So, by your own admission, Jesus is the solution to God's own problems. not ours.

Making pithy internet posts takes much less time than a lifetime of dedicated spiritual slavery.

I'm sorry, I'm not well-versed in logically-void nonsense.

You still can't answer the 'why' question. Please don't bother with "well, you have that choice" or "some don't". I'm asking, why should anybody want this kind of 'relationship'.

If you can't answer that, then your own faith has no basis.

I've answered this question several times now. We seek God to Love Him. Why would we want to love Him? Because we were designed to do so. Does that mean we all will? No, we have been given this life to choose whether or not to love Him. People substitute everything this world offers to replace the love of God, some are sucessful, but the vast majority can only ever to hope to find a tempory happiness, True Joy will allude them for their whole exsistance, save the one moment at their judgement when Christ shows them what they were meant for.. The knoweledge and subsequent loss of that love is what make eternal seperation akin to fire and brimestone.

I stopped fearing burning in Hell along time ago, but I can not fathom loosing the Love I know God offers us. That is why I ask if The descriptions of Heaven and Hell were somehow changed and Heaven was a firey pit, but God lived there, and Hell was what we know to be Heaven, but no God.. Would you still want to goto Heaven? (The Firey pit just to be with God?)

I did not ask this question for all of you to line up to choose Hell/Heaven without God. I know most of you want that anyway. What I am trying to illustrate is the bond or the want and desire for God's love and the extreme anyone seeking Heaven should be willing to endure to have it.

So short answer why would we seek God? Love.
