precisely, if thats the case, i shall willingly go to hell. what
is heaven when you live with someone youll never believe in?
to be fair to this unknown figure called 'god', it is his
followers (some of them) tainting his name, blackmailing known non
followers that we will burn in hell.
anyone watched the show 'left behind' before? my friend showed
it to be years back, and that movie is a classic example of threat.
tapping on human weaknesses, those who are afraid of suffering that
'tribulation'.
technically, from what they believe, it's not blackmailing. They
perceive a dichotomy and they're telling you about it. Taken from
another perspective, they are as the topic suggests, "uneasy" about
non Christians going to hell, and so out of a good heart, warn
others about it. In that case, you can fault their message but you
can't fault their intentions.
In any case, i've not come across anyone who has come to believe
because of their fears of hell or wanting to avoid hell. I would
think there's a very low success rate with this way of "preaching",
if not, it definitely won't be helping to make true converts. The
gospel is not about hell but about how Christ has made atonement
for the penalty of sins.
