, if you can't convert people by persuading them that Christianity has any benefits over other religions and philosophies, you can always convert them by scaring the pants off them!
I have not followed SOF. I follow GOD.
I have to agree. A short time ago, I had lost faith in my religion,
and was seriously considering converting to Christianity, hoping this would help me feel less lost and scared. Then, almost miraculously, a Fundamentalist Christian on this forum posted something so hateful that I realized that I couldn't become a Christian, and I abandoned all thoughts of doing so.
I really wonder what such people think they are doing by portraying Christianity as such a hateful faith.
I think that Jesus would not approve of such things, as He said (in John) that His followers would be recognized by their love for their fellow humans!
Your words lead me to believe otherwise - that you follow your ego and your own self-righteous attitude.
If you truly followed God, you would take to heart what the Apostle Paul said about trying to accomplish things without love.
Gosh, I'm not really bothered by what my words lead you to believe.
Based upon the interaction you and I have had in this thread, and this being the first interaction that I recall, you have no basis to imply that I have attempted to accomplish anything without love.
He never does. As far as I can figure out he believes that if you are one of people God choose to be a Christian and destine to go to heaven, it doesn't matter if you believe or not, you get to go to heaven. All he is doing here is taunting people because he believes he is one of those chosen and we are not and we are going to burn for it according to him.
In my opinion, very unchristian like behavior.
Then you're not doing a terribly good job of spreading Christ's message, are you? He kinda calls upon us to care about what our words and actions cause others to believe, after all.
*shrugs* I've seen your words in this thread, and I've seen the message that you're conveying.
Yeshua Ben Yosef is dead and has been for nearly 2000 years.
I doubt that he is looking over me.
And if Christianity isn't a religion, then what is it?
I find it somewhat disturbing that somebody communicates actively but isn´t bothered by the effects of his words.Gosh, I'm not really bothered by what my words lead you to believe.

Yeah...That wouldn't be history. That would be mythology. Maybe you could make an attempt to prove it is history, but I somehow doubt you will.Quaint. You know a little Hebrew. But you appear to be really bad at history.
The tomb is empty . Jesus Christ is alive and seated at the right hand of the Father.
Or less false. Someone's doubts have nothing to do with its validity or lack there off.You doubt a lot of things. Doesn't make them less true.
Non-answer.Christ
I spread Christ's message by spreading His Gospel, not my words.
If you are put off by me agreeing with the words of someone who agrees with the Word of God, I couldn't care less. Your hardened heart will lead you to reject whatever you want and cause you to see a foe where a friend stands.
You've seen me agree with someone who is aligned with God's Word. The only reason you'd have something against that is if you have something against God's Word.
