I have a question I have been struggling with. I welcome all responses.
If we have a soul (which I believe), why would god subject the soul He gave each of us to the mortal shortcomings of a human who so easily sins against God?
In other words, does a soul ever think, "Wow, I got screwed... this human/mortal is a dirtbag and now I will have to go to hell.". Obviously the words are not like that, and I am just making the point.
God gave humans free thought. We are in a corrupted world due to satan convincing Eve to break God's only rule.
God also gave his only son to us by him sacrificing himself for our sins.
God wants us to choose him, to choose him over sin, over evil. If he forced good upon us, that isn't love, its forced. But by us choosing him over sin, shows the love God deserves.
If you want a girl to love you, but she refuses, if I hold a gun to her head and say, LOVE ME, she didn't choose to love, she is forced. By having the free will to choose God, and to choose to love him.
God loves each and every person on earth, he craves us to come to him. He will absolve your sin if you trust him and Jesus Christ.
By having the free choice to CHOOSE GOD, we can then live in an uncorrupt, beautiful heaven prepared for us for those who chose God. For eternity, literally forever. Our lives here are so short compared to a millennium, let alone an eternity.
Praise King Jesus! Well said brother. It’s not by works though. People are deceived by religious denominations. There is nothing we can add to what Jesus did on the cross. Amen! HalleluYAH!
it's because there are two types of people in this world; children of light and children of darkness. so I think we're at the point we have too many bodies, not enough souls. we're in the separation of the wheat from the tares. so the 'people' with all the short comings...are the tares, basically bots at this point. look up Gnosticism and 'hylics'.
Thanks for the explanation.

Anyway... thoughts?

The works don't save you, but will come automatically if you truly love God and man and will increase as you grow your relationship with your Creator.
Amen!
