Fear Not-Believing in Jesus Christ is a Free Choice - No One Can Make One to Believe-Not Even Government

To keep this short and simple, I do not deny that there is free choice, either to believe or not in a Supreme Deity. It is, in actuality, the only free choice of a spiritual nature that can be made. Its consequences, however do have eternal implications.

A minor correction is noted here, for clarification. Secular nations do make war, for if not so, the Soviet Union, an avoved nation made devoid of spiritual influences by adherence to avoiding the "opiate of the people," made war, whether covert or open, with all who stood in the way of theri desired world domination, starting with their own abhorrance of the Russian Orthodox monarchy.

As the world's best example of a secular government, we can see how they (the Soviets) prospered, and history tells that one very well. However, not even they could extinguish the faithful in their hopes for the truth to be revealed.
