So I guess we are at a conclusion.
There's just one thing I'd like to mention though, GC. I didn't choose to walk away, I just couldn't believe anymore. I never expected that to happen. This was a big thing in my psyche when it happened.
I mean can you make yourself believe in the Tooth Fairy? You can't, right? That's where I'm stuck at. It was all a big accident. Completely unintentional.
It just doesn't make sense to me that the loving God I was taught about growing up would doom me to Hell because I just came to a conclusion, that for me, was impossible to avoid once I reached a certain point. I didn't have a choice at all.
But anyway. Thanks for humoring me. It's nice to discuss these things without everyone getting upset. I grow more and more tired of doing that.
I'm tired of it also, and would enjoy more of this type of discussion, sorry to have disappointed you, what point were you going to make. You see I can't support free will without going all the way, just because one chose to follow Christ does not mean one can not change their mind and choose not to.
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.
