Can you explain to me?

Question

Freewill is necessary for true love, which cannot be forced or created or it would not be true love. Each entity has control of their intellect the soul to love, hate, desire, contemplate, etc. This freedom of conscious awareness would be disastrous without consequences, hence the law and judgment. Otherwise, who knows how far wickedness develops? In like manner, wickedness and righteousness cannot be forced or created but each entity has conscious freedom, freewill to decide.

For the mystery of iniquity does already work in Satan’s lies and deception. Most people do not accept the love of the truth to avoid discipline and possibly to perish. For this cause, God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. That they all might be punished who believed not the truth, yet not perish.

In comes the Millennium or thousand-year reign of Christ. We no longer reside in flesh bodies and Satan is bound. It is a time of teaching and discipline for they who loved not the truth. God had sent them strong delusion so they would not perish. At the end of the Millennium is the release of Satan to deceive again. Following is judgement or great white throne. For Satan and many, there is the lake of fire, in other words, the second death or non-existence?

God is long suffering, fair, righteous, and loving, desiring that none of His children perish, but come to repentance. Through stupendous methods, God has tried to save His children from the lake of fire. Yet, many will chose eternal death over eternal life.

Why do many choose non-existence?

Answer 1

Why will many choose external death over eternal life? Because of personal arrogance. They have decided THEY will control their own destiny and will not submit their will to God. People can exert their free-will right to refuse to believe the truth of God's word. They've decided THEY will create what is truth to them (in the name of "science" or "common sense") and will not believe what God mandates. Their bottom line: they choose to believe what they create instead of what God commands.

God never forces His plan on people. He is a just God and will allow them the free-will right to choose their own way and He is gentleman enough to allow them to experience it through to the completed course--hence, rejection of God's plan results in eternal death. Their choice.

Answer 2

Think of the perception of existence as in the flavors a tongue can sense:
Bitter
Salty
Sour
Sweet
Umami

Attribute each and a reaction to each.

Such as sweet lies or bitter truth.

existence can be all of the above mostly people choose the easy and the sweet.

Why - painful in the flesh existence is. And non existence better and "sweet fun or pleasure" til then. they have lost hope or no hope so go a way of what they choose.

Quite a few of the folks that walk about the earth choose to error even though they know the truth. These are often agnostic or atheists that know or sense God but are still in full fledged rebellion.

There are others that were so deep in rebellion in the first age God allows them their life here now and these will be taught in the millenia too.

For some of them this life is the only life they will have and this is sad. Hopefully God gives them it fully and richly for it is the only life they will ever know.

Answer 3

I would like to ask what you mean by 'non-existence'?

There is no where in the Word of God that I find the soul of man becoming non-existent. Instead, it is an eternal lake of PUNISHMENT, without quenching by God for eternity that the soul is sent.

That being the case, all should fear God's judgment all the more. A temporary punishment would be acceptable by many of today's blinded minds.

Answer 4

Not really. I DO have a couple of comments, though. First, during the millenium, people WILL die. Those who persist in their sins will be unable to live more than about 100 years, or the same as today. Second, I find it amusing that people here think God made Hell for us. Scripture says that and the Lake of Fire were made for Satan and his angels. People only go there because THEY choose to do so rather than submit their pride to God's Will.

Answer 5

There is nothing that says your system of belief is the correct one as there is no empirical evidence that supports the existence of your deity. So, in my own beliefs I do not choose non-existence, I merely exist as humans have done for many millennium and try to live the best life I can on this earth with the time I have.

Answer 6

There is no such thing as eternal life of any one person. That is nothing but yet another false promise put into the NT by the writers. The entire story is nothing but lies and many filthy jokes as well. The intelligent persons at that time were laughing at the fools who really believed that BS and the same goes on today. I see religion as nothing but scams and those in religion as nothing but fools.

Answer 7

Why is it that this god is not responsible for the situation he created? Why is the responsibility placed on the people who are not in a position to clearly know, of their own accord by means other than being told by other people (who also do not really know but rely on the words of yet other people) what the afterlife consists of, what the nature of the deity is, and what really matters in terms of Earthly behavior.

I do not choose non-existance, but I cannot participate in a religion that does not make moral sense. I'll exist on my own terms. And before you contradict me, remember the judgement is not yours to make.

Answer 8

Maybe it's because of their stubbornness. Because they refuse to have faith and believe in something that they can't actually see as a person in front of their face. Not having a brain is the only other reason I can think of.

Answer 9

One should envision one's Gods as being at least as good as the best human beings. The best of us would not damn people for eternity for an honest difference of opinion or because they liked to drink beer and get laid. The best of us would not set up eternal torment at all. Your God is less worthy than the best of his admittedly very imperfect human creations. I refuse to worship him on moral grounds.

If you ever managed to convince me that Yahweh is running things, I would run, not walk, to the nearest Devil worship group and sign on the dotted line in my blood in a New York minute. I hope that I don't live in a universe where the moral high ground is Devil worship, but if that should prove be the case, I know where my loyalties would lie.

Answer 10

Dress up "choosing hell" however much you want. If you believe in it, and believe in god... then you have to say that GOD MADE HELL.

When mere humans can see that the idea of eternal punishment is not moral... there's something wrong with your idea of god. If he really, truly didn't want ANYONE to go to hell, he'd get rid of hell entirely.
