Wouldn't it be better to rescue him and save his life? Some of you folks here have interesting ideas about charity and kindness, and love. Brother, the most loving thing I could ever do for you is to tell you to obey the gospel or face a certain eternity of wrath.

Old Paths, don't you think the woman that was caught in the very act of adultery, was as you would say, "on her way to hell!"
Why didn't Jesus say to her, "Why you hell bound hussy, don't take up my time, don't you know your going to hell!"
No, Jesus showed the greatest charity and it wouldn't hurt you to "be Christ like" in your attitudes toward sinners as well!
In my understanding, a Christian is simply someone that is Christ like and I don't find your ranting and raving "Christ like!"
