(September 2, 2012 at 3:10 am)Godschild Wrote: For those who may not have read the other thread, in it I said that the only free will man has is to love God or not to love God, and outside of that all bets are off, simple really if one will search through the scriptures and find out what God says.

Isn't this the particular belief of a denomination that says the only choice we ever get in life is to accept God or not? The rest is predetermined.

If so, please explain how that works out? Look at me; because of my external circumstances that I cannot control due to no free will I have been led to exercise my only bit of free will (accept/reject God) and managed to pick wrongly and send myself to hell eventually. The silly thing about all of this is that God knew this from the beginning. What sort of joke is that?
