Whose will?

[FineLinen]

"Love will never fail to give mankind a choice as to whether he will spend eternity with Christ or with satan.

Utter nonsense !

#1. Mankind has been made subject to vanity "not willingly".

#2. The subjection is by the will of God, (not man).

#3. The reason =

"The earnest expectation of the creature waits for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who has subjected the same in hope, because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together."

"Made subject" = hypotassō

"Not willingly" = ou hekōn

[FineLinen]

"God put the world square with himself through the Messiah, giving the world a fresh start by offering forgiveness of sins. God has given us the task of telling everyone what he is doing. We're Christ's representatives. God uses us to persuade men and women to drop their differences and enter into God's work of making things right." ~MSG

"God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and has committed unto us the word of reconciliation."

NOTE

1. God, our ABBA, was in Christ.

2. His purpose = reconciling the entire world cosmos to Himself.

3. He is NOT imputing trespasses to them.

Whose will prevails: The Creator or the created?
