    There is a MASSIVE problem with some modern teaching about God's love, when it refuses to face up to the fact that there are certain things God hates and will never tolerate. Psalm 2 is a good example. That Psalm is never quoted by those who have a namby-pamby, slushy, sentimental god who will accept everybody into Heaven. Not so! Heaven is de-barred to many people who will "not repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts" - Revelation 9:20-21 And that stubborn refusal persists even after God had struck them with various plagues (just as with the ten plagues on ancient Egypt).

    Jesus came to us, in love, to open up Heaven to sinners, but only to those who would be 'washed in the blood of the Lamb' (Rev 7:14) by putting their faith in what He achieved on their behalf. Nobody with sin remaining can enter Heaven. Huge numbers will never see Heaven because they think lightly of sin. The wrath of God remains on them (Rev 6:16 & 19:15).

    The only balanced teaching that is biblical combines the amazing love of God for sinners with the warning that those who refuse to turn to Christ will die in their sin and then have to face judgment - John 8:24 & Heb 9:27-28. And Jesus spoke that warning to very religious people! We dare not dilute the biblical gospel message. We can only flee to Christ, for there is no righteousness in ourselves.

    christianity is not the only religion throughout history to offer animal sacrifice as an appeasement to a god(s)...at least pick a religion with a more unique philosophy...perhaps buddhism?...there all equally ridiculous one way or another.

    Yes.

    It teaches that God loves but never mentions that God hates things you do.

    Luke 19:27 "And as for those enemies of mine who did not want me to be their king--bring them in and execute them right here in front of me"

    John 15:6 "If a man not abide in me he is cast forth as a branch, and is whithered. And men gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned".

    Matthew 10:21 "And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father to child, and children shall rise up against their parents and cause them to be put to death".

    Hades was a place the Jews believed everyone went to, good or bad. Jesus believed in it as well as He states in Luke 16, the story of the rich man and Lazarus.

    In it Jesus does not describe an eternal hell. The teaching on hell is not clear. The teaching that God is love is and love would never burn anyone eternally in hell. Christians must be careful not to make God into a villain which He is not.

    Mark 16:15-17 Says:

    "And Jesus said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

    He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."

    Many don't like God's terms, but that doesn't change them.

    THere are no modern teachings about God's love. It's all "repent or go to Hell" these days.

    No, the problem is more to do with your gullibility and grip on reality.

    How nice that you've judged yourself worthy. And yet John the Baptist didn't.

    Mark 1:7 And this was his message: “After me comes the one more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie."
