Christians say that God gives us free-will, but if we use it, we go to Hell!
If we choose God, we are OK... If we choose anything else, we die!
WOW! What a great GOD!

Dude, go where ever your free will takes you already and stop complaining. LOL

That's just Christianity's way of staying close-minded and ignorant, and trying to get the rest of the world to do the same.
It's a scare-tactic that they use to get people to convert. Didn't work for me and my free will.
btw, there is no such thing as god or hell. Those are just more scare tactics.

Why the sarcasm? This is like anything else in life. We have choices, and some of our choices have negative consequences. We can either choose to follow Christ, or we can choose not to. The negative consequence of choosing not to follow Christ is eternal seperation from God. No puzzle here.

My son has free will. When he dose the wrong thing I punish him. This is God's world. He made it. So he gets to set up the rules.

Because God has determined that eternal torture is a just punishment for exercising his gift of free will.

Deeds are either obligatory, recommendable, or acts of disobedience. Regarding the obligatory deeds, the servants- of God- practice them under God's order, will, satisfaction, knowledge, and arrangement. Hence, they save themselves - from God's punishment - through carrying out such obligatory deeds. The recommendable deeds are not God's order, yet they are done under His will, satisfaction, knowledge, and arrangement. As the servants act such deeds, they are rewarded for them. Regarding the acts of disobedience (to God), they are done not for God's order, will, and satisfaction. Yet, they are done under His knowledge and arrangement. He arranges their times but the servants commit them optionally; therefore, God punishes them for committing such acts of disobedience. This is because God has warned the servants against them, but they did not obey.

No, you can use your free-will to make good decisions or bad ones. The choice, and the consequences or benefits are yours.
