Buddha, Hinduism, Mithraism, Baha'i, & etc.Well, love me all to hell...So let me get this straight. On the Occult thread you appeal to the first law of thermodynamics since this law seems to fit your criteria of who God is. However, when I apply the laws of motion God is a sadist? So why do scientific laws you like prove your point and scientific laws that don't align with your agenda don't? Now you are contradicting yourself since salvation is how man escapes an eternity in the lake of fire. Also you have brought free will into this discussion, which is basically what I refer to when I posted that men who reject God's love are those who spend eternity in the lake of fire. As you posted God does not want robots, He wants those who by their own free will accept His love and live in accordance with His love. Chad T brought up something that is found in Ephesians, but he has put Calvin's spin on the doctrine of the elect by not taking into consideration that those who are the elect are the elect based on God's foreknowledge. John 3:16 and the verses that follow are in fact germane to this thread. God's love in personified in the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son. God created with His Son and our salvation as His only reason for creation. Therefore, those who reject His Son reject His love, which leaves God no alternative but to judge those who by their own choice decide they can work their way into His kingdom. "For all have sinned and fall short of His glory" (Romans 3:23) . "There is none righteous, not even one" (Psalms 14:1-3. Roman 3:10). |
