There plenty of times in the Bible where Christ was loving and forgiving, but of course you need to focus on the judgement part, sad really. I know you don’t care, that is fine, but it certainly doesn’t sound like you have God in your heart. To me you sound like one of those intense Southern Baptist I grew up around.
Wow, talk about prejudicial.
Christ was loving and forgiving to those who were humble and poor in spirit to accept His words as the truth.
And He was as hard-headed and stubborn to those who refused to listen to Him despite the obvious demonstrations of His authority. That’s who our King and Savior is, He is as soft-hearted as He is hard-headed. His words were as hard as diamonds to those who refused to believe in Him.
That’s the problem with this trend of soft sentimentality, people forget that Christ is also the same God and Lord of the Universe, holy and sovereign, who in Christ said in no uncertain terms:
"You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

I don’t know if your “opinion” is false or not and neither do you, it is simply what you believe to be the truth. Maybe it is, but we certainly don’t have all the truth God is going to share with us. If you think you know everything about the truth then you would be God.
A typical strawman and an ad-hominum. I never said that I have “all the truth”. We DO have what has been revealed by Christ, which is sufficient in regards to the subject of this thread.
My so-called (by you)“opinion” is not my opinion but
is the teaching of holy mother Church.
And the Church teaches the truth of God, it has that authority.
So yes what the Church teaches is absolutely true, no ambiguity about it.
Any opinion that contradicts the Church is necessarily and objectively false. The Church is not protestantism were believers can just decide for themselves what to believe and what to ignore.
shelby sun:
It sounds like you feel the needs to know everything, maybe out of fear, control, to feel superior.
Yes, you would think that, wouldn’t you?
Since you have no real argument, you just attack them personally. Casting aspersions where you will and attacking my motives and faith.
Very “Christ-like” indeed.
shelby sun:
Whatever it is, it does make you sound like you have God in your heart only in your head and words. You won’t draw many people in sounding as you do.
I’ll draw those who have humility and recognize the truth.
Those who are more bent on their own subjective views and opinions over and against the truth will act pretty much like you have.
Now do you have anything useful to contribute to the debate at hand or are you just going to continue to throw one red herring after another in attempting to hijack this thread?
