I fully understand what you’re saying, but I feel you’re going about it the wrong way, and as a result, turning people away from Christ, instead of [b]to[/b] Him. Jesus said to spread the good word with love. That was the very example he used, not making people feel threatened with hell. After all, He came to [b]save[/b] people from hell....not desiring any should perish. Jesus isn’t the bad guy here...He came to save lost souls. I understand you, but many don’t and take it the wrong way. Jesus said to spread His love for people, and give them [u]good news.[/u]

@LadyGrace Just that I see things in terms of where they will end up. If people keep ignoring the gospel of Christ they will end up in hell and I just want to say it like it is so something can shock them into reality.
I know honey. I would too, but that turns them off, and the other way. It only makes them feel we are judging them, condemning them, and/or that we think we think we’re somehow better than them. We don’t, but they don’t see it that way. The first thing they accuse Christians of, is trying to use scare tactics, then turn completely away from Christ. We sure don’t want that. I’ve been telling people about Christ from 40 years. This is why I know that. They don’t realize that God sends no one to hell. Instead, He offers a way to [u]save[/u] them from Hell, if they accept His free gift of salvation. Some do not even realize why they need Jesus, or even that they do. Others, don’t believe He exists. I’m happy you love Jesus and have a heart that wants to tell others of Him. Jesus wants everyone to know just how much He loves them. He is a guiding, loving Light, in a cold, dark world. His message to the world is one of hope and love. I hope that’s what we’ll share with people, too.
