God's Grace, Love or Mercy will not SAVE you ...

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.

As NFS puts hands over the eyes and goes nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope.... Then declares God ony a fraction of what he is. Let NFS take the hippie, new age version of God and keep it. NFS will find out the truth hopefully from the Bible vs the day of judgment. Obviously NFS is most likely a Universalist or a OSAS. I am thinking that NFS is toward the Uni myself.
