The big problem is that nearly everyone, even most people who call themselves Christian, see God bring love as being the gospel. Any suggestion that things are actually more complex than that are seen as heresy.

For that reason alone we should be careful not to buy into, or even appear to buy into such a one dimensional view of God. In doing so most Christian denominations will see us as being at best small minded killjoys.
