Never would the Lord use language nor encourage language like that to be used.
All this rhetoric is the world speaking and has nothing to do with hearing the council of the Lord!
The world uses coercion to get one to submit and to feel less than dirt!
People are in this state because they feel unworthy already the seperation is so great the void seems hopeless.
The Lord touches our hearts and minds with Faith, Hope and Charity, longs for us to take hold of His hand to lift our thoughts and feel His Love!

How gentle God's commands! How kind his precepts are! Come, cast your burdens on the Lord And trust his constant care.
Beneath his watchful eye, His Saints securely dwell; That hand which bears all nature up Shall guard his children well.
Why should this anxious load Press down your weary mind? Haste to your Heav'nly Father's throne And sweet refreshment find.
His goodness stands approved, Unchanged from day to day; I'll drop my burden at his feet And bear a song away.
You are absolutely correct. I almost cried when I saw how mean and disrespectful drstevej, OrthodoxPresbyterian and one or two others were toward tame.
I gather you are LDS, while I am Baptist. Although I severely disagree with your theology, I would like to offer you my sincerest apologies on behalf of my fellow Christians (presbyterian, etc.) for the behavior they have displayed here.
