Gagare1:
Deep. Very deep. Going by this, who is free?

Gagare1:
Please educate me on what freewill is.

And, does freewill implies a complete absence of responsibility for actions taken?

Gagare1:
Very interesting!

Check this out:
So you decided to build a mansion with hundreds of well furnished rooms. Everything in the mansion is elite grade. You also reserve a room, just like the others, where the house documents are kept. Then, you found a homeless person and offered him the complete management of the mansion. He should treat the mansion AS his home, make any necessary decisions concerning the mansion. You told that person, "you can do whatever you like in this house, live in the house and take care of it. All I ask is that you remember and acknowledge that the house is mine. Therefore, to remind you of my ownership of the house, I am placing a limit on that one room reserved for me. You can take care of the room, just like the others, but don't use the room as yours. This is simply to remind you that you are enjoying someone's benevolence.

So after some time in the mansion, having enjoyed all it has to offer, this person felt like, "why the hell should I not use that room? I am now the owner of this house. And to prove my elevated status, I will claim it as mine by using the owner's room."

But that singular act carries a deep meaning. It means you no longer acknowledge the rightful owner of the house. This automatically means you have eaten your cake, therefore you can't still have it. Refusing to acknowledge the rightful owner is the same as choosing to vacate the mansion. So when you become homeless again, is that a punishment or a result of you choice?

God gave you freewill and respects your choices, the least you can do is respect his own will too.

You can't live your life in disregard for God and expect to reap the same result with those who regarded God.

That is not how freewill works.

Can you punish a computer for not functioning well? If not why?

Steep:
You have the freedom to make choice but once you make the choice you don't have the freedom not to recieve the consequence.
A criminal has the choice not to do crime but once he commits crime he loses his freedom.

Gagare1:
Hell is a reward for choices made. I am of the opinion that God, having given us freewill, is bound by His Word to allow us exercise that power. But we must also own up to the results of our choices. If your choice in this life is "I don't want to submit to God", then God will accept your choice by withdrawal from you in the next life. So the pains of hell is not really God choosing to torment you. No. It is simply you experiencing what you willingly chose: God leaving you alone, as you willed.

It doesn't sound like punishment, but harvest.

My teacher Mayn, welcome to the thread.

Gagare1:
For me, hell is simply the complete absence of God in a place or a system.

If God is the author of anything good, then the complete absence of God will mean the complete presence of everything bad.

If you will break this down, tons of books can be written.

No matter how bad things may seem now, the fact that God is present moderates the evil you see. Hell is a place where God grants the wishes of those who chose to reject Him by simply saying, "as you wish". God will not be there. If the absence of God is unimaginable then you get the point; hell's evil cannot be imagined.

ebubeson:
Please what is your view about bringing comedians to jest in the church? Is it not polluting God's holy altar?

LeftAlone:
How is this some parlour trick?

That is the reason I haven't had it recorded in videos because I knew some of you will still not believe.

I've told you, your believe is useless. Whether you believe or not, if you tried that experiment up there, anybody, anywhere in the world will get the expected result.

Benblaq:
Just like the subject is asking, what is that your theological stance?

Happy Sunday!

Nobody said it was bad..
But just state the relevance to the discussion at hand, and make any connections if any..move. It forward. I want to learn too and add my own points too...

No knowledge is lost..

22jumpstreet1:
Maynman you really don't have anything to say. If you do you would have driven this lesson forward rather than look for history of words..

Say something please..
