Is there a Christian message without the element of fear/perceived threat?

so many christians highlight love and mercy as the main point of their religion.. that's undeniably appealing.. but is it true to christianity?.

in the end, isn't the belief all about escaping god's violent wrath?

aren't those that are unable to accept the system's contradictions and absurdities promised suffering and eventual destruction as punishment for their disbelief?.

XJW4EVR, your answers were clear and in agreement with my understanding of the main teaching of Christianity- salvation from God's wrath.

Nvr - Do you think the "Don't knows" should be let off with a caution?

Seems reasonable.

Where you been, Clam?

a bizarre explosion at a church east of kansas city killed one man on saturday afternoon.

atf agents said the explosion at the jehovah's witness' kingdom hall on foggy bottom drive was intentionally set, and that the person who died appears to have committed suicide.

witnesses described large amounts of smoke pouring out of the building, which they said was just recently completed.

Maybe he was suffering from mental illness?

I Received The Holy Spirit!

i want to share with you all a most wonderful experience i have just had.

i have been going to a christian church called the vineyard.

they have a live band and lots of singing goes on there.

Big Tex wrote dirty filthy nasty sex words on JWD, and subsequently got a thread locked. The Holy Spirit can't reward that kind of behavior.

Thanks for the clarification.

I had no idea about his sordid past.

Most Haunting Voices in Music

by stillajwexelder in

ok - so after a few threads in the last few days i started listening to some of my old music.

some artists just have voices that are hauntingly beautiful and stick with you forever.

for me - the top three are.

For the believers:

Since then I feel protected and the terrible aching grief has gone from me.
Then I envy you. You have something that I never will. I am truly, truly happy for you.

Why hasn't Big Tex received the Holy Spirit?

It's a free gift, right?

Isn't he believing hard enough?

Has he not found the right church?

Or is his grasp on reality just too firm?
