It would be a better system than eternal damnation because your god can not give us clear evidence it exists, and has no power over Satan playing games with us.

Since we as mortals can only see our little world. God sees billions of lives, before, now and after that his decisions will affect. I say God chose correctly in every instance.

So what happens is the very people you care about are repelled by the message.
Pure and simple.

Ask someone once if they know about 'whatever' you want--- that is doing something - if they're not interested -
9xs outta 10 they intentionally left their beliefs long ago...and know
more about the Bible than your average bear.
If they are interested you will know.

Look at your 3 sentence post --nothing about the joy and freedom Christ is all about---
only about their perishing ... eternally, no less.
Not a draw...it's a turn off. Not what Jesus wanted.

The world has always rejected Jesus and what he taught. They killed him. There are 2 sides to every coin--The teachings of entering Gods kingdom, or perishing with this world are the 2 sides brought by Jesus.

Lets see--listen to you or listen to Jesus-Luke 10, acts 20:20-- I will listen to Jesus. Those that do not want to hear should not be in a religious board. That is the solution. There is NO freedom of religion with God or his son, its satans plan. I use my free will the way I want, God gave us all that right. Most choose in error by following the world.

As a mere mortal, you can only see your little world.

1. You listen to anyone you want. But give other people the freedom of choice as well.

2. This is a forum about religion, not a praise forum. If you want a praise forum, go up to the christianity sub-forum.

3. So, Jesus is a dictator. Glad you clarified that.

4. Personally, I feel that what you preach is Satan's plan...presuming there is a Satan...or god.

Except if we as mortals can only see our little world, you can not claim your god sees billions of lives, before, now and after that his decisions will affect.

Which is it? We can only see our little world, or YOU SOMEHOW KNOW your god sees billions of lives, before, now and after that his decisions will affect?



Are you just inventing this as you go along?

Just like you reject Muhammad? Or that Chinese god that kills his enemies by eructation?

Which Jesus. The one that says he is God, the one that says he is the son of God, or the one who says he is the son of a god that is not Yahweh?

And this is just from the NT.
