My problem with what you're saying is that YOU can't make a blanket statement on what will or will not lead everyone to repentance. How do you know that God won't use the message of eternal separation from Him to lead someone to Himself. Just because you think it wont means nothing at all. The message of "love everything, and God is only love", may not lead certain people to repentance either. As was stated earlier Jesus spoke of Hell more than anyone, why is that? What do we need to be "saved" from anyway? As far as the rest of your points I can agree with them, but the whole "The Holy Spirit does not use fear of hell to lead men into repentance", I think is above our "pay grade" to know honestly.
Romans 2.4
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?
Proverbs 16.6
[SUP]6 [/SUP]By lovingkindness and truth iniquity is atoned for,
And by the fear of the Lord one keeps away from evil.<<<<<<<<<A person cannot fear the Lord until they have the wisdom of the Lord
My comments are not above the pay grade of the whole counsel of the word of God...
I have made it very clear that I believe there is a hell to shun and a heaven to gain.....
The Fear of the Lord has zero to do with fearing and being terrified and afraid of him because he can send you to hell...
if you have that kind of struggle going on in your brain and spirit then you need to.............GET SAVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
