Maybe you didn't hear: some will take warnings as "condemnation" and "judgment".

The danger of drinking too much water does not leave you at the mercy of a God who sends you to eternal hell because you missed the mark in believing he loves you. Have you any idea how many folk although they are loved are having a hard time accepting it?, shall we warn them or continue to support them until they see it. . You should hear yourself, in fact that is the issue of every sin conscious christian, they lack the ability to see and hear what they are saying.

I'm a conservative at heart, but would have no problem with there being a government health warning sign on every church door that denounced everything within its walls that it disagrees with. For all it does is to make the hearer more sin conscious thn they were before entering the church doors, and being sin conscious is the very thing Jesus came to save you from. The love of being sin conscious is why fundamentalists through the ages have rejected the Light.

"If, you only had a little more faith."

I've heard this nonsense, more than I care to count.

I am warning you, if you don't believe you are loved by Jesus, Jesus will condemn you to hell.

Fine. Then what is your explanation for why things are not being manifested in the body that are SUPPOSED TO BE? Peace

Not really, I take them at face value.
And you, likewise - have a good day.
