Does God Shy Away from Judgment?

Here is a quote from a national New show: MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell said last week on his program: "The Book of Revelation is a work of fiction describing how a truly vicious God would bring about the end of the world. No half-smart religious person actually believes the Book of Revelation. They are certain that their God would never turn into a malicious torturer and mass murderer beyond Hitler's wildest dreams." 

Oh really, it is fascinating that people have this issue with God citing Him for being too cruel, or question His power and decision to punish anyone in an eternal hell.   Many pastors and Christian authors today love to write about the love and mercy of God, but fail to mention He also deals with sin, judgement, and eternal punishment. (they probably don't write about these things, because they just don't attract book sales) 

Yet, is it fair to worship only the God of love?  After all, the God who sacrificed His Son on the Cross is the same God who killed women and children in the great flood in Genesis.  It's the same God who told Israel not to spare any of the people groups as it was conquering the land in the Book of Exodus.  Most Christians who only beat the love of God drum forget about the wrath of the lamb of Revelation 6:16

16calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb," Christians who do read and believe in the prophecies in the Book of Revelation realize that after Revelation chapter five, all the destruction that comes upon the face of the earth is orchestrated by the same Lamb of God we associate with as  the Savior of the world.  So come on, let's be honest, you can't have the love side of God without the judgment side of God. Even Jesus told us that we should fear the one who had the power over eternal punishment.  Matthew 10:28  28And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. (there's that place mentioned again, that some pastor/authors think doesn't exit) So what we have today is a spirit of denial, a spirit of anti-christ that wants to deconstruct God into our own image of a nice guy, with a big heart.  This kind of deconstruction has been happening for some time, and will continue to happen, because the enemy of our soul knows his time is short.  I recommend for those of you who aren't afraid to hear the truth to listen to some truth telling from a reliable source.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaPCxDtUZXo&feature=youtube_gdata_player Until next time....K
