Early October's Theological Ponderings, Part I

[axver]

Alright, so this is the continuation of late September's theological ponderings, appropriately renamed for the new month. In this issue, I'm going to write about problems with the notion of faith, and then universalism. I also wished to address historical context, metaphors, and Scriptural inerrancy, but I ran out of room and will tackle those

I have a question. It's about all of mankind eventually reaching Heaven as according to God's will. See, I'm thinking that if someone chooses Heaven, that person must also choose God at the same time. Otherwise what would the point be in spending eternity in a place where the very creator and ruler is not accepted by the occupants? To enjoy its peace would most likely have to involve not being a foe of its source. Also, there's still this matter of free will. There are many people who dislike or even hate God, and wouldn't choose Him under the best of circumstances. I don't think hell is really as much about punishment as it is about God letting them have their own way. Unfortunately, being cut completely off from God would involve some pretty fierce suffering, I imagine...
