[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue is not being made or forced to believe in God, by God, but of God making it easy or natural to believe in him.

Instead, it seems like it's natural to some, but very difficult or impossible for others. in Some cases, parents trying very hard, can't make it happen.

THis is free will, I suppose -- but it seems like free will to go to hell -- which doesn't seem like a very good option for a loving God to provide.[/quote]
15:14 here again. You have a good point. But it all depends on your idea of Hell. I don't think Hell is a physical place, I think it is existing outside of the presence of God. Not the traditional Christian belief, and I am ok with that. As for free will, God avails himself to us, but sometimes our misperceptions of God is what blocks us from having that authentic relationship. We take other people's misinterpretation of God's word and try to relate to that and it has us all messed up and wondering why we don't see Him in our lives. I say you have to continually seek Him and he will make Himself known to you.

Again, it seems like God is making it hard --"you have to continually seek him"  -- why? and how do you know that?  It seems quite easy for some people to know that God is with them.  It seems personality-based more than anything else.[/quote]

The way I see it is that we don't have to continually seek Him but by doing so gives us a deeper understanding and a deeper peace. God is God and is going to go on with or without me trying to connect to Him, but it is what He wants and I benefit from the relationship.[/quote]
