Default Re: If God Gave Every Individual Human Free Will

God actively created humans knowing they would end up in hell, so he's not off the hook even by that standard.

Just out of curiousity... If you were a parent, and you knew ahead of time that one of your 2 children would go to jail for life... would you abort them both?

As a matter of fact, I would.

Of course, we shouldn't continue talking about this, because obviously you only asked out of curiosity and would never have stumbled into such a fallacy as thinking this situation is remotely analogous to anything we're discussing.

then how is it they every one, including those not yet born, must necessarily deserve to go to hell? If it is beyond the capacity of a human to behave sinlessly or however would be necessary to get into heaven without a "pardon", then humans don't have free will.

Well if you decide to be a sodomite and you get AIDS, would you complain that you don't have free will or the law is unjust or whatever? (law of god against homosexuality. remember we're in that paradigm.)

True god made some things possible but he told us not to do them.

As to hell, that's a religious doctrine not found in the bible as far as eternal torment and stuff.

Oh no, of course not. (I just like to ask random questions from time to time.)
