@Greatest I am cv,
Thanks for the discussion.
Quote:We are all destined for heaven. In this we have no choice.
There is no Biblical evidence for that. The bible teaches opposite. That some will not go to heaven.
Quote:As to the destruction of earth. Why. It too is perfect for us.
What other of God's gifts would you scrap.
How mch imperfection do you allow for your God?
The question is do you live a life of sin following your own desires or you live a new life given by God?
Rom 6:11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
There is no pretense to God if we live in sin.
Also, the Bible doesn't teach Deterministic View on salvation and human destiny. We have a choice and there are some believe that we are completely in the control of our decision (Arminian view) and others believe that we decide along with God's decision (Calvinistic view). In other words we are not robots, and if we are not than God can't be blamed for our actions.
The Bible writes that we can live in Christ but we need to submit to Him first.
