And they are all burning in eternal hellfire for their defiance of the Risen Lord Jesus.
You are confusing the condition with the cause.
When I sit down my bones and muscles move in the way of sitting... but I make the choice to sit down, and I am the controller of this action.
Love is a similar story.
You don't even know who Thor is.....!??
I tell you friend....it's straight to Helheim for you...wouldn't want to be in your shoes...!
For a long time I believed God will never judge those who don't know about him.
but given the law of nature* innate in our mental instincts.
Even if we are deceived it appears God will still judge* us.
source: (adam and eve being deceived still rejected from the garden).
so this motive that satan can deceive man in a way that makes God curse his creation, has been the motive of satan for thousands of years.
But I used to try to sugar coat my ideas, that the pigmi's in africa never heard the Gospel and would be safe.
but the truth is, that via deception of the prince of the air, the chances are not looking good for them.
hence this motive led one of the greatest missionary movements of our time.
1789-1914 the great missionary era.
We are no longer in a missionary era, and that is unfortunate.
what are your thoughts.
Footnotes:
*law of nature, as explained by CS lewis (explanation of this is allowed on this thread)
**Judgement - great white throne judgement, of all wrong doings: Revelation 20:12-14: "12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death."
(note:now, one can argue that eve was the one deceived and not adam. Meaning that either He KNEW what was happening, and chose to do it anyway. Which begs the question when we are deceived, if deep inside, if we REALLY are suppressing the truth for a lie.)

I am sure the legend can be traced back to one of the three children on noah.
power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
one of noah's sons was zeroaster, the founder of black magic. (shem I believe)
well....to objectively refute my opinion.Opinion
what are your thoughts.
well....to objectively refute my opinion.
either give your own opinion....
or...please state objectively how love can evolve from slime in the earth.
in other wise, compassion for others is not something that is bioavailable.
you cannot mix chemicals in a beaker, with a bunsen burner and create love.
love is supernatural.

I'll give it a go.well with no argument from side either way, on your part...
We all do.I will "love" to have my own opinions about "love"
Most experts suggest "love" is a highly developed emotion, evolved from a need/desire to form strong bonds and relationships, ensuring species survival.what is your opinion about it?
No doubt "love" can be used to one's advantage, and many poets and artists have used metaphor to describe it's attributes.Love is contagious, it's like a virus.
Depends on how you look at it. I just Googled "how many children go missing each year," and the first hit stated about 800,000 children per year.so when God shed his love on the world,
Agreed. Theists have done some wonderful things, as well as heinous things, all in the name of loving god/s.we caught the love bug.
See above response.and have been loving each other as a result.
You got me there.but putting it in a testube and nuking it for a few minutes will not produce love.
I'll let you be the judge of that.So you have no argument.
Why dont you first support your opinion, with evidence, as opposed to shifting the burden.
And there you would be totally wrong....what a surprise.
There is no link at all between the Norse gods and those of the Jews.
THAT is so incredibly ICKKK! even just reading it!love can evolve in a testube under the right conditions.
Ok.I gave my evidence.
Which is really not an argument. I'm sure you understand why.it's an argument from silence yes,
I agree with you, it's absurd to think you could "evolve" an emotion over a Bunsen burner or an agar plate.but it is better than believing love can evolve in a testube under the right conditions.
"Love," like any other emotion, is a result of tens of thousands of years of evolution. An emotion that most experts agree that evolved out of a need/desire to strengthen family/group bonds, and thereby promoting species survival.you still have yet to describe where exactly love comes from (if not from God)

Mainly that you just make Christianity look bad.
Blaming people for an honest difference of opinion just makes God look like a moral monster.
Imagine that an alien species loves direct democracy. We on Earth don't practice direct democracy. The alien species decides to exterminate the human species because obviously we deserve it for not practicing direct democracy. Nevermind that there might be honest disagreement over that issue, and in many cases people don't even know what direct democracy is.
