Page 354 … accepting the gracious Gift
“If we will not accept the gracious gift of life through the Son, we have rejected the gift of life with the Father. So, what is this law that would condemn someone to Hell, and is it just? The law of free will is simply this: Those who will not live with God, shall not live with God.”
Fair enough, my Friend, and yet what of those who are born gay and are merely fulfilling the inclinations that God gave them? … And what of those who quite reasonably choose to believe in the gods of their places of birth &/or familiar heritage? … And what of those who simply walk another Love-based spiritual path that serves many and harms no one? … And what of those who have examined the evidence and come to the logical conclusion that there is no Hell at all (and thus have no chance to choose to go there)? … And what of those who arrive in Hell and then wish to exercise their free will and amend their obvious mistake? Will God truly close the door on these Souls for eternity merely for using the logical capabilities that He gave them in the first place? If not, if God truly is a God of perfect Love as Jesus claims, then there will be Justice & there will be Mercy & there will be Forgiveness for all sinners – homosexuals included – and this, whether you like it or not! And if so, if your are correct and God will not grant sinners their morally due reprieve, then once again all you have done herein is prove & affirm your allegiance to an evil God.
And yet the Bible itself gives you an alternative, my dear Friend – namely, the Father of Jesus Christ and The Way that he came to show you!
“As you go, proclaim this Good News: ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is [already] at hand … And because of the increase of lawlessness, the Love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures [in Love] to the end will be saved.’ And this Good News of the Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world — and then the end will come … Be perfect [in LOVE] therefore, just as [the LOVE] of your Father in Heaven is perfect … Be merciful towards all others, just as your heavenly Father is merciful.” ~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 10:7 + Matthew 24:12-14 & Matthew 5:48 & Luke 6:36)
