We find in all creatures diversities which distinguish them one from another, but the purity of God's Essence admits of no distinction; so that His Being is His Essence, His Essence is His Power, His Power is His Will, His Will is His Understanding, His Understanding is His Being, His Being is His Wisdom, His Wisdom is His Justice, His Justice is His Mercy. And though the last two attributes are differently manifested, the duty of mercy being to pardon, that of justice to punish, yet they are one and the same power.

"An intercessor must have an absolute conviction of God's righteousness, but he must be absolutey convinced also that God will judge the wicked. There is no room for a kind of milk-and-water religion that thinks God is too kind to judge sin. Anybody who thinks like that cannot qualify to be an intercessor. An intercessor has to have a crystal-clear vision of the absolute justice and inevitability of God's justice."

Some will choose to have their heaven on earth but 80 years vs eternity is a very poor trade.The consequences to that decision will be horrific.ALL will be subject to his Mercy and Judgement no matter what they do or do not believe in.One's personal belief or disbelief about His existence is really quite irrelevant.He believes in YOU.At the final judgement try to stay away from the goaty side.

You're not bees or ants. You're people. People think for themselves, whether you like it or not. And not liking it won't change it.
