Free will and gods will, is never going to make sense to me. Such a flawed concept to have both free will and god’s will. Along with punishment for choosing wrong. Unconditional love is loving the sinner no matter their actions, choices or beliefs.

@SerialSnowmanKiller Says:
I think of God like an author, so it's helpful to consider real-life authors. Think of JK Rowling; she created the character of Voldemort, knowing that he was doomed to evil. But if you somehow brought Voldemort into the real world and offered him true free will, and the chance to NOT end up the way he did, would he take it? No, of course not.

God causes children to be punished for the sins of their parents. Seems pretty unjust.

Once saved, always saved, your Holy Spirit is sealed, it is locked it’s impossible to break through with the father and the son. Your flesh and thoughts has nothing to do with anything, god truly wants your heart, Jesus can only change you, not yourself, only through your Holy Spirit, it doesn’t mean you’re not going to sin no more, you’ll just have other desires with the spirit to praise the lord for what he did on that cross. remember, you don’t need to repent from your sins it’s highly impossible for trying to, that’s already working for your salvation. God bless everyone ❤❤

@DaBigRMV Says:
The problems I see with the comments by people who do not want to believe in God are 1) They don’t know or acknowledge who God is; that he is sovereign and he sets the rules. 2) None of their ideas about what their version of what God should be matters in regards to whether they obey him or not. 3) They don’t understand that God created us to share in and delight in his glory and who he is. But he gave us free will to choose an eternity away from him in Hell.

the right question is : why does people reject Christ's offer of salvation ?
@theljbrotherhood3553 Says:
He JUST said God can use his will on atheists and then says he doesn't cause it. How can God have a grand plan but not be the cause?
@flanderg123 Says:
Lol Frank....who would be considered good if they let people make a mistake the would result in an eternity of torture? God. You are sick. You are delusional. If this god is so powerful, then it could simply convince everyone it exists and share its value proposition in an understandable way. This wouldn't go against free will, it's like an advertisement. People would follow because of its charisma and leadership.
@zaviersimpson7757 Says:
Turek is so dishonest. If a God is all knowing and all powerful there is no such thing as free will. If you believe both of these attributes are true about God, then Calvinism is the only logical conclusion.

@treystamm585 Says:
God also knows when the right time to reveal Himself is. Some people lose faith, and that’s okay. God is always watching over all of us, and when He believes it to be time, He will reveal Himself and then in THAT moment, an atheist can decide whether to hold onto their belief or not.

So God creates the universe, makes humans the way they are, sets up all of the influences around us, and somehow he's not causing people to do what they do? That's really messed up reasoning.

@DoctorLexus-4President Says:
This is mental. If God creates people knowing what will happen, he has caused them to go to Hell. Guys this isn't rocket science.
@chrisdavidson2810 Says:
Simple answer: God didnt create anyone to go to hell, or known is hebrew as sheol or known in greek as hades, as this is figurative place literally meaning the grave. God plans to ressurect any who are in the grave and then do away with the grave itself by throwing it into the 'lake of fire' as revelation uses in symbolic language meaning complete destruction (non existence) The bible make plane, there are only 2 conditions- Living or dead. Dead means the opposite of life which is non existence. Eccl. 9:5
@TriSticle Says:
Does God create people he knows are going to Hell or does he give them the free will to do what they want? Free will would dictate that people have the choice to do what God wants or not. If God creates people knowing they are going to hell when he creates them, wouldn't there not be free will then?
I get that he can get his will done through the work of what atheists do. But did he create them that way, or did they choose to follow that path?
@brandongilmore3868 Says:
But then why won't God show himself to the atheists so that they may be saved?
@oldschooltakingyaback Says:
Speaking of 'The God Delusion' even Dawkins admits it's "unscientific," to be an atheist. He makes a 1-7 scale (7 being there absolutely is no God), and he says he's a 6.9.

I’m learning now you have to spend your life serving God and not just accepting what he gives you to two-way street God doesn’t want anyone to go to hell but you could be a preacher and end up going to hell if you were selfish and use gods name for you your own benefit he’s a mighty loving GodHe is the perfect thing that died on the cross for our sins he didn’t have to do that but he did could you do that? Let’s all learn to serve God and protect those who can’t protect themselves against Dangerous people such as the Muslims praise the Lord
@666bert666bert Says:
So God has his will, and plans for us therefore we don’t have free will. Thats nice. If he created people knowing they were going to hell then he created some bad people.

@ChiefShepherd-d6x Says:
It amazes me that so many people interchange jesus with GOD
SO Of course GOD exists but
The question is was jesus GOD?
Consider how there are so many different denominations of Christians who supposedly all have a personal connection or relationship with jesus, why cant any of them agree on what the book says?
Whats the difference between talking to jesus and talking to yourself?
@SAM-dm5qg Says:

@Indoctrinated_Mind Says:
Any god who uses a human sacrifice as a means to an end is a MONSTER. Remember this human being is going to be burned alive for billions of years. I and many other atheists would rather choose to not exist that to suffer that pain but god just creates us anyway like the monster he is.
If i came up to ask for somthing and in return i don't toucher you. Who is at fault.
@x1nightskyx Says:
Fear and ignorance is what makes people believe in god. They are scared to question their beliefs because of the idea of hell if they are wrong. Its not a coincidence that most people turn to god at a time of desperation. Its the idea of god that gives people false hope and takes advantage over them when they fall into despair. Making them become irrational.
The only truth in the biblical books are natural events without supernatural causes. Thousands of manuscripts are not evidence, just as thousands of comic books are not evidence. Just because New York is real doesn't mean Spiderman is real. Fake stories can be based on real locations and can have a false or tampered history. No artifacts supports any supernatural claims.
No scientific evidence supports god. There is no such things as talking snakes, virgin births, walking on water or surviving 3 days inside a fish without oxygen. They believe you're an inbreed created by the incest of adam and eves children. Everything becoming wrong is their only excuse for believing this ridiculous nonsense. A fairytale compared to abiogenesis.
Evolution is an observable fact and disproves adam and eve as they never would have existed. Fossil records show that its a FACT that humans didn't exist during the time of the dinosaurs because the biblical story is a lie and humans hadn't yet evolved.
Noahs ark is a copied myth and has been debunked by many historical records of other civilizations that were found during and after that time. No geologists has ever found any evidence of a global flood. The majority of animals today didnt exist millions of years ago. Creationist scholars believe the earth is only 6000 years old. Major extinctions isn't recorded in biblical text. Where are all the saved dinosaurs and extinct animals that should have been on the ark? Over 99% of all species of plants and animals that have ever lived are extinct. Earth is not perfect for life.
Sin doesn't exist. In psychology morality is subjective and only in an organized community does it become objective and laws are created. Good and evil are just human perceptions based on evolution and survival. Love is just an evolutionary development of consciousness such as lying, stealing and killing that became necessary for survival. Evil is not spiritual, but psychological. Every religion teaches how one should universally behave in a society.
If god is all knowing then you do not have free will. Everything was always known to happen and had been designed to happen. Creationist will hatch excuses to justify their false belief by saying you had a choice. However it is not free will if the outcome was already determined. You can not change the path that god had already set up for you or change that future. Meaning that you were already judged before you were born and that Judgement Day had already happened the moment everything began.
Free will doesn't exist and is an illusion. Everything you do is a reaction to external and biological influences. As an example, you did not choose your appearance, to start breathing or to be born. All your thoughts and actions are the result of neurological impulses influencing you. You do not control your thoughts but your thoughts control you. Everything you do is not your will and is outside of your control. Destiny has already decided your future.
The resurrection never happened. Jesus and his miracles are exaggerated stories stolen from different cultures. No one has ever seen jesus. Even the picture you know of him is fake and is just a creation by the church for attraction and profits.
Jesus is a personification of the sun. In ancient times people would describe ideas or objects to have human characteristics. They would call the sunrise the birth of the sun. The suns reflection over the water would be described as the sun is walking on water. The virgin birth is the sun rising under the constellation Virgo. The symbol for Virgo is the letter M, which is how they got the name Mary. These stories are symbolic metaphors to describe their surroundings. The reason why they call the bible holy and divine. Its a poem of the stars.
There are many examples of people through out history that never existed and are just a personification of ideas, values and emotions. Examples like Uncle Sam, Sherlock Holmes and Santa Claus. That is how every greek gods was created.
The laws of thermodynamics says all energy and matter can not be created nor destroyed, meaning the universe is eternal and was never created by god, but by natural forces of energy. Black holes proves that singularities exist. The universe was a singularity before the big bang and did not come from nothing. Natural forces caused the singularity to expand and transition energy into matter causing our universe to exist.
The Bible and Quran is a historical fabrication by man. That falsely claim god as a cause for natural events. Its prophecies are nothing but just paranoia and poetry. Fooling only themselves by translating nonspecific scriptures into metaphors of natural events and modern science.
@thomascook7146 Says:
You could also think of it this way: God created you. You come into the world, experiencing everything and growing up. You make choices based on what you want in life. God knows the final destination, however, you don’t know the final destination. You’re making your own choices and eventually, you’ll find out what your final destination is by your own free will, and God knows it and doesn’t intervene to make you a believer in Him since God want you to come to him on your own accord.

@rubytuby6369 Says:
Jesus actually did succeeded in his mission to save the whole world…
Hell is Sheol, the grave. God‘s not torturing people for eternity. Believers are promised.Aionion life life in the ages to come not eternal life. After that we put on immortality. People have beginnings. They are not eternal only God is eternal, having no beginning and no end. Unbelievers miss out on Aionion life., But in the end (the new heaven, new earth age ) all things are reconciled.
Colossians 1: 20and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through the blood of His cross.
