"Impostor" is the only remaining conclusion.
I hope you are not offended by my direct speech here, but this entire paragraph is false doctrine. The idea that judgment that drives people away is an Imposter and not of God is clearly unbiblical. Such an idea comes from a last days delusion that cannot endure sound doctrine but instead seeks to give pleasure to itching ears. The role of judgment is to separate the wicked from the righteous. It is polarizing. This is why Jesus said: Matthew 10:34-36 (34) Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. (35) For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. (36) And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. In these latter days, the spirit of Elijah comes, and it is most manifested in the two witnesses of Rev. 11. Revelation 11:5-7 (5) And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. (6) These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. (7) And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. Clearly these two witnesses are not Imposters. Their judgment is of God, but it is not a redeeming judgment of grace that calls everyone to join a particular Jesus club. The truth is that the days are rapidly approaching when grace will be taken from the earth. The days are coming when men will cry out to God for salvation, but God will not answer them nor deliver them.
