Im not so sure about our free will…mainly because there seems to be punishments for making the ‘wrong choice’ as in choosing NOT to include God in your life, or to worship him, IMO, as long as a person is a good person, does not harm others, helps other people, and generally does good deeds, that person should not be sent to hell just because they chose not to have a relationship with their creator…if we have true free will, that should be fine if thats the way they want to live.
Plus, when God created us, we are immortal beings with immortal souls, so when he gave us free will, this is eternal as well, there would be no reason to give someone free will that is immortal, but then say, oh, btw, you can only use this for a very short time, then once you die, you dont have it anymore.
I also ponder why God is so demanding about him being worshiped by mankind, this trait does not sound like the God/ Jesus in the bible, it sounds more like a power hungry ruler who desires everyone to bow at his feet, or they get sent to a terrible place for eternity. Where is the love and grace in that?
