I see such pastors as the logical result of the modern gospel with it’s puny wrathless God. The God most hear preached is not the God of the Bible. The God of the Bible is mighty and He’s sovereign. He isn’t a milquetoast God who is so loving He winks at the sin of his creatures. The God of the Bible is HOLY HOLY HOLY!
Amen. And therein is the problem. They’re not worshiping the God of the Bible, but a “god” of their imaginations. They’re therefore essentially committing idolatry, but falsely prophesying that the God of the Bible sees nothing wrong with behaviors He has already judged as abomination (disgusting) and worthy of hell. False prophets and their followers don’t come to a good end.
Christ said many people will go to hell and few people will go to heaven, so most people will only know God’s wrath in the hereafter. They’ll be looking for that imaginary kindly indulgent grandfather that doesn’t exist.
Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Mat 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
