The difference is one is using coercion to get you to follow them. The other is just telling you the truth of what to expect.
It’s not God’s fault Adam and eve sinned and thrust the whole universe onto a coarse that will lead to death and destruction. God made them to live forever and they chose to be their own God, we now must suffer for their mistake, not God’s.
Do not blame God for sin, he is just giving us a way out of it.
That is just two different ways of saying the same exact thing. I think you just made my point. I think you just agreed with me but you are trying to hedge. I mean the government tells you the truth of what to expect if you don’t follow their plan. A mobster tells a store owner what to expect if he doesn’t follow the program.
