I love this comment❤


--- Quote ---And the second question we hear all the time is if God is going to save us all, then what is the use of trying to live a “ good” life? What is the point ?  This one perplexes me greatly . Did they only love God because of the threat of Hell ? Did they really not want to know Him or be like Him or serve Him ?  The response to this question reveals the heart

When I first started going door to door as a Jehovah's Witnesse, I was filled with so much excitement to tell people there was no such place as a burning hellfire of endless torture. That excitement was very short lived though, because what should have been received as the best news you could ever hear, as a Christion who believed in such a place, only angered them.

I had a long time to process this kind of reaction, and realized believing in such a sick and horrible doctrin hardens peoples hearts. Believing in the free will doctrin, as they do, makes them feel superior because they chose salvation, and those going to hell made their choice too.

There are some, who do genuinely exhibit Godly love and just accept this is neccessary in his plan for mankind, but want to try  and save people from making the wrong choice.

The perplexing thing to me, as one who grew up with the hellfire doctrin, and could never connect this God of love to such an evil and unloving act of punishment, is how they justify or explain away such an evil act by a loving God,  when they vehemently deny God even created or uses evil. They defend him of having any connection to it, but then accuse him of committing one of the most evil acts anyone can even imagine.

My response to "Why God allows innocent children to suffer is?":

HE has given ADULTS a free choice (not free will), and when adults make irresponsible, wrong, & selfish choices, then they, being responsible for the child's safety, they are the guilty one's for not protecting that child/those children better. The blood is on the hands of the adult whom was given charge over the child, it is that adult whom must answer to God... (ex: when a leader and members of a militia are more interested in using their federal monies that were given to them to feed their children, then they turn around and use that money on buying more weapons for war, while the children starve to death, will be held accountable for those children's deaths);(or when a woman murders the baby inside of her womb/abortion...she must be held accountable.) Had God not given these adults 'free choice', then the adults could try to turn their bad choices against God ,by saying that they were 'made to chose' to do what they did to the innocent children, then they would never repent … hopefully, this will make anyone repent and change their lives for the better. Plus, if we did not know how terrible evil is, then we would not know how good God is... :o
