You keep preaching "we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ" how is your freewill involved in that?
God GAVE them repentance ... you say they chose it of their own freewill
If you acknowledge it was God's free gift of grace to you it will make you gentle to everyone "oh that they may receive the mercy as you have" that will be your mind.
You won't be crowing about how you chose to be saved and flaunting it to sinners and saying "you chose your bed now lie in"
Which is how christians treat outsiders. See? it's a different mindset.
““
Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?
As for
everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like.
They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but
could not shake it, because it was well built.
But
the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house,
it collapsed and its destruction was complete.””
Luke 6:46-49 NIV
I’m sorry you think there’s no option Gods offering it if you would listen to his word
If that’s too complex look at james summary
“Therefore, get
rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.
Do not merely listen to the word, and so
deceive yourselves. Do what it says.”
James 1:21-22 NIV
to be clear regarding judgement
if we don’t have a choice then this is not just
““Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out—
those who have done what is good will rise to live,
and
those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.”
John 5:28-29 NIV
God doesn’t force them to do evil and then blame them for it and then punish them for it . He’s holding them accountable for what they did
thats the point , God has been clear from the start oit good and evil and the consequences of both He’s also made clear this
“Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is
the duty of all mankind.
For
God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.”
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 NIV
Doesn’t matter if it was then or now
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that
each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.”
2 Corinthians 5:10 NIV
you don’t understand why I quoted that lol ? God didn’t make anyone do evil and then blame and punish them as if it’s all thier fault . Your theory creates a sadistic diety who randomly cussed evil then made many serve evil then he blames them for it then he punished them with horrible fire as if it was thier fault for doing the evil …..that’s simply not the God of the Bible our zgod tells people the truth and the results of both good and evil and the results then he says
choose like this
“This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live”
Deuteronomy 30:19
just like Adam he places him in Eden with the tree of life , and the tree of death and earned him not to choose death .
thats how God is and why all it requires of man is to hear what he’s saying and believe him like this for instance
“I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”
Luke 13:3 NIV
arhat can save
a believer , but it doesn’t help the one who rejects it as not true or relevant . It’s the savior telling believers how to not perish we can either reject it being proud , or accept it being believers of him
but I think you are just upset or something honestly I’m here to talk about what the Bible says not argue about whether a man can choose to do good or evil that’s elementary
