re: #18 Naso Tang

If I read you correctly, this entire study is bunk because the premise doesn’t exist; namely that there are believers tending towards one perspective or the other.

No, not at all. I have no idea where you got that from.

The churches always offer both aspects, the carrot and the stick. The believers may very much cleave to one or the other, even inside the same church. Even at different times of their life.

Not ignoring. Have you heard of the concept of dominance?

Have you heard of the concept of things not being black and white? Most churches emphasize both salvation and punishment. Some emphasize one much more than another. Most are somewhere in the middle.

Why do you think otherwise? What actual reason do you have?
