this is fine, but frankly it's not a refutation of what i said at all.
my original statement was that Jesus spoke more about hell than
heaven, not that he spoke more about hell than any other subject.

certainly love is very im****tant. But my intent was to say that we do
not understand the greatness of his love until we understand the depth
of our condition and the condemnation we are under.

We sinned. we are separated from God by virtue of this fact because
the wages of sin is death.
IF you understand that, then you understand how great his love is in
providing salvation from our condition.

believe me, i'm not knocking love, but neither am i removing sin,
condemnation or judgment simply because they are unpleasant to talk
about. i'm not apologizing for it either.
Jesus loves us and we know that because he paid the penalty for our
sins and offers salvation to all who would call on his name and
repent.
If we are under no condemnation and there is no salvation then saying
God loves us is a nice sentiment, but not much else.
