I'm glad theyre wise enough to know, or probably just to accept, that there is a god. That they dont think atheism is "fashionable"
But yk... they're still not saved or anything but we gotta reach out to them

What if and Agnostic believes in a creator but doesn’t worship god because he isn’t given proof. Does he deserve to not be saved?

But thats the whole reason we were created... to glorify God
He Doesnt need anything, thats why he is God
But to he saved, you need to realize you're a hopeless sinner and Jesus died for you, in other words, know exactly who God is

we were created to worship someone who we can do nothing for since he created us?

Yeah
That’s why he says even our most righteous acts are like filthy rags to him. We’re nothing in comparison, and nothing we can do can make him dependent on us. That’s why we have to make our identity IN Him, just thankful that he made us

Why would he give eternal torture to those who don’t know if he existed or committed sin?

Well we all deserve hell
But God chose exactly who to save before they were even born

Sin is the ultimate example of "outside God's will". If Adam had never sinned, we would still be living in a perfectly created world, cohabitating peacefully with all the animals and eating fruits, plants, and seeds. Adam walked and talked with God. Jesus knew when He created Adam that He, Jesus, would have to suffer the most extremely painful death ever devised by man at the hands of His creation to build His creation a bridge back to the Being that wanted to share His existence. The Bible tells us this world was created to be inhabited, but since the fallout from the world wide flood, much of it is inhabitable. There is still great beauty but imagine it covered in greenery, in life. God still moves among us but what we have is not the original life filled world He gave us.

Would you prefer to move this to chat? It's difficult to create an active dialogue in this format

God doesn't look into the future. He's already there. As He is in the present and the past. "I Am." Present pluperfect tense telling us He always is - in every moment throughout time, He is there at all times simultaneously.
2 Peter 3:9 tells us that "That the Lord is not slack concerning His promises, as men count slackness; but is long suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." He wants all to repent. Within each of us, there exists a knowledge of right and wrong. Each of us have the God given right to choose either. That is free will and God already knows which we will choose because he already saw it happen. Consider that Peter and Judas betrayed Jesus and fulfilled prophecy by doing so. Judas didn't ask Jesus for forgiveness, Peter did. Both betrayals furthered God's kingdom. The Calvanistic idea fails with that passage. God is unable to be unwilling that any should perish and create people just to perish.

But it isnt really possible to do anything outside of God's will because then he isnt all powerful
The fact that God has to rely on US to be saved... doesnt make sense
Paul tells us no one is righteous, not even one, so we're unable to come to God outside of his intervention

I would suggest that it's not predestination but being able to see the end from the beginning. God knew which of the disciples was going to betray Jesus, He didn't decide to force him to go to hell. That was his choice.

If god simply looked into the future, that means he had to learn something
Then God wouldnt be all-knowing

It’s not for what I want to believe, it’s what I should believe. What’s laid out in the Bible. What reality is.
He punishes all of us because we deserve it, because we all have sinned. He’s not mean for giving some people punishment. He’s KIND because he gives people a way OUT of it
2 ups, 3mo
Yeah predestination
It makes sense, the Bible says we are all equally hopeless, so only God can choose to save us

God is very clear on what gets us to eternity with Him rather than eternally separate from Him. Knowledge of Jesus and trusting in His works and His words to save us from the wages we've earned. One sin (the Greek word being an archery term for missing the target) eternally separates us from God. We are unable on our own to traverse the chasm between us and God. Only Jesus could build the bridge back to God. I've shown this concept as being like an elevator. We can know that the elevator can take us up, but if we never trust it enough to go through the door and get in it, it remains just a nice door that has no power to lift us.

But an elevator also has to bring you down

I was agnostic before.

Everyone has their own path to God, and has chances to get to know God.

What's great about agnostic, it means open and curious,

and what's great about God:
Matthew 7:7: "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."

Seek the truth, you only benefit from it, because once you know the truth, the decisions you make are fully yours.

Babies and kids don't go to hell, God absolutely loves all his kids and gives them time to grow and decide who they want to be (good person or bad person).

I mean this as respectfully as possible, but I've found many of them to just be fence-sitters who haven't really looked into the idea of a creator as much as a firm Christian or firm atheist.

There are some who are genuinely on a spiritual journey; they're asking the big questions and genuinely seeking to find answers in religious claims of different faiths, I love those agnostics because they've usually got interesting stories and we can bond over things like doctrinal claims. But I've met so few of those agnostics that I'm usually speaking to someone who just hasn't bothered looking into it because they're either too afraid of what they might discover (because big truth claims require life change) or they're just uninterested in finding out what's true or not.
