GOD can't deceive himself by creating us any other way. GOD is Love , and with love comes giving us the free will choice to love him back. Any other way would be forced, and an illusion. 2 Timothy 2:13 "if we are faithless, he remains faithful-- for he cannot be false to himself."

I am 99% convinced that hell is for the elinination of people, not to eternally suffer. The flames of hell are eternal, when someone goes in, they will not come out, but the suffering itself is not eternal. They will cease yo exist. This IS the second death, as we all die ONCE from this life, the second death is the death of the soul, for those that have chosen to be separate fro. The Most High. Just my opinion...

The host is correct that we come to our decisions based on our culture, upbringing, education, and circumstances. He is correct that he is a believer based on those criteria. The host is correct that in another world, he might make different decisions because his surrounding circumstances are different. This is not free will. Free will is the ability to make decisions independent of external pressures. In the macro, we do not have free will, especially when it comes to religion. The religion we choose is based on our culture, upbringing, education, and other circumstances. If you are born in the US, you most likely will follow a type of Protestant Christianity. If you were born in the Middle East, you most likely are a Muslim. If you were born and raised in Latin America, you most likely grew up a Roman Catholic Christian. Not many people choose their religion. Yes, in the modern world, we are exposed to a variety of religions which we may convert to based on new friends, new circumstances, or spouses. That is not free will either. We are making new decisions based inside new external pressures. Adam and Eve are etiological characters attempting to explain why we have knowledge, why snakes crawl, why there is intense pain in childbirth, and why there is agriculture. āIn-universeā, Adam and Eve did not rebel. At the time, they did not know the difference between good and evil. The snake persuaded Adam and Eve to eat the fruit and the snake was vindicated because God did not kill them and they received knowledge. Genesis does not say they sinned. It says, God was afraid of their knowledge and did not want them to become immortal. This is why they were kicked out. āIn-universeā, sin is first mentioned in chapter 4 when God warns Cain not to kill his brother. āIn-universeā there is not a need for a savior because already God is receiving sacrifices from Cain and Abel before sin and when Cain commits murder, God does not kill him. God has the ability to forgive sins without requiring human sacrifice.

That's a real easy question to answer -- if you don't actually answer the question and instead throw a load of straw men at it. That's what apologetics is though. "What harm would it do, if a man told a good strong lie for the sake of the good and for the Christian church ... a lie out of necessity, a useful lie, a helpful lie" amirite? Gotta lie flerf. And gotta lie for Jesus...

<<@farrex0
says :
You say, that God couldn't simply create only those that would be saved, because they need those the other people to be the person that they are. Without those external factors, they might not be saved. However, if yours or any other person's salvation is contingent on external factors, such as those people existing in order to be saved. Then they are not saved by choice, free will or merit, but rather circumstance. Which makes it extremely worse.

God is not something we can fully understand. But seems our life here has a higher purpose, than just "prepare for heaven" I do not believe in that. I believe people are judged actually before birth, god already knows everything. Many people don't have even a chance to start believing in Jesus, and it is not their fault. Sometimes I watch people's NDE (Near Death Experience) Videos, and their people describe interesting things, all of them describe they go to another realm. But more spiritual realm. What if Hell is a similar experience. Sinners gonna have hell judgment, but will they be forever? I don't think so. I believe god has a purpose for everyone.

He also doesn't seem to grasp how a thought experiment works and confuses his personal opinion with actually reasoning.

<<@piijay14
says :
This is a common question among skeptics. 'Why would God create people he knew would reject him? This is what 'Free Will' is all about. In order for God to truly love us we must be given the option to reject/accept..because Love requires choice! Doesn't your significant ones have the option to reject you? Everyone you love has the option to reject you including your parents. This is because Love is always unconditional. However there are consequences If we choose to reject. If your spouse decided tomorrow to reject you that would change some things wouldn't it? But of course you'd still love them...just as if we choose to reject God that has it's consequences but God still Loves us! Remember in order for love to work it has to be reciprocated! Without the ability to reject God that means we'd have no Free Will and thats not Love. God loves us because we have the ability to reject him!

None of us here on this fallen world because we were believers to begin with. I believe we are the fools who followed Satan out of Heaven. Now we are in these limited bodies living temporary lives to learn love and faith to fight evil, not embrace it. There are those who think being forgiven is the same as becoming without sin. This is prideful arrogance. Accepting Christ as your Savior does not you perfect or you could have been perfect before.

Itās funny how people tend to think so LINEARLY when it comes to the omniscience of God. They go like āif God knows all things, why didnāt he know Adam would eat the fruitā - making it seem like Godās knowledge base has to only accommodate a single ending point of decision for each activity of men to validate his omniscience. When in fact, knowing what decision someone is gonna take is not even as impressive as knowing all the possible outcomes of a decision and being ready to deal with any of the outcomes. How about God knows all things because he knows all the possible outcomes of all the possible actions of men? And thus, remains unfazed by what men do - no wonder the Bible says the Son (who is the atonement of the sin of Adam) was slain BEFORE the foundations of the world. He just wants to allow men the chance to prove themselves for rewards after this life, for which reason he grants us the opportunity to choose between the possible actions. Most people canāt appreciate why an all-knowing, all-powerful being would do this because inherently most of us would want to be autocratic presidents when given the chance - fully directing every citizenās life and and taking no account of each personās wishes- but fortunately, Godās not like that.

The bigger question for me as a non believer is if god exists why did he 1) Leave such poor evidence he exists and so much evidence that shows he almost certainly doesn't exist. 2) Create me and the majority of humans in such a way that we are capable of analysing evidence and that we want to believe what that evidence and the facts demonstrate to us, that is that the god of the bible does not seem to be a credible proposition.

I propose the concept that God did not "create" people ex nilho, i.e., out of nothing. To suggest so makes Him responsible for all our flaws that differ from one another in intensity and type.He made the world, and called it good. Even with the fall, if we had all been "created" perfectly by God, even taking in free will, we would not be so different in our flaws and attitude, being stamped in His image.Why are some attracted by greed, others lusts of the flesh, others have violent tempers, etc? It's not by choice of will. To say God implanted those weakness in us would make Him responsible for our sins--"God made me this way". No, I suggest that our personalities, our very being, always existed. God loved us first, and provided a way for us to grow by giving us a mortal life to test our free will to choose. He sent His perfect Son to give us grace for our sins and flaws, so we could become perfected by Him by His power. Mortal life is a test of faith and character, for us to reach out to God. If He deliberately made us imperfect, it voids the necessity of the Savior to redeem us. But if we always existed with our talents and flaws, then the only way to get us beyond our state was to provide us a mortal life and His son to save us from what we could not do with our own efforts. Jeremiah mentioned in Jeremiah1:5 before he was born, that God knew him, and choose him to serve as a prophet. We know there was a war in heaven, and one third of the host of Heaven with Lucifer was cast out for rebellion. That left the rest of us who didn't to come to earth as Adam's children to learn faith and depend on Christ to save us from ourselves.

Itās crazy people question Gods knowledge and wisdom as did Satan. Iām pretty sure God knows whatās best he gave man an easy choice choose him or not you can believe or not. But when it comes down to it at deaths door you have to meet him and whatever judgment that is to come. God was so merciful that he took your sins on him and all you have too do is believe and yet people will still choose to avoid it and make excuse. Here a simple answer you donāt know anything besides what God has said how about we have faith in him and trust his judgment and when your saved and you meet him Iām pretty sure he will show you or tell you why it was done this way. Until then have faith with the finish work of Christ Jesus and when itās your time to meet him ask all the questions you want I am sure he will be glad to answer your questions.
