Of course, in the New Testament you have the issue of the violent, bloody crucifixion of Jesus Christ on the cross. There were some feminists at the Reimagining Conferences who suggested that this action was divine child abuse. If you are to be successful, you must be sensitive to the gentleness of people today. This blood and gore message is simply not good business. You must, of course, emphasize forgiveness.
Forgiveness is popular and therapeutic.
To forgive is an important plank in good psychology. God forgives us because He is nice, and we should be nice, as God is nice and forgive other people. As a result of this adjustment in your proclamation, people will like God. Consequently, they will also like you and come to your churches. And you will be successful.
