Yeah- it sure would- however- warning people of their sin is not cruel- keeping silent and turnign a blind eye, so that hte person never udnerstands their sin is however a cruel thing because that person is bound for an eternity of suffering

NOT Warning a child not to touch a hot stove because you’re afraid you might offend their delicate sense of self, is an act of cruelty when you KNOW the stove is hot and coudl harm that child.

Christ is giving a warnign to all that He is coming back to purge this world of sin- He is giving FAIR warnign to one and all when He states: Mt. 10:34-36 “Think not that I am come to send peace on the earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.”

Is Christ being ‘cruel’ here? Has He not informed peopl;e BEFORE His return what He intends to do? Shall we just cut out all Christ’s and God’s and the Apostles and Prophet’s warnings in advance because it might offend people’s delicate sensibilities?

Of course. It’s all for their own good, and they have it coming.

If God ‘set evolution in motion (and we’re talking here about macroevolution- NOT Microevolution) then the bible is a lie because htere most certainly would have been death, disease, and destruction and bloodshed before the fall of man- but hte bible tells us otherwise- these things came AFTER the fall of man and was a result of man’s sin- Before hte fall, there was no death of the spirit nor body- but IF evolution were true, there would have had to be death of hte body before hte fall- either that or you had every single step of species surviving for millions/billions of years until man fell- and you’d have every single stepwise random morphing alive for all those years- eithwer that or the bible lied to us about death only happening AFTER man’s fall, and Christ really died for nothing because sin had already entered the world millions/billions of years before Man, through the animals, and the bible stating that through man sin and death entered hte world is simply not true then?
