This is the will of God\n\n\n2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.\n\n1Ti 2:3 For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; \n1Ti 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

The only PERFECT human being was Christ- We should all strive to be that way even though we fall short it is a goal the faithful strive for so PERFECT= Christlike in my book!\n \nThe only way to fail is to never try!

Romans 9:13-16\nJust as it is written: "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."\n What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! For he says to Moses, \n   "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, \n      and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy.\n\nEph 1:11\nIn him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,\n\nMatt 24:31\nAnd he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his ELECT from the four winds, from one end of the \nheavens to the other.\n\nFree will is never mention in the Bible.  Election and predestination are though.

I think that's a really good question. If I accept the premise that God cannot ask us to do anything that is not moral, then that implies there is a morality independent of Him. On the other hand, if I accept the position that I must do whatever God wants me to do, then I have no way to ascertain whether God is asking me to do right or wrong - I must simply do what He says.

Romans 12:1 Consequently I entreat YOU by the compassions of God, brothers, to present YOUR bodies a sacrifice living, holy, acceptable to God, a sacred service with YOUR power of reason. 2 And quit being fashioned after this system of things, but be transformed by making YOUR mind over, that YOU may prove to yourselves the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

God has always been more than fair if you look back through the Bible.  Even still people do evil things and can be forgiven by just simply asking.  Yes, this is how we want things in my opinion.

Give me one example of anything in the Christian religion being good.

I believe that worshiping God is worshiping good. \n\nAs a hypothetical, I love the spirit of your idea, but who would decide what good is?\n\nHaven't you ever known well-intentioned people who really have no appropriate sense of boundaries?  They think they're doing good.  They're going to help you if it kills you both....\n\nThe problem, as I see it, is that what is good is largely subjective.  That's one reason we need law.  \n\nAnd then there's the issue of enforcing "good."   Who would do that?\n\nIf everyone were moral and good, this world would be a better place.  We wouldn't need saving if we could reach perfection on our own.

Yes, I think God is highly admirable.\n\nIn the account of Pharaoh's resistance to letting the children of Israel go, it is very important to note that there were several times that Pharaoh heardened his own heart.  So finally, God did what we do at times with our own children.  When they continue to be stubborn over and over about something, sometimes we just say, "Okay, since you refuse to obey, you go ahead and do what you have repeatedly insisted you want to do, but realize that you will have to suffer the consequences."  Pharaoh was warned by Moses of exactly what would happen (the death of his firstborn and of the firstborn of every Egyptian family).\n\nPharaoh had heardened his own heart so many times, God finally judicially hardened Pharaoh's heart, which is what Pharaoh wanted anyway.  \n\nAs a result of Pharaoh's steadfast beligerance, he suffered the consequences, and unfortuntely since he was the honored leader, his followers had to suffer, also.  But if, in the end, this suffering resulted in their realization/acknowledgement of the truth, that the God of the Israelites was both loving and merciful to His beloved followers, and they accepted this great God as their God also, it would have been worth it.  Some did, indeed do this, and countless millions have done it since, never to regret being a child of God of whom the Bible says, "God is love".\n\nDuring the Israelites journey, there were times that they lost focus and became angry at Moses and God and were disobedient to Moses and to God, yet here is how God responded to them over and over again:  "But they and our fathers acted proudly, hardened their necks, and did not heed your commandments.  They refused to obey, and they were not mindful of your sonders that you did among them.  But they hardened their necks, and in their rebellion, they appointed a leader to return to their bondage.  BUT YOU ARE GOD, READY TO PARDON, GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL, SLOW TO ANGER, ABUNDANT IN KINDNESS, AND DID NOT FORSAKE THEM" (Nehemiah 9:16&17).\n\nOne more verse (out of many) describing the beautiful character of God:  "The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and great in mercy.  The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works" (Psalm 145:8&9).

God gave man a free will, we have the right to choose good or evil.

I commend you for wanting to do the right thing. I think God will lead you to know which is right. And don't forget, whatever you give ABOVE the tithe is your OFFERING. Malachi 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me, But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

James 1.27 tells us:\n\n"Pure and genuine religion that is acceptable to God our Father is this: to visit the orphans and widows in their need and suffering, and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."

Well, I see it like this: God's will was already established both the good and the bad. But we are floating around with a choice to become either Judas Iscariot or Peter. Both were choosen to be Apostles, both sinned against God, however, only one of them chose to repent with godly sorrow and not just because he got caught like Judas did. People always say, was Judas predestined to go to hell? No, I don't think so, I believe God's will is predestined not the people that will choose themselves what part they want to play. So, predestination for those who don't want to receive Jesus because they think it will just fall on them are wrong. Proof of what I just said can be found in Deut 28, where he set before us both blessings and cursings, see the plan is set, but what part of the plan you'll be in is entirely up to you,thus, your freedom to choose! God bless you girl!
