Freewill - Tumblr Posts

To quote one of my favorite Rush songs:

"If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."

Anyway, vote, dammit. And enjoy the tunes while you're at it.

You know I used to think "tumblr's absolute refusal to actually engage with the Trolley Problem in favor of insisting that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is just a short-sighted idiot is really fucking annoying, but I guess it's not actually doing any harm".

Anyway that was before we asked tumblr at large to decide between "guy aiding a genocide but making progress elsewhere" and "guy who would actively and enthusiastically participate in a genocide and would also make everything else much, much worse for everyone elsewhere" and the response was that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and that anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is a short-sighted idiot.

The #1 objection that people have about God, The Bible, and Christianity is “How can a so-called 'God of Love' send anyone to Hell?!?” Fair question, and the answer is found in this future prophecy found in Revelation.

According to the Bible, a time is coming called the 'Great Tribulation' when the world will be taken over by a world leader called the Anti-Christ. He will demand that people accept a mark (known in both the Bible and popular culture as '666') on their right hand or forehead, but if you re-read today’s verse, doing so is a decision made by the recipient. Those that CHOOSE to accept the mark will save their lives and be able to “buy and sell” (Revelation 13:17) but those that choose NOT to take the mark according to revelation account cannot and are persecuted and/or killed. Jesus put it this way:

“ Whosoever shall seek to save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose it, shall preserve it.” Luke 17:33

The Bible says that those that make the DECISION to 'save their life' and take the 666 mark seal their fate for eternity, and are cast into a place of eternal punishment (Matthew 25:41) But let’s forget about this so-called mark for a moment, and look at what you perhaps choose to NOT believe right now.

Jesus in NOT the Lord, he did NOT raise from the dead, and Jesus is NOT the only way to heaven (that is if there is one) and if there even is a heaven, being a 'good person' is good enough to get in. Either that or there is no god, so none of this religious nonsense matters anyway. Those may be your choices – and you have every right to believe them. But in one sense; like the people in Revelation, you’ve put down your own marker to live your life YOUR way.

This CHOICE is an intersection that you face that goes beyond life or death – this is a matter of your eternal life or eternal death. You can dismiss this as religious fanaticism if you choose - or it could just be true. Either way, the Bible says this well when it says:

“But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve.” Joshua 24:15

What is your CHOICE?

The #1 issue that people say that causes them to refuse the Gospel message is:

I can’t Believe in ANY so-called 'Loving god' That would send anyone to Hell!”

…and You’re Right! NEITHER DO I.

Let’s correct one of the biggest lies that has been successfully put out there and that is - (and this is a biggie…)

God doesn’t send ANYONE to Hell. YOU CHOOSE to GO to HELL!

WHAT, You Say?!?

That’s right!! You see, the Bible actually says that God does not desire that any people perish in Hell but that everyone be saved (2 Peter 3:9) and as Jesus said in today’s scripture, Hell was NEVER INTENDED for people, but for evil angels. But here’s the thing - you can choose to be WITH GOD or NOT BE with God. He does not want - nor will he will force anyone - to be with Him for eternity. So if you don’t like the offer of forgiveness and eternal life which is totally free for the asking, NO PROBLEM! It IS YOUR CHOICE.

You can choose to reject salvation and believe what you want to believe about who God is and how you think he really operates, or as today’s scripture says you can be on his LEFT HAND and you can have what you say.

Friend, please listen. This is not some sort of imaginary game. We ALL will leave this earth one day, the question is where, and the answer is simply where you CHOOSE to go, not where God chooses to send you. Will you choose God’s offer of forgiveness and love today?

Everyone —and everything — has an end date.

For students it’s the end of the semester, for workers the end of the week, in business the end of the quarter, and for all of us the end of each year — until the clock starts again.

However at a certain point the clock stops for everyone, and each minute we all move one step closer to eternity.

Eternity is a place beyond time, without end and of infinite duration, and as today’s scripture reminds us, our time on this side of a rapidly diminishing clock is running out, and it is time to wake up to the reality about God’s salvation that will take you beyond time into HIS ETERNITY.

Friend, this is indeed URGENT. You are being invited to God’s freely offered salvation — and No Pun Intended — this truly is the ultimate 'Limited Time Offer' and once it passes, it passes.

Will you make a decision in this hour about salvation, or will you let your time expire without making a choice?
