[QUOTE="watchman1956, post: 73946620, member: 414089"] I think that in the end we will see this approach as a fatal mistake to many who are called Christians. The problem is if people are not accepting of all of who God is then they are still in rebellion to the true God. God has many faucets, some we like and some are hard. To want a God that is only love but has no wrath is another god. To want mercy but not deal with judgement and rightness is another god. Jesus went around doing good and healing everyone and the multitudes followed him for this reason. Then he turned to them and said that they were a wicked generation that were going to be judged on the day of judgement. Matt. 11:20 Then Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. 21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. 24 But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.” This is very much what we see going on in america today. There are people from all over the world trying to get into our country for the benefits we have here but they don't want our president, our government or our laws. They only want the parts that they like. Well many christians are presenting God the same way. What part do you like, you can have that and forget the rest. That won't work because that type of faith is what most of us grew up on. Don't you remember when your mom told you believe in the tooth fairy and you will get money, believe in Santa clause and you will get presents, believe in the Easter bunny and you will get chocolate, and oh by the way believe in Jesus and you will go to heaven. How is that faith working out for you so far? The gospel message in america and maybe around the world has gone from God saving us from the wrath to come and eternal life to your best life now message. It is a man centered message that will get you what ever you want if you only believe. And if your not getting it than you lack faith. And of course that faith is in yourself. Christ suffered the way he did because that is the just punishment for sin. And all sin will be punished. The only way to escape the judgement is to "REPENT" This is why God sent Christ to us so we could turn back to God and so he could be just and forgive us because justice was served for our sins in Jesus. You can take all the other benefits of God through Christ like healing, deliverance, prosperity, love and mercy but if you don't "repent" there will be judgement. Rom 11:22 Notice how God is both kind and severe. He is severe toward those who disobeyed, but kind to you if you continue to trust in his kindness. But if you stop trusting, you also will be cut off. This is my view of the gospel of heaven and hell. The are both real. Hell is reserved for those who reject God's rule over them and want to be there own god. Heaven is for those who have bowed a knee and said not my will but yours be done. [/QUOTE]
