Quotes by J.P. Moreland  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“God maintains a delicate balance between keeping his existence sufficiently evident so people will know he's there and yet hiding his presence enough so that people who want to choose to ignore him can do it. This way, their choice of destiny is really free.”
J.P. Moreland

“If you were to force people to do something against their free choice, you would be dehumanizing them. The option of forcing everyone to go to heaven is immoral, because it's dehumanizing; it strips them of the dignity of making their own decision; it denies them their freedom of choice; and it treats them as a means to an end. When God allows people to say 'no' to him, he actually respects and dignifies them.”
J.P. Moreland

“...many atheists embrace Jesus as having been a great teacher, and yet he's the one who had the most to say about hell.”
J.P. Moreland
