Yes, I would. Dannymac Send a noteboard - 10/11/2009 06:37:35 PM
The Salvation message is hope. Would you ever look at a grieving family of a non-believer and tell them they have no hope of seeing their loved one again? Do you think Jesus would tell them that?

The expanded context of the quote does not change the message... rather it intensifies it. It is curious to me that where I talk about hope and the overwhelming love of Christ, you hear me talking about license to do whatever we want. As if people who didn't do what you've done would somehow be getting off easy if God loved them, too.

You have always been far too interested in setting the parameters of who is in and who is out. Judgement belongs to God. So does Salvation. The calling of Christians is to love those around them, to mirror the servant attitude of Christ. We are not the judges, we are among the accused.
