Christians, if Jesus Did Not Come to Condemn the World, Than Why Are People Being Threatened With Condemnation?

Question by follower_of_christ36: Christians, If Jesus did not come to condemn the world, than why are people being threatened with condemnation?
I use to work with drug addicts and alcoholics, and one of the hardest thing I ever had to do, was put someone out of the program because they went back to using.
And these guys, I have given them many of breaks before letting them know they had to go.
I would try to find a hospital or a rehab clinic that would work with these guys. But I would never ever leave them without trying to help.

We all have a addiction, whether it be drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, sex, homosexuality, gambling, lying, adultery, stealing, one who is always being sarcasm, or even pornography. It’s an addiction (sin) that we should not be so fast to judge and condemn people for.

It’s so easy to tell someone, hey if you don’t repent you are going to hell for your sins. But let’s be honest, Jesus never said that. Like he told the man he told at the well to pick up your bed and walk, than later when he saw the man, he said Go and sin no more or something worse may happen. But he never told the man that he was going to hell if he continue to sin.
The only time Jesus actually talked about hell in the way of people, was when he was asking a question.
Matthew 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
In the twelve years that I have been out here with the people. I have never threaten anyone about going to hell. I guess because with me, I did some dirt in my life time that I thank God I had changed from. But it took time for me to change and it didn’t happen over night. So I know if it took time for me to change, It will take time for others to change as well. If we really want that change, we will change, but it does take time. God knows if someone wants to change or not. You may fool people, but we can’t fool God at all.
Yes people need to know about hell, but not in a way to say, this is where you will be going if you don’t do this and if you don’t that NOW.

And the one thing that Jesus never did was call everyone a sinner. He saw two side of the coin. Not just one. I believe if Jesus would have called the people he came for sinners and threaten them with hell’s fire if they didn’t repent, they would have never followed him. I know I wouldn’t have.
