These people are taking Christianity and making it into what they want, they do not understand the OT and, that's why I keep harping on people need to study scripture and come to understand what the entire Bible is teaching. If an ol' southern boy can be taught by God what His purpose was and is, then I do not see why anyone else can't be the same. My interpretation of scriptures is a man trying to tell people about who God is, however as long as I listen to God and tell people what He teaches, then God is speaking to them through me. If a Christian can not find great satisfaction in God choosing them to present Himself to others, well I question why they want to be a Christian.

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.
