WE ARE MADE for relationship with our creator and love is how that relationship works. Heaven is what believers chose WHILE they were in a FALLEN, SINFUL world and had the ability to NOT choose Heaven/God. Their FREE DECISION is ACTUALIZED when they get to Heaven. At the same token, an unbeliever/atheists decision to refuse/reject God is also ACTUALIZED when they get to hell. God doesn't force anyone to go where they don't want to.

No, even just for the title of the video, this treatment doesn't come anywhere close to answering the question adequately. As a matter of fact, I found this to be more confused that the typical response to this common question. I think it's just a bad video, but I'm only being critical of the attempt to deal with a problem like this in 2 1/2 minutes.

The assertion is that love CANNOT exist if the possibility of NOT loving is non existent. By that logic, even in an actualized heaven, love CANNOT exist because the original assertion. So no one in heaven can change their mind, thereby being "forced" to love.

[rdftreeman]

Problematic because those in heaven cannot freely choose to not love or to hate. So does that mean love doesn't exist in heaven?

For the title of the video, I guess the content of the video provides an adequate answer. I have not watched other small videos so I could not comment on your analysis of what STR is doing. :)

[AOPrinciple]

Ok, STR, I think you just need to stop with these 2, 2 1/2 minute videos; they raise far more questions than they even attempt to answer, and you can't address any of these things adequately in that time limit. It's just frustrating, and it could even mislead people into thinking that these are simple issues, when they aren't.
