Nothing to say, yet
The speaker discusses the tendency for people to focus on the idea that "God is love" while neglecting the concept of God's wrath. They mention that Christianity often emphasizes God's love but fails to acknowledge the other side of God, which includes acts of wrath. The speaker believes that God is indeed love, but suggests that it is important to understand and acknowledge all aspects of God's character, rather than just focusing on love. They mention the example of God's angel slaughtering Assyrians in the Bible as an illustration of God's other side. Overall, the speaker emphasizes the importance of presenting God in His fullness, rather than only highlighting His love. And for the next quote, we have a quote here that says all sorts of people are fond of repeating the Christian statement that God is love. What are your thoughts? So for that phrase, I guess people like to repeat that phrase, that God is love and they tend to forget that God, about God's wrath as well. And I guess they also don't want to accept God's wrath because they're so into God's love and they just forget about that part. What are your thoughts? It's almost like a one-sided type of belief, but I think you're absolutely right. Most Christians are always pushing that God is love and all this, and God absolutely is love. We're not saying that He's not. God is pure love, but I feel like sometimes Christianity doesn't show the other side of God where God, you could say, pours out His wrath. And there's a lot of things that God does in the Bible that many even Christians don't understand why these things happen. For example, there's a, I believe it's 2 Kings, where God sends one of His angels to slaughter 185,000 Assyrians overnight, and I think that's kind of giving us a picture of God's other side, but we don't fully understand it yet. But to answer the question, I think God is absolutely love. He is the definition of love and He came to bring even more love, but I feel like we should also start showing God in His fullness versus just the love of God.
