With all things - LETS LOOK at the BIGGER PICTURE
When we take a glass of water and compare it to the ocean - we can see how crazy it might seem to think how half full or empty the glass is after all - in the whole scope of things.
SO if anyone can reason - and i suppose most can - they ought to take a long look at what they are trading for when they chose SSA relationships over eternity.
That 15 seconds of a climactic finale adds up to what in a year?
Perhaps 456.25 minutes a year if 15 seconds
per day every day -
out of 525,600 minutes in a year - means a human with this persuasion is willing to give up an eternity of peace and love and all that is good for 456.25 minutes a year. [Its a phenomenon that anyone thinks this is worth it]
AND that is only - only if they are guaranteed to have those 15 seconds every day of the year - regardless of illness or separation. [Or being between relationships - as down time]
Think about it- why anyone would be so willing to give up the ocean [lets pretend clear crisp water] vs a single glass is beyond me.
There are no guarantees in human love that it will last [because death comes eventually], that it will work, that it will be fulfilling, that it will be in the end - worth it.
Well, frankly, nothing is worth hell... thats the honest truth.
NDE's who went and came back say that not even in anger could they wish
anyone that fate [which includes enemies]. It is more terrible than anyone knows or could possibly conceive.
Perhaps eternity does not register in our minds.
PONDER THIS:
Picture a bird that fly's in from outer space, and he picks up one grain of sand then fly's off for a million years.At which time it returns for another grain of sand.and again fly's away for another million years. Now think about a hand full of sand and how long that would take, now a beach , now every grain of sand on the planet. MOUNTAINS of sand - Well the bird could get every grain of sand on the planet, and ETERNITY would hardly have begun..
AND even if the bird returned each grain of sand with a million years in between - eternity still has barely begun.
Its endless. The torment and agony is endless. There is no time out. There is no rest. There is no such thing as a single drop of water to parch the dry burning. There is absolutely nothing to relieve the pain. Nothing.
And just because someone does not like God for this, it still will not change God.
Free will - is fine. However; think about what you are trading in for and what returns you will get for 15 seconds a day - as though all of eternity were worth that few seconds in time.
