The God of Scripture does not use compulsion or coercion. Love is the agent that He uses to expel sin and the desire for sin from the heart.
That means that God literally loves the hell out of us.
David Asscherick
And I am so sorry if anyone has taught or shown you differently.
#reminder#me myself & i#david asscherick#john 14:15 comes to mind#my high school pastor put it into a perspective that my family would have never taught#because they are human & just as flawed as the next person#manipulation completely contradicts free will & choice#He has given us so much power & simply asks for love in return#to treat others as we would be treated#to love Him#His image has been so distorted over the generations#hate & the whole mindset of 'we're right they're wrong' is rampant#even within the church i grew up in#which is why i can't have wholesome religious conversations with 95% of them#which is why i feel so freaking isolated#but despite everything I have done & will continue to do#He loves me & would get right back up on that cross for me#and even if it was only for me#i swear some of the best preachers are the converts#not the ones who have a 'legacy' within the denomination
