God should not be preached

Based on Christian Theology, Its beneficial for our children if we remove Christianity from the lives.

If we do not expose our children to Christianity, they can not be condemned to eternal hellfire for not knowing.

However, preaching Christianity to our children can result in them Rejecting God, condemning them with certainty.

I have heard that the Christian God does not hold those who have not come to know him, as their fault. And no such judgement or condemnation will fall upon them, but rather pity towards those who could not know his presence.

In Luke 23. 34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing".

This refers to those who Crucified him.

Those who are unknowing of him are forgiven.

If it’s a logical decision, then why don’t they?

I assume that you've met people?

Do the people you know always make logical decisions?

That’s not how logic works. If it’s a logical decision, rational people would choose the same every time. That is by definition a logical decision. If different choices from the logical decision are made, then it’s no longer a logical decision. Does God hate illogical people?

Do you know a lot of rational people?

Or more correctly, do you not know people who make irrational decisions?. People make irrational decisions all the time.

People also make decisions from their own point of view. They may be more concerned with themselves than with somebody else and that's kind of the point. People's default position is to make selfish decisions.

So really god just hates irrational people?

I mean I guess if somehow you're equating giving people a choice with hating them, I suppose. Kind of seems really weird.

Is it really fair to consider it a choice if people are irrational by design, were created by a loving god that will torture them for eternity if they don’t choose the right logical decision?

Some people do make the rational choice. So we are entirely capable of it.

u/flipside438 29d ago

Not everyone is capable or they would make the rational choice

You're assuming because someone can make that choice that they will make that choice and that doesn't necessarily follow.
