[QUOTE="Kentonio, post: 72323383, member: 406284"] I think I don’t understand the idea of it being a tough love. What about it is supposed to be so hard? Obviously setting aside things like pride and desire for wealth are challenging, but the return offer is joy for all people and happiness. I guess I never really got a sense of doom from Christians growing up. Obviously the Old Testament reeks of doom and horror, but the Christians growing up never embraced the Old Testament as a guide, it was always the New Testament that was their guide. I guess I never got a sense of ‘imminent’ judgement. They never said anything along the lines of “repent now or face suffering” it was always more of a “God’s path is beautiful, try and follow it and it’ll lead you to happiness” kind of approach.
