The Drawing Power to Win People to Gospel is not the Fear-Mongering of HELL.
The way the gospel is presented by the religionists, one would think that God delights in fear-mongering tactics to woo people to Himself. God is love, love never thinks that way therefore, God does not think that way. The scripture declares that it is “the kindness of God that leads people to repentance and away from any hell that there may be.” The fear-mongering fear-monger’s vivid mongering of hell was never meant to be the drawing power that drew people to God.
To listen to the religionists, one would think that God created people to save their souls from hell...He didn't! It is as if the Godhead sat around talking...”let us make man in my image, but sinners so Jesus can go and save them from hell after the Holy Spirit convicts them of the sinning sinners I created them to be.” Absurd...VERY!
One would think that God and Satan are going tit for tat for the souls of men, and according to religion Satan wins in the end because the vast majority of God's creation is spending eternity in a hellish lake of fire that was created for him. Absurd...VERY!
God didn’t create people in His own image so He could save them from hell. He created people to have a relationships with Him and with one another.
Because scripture states that “vengeance is mind saith the Lord”, does not mean that God is a God of vengeance to people, God does not get pleasure in getting revenge on people by sending them to hell fire...GOD DELIGHTS IN FORGIVENESS!
Grace rejoices in the truth about God and His plan for the Community of the Redeemed in the Community of Humanity...RELIGION HIDES IT!
The drawing power to win people to gospel is John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
ReplyDeleteGod has given us His son but in order for it to do us any good a person must believe on him.
You are right when you say God didn’t create people in His own image so He could save them from hell. He created people to have a relationships with Him and with one another.
But the sad fact is that some people will not believe on Christ in order to have that relationship so the end result is that they perish as Christ said in John 3:16.
Ezekiel 38:32 says that God has no pleasure in death of wicked but there will always be those who will not repent.
Even in end of time when four angels are loosed to slay the third part of men they still will not repent.
Revelation 9 says
15.And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
