Servant of Sin or Righteousness

[Jason]

It really boils down to that. I don't think there is middle ground. The Bible has this line in it, but a lot of people don't really get it. Well, in my mind, if I can see myself as a child or servant to God it helps and, in fact, the other choice is being a puppet to evil which is also a servant situation, though it seems like freedom.

As a debate topic, do you feel people have real freedom? The Bible seems to say we don't.

The Bible says we have free will to do as we please. We make that choice, and it doesn't matter how we feel about the results because God made you and gets to do what he pleases with you. If you don't believe in any of it, why even bother worrying about it? That's always been my confusion - those who don't believe spend their lives debating it with people who believe so much that they feel the atheist is just being satanic. If you don't believe in any of it, go live your life how you wish and forget about the rest, It's your freedom, right?

I don't agree with self-righteously debating with atheists or non-believers. It's better to just live the life before them because "Christianity is like romantic love. It's not logical (my quote)." It's dating 101 to know that people can't be forced to love others, the heart has to be moved.
