WE make decisions, but according to Chrisitan belief, we stand in judgement of
those decisions.
There are consequences and rewards to all of life's decisions! And it does not matter what your belief is in. That is an absolute.!! Something everyone can count on always.
We also stand in judgment of decisions we make against the city, state, and Fed. govt! There is not a country or principality in the universe in which we are free to make decisions that will not have consequences or rewards.

Mark it is apparent that you are not able to understand that dimension of God. If you gave God as much time reading His word, and letting His Holy Spirit minister to you, as you do attribituting torture and blame to Him, I think you would have a greater awareness of His grace and love for all mankind. You would also have a better grasp on the sadness and disappointment that God harbors as a result of mankind's choices.

Why do you assume that any soul is beyond God's porotection?
I do not.
But I ask you. Why do assume that it is the job of God to take from a person their own free will? Why do you assume that it is the job of God to supernaturally insert His own will upon the hearts of everyone?
Free will Mark is the basis of all existence. God even allows you Mark to make your own choice. You choose not to believe that Jesus Christ is God Himself, and He allows you to choose that.
Mark if you were to suddenly post here that "now I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord of Lord and King of Kings" because God took your own free will and replaced it with His, you'd be a phoney! And I for one would want nothing to do with you. You would be unpredictable and totally unreliable. A wishy, washy, wimp of a robot is all that you would amount to.
Mark I did not misunderstand your question as it related to the state of the soul after death. That is why I asked you, if you understood why God in all His Love and grace provided for the 1,000 yr. reign of Christ.! This was another question you chose not to answer.
So be it.
Let it be known that!
God will indeed circumcise the hearts of those who are willing!
Also let it be known that!
God does not torture!
Also:
God does not manipulate people!...People manipulate people! That is why we can always trust God.
Ps 18:30
30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
Sincerely,
Shalom...><> |
