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.

(December 29, 2015 at 1:58 am)IanHulett Wrote: That's an interpretation though... it's just as valid as Phil Robertsons "convert or kill nonbelievers" interpretation... and that isn't saying much. Every religious person has their own interpretation of the bible and that played a part in forming the thousands of christian denominations. 

The problem with interpretation, is that you can literally pick a bible passage and twist it to fit your beliefs. For example, some people respond to the slavery thing in the bible
 by saying that we shouldn't take the bible word for word. That's a pathetic cop out.

And as for hating god means loving death... that's a false dichotomy. Just because I hate the character of god due to the atrocities committed in the bible, doesn't mean I want to die. Can you imagine if someone said to you "You hate voldemort from Harry Potter, therefore you must love death"?

The death the passage was speaking of was the ever lasting separation from God, as I said above if you were to take the time and read the Bible you might not have to ask such questions.
You're correct many people interpret the Bible to suit their own preconceived ideas, many of us allow God to show us the truth of His scriptures.
