Of course God is love...scripture says so in 1 John 4:8, so what are we to think?
Did God love Adam and Eve when he booted them from the Garden? Did he love Moses when he forbade him to enter the promised land? Did he love the 23,000 Israelite's he destroyed for worshiping the golden calf?
There's no scripture that says, "God hates the sin but loves the sinner"...even if he does, that doesn't mean sinners won't be punished.
If God punished Adam, Eve and Moses for one infraction, do you think he will let today's sinners go unpunished?
The "church" would like you to think so...but scripture is very clear, "The unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9)
Sin is not evil...it's unrighteousness; choosing to do wrong; so maybe it would be easier for you to understand if it read, "Sinners shall not inherit the kingdom of God."
Let me clarify, "unrepentant" sinners. And don't buy into the lie that all your sins past present and future are forgiven...without "repentance" there is no forgiveness for sin.
Don't let the myths, lies and misconceptions preached today keep you out of the kingdom.
Do Not Be Deceived:
Satan is transformed into an angel of light, so is it no great thing if his minsters are transformed as ministers of righteousness" (2 Corinthians 11:14-15)
Be careful whom you choose to follow. Just because everyone believes something is true, doesn't make it truth...without the Spirit of Truth, you will be easily deceived.
Until you're reborn Spiritually...nothing else matters.
