There's arguably just as much "structural enmity" between believers in Christ on this forum. There are endless "You're not a True Christian" arguments between Christians here.
It doesn't matter what god(s) you don't accept, as along as you don't accept them all!
It's the same thing with pretty much any aspect of life, whether it's politics, economic situations, medical advice, sports strategies ad infinitum.
Once we agree a course of action is necessary, we find it necessary to argue which course of action is necessary!

yes. The point I'm making it doesn't matter! People who believe and those
that do not all are sinners and can sin. Being a believer does not stop one
from acting bad towards other believers or non-believers! We are being
transformed, it is something we will be going through our whole lives while
we are here. Do not excuse bad actions!

Originally posted by KellyJayGod is angry, true enough. But it isn't Hell that God's grace is holding back, unless you are saying we are going to go through hell before it is done.
Actually God is angry, the only thing holding back Hell is God's grace. The
wrath of God is going to hit full force and those that receive it will not have
any place to go hide.

The great escape many Christians think they will have (rapture) will not take place the way they think. The Christians of this generation WILL experience a good chunk of Revelations.
What God's grace is holding back is Revelations.
We really don't want to go through it.
