Quote:Christians are given the the great commission (in matthew chapter 28) and it tells us to spread the word, but not how. Those who learn and worship out of fear, teach fear.

Those who seek reward, teach to seek reward


Tacky isn't that perhaps THE great dichotomy of Christianity? The two paths to God; through penance or through love and forgiveness.

The Irish Catholicism I was taught emphasised man's sinful nature,the need for penance and the fear of hell. ( from age 7 )

Passionist priests I've known taught the compassion and forgiveness of God. They taught me God's love is unconditional. That there are no unforgiveable sins.That if sought,forgeness is always given through the infinite compasion of God.

Those views seem very different to me,yet both are quintesentially Christian.
