GIVE ME MY DAILY BREAD

1 John 4:18-19

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us.

Then why did Christians use fear of death, punishment and murder to non-Christians to deliver a message of Love?

I’m obviously no theologian, so I’m unqualified to answer this, but the Church, IMO, did a whole lot in the name of God that was cruel and unjust.

I feel like my own feelings toward the church have really grown positively just in the 10 years that I’ve spent at my current church.

If you’ve ready any of my comments recently I always acknowledge the negative feelings that people have had build through the years.
