The main point I was making is that Jesus gave strong warnings about hell, and Paul warned that sin will keep you out of God's Kingdom, but we are told by the modern church you shouldn't use fear as a motivation to reach people, but use all love of Jesus messages, and "things" preachers that name individual sins are called legalists. How many ministers today even speak of hell?

... and yet God said to worship Him with fear and trembling. if someone has been in Gods presence as i have been then you know how great, how awesome He is. and how you do tremble. and i suspect i only got a taste as others in the bible fell down as a dead man in His presence.
there is no shortage of false teachings today. even in churches that have "sound doctrine"

Speaking of hell is part of the truth, and it should not be omitted.
Hell is scaring for unbelievers, if unbelievers do not get the reality of hell what they will think?!
They must know the truth. Hell is real, it is not a cool place, and if people do not repent they will all go to there.
"It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." - Hebrews 10:31
