Yeah, urroner likens God to a tyrant and tries to make a point. It’s really weird.

My God isn’t a tyrant, is yours?

They don’t grasp the absolute holiness of God. Thinking they can be ‘worthy’ on their own shows that.

No, the point of the story is not to like God to a tyrant. You said that you didn’t see a problem where my ancestors from 6,000 years didn’t know anything about a gift that God wanted to give them and that without accepting this gift, they couldn’t be saved. And it’s not only about rejecting the gift, but, since it was a book of Differential Equations, I pretty sure that the pre-Kers, who probably could even read, wouldn’t be able to begin to understand what the gift entailed.

I was pointing out the problem with you not seeing the problem.

I believe that God gives everybody a chance to accept or reject His gospel, in this life or next life, before the final judgment day and He also makes sure that they know what they are not accepting. Also, will God punish me for not being able to understand a free gift that I had accepted.

I apologize for not pointing something I thought was obvious.

So, in a nutshell, will God:
A. Punish people for not accepting the free gift they never knew existed or didn’t know where to find it?
B. Punish people from not using the free gift because they didn’t understand the free gift?
C. Think that it’s a problem if we don’t think A and/or B are/is problem(s)?
