It would seem; as the old saying goes that you wouldn't have to be the sharpest tool in the shed to comprehend that God's love is something we should seek Scripture on. Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality. - Lewis Carroll (one of 21 quotes on the Fearless Motivation cite). That quote fairly well sums up the attitude of the world; and the whole host of sickening quotes that comes up is too much for me to handle at present. I suppose there is some merit to the woeful illiteracy of our youth today if they don't hold up some of these spurious humanistic philosophies today. Just for the record; nothing personal about any particular site but I had to quote the source.
Anyhoo; those in the worldly churches attempt to cobble together this same sort of humanistic God of their own imagination in regard to their own self fulfilling prophecy of who Christ really was. Amateurs like to begin cherry picking things that sound pleasant to their ears; such as the Sermon on the Mount and not the more abrasive verbage our Lord had for hypocrites in particular. Come as you are is taken to mean that we can at best remain infants in the faith and at worst reprobates wearing sheepskins. Sorry I don't know how to sugarcoat this.
The concept of man being basically good still is the same issue as before that Satan has repackaged. Why take the time for fancy poetic stanzas or progressive music when it can all be dumbed down? That same idea goes to scripture reading which seems available to hurl accusations when needed against those who would dare rock the boat on what love really is. But it isn't useful for those who forget who they are in the mirror ( James 1:23-25).
Again the idea that God disciplines His own isn't in the minds of these men. Rather than looking at the tidal destruction of the past generations from "free love" men continue to think the God of the NT is different than of the Old.
