Hi Mark (from Bob),

I find two points especially interesting in your argument.

1. You continually refer to your vision of God and the plan you have
superimposed on Him as the noblest and highest path.

First of all, I don't believe that for all to be saved even if they were at complete war with God all our lives is the highest and noblest path. Oddly enough, I don't think my opinion counts for a hill of beans, only God's Word. Mans opinion is formulated by what we can understand which is certainly a VERY small fraction of all there is to know and understand. I don't think with our very small minds and perception we can define the highest and noblest path without Gods help. After all He is the Highest and Noblest.

2. You believe that all will be saved regardless of whether we serve,
honor, ignore or hate God.

This implies that God has no justice system at all. If we are all going to heaven anyway, why are we all subject to this world of deception, hatred and violence. What is the purpose of our lives here?

I'll speak to you soon.

Bob
