Rahul Wrote:So you agree that God invented Hell. That he thought it up and created it. That he decided that souls would be immortal. That God himself decided that if you didn't happen to follow his path, or we can't figure out which is the correct path, or we just consider it unreliable like all other religions, that our eternal souls will burn in eternal agony forever?
God did not invent hell. Satan's actions demanded a punishment, for him, the heavenly followers of Satan, the same. Man followed Satan and does to this day, those who do not repent follow Satan into punishment. Yes the soul was created immortal, and I explained I do not believe in the eternal fire for man, you'll have to find someone else to argue with on the firey hell for man.

It was a necessary action because of Satan's betrayal of God and man's sinful action to follow Satan. I'm sure that God was hurt deeply by Satan's action and the subsequent creation of hell.
Rahul Wrote:Because I don't see how me going to hell is my choice. I didn't invent hell. Your god supposedly did. He also set up reality that I would go there if I don't believe in him.
So who's choice is it again?
No you create the reality of hell's punishment in your life by choosing to disobey God and not accept Christ as your savior, hell is completely preventable if and I say if you choose Christ. So in the end it's your choice and no one else's.
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.
