Now since sin has entered the world and God will not walk in the presence of sin we must know Him through faith, this is another price humanity paid for the original sin.
So god will send us to hell for not believing in him, but because of what Adam and Eve did, he refuses to show any proof that he exists? Do you honestly think this is consistent with the concept of an omniscient deity, or are you just regurgitating what you've been told without putting a moment's thought into it?
This is consistent with the righteous God of creation and salvation, it's consistent with what I've learned studying scriptures, if you would study them this would not have to be explained to you whether you believe or not, it's right there in the Bible.
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.
