Well, you got half of it right. Care to look into Paul a little bit more. Don’t stop now.

[G Larry]

You respond to my specifics with a generality?
Here’s some more from Paul:
Romans 11:22 - remain in his kindness or you will be cut off
Phil 2:12- work out your salvation in fear and trembling
1 Cor 9:27 - drive your body for fear of being disqualified
1 Cor 10:11-12 - those thinking they are secure,the may fall
Gal 5:4 - separated from Christ, you’ve fallen from grace
2 Tim 2:11-13 - must hold out to the end to reign with Christ

Happy yet?

[Cronos]

I disagree with your statement "Fire and brimstone and the negative side of what the Bible teaches. It was such a turn off I stayed away from religion until I was an adult. Then, I met a minister that told me about love and grace and always preached on the upside of salvation. You my friend are only posting things here, yes they are in the Bible, yes they are relevant, yes it applies to our life now, but as I said before, that is only half the story."

I agree there should be balance, but in the modern world we no longer use the word "sin" -- we say "defect", "failing" or "issue" or "problem" but not sin. Hell is real, sin is real.
