GourmetDan - You misunderstand me. The church should talk about sin, and God’s judgment, Hell, repentance, and redemption. Asking them not to would be like asking a Doctor not to talk about sickness. A church that doesn’t, goes down the path of accepting sin, and conforming to the World’s standards not God’s. We’ve seen that over and over in some of our nations well established denominations. We’ve seen that in scripture in the letters John wrote to the churches. I get that. But when the church talks about sin, it should do so with a broken heart, and with the compassion shown by Jesus to the Samaritan woman, the adulteress, the thief who died next to him. With complete understanding of the struggle these people are going through and the deep pit they are in. The same struggles we had, for we are all sinners and fall short. When we become so self-righteous is when we forget that. ….. When we stop remembering we are sinners saved by grace, we stop loving people who are sinners needing grace.
