Have you ever had a crush on girl who did not feel the same about you, and no matter what you did she just did not think of you that way? i don't think you can force a person to Love you.

God does not want robots, if He did we would created them instead. He wants people to Love Him and serve Him because they Love Him. I have a computer I can make it do anything I want, but I do not get the same satisfaction when my computer obeys me that I get When my Sons listen to what I say and obey out of Love for me.

Is there a purpose to this line of questioning? :)

Satan has robots, what ever satan puts in the mind of his children they must do. Robots are dead, God is life.

So God just has crushes on people, and hopes He can woo them?

Let me ask you something? Have you ever done something against your child's wishes simply because you loved them, and knew it was best for them? That's a more accurate picture than a high school crush.

There is a good song which goes. i can't make you love me if you don't, you can't make your heart feel something it won't.

Would a new heart, one of flesh as opposed to one of stone, love God freely?

People send them self to hell by rejecting God. Hell is being completely cut off from God. If people reject God they then get nothing from God, they are cut off after this life. Everything Good comes from God, So hell is place where everything bad is. It is a dumping ground and why Jesus compared it to one.
I agree.

the point wasn't about a crush but about making someone love you, sorry if you couldn't follow:).

Does God describe his wrath like crushing something in a winepress so that their blood splatters on his clothes?

Yes He does:

Ia 63:3
Not a pretty picture, but it is a thrice Holy God speaking about his hatred of his enemies, after all.

God will kill Egyptians for His glory, but he won't send people to hell.

yeah. right.

Agreed. He is the Judge. Judges do the sentencing. Therefore, God sentences those to Hell because of their sin if said sins are not covered by the blood of Christ and they are not reborn of Spirit.

and yet God is Love 1 john 4:8. Funny I thought love was gentle and kind, oh wait God said it is 1 cor 13.

Read some OT. God killed the Egyptians for His glory. My guess is that He loves Himself more.

Yeah i would like to see the verse where it says God killed them for His glory. You are misguide. My God and your God two different people. Right God loved Him self so much that He gave His life to save us. Took on our sins and punishment, because that sounds like a God who puts Himself first. The only weakness is in your theology.

I will harden Pharaoh’s heart so that he will pursue them. Then I will receive glory by means of Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am Yahweh.” So the Israelites did this. (Exodus‬ 14‬:4‬ HCSB)

I don't think that means what you think.

KJV

4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord. And they did so.


God received Honor because all of Egypt realize He is God. He was not Honored by the men's death but by His victory.

So are you suggesting God takes pleasure in the death of His enemies?

You might want to look up the definition.

And I noticed that you have no problems asking questions. Hmmmm.

I figured you would say yes but thought I would ask before I said that is not Biblical. The difference is I have a point.

Yeah. Your point is you're afraid to see God as he really is.


How about this one:


For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.

Does that fit the caricature if God you have created?
