[ When told about the negitives of fire and brimstone preaching ]

I cannot disagree more wholeheartedly. I am saved today because a firebrand of a preacher preached that an unsaved sinners end is Hell.

Let me say that again: I am SAVED because a preacher preached HELL. Millions of others are saved because they realized their end was a certain hell.

Moreover, Jesus preached repentance and He preached HELL. The modern movements (filled with people who are no more saved than my television) want to feel good, so they are passing about this idea that we should not preach hell, we should not tell people they are sinners and we should not offend. This is a lie coming straight from the Devil himself. We absolutely must preach the WHOLE COUNSEL of the Word of God. That includes preaching about sin, about the sinners need for repentance and about the end of the unrepentant sinner: Hell.

In Jesus' own words:
"...Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire."

The word hell is used 23 times in the New Testament and 54 times in the entire Bible. The unrepentant sinner needs to know there is a consequence for his actions
