HD to stfassisi: I would submit to you that hell is the ONLY place there is free will. Beings will be totally free to live in utter torment apart from God

stfassisi to HD: That would be partial free will. In Hell you cannot LOVE...

It is really shocking to see how some separated Christians have been fooled, seeing heaven as "servitude" and Hell as "freedom."

There is nothing free about hell; no one wants to be there!

I agree. The idea that someone has to go to Hell to have a free will is mind boggling to me.

BTW, I was not being serious about the partial free will thing.

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. The rich man (in the Rich Man and Lazarrus story) never asked to be removed from hell, only that his thirst would be quenched.
