Exactly...i want you to know that you're dealing with a partial strawman. if you want to claim that your argument fits all of christianity...then it's a false premise.

Revelations? The judgement in Mark? Matthew's judgement, too. Acts has a few smitings, too.
Edit...
i should say...i don't believe you can separate the judgement and the mercy. in God's involvement in our lives, that which is not holy is brought to judgement. this may hurt a bit...but it is the healing we need.
