[[Still sounds psychotic to me.]]

Yes- you’re right- A parent warnign their child abotu danger is just being psychotic-

[[A parent who offers such a choice would, to my way of thinking, be a psychotic or drunken bully.]]

It’s called free will sir- A parent can extend free will to their child by giving a warnign such as “Don’t touch the stove, or you’ll get burned, OR, a parent can be a dictator and force their child to act and behave agaisnt their will in every situation. You love your freedom, but complain about the results of your choice in the end?

There would b3 no TRUE love IF God simply made everyone choose and love Him- Yet He gave us free will to do as we please- BUT that doesn’t mean He should refrain from giving warnings just because You don’t think them comfortable, and it doesn’t make Him psychotic for giving hte warnigns well in advance. The fact is that sin can NOT enter heaven because of God’s Holiness, and God has given you and I a way to have our sins forgiven IF we so choose to accept willingly- Don’t blame God for the choices you make- He isn’tforcing you to do anything- He has simply told you how things must be, how to escape the punishments of your own sin, and what you do with the info is entirely up to you.
