It's not a threat to say "the sun is warm" and it's not a threat to warn people that belief in the Jesus is necessary to have sins forgiven.

Its grossly unchristlike. You show me where Jesus used fear and threats of punishment to get people to believe in him like you just did.

Maybe you can get a refund from whoever was supposed to teach you to think?

Now I know Jesus would never have said that. 10 Hail Mary's to atone for your sins

John 3:18, but it’s more like a fact then a threat, like “water is wet”.

I asked for Jesus saying this not John. Jesus' last quote is John 3:15

Actually he did, but not from himself.

Surely claiming that people are born in sin and require Jebus to forgive that inherited sin is coercion propaganda to attempt to gain followers. I reject the premise that projecting sin on people can in any way be seen as a positive action. Nor is it the same context as stating a fact such as 'the sun is warm', as this is both provable and void of implications, whereas to imply sin is to declare that not only is the sun warm but it's your fault.

Fine, it's like explaining a nuclear bomb to bushmen.
