Is there free will in heaven?
RE: Is there free will in heaven?
The man with the gun is giving two choices, 1st choice give me your wallet and you might live, 2nd do not give me your wallet and you will die and I will still have your wallet. The giving of the wallet is not your choice, your choice is between maybe living or you will die. The thief will have the wallet one way or the other. This in no way resembles what God offers. God ask that you either choose to have a relationship with Him, in which He will receive the love He desires, and you will live in heaven or choose not to have a relationship with Him and He does not receive the love He desires and you will live in hell. The thief gets what he desires (wallet) no matter what you choose, God only gets what He desires if you choose a relationship with Him. If you say no you do not die and God does not receive what He desires. The example of the thief is in no way comparable to the offer God gives man.
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.

LMAO! Wimp.

To that degree? I mean, she takes a word from the Bible and comes up with this fucking soliloquy on heaven that puts Shakespeare to shame.

Strange how an all powerful and PERFECT being cannot get what he wants.

Doesnt sound very perfect to me.

Don't forget soft C words for the S effect Shell.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

A perfect being does not force a choice on someone He will accept the choice made, even if it does not happen to be what He desires.
