What option do you think you have?

To give absolutely zero regard to what your or anyone else's fairy tales say, and live my life how I see fit.
But you can't do that can you? You are limited at least by your income and station in life arent you? how is this true freedom? one could easily conclude your a slave to your station in life. So sure if you want to say you have the freedom to do whatever you want with in your soceitial station in life, I agree. If you want to pretend you have real freedom I'd tell you to grow up.

Which is why I never even mentioned "true freedom" or whatever the hell that this, so don't imply that I did. I try to live my life in a manner that I believe is practical, fulfilling, and moral. No fairy tales or skygods or myths required.

So no, I'll pass on the offer to be a slave, as raucously fun as that sounds. I'll live my life my own way, thanks.

What brand of christian are you? I have never in my life heard this from another christian.

Like! Clap

Hows that all loving again?

I am take my ques from the bible only. I do assoceiate myself with several different 'denominations' as they strive to do the same. The harvest bible Chapel out of the Chicago area is one I most identify with.

That said, know that the bible does not say God is 'All Loving.' John 3:16 says that God's Love is conditional.

Omni-benevolence is a catholic doctrine first adopted/mandated in the 1870's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnibenevolence

Quite sometime after the bible was written.

How magnanimous of god. Yes, massa, being good, massa. Something to aspire to, indeed.

If you are destroyed in Hell, what does it matter what you think of God?

Which of the two is it? Being slave to Satan or being destroyed? Can't have it both ways.

We are a slave to sin and the master of sin in this life, which leads to the second death in the next life.

So, both.

Thats really interesting. Do you get a lot of flack from all the other christians that believe opposite from you? I'm sure you don't care.

Do you get questioned about you views from other christians that you first tell this to?
