Option 1 You are forced forever to be with God
Option 2 You are forced forever to be separated from God
Option 3 You are given the choice to spend forever away from Him or to spend forever with Him.
This assumes he exists I know that. If you don't want to make that assumption then don't answer. But. For the sake of the question assume that he exists. If this is the case then those are the only three options open for a loving God.

please note that I am talking about the verb love and not the noun. I also would like to here from those that are not religious as well.
Thanks

option three.
It is never love if it is forced.

There cannot be only three options. You are existing away from Him now, aren't you? Is your current situation a result of one of the three options?
If you are existing away from Him now, then option 1 has to be eliminated immediately.
Option 3 would have to assume that you have already made the choice to spend forever away from Him, since you are not with Him. In that case, it was your own choice, and He loved you enough to let you make it.
Option 2 assumes that God has already made the decision to force an eternal separation, since, again, you are not with Him. In that case, do you think God loves you?

Option 3.

Option 3 is the only one that is consistent with a loving, just God. God doesn't "force" anyone to do anything. He has always given us a choice to be with Him or without Him. But it's unfortunate that so many people choose to be without Him - which means perishing, since God IS Life, so one cannot continue to exist without Him.

Option 3... God gave us free will, the first time we sinned we chose to be seperated from God. but through Jesus Christ, we can spend eternity with him.

I think that love comes with a choice. I chose to be with God forever. I am connecting with Him here too.

Option 3, since it is reality and God is love.
When the time comes for us to depart from these earthbound vessels our choice has been made.

Obviously option 3. It isn't love if its forced on you.

Option 3, the 'love' isn't forced.
However, you can't exactly fall in love with god, and he doesn't fall in love with anyone either..I'm just saying.
Cheers!
