So This is the Good News
Thanks to Mike Williams website for the following observation.......
So this is the "Good News"...
An angry God coming any day now to destroy this sin-infested planet?
A "loving" Father in heaven watching our every move and weighing every thought, ready to dole out much needed chastisement?
Standards of behavior impossible to perform forcing facades, judgmental attitudes, negative self-esteem, and strained relationships.
Fear and uncertainty about loved ones and friends doomed to an eternal tormented existence in hell.
Daily feelings of shame and guilt robbing peace and joy, leading to emotional instability and culminating in mental illness.
"Us versus Them" mentality.
And on and on and on . . . they call this good news? Sounds more like "evil" news to me.
Now I understand why many non-Christians want no part of this gospel.

I've had so much trouble with Blogger that Bruce is building me a website. I just gave up. NOW, it seems to be working OK. But I'm tired of never knowing if it is going to work.
Merry Christmas to you too, Geo. Be safe....
Doesn't sound very fun at all to me!
Merry Christmas my brother.Fourty years have gone by fast.

Yep- you hit that nail on the head. Often, we fall victim to 'Bad News Religion'. The Gospel is rest, relationship, peace, love and forgiveness, but there are many Christians who prefer guilt, shame, condemnation and rule-keeping. People who already feel bad about themselves are drawn to this negative kind of religion because they cannot see they are loved and deserve better...
