I think the guy in this video needs to understand something: If God didn't love you, He wouldn't warn you about the consequences. He would just let you suck at life, thinking you were alright, and then at the end cast you into hell. And yet, we know that God is Love - and therefore, in regard to the imperfection of the video's analogy, I agree in this regard:

It is not as if God is holding the knife to your throat. He is not out to threaten you into Loving Him. (What kind of Love would THAT be??? It would not be Love at all.) More like you are falling onto the knife, and you can choose to reach out for rescue or not. With regard to not being able to 'see God', if you were falling onto the knife and there was a sign next to it that said, REACH OUT HAND TO BE RESCUED, I think the atheists among us would be characterized as thinking, "Wait a second. This sign doesn't PROVE that sticking out my hand for rescue will actually get me rescued," and so they choose not to. The faithful chooses to believe, and does it.

So that is the Atheist and the Faithful. But there is a third kind of person. This is the one who does not yet believe the sign, but FIRST reaches out his hand and yells out in sincerity, "Show me that you're there!" This 'third person' is actually what EVERY 'Faithful' person has once been. The faithful were ALL atheists until they humbled themselves, cried out, and discovered that someone was indeed there.

My point is that in order for you to be rescued, you first have to believe that rescue is possible. If you just reach out your hand, and do not believe, well, you're just sticking your hand out, and not sticking it out to be rescued, aren't you? One might argue, "Well, doesn't God love everyone? Me, included? Wouldn't He just grab me by the back of my undies and wedgie me to safety?" Yes, He does love you, even though you go around defaming Him. But, if you CHOOSE to end up a rotten tomato, the gardener will not give you to the chef, and you will be thrown away. It is not more complicated than that.

You choose. You face whichever consequence. You take responsibility for yourself unless you choose to give that responsibilty to the gardener.

The good news is it is perhaps not that immeadiate, and we all have a goodly time to read and understand and think about the message on that sign before we actually hit the knife. But make no mistake, when the time comes that the knife has entered your body, time is up. (When I wrote this, I laughed because I sounded like such a fear monger, but really, if what I wrote worries you, it is not because I have created the fear in you, it is because I have spoken the truth and you do not like it.)

In closing, I'd like to add that God didn't make you so that you would "worship" Him like a blind fool. God made you in order to share Himself with you. If you were pure Love, pure Light, there is absolutely nothing else you could do BUT create someone to share yourself with. Otherwise, you wouldn't be pure Love, would you.
