How can anyone not see the contradiction?

I know exactly what you mean, it is a question I myself asked to many others who thought they knew the answer. But I have yet to come across an answer that is based upon fact and not faith. (I hate that damnable word)...

Love is greater than life. If God had not given man freedom from the control of His will, there would be no atrocities, persecution, hatred, death and damnation. Murder, the holocaust, abortion, rape, atrocities, and damnation, all flow out from man's free will. We know that God tremendously values man's physical and spiritual life and well being. What outcome could be so precious to God to attain, for God to grant man free will which allows atrocities, death and damnation to man? LOVE! Love can only be chosen in a situation where there is freedom to choose not to love. Death, damnation and sin are all consequences of God allowing man free will in order to gain man's love. Gaining human love for God is worth putting man's life at risk, otherwise, God would not have allowed free will. Love is far greater than man's, physical or eternal, life.

first of all God does not threaten. He has made it very clear the path to take. If it was a threat, He would not have sent His Son. It is LOVE FOR US that put Jesus on the cross. If it was a threat God would not have needed to send a Savior, He would have put demands on us that we could never fulfill so we would all go to hell. No contradiction here,

No person can threaten another with eternal damnation simply because no person has the power to enforce this judgement. This is a consequence of sin and death that God tries to warn us about but even God does not threaten us. It is God's will that we turn to Him for salvation and His Grace. It is our own decision if we will or not so I for one turn my will and my life over to God because only He can 'SAVE'.

Whose threatening? this is like a game show where you know whats behind the doors. "behind door #1 you have eternal darkness pain and anguish. behind door #2 you have eternal extecy, uncontrollable joy and perpetual revelation not to mention infinite face time with the creator of everything good. Which will you choose” its just kind of funny when people choose door #1 and get mad that people tell them what they've won

You have free will to chose what you believe. It is not a contradiction. God gives you the low down on the plight of man and the position he is in and God has offered you a way out of hell.

Humans have no right to do this. Only God can and if people do not believe in God they will not listen.
Don't fret over it, they don't know the harm they do.
The bible says to judge not lest ye be judged and it is directed at those who claim to believe in the bible and to follow it so when they judge us, they, according to scripture will be judged by the same measure they use. The bible tells them to take care of the pole in their eye so then they can better see to help us with the speck in our eye.

Con-artists/black mailers.
Some Christians use those methods.
Why can't they realize that that's one of the method used in Satanism? Planting fears and using threats? That's the job of the devils(that's what they do).
Very selfish and demanding.
PS: I'm not saying this to all Christians as I did mention the word "some".

God is the only which created us. He despatched his Son to die for us, so as that we ought to attain eternal life. He has set for us regulations and commandments in the Bible, to guard us, purely like specific regulations that governments project out, like wearing seat belts and so on, are for our protection. God is familiar with what's going to injury us or will shield us, very like a discern with a infant. we are in a position to the two pay attention, take heed and worship Him out of affection, or we are in a position to elect our very own course, submit to in suggestions each and every project in life supplies us a decision, worshipping God isn't the only selection we've. God surpassed us regulations and commandments to learn us, to no longer enslave us, or to make us depressing ! He created us, so consequently cares for us ! God would not state that we are going to go through eternal damnation, it truly is a daft misrepresentation of the scriptures ! That coaching comes from people who've misinterpreted scriptures via taking them as literal, as a replace of symbolic. There actually isn't any such place as ''hell''. God would not threaten everyone, I recommend heavily why could He could desire to, as he's the Almighty, we on the different hand are mere specks of airborne dirt and dust in assessment. actually God is incredibly affected person and style, He needs us to get to understand Him, and consequently love Him, and it could be because of the fact of that Love for Him, that we could desire to worship Him, of our very own unfastened will, no longer because of the fact we are compelled to ! you are able to purely love somebody once you already know them. comparable with God. Get to understand His fact . How do we try this, if we've faith each and every of the numerous lies available that are advised approximately Him ? once you already know God, you are going to adore Him, subsequently you will decide to worship Him, and shop on with the occasion of His Son Christ Jesus.

that's simple, that human is freely using his free will to try and convince someone that they will be damned for all eternity.
It is also an exercise of free will when you choose to ignore that said person.
