Can you love on command?

[Fidel_Castronaut]

Even the bible says there's no obligation. Isn't that the whole point of free will? If you're saying there is an obligation, then can you explain the paradox of (biblical) free will?

We are commanded to love God with all our mind and strength. If we love him we will demonstrate that love by obeying his commands.

We are commanded to love our neighbor as ourselves. If we see our neighbor acting in a way that will harm him love requires that we warn him.

Biblical free will means that we have the power to choose whether or not to obey God. If we choose to disobey we must be prepared to suffer the consequences.

Surely that's contradictory?

We are given a choice (x & y) and then commanded, not just asked, but commanded, to do x and threatened with the most evil heinous immoral and disgusting imaginary acts for all eternity if we do y?

So the biblical version of free will is actually just a dichotomy? Some free will...
