@ FallentoReason, I've read through the posts, and you are arrogant in your belief that others would in any way have the same opinion about life as you believe they would, if they unconverted. You are also arrogant about the fact you can change the way your friend believes, you've done nothing to change my mind, nor will you ever be able to, God holds me in His hand, why, because outside of the scriptures I know God is real. I did come to faith through scriptures, I've come to belief because of scriptures, I know God through actual experiences with Him. What I read in what your friend said was this, tell me so I can pray in specific ways for you, He/he knows you are still hanging onto those old beliefs, One is waiting for the right time, the other will pray in His will at the right time. This you know and this is what scares you.
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.
