He wants to pretend they all love him voluntarily and made a free choice. But it's all a sham. They get whipped, punished, maybe killed if they try to leave. ~ "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

It's another of those pesky strings attached to this non-free gift. When Carnegie gifted a million dollar library to your community, you weren't fined or jailed or killed if you never went into it. It was truly a free gift for everyone to use and enjoy. The creepy 'free' gift of 'salvation' comes with a whole set of caveats*. The primary of which is, if you don't accept this gift and all that's attached to it, god will make you pay. For eternity. caveat: specific stipulations, conditions, or limitations The point is, salvation is not a free gift, it comes with conditions and expectations. Calling it free is just the hook to get you in the church door. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Are they? There seems to be some debate on that, even between christian believers: Jesus taught about hell: https://www.crossway.org/blog/2014/05/what-did-jesus-teach-about-hell/ Jesus did not teach about hell: http://www.godsplanforall.com/jesusdidnotteachhell/ "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts."
