I know a lot of “nice” church folk. Truth-tellers are known as “judgmental,” apparently a not-nice thing.

But to carry it to the conclusion, He told sinners to knock it off.

And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Matt 10:28

>>> Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

“him” is not capitalized here.... so is this a reference to the “fear of God”? or the “fear of Satan”?

Is it God in hell that is destroying the body and soul? or is it Satan?...

keeping in mind that it is not until the great white throne judgment where God refers to the “second death” which is spiritual in nature... not of the body or soul.

Satan.

But God sends people there.

“If we were all namby-pamby, nicey-nice Christians then Christianity would have been wiped out centuries ago.”

Which is happening right now, and for the very reason you have stated.

We should be in constant combat with Islam. Until none remain.

And legalistic.

And then people quote *Do not Judge* at them using Scripture as a bludgeon with which to get them to back off.

No... people choose to be away from God.

We are judged already... Hell is the default.

Jesus took our place there to save us from it.

But... this digresses... your answer that it is Satan
in hell which destroys is the correct answer....

So it’s a different type of fear.

The judgement still must be made. And God will do that.

No Question about that.

Does not negate the point that “fearing God” is different in meaning than “fearing Satan”.

Good article and quite relevant for this day and time. In a society that calls good bad and bad good, those who follow Jesus Christ MUST stand up for what is true and right - even if it means being labeled as “mean-spirited” or bigoted. We must obey God rather than man.

Nonsense ... but look how many folks cannot discern it for the nonsense it is!
