Well, the way "they" see it, you may not be right either, thus, the imapsse on this issue.

Consider this which always bothered me during my early upbringing in a mondo conservative, "Hell, fire and brimstone" Church of Christ In Christian Union. If God is all knowing, all loving, all forgiving -- how can He/She condem someone to eternal damnation in Hell? Why would we have to be "tested?" Especially, if we are born without sin? Why would He/She even offer the option?
I'm an ordained Elder in the Presbyterian Church and believe in God, but still have a lot of questions.

Because you are to come to God willingly, knowing it was your choice to do so.
