not sure why it would so concern you if you don't believe such prophecies to begin with.
The Bible was written to be relatable by people. Throughout are common experiences that people today might experience, but when stuff like what Ghost is established as the forefront of Christianity, then it estranges people from God, who calls humans to be in community with Him.
As I said before. Because you A) purposely set yourself at odds with non-believers, which is
contrary to God's calling, B) placed the Christian community in a light of confrontation, judgement, and indifference to others' concern, again,
contrary to God's calling, and C), made God less relatable to non-believers. You're being counter-productive.
even if it is "fearmongering", is that such a bad thing? should citizens in europe have simply ignored air raid sirens because they were a form of fearmongering? or should you dislike EBS alerts/amber alerts because they are a form of fearmongering? or should you not listen to the weather channel whenever they say there's a huge storm heading your way because that's fearmongering? SMH.
No, because that is a fear of swift and complete annihilation. This is an issue of how you represent God. Last I checked, God isn't confrontational, doesn't use fear throughout the gospels, but proclaimed good news and established the summary of the law as "love your neighbor as yourself."
