Hell is not a place of eternal suffering: it's that false doctrine that causes all the contenctions and seek to portray God as some evil mad man. Hell is final death, nothing more, but none the less final (eternal), not unending torment as so many assumed it says in scripture. That said; as to salvation by His choise or ours: well our will is arbitrary but God's will is not. Half the world will never hear the gospel to make any use of their "free will". Who decides who hears? We do? So salvation is in the hands of men? Who has 'free will'? Who has 'special knowledge'? Just some special few who were lucky? It takes a miricle for anyone to be saved. How is it anyless cruel to believe that salvation is a man's choice? Men are messed up, stupid, ignorant, deranged, easily miss led, molested -born and made impaired by fellow men. How can they be responsible for their own salvation? I am not a 'calvanist' but if I had to choose between that or an 'Arminist', well letting God decide who gets saved is a no-brainer; I'd trust his judgement over mine or yours anyday.Odd Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07872849661955580152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2159101388355001570.post-74555207089139910092009-07-17T18:19:53.966-07:002009-07-17T18:19:53.966-07:00Calvinist site; please visit us; comment.
