“First, a free gift must be accepted.”
Well of course is doesn’t have to be accepted. But a “gift” is one thing, paying for everyone’s sins is another.
If someone goes to all those I owe money to, and pays those depts, I don’t have to do a thing to be free of those debt.
If someone offers to pay those debts if I make some act of “acceptance,” then it is not free.
“God doesn’t want to torment you.”
Huh? Does not your God claim to be omnipotent? Why would he do something he does not want to?
No, do not answer. I’m sorry I brought it up. I’m not trying to convince you. Perhaps you’ll understand why I cannot ascribe to Christian doctrine. It does not mean you have to agree with my reasons.
I wish you well in everything.

Ah, Hank. You give up to soon. If you wrestle with God, hold ‘em by the ankle.
