i would prefer to be a robot without feelings and do what you're meant to do rather than be given a choice and suffer the consequences if you do otherwise which is usually what is more tempting!

i understand how you feel. Everything we do has a consequence. But God is more powerful than you can imagine and He is able to save us at times we need His help. God created man in his own image and likeness. Why did God created us? He created us because He want someone to love and that is us, humans. God doesn't need robots because what He need is someone who can love Him back. God did not intend to punish us but He also punishes those who are wicked. How, when and where did sin started? Satan, who was once a beautiful angel of God started to sin when He desired to be like God (pride was born on his heart). Man was also deceived by the devil and joined Satan's rebellion against God. (1 John 1:9) says that If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Regarding the consequences of our sin, i should say that all things happen in our lifetime is temporary. What we should be after is eternity.
I can be your friend and you can ask me just anything i could possibly answer. please add me as friend and you can also send me a private message

lol! pride was not born in lucifer's heart. it crept into him from an outer source! sometimes i think it is logical that jealousy originally came from god and to think that until now, god is still jeaolus if you do not choose him.
this supports my theory that god is both good and bad. 50% good, 50% evil. he perfected the combination while us humans are still working on it...
bwa ha ha ha!~
and take note, luficer is just one of the vitims of whatever god wants to do. like pharaoh. have you noticed that god has to HARDEN his heart not to allow the israelites? poor guy... in the end, his son has to die!
i am sure, pharaoh would have let the israelites go if only god did not have to harden his heart!

Yeah, I understand how you feel. I used too feel the same way too. Just being afraid to go to hell or do something wrong. But now, I understood why gave us free will. God gave us free will because He is love. Without freedom, there will be no love. He gave freedom because He so much want to show how much He loves us. He showed this through the cross. Now, just repent and all your sins will be forgiven, your sins in the past, present and future.

Welcome to mylot. May you have the exciting and educational experience I am having at mylot.
I am speaking from the perspective of a born-again Christian. God gave us free will so we could choose whether to follow Him or to not follow Him. I enjoy the challenges of my emotions. I enjoy the Hugs I get from friends. I enjoy the love of my husband and other family and friends. Do I enjoy sadness? I know it is for a purpose, I am being prepared for something by God. Robot, NOPE, human with free will and emotions, YES
Prosperous mylotting

hmmmn. in christian belief, i remember that after judgment and you go to heaven, the existence of evil will be eradicated. do you think you will still have a choice of choosing between good and evil? of right and wrong?
in the end, freewill does not matter. i am questioning why does it matter now?

Once again, welcome.
Once I get to the judgment seat of Christ and heaven, you are on target. Existence for those of us in heaven will be eradicated. There will be no choice, only happiness and a new body. There will nothing but right,
Freewill matters now so I can make a decision to accept and serve Jesus here on earth. Some people will get the message and not accept it. Others will not get the message. I got the message and am engrained in behavior patterns.I love the skills I have been taught and know I am in the Lamb's book of Life. I know I will have eternal life in heaven.
That is a choice (free will) that I have chosen. Did I answer your questions?
God bless you
Prosperous mylotting

Hi hi hi. well good luck dearie. i also believe that whatever one believes, that is what happens. so if you believe in heaven and hell, then you will have them. the buddhist will have their incarnate life.
as for me, i will join the universal energy where i used to exist. so no need to worry about judgment and people you love going to hell.

I will never wish to be a robot.
In spite of all the sufferings and sadness in life,i still prefer to be human than a robot.
The feelings and emotions to love and be loved,to hurt and be hurt that makes my life exciting and full of surprises.
And i will never ever trade it no matter what it may costs.
Have a good day always

I wouldn't trade human emotion and feelings for being a robot that's for sure. I would rather have a mind and a choice and freedom. If I was a robot I couldn't tell you if I would rather be human cause I wouldn't be able to think about it.
