And the Christian God made that person with the capability to reject, when he knows what it would take for them to accept him. If he loves all his creation, why would he do that, to 2/3 of the world's population?
Indeed, as I have yours.Agree, which is why others will likely disregard your personal experiences, as it pertains to their own.
We're talking about Hell here. Please stick with the topic. My question about eternal punishment was a question about Hell and whether it is a just response to disobedience or rejection.
Sigh. Nevermind....Like I said, there's a distinction between disobedience and rejection. Refer back to my older posts.
If you love someone, why would you force them to do that with which they do not want to. In your argument God would be more benevolent if we were robots lacking free will?
Blameless by whose standard? Once again, we are designed flawed, and then blamed for being designed that way.Why don't we just end the small talk and answer the question of the thread...again? Yes, if you are blameless at death, you deserve heaven, all else aside.
It's difficult for me to reply to three persons simultaneously, especially when idle chat keeps dripping in.Sigh. Nevermind....

So referring back to eternal rejection - How can your father help you if you reject him?
You can be disobedient, and be forgiven, to reject is a constant state.
So the original design was flawed; it allowed sin to enter the picture.Original design was not flawed, all was good. Sin entered through disobedience, just as failing to heed a warning can lead to ill effects.

I deny Jesus as a savior of mankind, but I do think historically speaking, he was a real person. I find it extremely unlikely there is a God of any kind, even more unlikely a god that actually "loves" his creation and for some reason cares so much if people love him back. And to make it clear too, I don't believe in the devil either. I'm an honest and caring person, I've never done an "evil" thing my entire life. With that all said, would I go to hell?
To stop sinning and become holy so you can be with Him without all sin exposed which will make you want to hide in the shadow. That's what Sadhu Sundhar Singh saw. People just fled from Him to darkness because He was too holy and the Light exposed all their sin. You can get rid of sin when you accept His offer.Help me to do what?
