You can choose the being of all good, God, or the being of all evil, Satan. The choice is up to the person. But God has no gun to your head, and his gift is wonderful.False dichotomy. I could, and have, chosen neither.
Do you understand metaphor, JL1? Because it seems as if you don't. No, god doesn't literally have a gun to anyone's head, but it's implied. Saying I am free to choose, but then saying that there are consequences if I choose the wrong thing is the height of stupidity. It is just like someone asking you a question with a gun to your head.
Sorry but you can't choose neither. Your soul has to go somewhere. Either you accept God's gift, or choose to be with his exact opposite, Satan.
And I understand metaphor. The thing is God is giving you an amazing choice, yes the other option may be bad, but no one needs to choose it. Just choice Jesus! It's that simple!
