Well yes, maybe, don't know. I try to be nice, and forget being good or bad.Are you not yourself good and bad, right and wrong, old and young for example?

Are you being facetious or asking a genuine question?
It's ok I'll survive.If you start with the wisdom of I can't fully know God but I acknowledge that He exists then you're on the way to salvation and as long as you keep seeking Truth and Him you'll avoid Hell so you can forget about yourself and this life and this world and be something better beyond your dreams.
I used to say that to my parents when I was a teenager.
To be honest now I am ashamed of saying such a thing.
My parents didn't ask to be born either and they never complained about their parents or God to me ever....
That wasn't the question.
Let's say you have the power to create intelligent beings. The beings you fashion did not ask to be formed. You decided to create them because you are creative, it is in your nature to make things, you are love, and you create beings capable of loving- but MOST importantly, you want to lavish your love on beings you create.
You make your beings, and you give them boundaries (for their good- so they will be happy and healthy). Your beings are wilful and decide they know better than you, and operate outside the boundaries.
Because you love these beings, and desire their eternal health and happiness, you have set up eternal laws that can not be violated. If they are, the beings are no longer happy and healthy.
He has our good as His ultimate driving force for what He does.
you did not exist before you were born. God gave you the gift of life along with a free will.
Well a lot of verses say it's a fire. But what type of fire, physical fire or spiritual fire?
Would you really want to live forever in sin
Of course God wishes for our well being. But some of us decide we don't want a relationship with Him, so that is what we get. Choices have consequences.
But God Almighty is letting the believer know that this world is not their home... He is offering us eternal life!
It was bearing a false witness of the Word to God and everyone.
I'm fine, no fuss.I go to God for you, Chris.
Perfect.I used to say that to my parents when I was a teenager.

I just think its the height of arrogance to say such a thing now. (sorry but I do have some empathy for you) And isn't it the spoilt first world teenagers, who tend to say it? I mean, would Christians in poor countries say it?
Can you imagine if God spoke to us like this before our lives started?
"Now Paul, this is what your life is going to be like. You grow up in a nice first world working class family, not rich but very loving. You will suffer a lot of anxiety and self-doubt throughout your life. Its up to you if you want to make the most of it. Do you want it or not? I've got a spare life as a tortured Chrstian in a Muslim dominated country but you probably wouldn't like that , would you?"

God created things - saw it was good -very good.
Man chose to give the rights of their dominion away to the devil.
God has provided us a time of grace as Jesus Christ overcame death and offers us redemption. We can be
translated from the kingdom of darkness to His kingdom.
We do not have to follow the prince of this world that is a murderer, liar, and loser.
It sounded like a liberal doctrine that's growing in acceptance.
Do our plates question our meal choices?
