TURN or BURN?

"TURN or BURN", the passionate, well-meaning evangelist screams at the top of his/her voice. 

In other words, fear is the tool that is used to connect a person to God. 

But the scripture says, "perfect love casts out fear" (1 Jn 4:18). 

Perfect love is God (1 Jn 4:8). 

So, to me, it is common sense to conclude that God will not scare a person into accepting him. Love will not coerce and will not be coerced. 

Since God is love and he created us in his own image, and if a loving human being would never want to see someone being roasted forever and ever, why would we assume that God would allow that to his creation?

Are we saying that Adam's offense is greater than Jesus' redemptive work on the cross? (see Romans 5:18)

Please do not receive my words blindly. This is merely a gentle nudge to seek. You have nothing to lose.

Truth can withstand any amount of scrutiny.
