From: "Carrolll Moore" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Judy: They have a gut reaction because they don't understand the gospel Dean, they think it is 'fairy tales' I thought so myself at one time. Jesus was some unreal character like in a history book to me. I was searching in all the wrong places for love and for truth and my search took me into the occult. I didn't embrace it as fully as TPW because it never made a whole lot of sense but I was there and if someone had gotten in my face with a "Fear God" t-shirt I may have reacted the same way. People out there fear everything already. Have you ever tried "Love God" on a t-shirt? Judy
Dean: Thank you for sharing that-I have found that most people have heard the Love message and are still in sin-the "Fear God" message draws them to me so as to explain the complete Gospel to them. jt: That's interesting, kind of like Halloween? I've never ever been drawn to fear pagan or otherwise. It is God's love shed abroad in my heart that makes me free. People may have heard a lot of talk about love but have they seen it demonstrated by believers toward each other and toward them? Dean: I could tell a sodomite that God loves them and it would be a lie. jt: No it would be the truth. Jesus died for sodomites, every one of them. Of course they will need to change, but then so do the rest of us. Sodomy is sin but so is anger, fear, covetousness, and all the sins of the flesh named in Gal 5:19 and people who do all those things don't inherit God's Kingdom either. While we were yet sinners Christ died for us, we can't comprehend such love. Dean: He (the sodomite) would of course thank me and continue on with his life style.-but all men should fear God even Christians. jt: True Dean; but it doesn't do any good to tell a Sodomite or a Pagan that God loves them if you are judging them in your own heart - they always know. God expects us to demonstrate His love. After all Jesus didn't come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.
