Frederick,

<< Compelling others through claims is antithetical to the ONE (1) free river of our Lord's truth ... >>

2 Cor 5:20-21
Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were PLEADING THROUGH US: WE IMPLORE YOU on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. (NKJ)

Look at Paul, the Apostles, the Prophets, and Jesus. They gave their lives to compel others to receive the grace offered through faith in Jesus Christ.

<< our Lord's truth which is manifested in his unconditional love for all of mankind >>

Yes, God so loved the world that He sent His Son to die on the cross to offer each one of us a means of salvation. (John 3:16)

John 1:12
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: (NKJ)

The sad truth clearly taught in Scripture is that only those compelled to receive Jesus Christ as Savior will go to heaven. God allows all others to reject Him and to go to hell. Hence, my desire to compel people to examine the Truths in the Holy Bible and to receive forgiveness for their sins. "Unconditional love" won't do them much good in hell.

<< Dance, smile, laugh, sing and play just like the little children we all are in the center of our divine souls which we have all been blessed to receive from our Father in heaven who I know as Jesus Christ Lord. >>

Prov 14:12
There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. (NKJ)

Heb 2:1-3
Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.
For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward,
how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, (NKJ)
