I've given you much to consider regarding what has acutally happend in history and you avoid everything. God forbid you ever wind up in some kind of ministry.
It's obvious you lack experience. Don't worry, time will reveal many things.
The Bible in your hands is a dangerous tool, deeming those who disagree with you as filthy sinners, who will burn.
I know your kind. I sat under a man who boiled with severe demand to obey him as the man of God. When he fell into adultery and the church scattered in confusion, the pain felt by these people is still felt today over 30 years later.
You need a sincere visit to I Corinthians 13. Love is absent from your desire to please God, which deems all of your advice as null and void. |
Love is great and should be showed to all. What you are pushing is sloppy, stupid, enabling love though. Liek the parent who continues to enable the lazy non-working kid by paying their bills. Or the spouse who enables the drug addict spouse. You promote a sickening version of "love" and grace whereby we never say enough is enough and demand change from the child.
I have an older brother who my mother loved dearly. However, when he becamse increasingly involved in drugs and being an abusive husband to his wife, my mother cut him off almost completely. She loved him, but would not tolerate his lifestyle as long as he refused to change. When he began to straighten his life out, she opened the door to him.
Even with the prodigal it required a turn around. The father didn't go to the city to look for the kid. He waited for the kid to make his way home.
God is not only love. He is also jealousy and a consuming fire. He is called terrible at times. He shows his wratha nd anger towards those who disobey and mock Him.
You leave out many facets of what and who God is in order to maintain your emotional based view of how lovy dovy and wimpy God must be to fit your soft theology on sin.
