It’s funny how many people seem to worship the concept of free will, insisting that God wants men to choose him willingly. This in spite of the fact that God COMMANDS men to love Him. According to Jesus (Matthew 22:36-40) the greatest commandment is that we love God with all of our heart, with all our soul and all our mind. This isn’t a request, or a suggestion; it’s a command.
God commands everyone to love Him, and He promises destruction for those who do not. And yet man deludes himself into thinking that God bows to the “free will” of man? How absurd.
Rather, God gives DIRECTIVES, which is another word for COMMANDS, which is ONE AND THE SAME.
