We choose this love because we do not want to go to hell. Call this fear if you choose, I want argue against it. What happens to those who actually seek this love and grow in it, we come into a living relationship with God and desire to leave sin behind us as much as possible. For those who do not seek this love, well, they should be terrified of the punishment they are building for their eternity, it will be a hell beyond belief until they have to face God and then live eternally the hell they have made for themselves, the hell they live is their's and their's alone. They make it and then will live it.(January 22, 2016 at 9:48 am)Drich Wrote: Didn't read the link did you? The link represents 'the problem of evil' and how it has been argued for literally thousands of years! I don't have to argue with you because you are the one who literally arguing with how this paradox is accepted and defined.
We are slaves to either God or sin, their is no free will either.
So why do I want to worship God? I do not want to be bound/be a slave to sin.
Nonsense, you don't want to fry in hell. That's all the Christian belief system is, the fear of punishment.

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.
