I'm just wondering how I got roped into this deal without even purposely perturbing someone.

It was a joke to 2 friends Epi, I was suggesting no such thing in reality.

@TSQ- I thought you liked being roped? I think I'll need to verify that with Ryft. Where he been lately?

Certainly not roping me up. Takes another heathen to do that.

(October 9, 2011 at 4:53 pm)Godschild Wrote: Theophilus and Tack both make good points, I would like to add to what they have said. Those who will be in heaven have made a choice to be there and in that choice we have received grace and understand what God has done for us, we will find no need to exercise our freewill in a sinful manner, so yes there will be freewill in heaven. Even those who will live in the darkness of hell will have freewill, because they had no change in heart they never experienced grace and will find no reason not to keep on with there sinful attitude. Each will be alone and can do no harm to others, so for those who read this and go to hell you will find no pleasure there.

But. It's. Not. Real.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
