It not about threats, it is about giving you clearly defined choices....

God has continually offered love to mankind and has been refused. He also, has told people what happens when they walk away from Him. And honey, He wrote the book on human behavior. He is the creator, whether you say so or not. Who are you to stand against the creator and snub your nose. He offers you His love and forgiveness and you spit in His face like a little know it all. What He then tells you is no threat its a promise. You just don't get it.By the way if you don't belong to God then you are the property of Satan, either by choice or default. To do nothing with the living God is to chose Satan.

God doesn't make threats. He states very plainly what he will and what he won't tolerate. He doesn't need to read a chapter on human behavior - He already knows how we behave and disbehave. He loves us unconditionally and is always forgiving. Why do you feel like He makes threats?

Well now the threat of hell certainly descent work with Atheist because we just know it is silly. But if someone were to stick a loaded gun at my head and tell me to worship Jesus I would be the first to fall on my knees and start praying. So yes certain threats certainly do work. xx

Well considering events in the Old Testament, like Noah's Flood, the seven plagues, Sodom and Gamorrah, I'd say God knows threats don't work, that just dooms us to punishment, don't it? Thus, the democrats got elected :P

god knows all about all the threats we unthinking humans use every day, but he also knows only too well about free will. how else do you think we are able to learn our lesson we are here for in this journey and lifetime. thats just it until we do the learning we are the ones who will keep coming back, not god.

God doesn't know, because he does not exist. However, the people who use his name to control others are very clever psychologists who use constant reinforcement of beliefs using alternating threats and promises of eternal reward. It's worked well for them so far, but more and more of us are waking up to it.

God do not threatened anyone and gave us the freedom to choose this day whom you will serve and other issues related to life as well as a freedom of choice.

imparting knowledge of ones future is not a threat. A gift is offered accept or don't accept. Just be informed of the future without the gift

You poor dear. God already knows what's going to happen before it does. What's the matter? Don't you have a bible?.....Or can't you read?

Actually He created humans, and their behaviour. He knows. I think PEOPLE threaten you on His behalf, not actually Him. He clearly loves you enough to give you the worlds easiest choice!
Bless your heart sister
