“LOL, what do you care about God’s word - Jesus calls something His “greatest commandment,” and you deny its status”

I never did any such thing. What I argue is that your logic, if it were true, would nullify that commandment, since it would be impossible for any of us to love God, if we were being forced to do so under duress. That’s exactly what you are proposing, when you said that nobody could reject God’s love. If we cannot reject it, then we cannot accept it willingly either, which makes us incapable of loving Him at all, since only love freely given is actually love.

Now, can you stop trying to evade the simple question and just answer it? When the Bible says that the devil will be cast into the lake of fire and tormented for ever and ever (in whatever translation you choose, it will read much the same I expect), do you reject that statement from God, in favor of your own human suppositions?

If you try and dance around that question again, I’ll just have to assume you reject the word of God as an authority, in which case we don’t have anything left to discuss.

Free will is not more precious than God’s love. God’s love is infinitely desirable. To experience it and not choose it is an act of mental illness, not free will - like “choosing” to eat sh!t instead of food. You cling to madness as a justification to reject the love of God. You don’t even hear what you are saying.

So you just keep going on worshipping scribblings about Satan, and thinking them equal status to Jesus’teachings about the infinite power of God’s love.

Because hey, all the teachings are equal, right?

Like I said, I pity you. You’ve thrown away the water of life for dust.

Go worship your precious chosen words about Satan, I could care less.
