Bible Note: Hi, Armond888! I respect your decision not to discuss this topic... I appreciate your offering of Scripture... I must state that you have proven nothing... To be devoid of will would suggest that all must do according to God's Will regardless of desire to act in a rebellious manner (sin)--this of course is proven by Scripture not to be the case as the people of Israel, God's chosen people, rebelled time and again against Yahweh's Authority. And since Scripture states that we are all sinners (Romans 5:12) when we apply your theory to humanity, then we can only condlude that man will end up in hell; if you don't believe in hell then: man will end up in a realm devoid of the Glory of God. True, in Scripture we find all answers... but when we apply Scripture in a preconceived manner that removes the Holy Spirit's guidance we end up with contorted ideas of the Word of God! Just listen to Yahweh's own words: Would I take pleasure in the death of the wicked--declares the Lord Yahweh--and not prefer to see him renounce his wickedness and live? ...Repent, renounce all your crimes, avoid all occasions for guilt. Shake off all the crimes you have committed, and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! Why die, House of Israel? I take no pleasure in the death of anyone--declares the Lord Yahweh--so repent and live! (Ezekiel 18:23, 30-32) And our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, couldn't have made it any clearer: And the judgement is this: though the light has come into the world people have preferred darkness to the light because their deeds were evil. And indeed, everybody who does wrong hastes the light and avoids it, to prevent his actions from being shown up; but whoever does the truth comes into the light, so that what he is doing may plainly appear as done in God.' (John 3:19-21) My friend, humanity's fate is not sealed in the blood-thirstiness of a Creator that relishes in seeing His creatures in torment and pain! Not so, my friend! Our fate is sealed by the choices we make! If we rejects God's Authority the end result will always be eternal damnation (Revelation 16:9, 11)! But if we humbly subject ourselves to our Lord's Will, the end result is Eternal Life with Him and in Him! (Romans 6:23) God Bless! Angel |
