Have conservatives lost their fear of God?

Do conservatives truly believe they are the mouthpiece of God and have the right to speak for Him?

Do conservatives truly believe in the Holy Spirit at work in the life of a believer in regard to personal changes in character, places you should/should not go, things you should/should not wear, or do they think God needs a hand from them?

Do you really believe that God delivered the Jews from legalism and strict adherence to the letter of the law only to put Gentiles back into it because the Jews failed so miserably at accepting His Grace?

Do you really think that God is in those shout-down sermons that condemn others to hell for what they wear [clothesline messages]?

Just curious.

toss all the legalism stuff. toss all the free love stuff..

The fact is that the majority of mankind has lost their fear of God. Our respect for him is only applicable when it is convenient for us, Con Mod or Lib. We have made him a God of convenience rather than a God of sovereignty and worthy of the highest respect. This is a blight that crosses all theological and philisophical boundaries and I think the stone throwing from both sides is just a smoke screen to cover up the irreverence that we all have fallen into.
