It looks like you are more interested in the intimidation than the salvation. That is not going to add up well in your books with Him.

Why sugarcoat it, HTR? Scripture doesn’t.

1) There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus...so the “books” are settled...forever.
2) Consider the kindness AND severity of God. Pretending one or the other doesn’t exist leads to a lot of confusion, since they’re both entwined throughout Scripture.
3) I do want our corrupted rulers to know Christ, but “there is no fear of God before their eyes”. First the fear, then the know. Tell me that isn’t backed by Scripture.
4) in addressing the latest outrages, I come out swinging due to the hardened culture. God gives grace to the humble, but opposes the proud. “To the wicked He makes himself seem torturous”—Psalm 18
5) in encountering someone feeling after God I would NOT address them in the tone I do while posting on a forum like this.
6) I side with God as David did, without apology. I also admit I sin, am weak, am afraid, etc. it’s all there in the Psalms. You could accuse David of the same thing you accused me of. Or Paul. Or Jude. Or James. Or....

But number one is the most important.
