God demands our love?
 
True or False:

If you don't love God, He'll kill you.

Wow, 2 votes already, and it's a tie between True and False!

Keep those votes comin', folks! We need to get an answer to this one, for sure! :lol

True breaks into the lead, 2 to 1. Too early to call, of course.

Timmy, just wanted to let you know that I think of you whenever I watch the Veggietales "Josh and the Big Wall."

It was tied again a minute ago, and now True takes the lead again. It's a tight race!

But "Neither" isn't out of the gate yet!

False. He doesn't kill you.

His holiness demands a response to unrighteousness, even while He still loves us. In effect, it's not murder, it's Holiness. It's a cause and effect.

He's offered a way to escape the curse we've brought on ourselves through disobedience. If we decline, we continue to die and are condemned. If we accept His love, we don't. It's a picture of a Saving God, not a "I Gotcha" God.

Try putting a human mind around that.

If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking...

But God set it up that way, rigiht? He made the rules. And, being God, He could have set it up differently. Besides, the poll doesn't say anything about murder. It says "kill".

God did kill a lot of people in the literal sense, did He not?
