God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

I did not say people here did not help others, you're trying to put words in my mouth. I was talking about people in general. I will say that those who had responded to this thread before I did showed a lack of anything resembling care. GC

You want t work with an assumption that God wouldn't have anything to work with but His desire, God answers this question in the NT by saying He desires no one to enter eternal punishment. What if everyone doesn't want to be saved, this forum is full of that type of people. Is it fair to them for God to drag them into heaven kicking and screaming, He would be putting them in an eternal punishment by doing so, He has a place reserved for those who do not want to be with Him. God's haven will be a place of eternal happiness, with people who do not want to be there it wouldn't be the place He promises. Being saved can't be God's choice, his desire yes, being saved must be a commitment of a persons heart. Parents may have wanted their child to be something the child's heart wasn't into, so the child became what it desired, if the child had gone the way the parents desired the child wouldn't have been happy. So why should God force someone into salvation if that person doesn't want it. The question you should ask the atheist here, do they want God to save them so they can spend eternity with Him, hopefully they will be honest. GC

Okay. Quote:He has a place reserved for those who do not want to be with Him. And isn't this place also supposed to be eternal punishment?

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence. |
