Not only does God love everyone, but he forgives everyone too.

Well not really, he may love everyone, but the christian god is only willing to forgive anyone who meets his criteria for forgiveness. He does not automatically forgive anyone. There is a significant difference.cody_the_genius said:Not only does God love everyone, but he forgives everyone too.

Eran of Arcadia said:No no no, He didn't **** up at all, it only looks that way if we refuse to look at the whole plan from His perspective and insist that only ours is correct. In the eternal scheme of things, everything is going as planned.

Mr. Dictator said:so your saying that the more good deeds i do i get more God Points (GP) and i eventually level up to the level required to get into heaven?
Eran of Arcadia said:Oh, I know what the plan is, or at least the basic outline, which is enough. The problem is that most people don't accept my sources as valid, which makes sense for them but also makes it harder for people to understand me.
The upshot is that to grow spiritualy, and thus to better experience joy and God's love, we need to make decisions on our own, thus free will. The flipside of free will is that inevitably some people will make bad decisions, ie evil. Also, we experience suffering that isn't the result of anyone's free will because to endure it helps us grow. So the world may seem messed up, but overall on the whole the human race benefits from it.
blackheart said:How will that help improve the world though?
