Because God loves us so much, He paid the ultimate price to spare us from hell.
He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die a torturous death on the cross so we could escape hell's flames.
However, in His perfect love, God also gives us a free will.
We can accept or reject His escape hatch from hell. If we reject it and burn, it is our fault, not God's.
Hibiscus,
The enlightened possess understanding
So profound they can not be understood.
Because they cannot be understood
I can only describe their appearance:
Cautious as one crossing thin ice,
Undecided as one surrounded by danger,
Modest as one who is a guest.
Unbounded as melting ice,
Genuine as unshaped wood,
Broad as a valley,
Seamless as muddy water.
Who stills the water that the mud may settle,
Who seeks to stop that he may travel on,
Who desires less than what may transpire,
Decays, but will not renew.
The I-Ching says it's true. Accept truth into your heart Hibiscus.
this thread has been just too entertaining.
Imagine an inmate sitting on death row. He is about to be executed when the warden appears at his cell with an official pardon signed by the governor.
All this condemned man must do is accept the pardon and he can waltz out of prison a free man. But suppose he rejects the pardon and is executed.
Is it the governor's fault? No. He did everything he could, but his offer was rejected.
Our eternal destiny is the same. We can accept God's offer, or we can reject it and suffer the consequences.
The choice is ours. What could be more fair? Soon, you will have an opportunity to choose heaven as your eternal home. If we do nothing, hell is where we will go.
Glad you find it entertaining tetra...so is your picture lol
God loves you and does not want you in hell:
What a prick he is then.
God "ah guys yall need to repent"
Sinners "fo wut G?"
God "you'll go to hell and make me sad "
Sinners "oh fo sho G, just give us a little proof"
God "well you see thats the thing, I cant until your 'heart' is right"
Sinners "oh? how does my heart get right with no proof"
God *slightly flustered* "There is proof"
Sinners "oh?"
God "sure, have you ever been to hawaii?"
Sinner "no, but"
God "but nothing do you believe hawaii exists?"
Sinner "ya but"
God "Well see then, but nothing, you have no excuse"
Hibiscus, consider this verse on hypocrisy:
When the Way is forgotten
Duty and justice appear;
Then knowledge and wisdom are born
Along with hypocrisy.
When harmonious relationships dissolve
Then respect and devotion arise;
When a nation falls to chaos
Then loyalty and patriotism are born.
so is your picture
