I do believe He is and He is mine. But I also believe the love of God does not condemn any.
It does however demonstrate the exclusive and judgmental tactics of fundamentalists.
OhDear

OhDear | Amen to that, OhDear.
In our lives, haven't we all come across street preachers who would preach the same message that we are all doomed if we don't follow Jesus?

It was all hellfire and damnation, nothing positive was ever preached, just how bad things would be for you if you weren't 'saved'.
Somehow, I don't think that's what Jesus had in mind.... | |

Level up: 44%, 166 Points needed | | It's called the logical fallacy of the false delimma.
In other words, posisting that there are only two (or in this case, three) choices, when, in fact, there are others.
