I think the Gospel is a practical gospel. I think God’s commandments are rules given by a loving Father, showing us the way to live in order to have the best chance of happy, peaceful, prosperous lives and societies. So, when I read those verses, I think they just describe the natural consequences of failing to embrace the Gospel and live the commandments.
I agree with you but I don’t condemnation, at a time like this, draws many people to your ideas and causes resentment(that’s Pat’s ideas)
