@divegeester saidSo that's your reply to this? "Satan uses force to influence, but God does not."
What nonsense is this. What about most of the OT characters?
The "force" Satan uses are lies and deception to cause one to turn away from God to himself. It's a simple truth of the Bible.
God does not force anyone to believe in Him, but instead implores one to choose to receive from Him eternal life. God doesn't force anyone against their will, but Satan does by use of the lie.
I don't know what your reference to "OT characters" has to do with it. It tells me though how easily and quickly you lose and misinterpret the context of the posts you reply to.
