Doug:

Interest reply. I regularly do not have exposure to such a lucid explanation in my daily life. I sincerely thank you for it.

Of course, and no personal attack or disrespect intended, but I see it as ludicrous. What I understood is that you believe that God lets us do whatecer we want, gave us freedom of choice, but of course He knows all the choices we'd make anyway. So he condones everything we do if at some point we repent and embrace Him. Something like that?

So in that view, the Crusades, Inquisition, pogroms, slavery, torture, burning young women at the stake, child labor, child pornography, etc. ad nauseam are OK because we can have our choice, just repent for your sins at the end?

Amazing!
