People reject the true God because he isn't who they want him to be. And no someone simply can't pull out salvation at the last second. That's disingenuous at best. Not that it'd be impossible for someone to turn to faith before they died. But to think it's as simple as saying a few words no. I believe the Holy Spirit is what touches our hearts and minds.

The True God allows his children many opportunities to accept salvation. Now I haven't studied Revelations or the major prophets for years so I can't quote Chapter and Verse but the Judgment Seat will not be at the start of Tribulations nor at the end thereof. It will be at the end of this Thousand Your Kingdom. During Tribulations there will 144,000, 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel along with a couple of the Major Prophets who will be protected by God and will preach salvation. By the end of Tribulations many will have been saved and enter the Kingdom. Those still rejecting the Lord will be cast into the bottomless pit where they have one final chance to repent before the start of the Eternity. Those in the Pit will be brought before the Judgment Seat and any that still reject the Lord will then be cast into the Eternal Lake of Fire, HELL.

A God that demands justice does not seem unreasonable to me. Would a Judge that lets a thief and murderer free because he claims he's a good person be a good judge?

God does not demand justice and any church that preaches that is a false religion. The True God is just and loving and asks only love in return. "
John 3:16

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Hey, I'm not trying to change anyone's mind and that includes you. I've seen the good that religion can do. RESPECT.


PS - I'm always open to change and being proven wrong. And that includes God.

I'm glad to hear that. I will pray for you friend.

See, I want to believe in that. I'd wake up every morning in a much better mood.

I get your point but that's not entirely true. Our values are formed in many ways, including our parents that raised us. That's why many killers were raised by abusive parents.

That's where critical thinking come to play. I don't believe everything my parents did. I have formed my own opinions. And I never forced my opinions on my son, he is his own person and quite capable of forming his own opinions.

Unless you do something he doesn't like. He will burn your city, turn you to salt or flood the earth to teach you a lesson.
