This is how much God loves us, by threatening us?

A person who would say this has no respect for human life whatsoever. I am not surprised at catholics however they seem to enjoy trying to pressure people into only believing what they want them to believe.

No, God makes the Laws. You don't listen and disobey them.
Then you have consequences for your behavior.
God never interferes in your free will. He never puts a gun to your head.
Just because the words threaten you. What did Jesus say.
God Loves you no matter what and he is always there waiting for you to come back into his arms. I know what man has written. Study what Jesus said about the Love of God. But remember, God did set up universal laws. Like the ten commandments. Don't say he didn't warn you when you mess up and have to pay the price. Just like going to jail.
Same thing. You knew better but you did it anyhow. If you want to know God, think the best not the worst.

a million. The Bible can inform you what God thinks of gay acts: a million Cor. 6:9, Romans a million:26-27, Genesis a million:28, and so on. 2. God does not have a situation with gay human beings. He has a situation with gay intercourse. each and every person conflict with sinful needs. the actuality that homosexuals call their needs organic is a situation for God. and finally, God's purpose is to be God. he's acceptable and loving, and in case you extremely look for Him, he will make Himself usual to you in new and effectual techniques. God can substitute you from the interior out, in case you enable Him. yet once you purely say that what you're is nice, there is not plenty God can do with that.

That is NOT the SPIRIT, that is just some people. One shouldn't lump certain people into one sterotype, if ya do then you going the same thing that those that you oppose do.
No I am not appoving of THAT type of behavior by saying this to you. Hheheee actually I said the same to a Christian that was doing something similar to atheists. When you see/experience ickie things like you described, its hard NOT to go on the 'war path'.
Its a biblical concept, but also buddist---what a person says and does is a manifestation of what is in abundance within their heart at that moment.
People that kill or curse to hell those that are DIFFERENT, in actuality have a LIMITED god. That type of god is not everywhere in everything. People like that are trying DESPARATELY to make their beliefs/opinions 'TRUTH" by trying to eliminate any contrary concept.
In many ways, people like that NEED others that they can demean so they can FEEL SELF RIGHTEOUS, creating a WE v. THEM mentality.
Behavior like THAT should be opposed and fought against, but my doing the same things-attacking the same way---are you any 'better' then they are?

God does not go around threatening people with guns and violence, people do. We all have a sin nature about us. Without God, anyone is capable of anything at any time. Only God is stable. Those who follow Him become like Him because His love is in their hearts. Those who live without Him, they are the ones who threaten. They may even call themselves "christian".

God didnt say or do these things, god dosent threaten, those threats you speak of where written by "men" who wished to frighten people into conforming to "religious ideas" based upon the wants of other men to control the masses.
Religion is a control concept, meant soley for the purpose of putting someone in a position of power, They use "God" as a basis for there "religion's" so that people are more likley to follow the "laws" or "rules set forth by those who are in power.
Think of the bible as sort of a Guidline based on some truth, But edited by men who wished to capitalize on "Gods word" they would leave just enough truth so that people would know that god exsist's but they would mix in there own brand of "truth" In Gods "name" and the masses have come to believe even the falshoods of the bible.

There's no mention of God wielding a gun in the Bible. But no, this is not what a loving God would do.
God appears to and speaks to people throughout the Bible. If he did this today, we'd all be believers. They didn't need faith at all, they knew he was real. Is it fair that we go to hell because he's not as active today as then?

Drive the speed limit or get a ticket.
Be on time to work or lose your job.
Do your job or not get a paycheck.
Pay your bills or don't have anything.
Be nice to others or get treated like dirt.
Life is nothing but rules made up by man.
G_D only made 10 rules. Which is the easier path? 10 rules or thousands, and those thousands of rules change daily almost. G_Ds rules haven't changed for thousands of years.
I choose the easier road.

omg.. why is everyone always talking about God's rath.. that's not the point of heaven. He's not trying to scare you into loving Him, He just informs you [incase you wanted to know] where you're going IF YOU DON'T except Him. the entire other part of the bible teaches about how simple it is to not even have to worry about it. people are all crying because the bible says not to scrue people outside of marriage or get drunk or kill people.. and they're like ''well thats too much fun i dont want to believe in a God that tells me that i can't do that'' well tough cookie because that's just the way it is whether you believe in Him or not. if you don't believe in Him then just dont. i've seen you on here before asking questions trying to make Christians feel like sh*t because that's how some people really do view God when thats not the case in the least! He loved you so much that He sent His son to DIE for YOU! I kno that you've heard it before and you just don't want accept it, when that's all you have to do to be in heaven, but don't do it for that reason, do it because you want to dedicate your life to the one that died to save you.. thats the point. you wouldn't feel like you owed your life to the person that saved you?

God's not threatening anyone. It's the same principle as obey the law and all is fine. Break the law, it cost you money, or time in jail or prison, or it cost you both time in jail or prison and money. Obey the Bible and live happily ever after, or go to hell in sin.
