In this thread Believing In God While Hating Him - Great Debates - Straight Dope Message Board ,
Curtis LeMay asked
Here I will ask the same question with a major change-
Yes, the God in question is Yahweh of the Hebrew Bible, Who is also the Triune God of the Christian Bible, which means that Jesus is The Unique Eternal Son/Word-made-flesh.
Yes, the Bible turns out to be an accurate recounting of the words & deeds & standards of Yahweh/Jesus- including the Deluge, the plagues, the slaughter of the Canaanites, etc. with a big re-interpretation…
The Eternal Destiny of each individual is their own free full-knowledge choice.
At the Judgment, you are shown-
-why God permits evil, both the big historical events & the ones which plague individual lives,
-how God intended & could have & could still turn everything each person has suffered for their ultimate good,
-every instance in your life where God revealed Himself to you & you resisted that revelation…
and your choices of Eternal Destiny are these-
enjoy Eternal Life in harmony with & worship of God, with an eternity of learning about what has happened & exploring/developing the Universe ahead of you
or refuse to live in harmony with & worship of God in which case you may choose
-to quickly or slowly fade out of existence with no chance of return,
-to exist eternally defying God in the face of His undeniable existence with no external punishments inflicted on you at all, just the unrelenting Presence of God & being surrounded by His worshippers who are constantly evangelizing you
as you always have the object of surrendering to & embracing Him.
Does any of this change the situation or would you still hope to be part of the Resistance?
