OK. But where's the context?
You echo what I said, and then deliver an axiom.
My post above was written in direct reply to your statements previous. There was a correlation between my points and yours.
But now you're drifting off into some ethereal zone in an attempt to run and hide from the truth.
And I'm the bad guy!
My reply was a direct reply to your post. You have displayed much anger towards me and frequently that is a reaction of seeing something which exists within yourself and you feel driven to deny that by attacking whoever is displaying that which is part of yourself. I was simply suggesting that you engage in introspection.

Truthfully. With your wit and obvious intelligence, can you imagine what you and God could do if you teamed up? Think of all the souls saved to eternal life through faith in Christ if you would simply stop resisting His will.

This yearning for eternal life is childish in the extreme.

Same thing human parents want from their children: objectivity,

teachability, acceptance of authority, respect and obedience.

God "wants" for nothing. He is self-sufficient, in need of nothing for fulfillment. God wills plenty, however.

It states in the Holy Bible "as if God needeth anything", to which clarifies regardless if one were to make their bed in hell, HE IS still there (Psalm 139 ~King James Version~ Vs. 7-10), for HE IS all that ACTUALLY ever could be.. God desires all to return to HIM, meaning all free from the bondage man has been captive to for the past 6,000 yrs. due to sin (ignorance), to which is Peter's RESPONSIBILITY to loosen all that which is bound (Matthew 16:1-21 ~King James Version~ Vs. 18,19), UNIVERSAL SALVATION, known as "The great Awakening"...

Apparently God wants people to die refusing blood transfusions. That's not mentally ill at all...

Well, there indeed is a very good example of Medieval scholasticism.

Oh excuse us for exercising our own consciences, i see National Socialism is still alive and well!

take it back to the proper thread Spanky or shall we add hijacking to your list of misdemeanours? , for you have some unfinished business there or did you think to slink away like a bushy tailed fox, slyly covering your tracks, after which i will take confession and offer you absolution, depending of course on whether you show a repentant spirit.

This is what God wants,

(2 Peter 3:9) . . .Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.

I assume by your question you assume God exists?
