Slavery means being forced to do what someone else tells you to do or they will hurt you.
Freedom means being free to do what makes you happy.

God is Freedom and Happiness, so most human beings are not following God, since they seek to control others, especially the ones in oppressive religions.
There is no happiness apart from God.
And there is no freedom apart from God.
You have no choice in your slavery. You were born into it.
God out of his love has given you a way to free you from it. Don't delude yourself.

So expressing my free will makes me a slave?
I ain't no slave to sin and death, it's that kind of attitude that pushes away the free-thinking person from your cult. Because that's all it is, a cult.
You are exactly what the Op is talking about.
There is no happiness apart from God.
And there is no freedom apart from God.
You have no choice in your slavery. You were born into it.

This is where I say I've seen happiness in a mother's eyes then you tell me that's God?
I say but that child is born into sin and by your doctrine is a source of unhappiness and slavery till it's soul has been saved?
Hogwash.
Ain't no way another human can give me information that'll "save my soul" or "free me from mental or physical slavery" it's BS, some numb nuts is selling me snake oil. Man made BS.
Ain't no lions guarding the sheep, bunch of feral animals just keeping the herd pinned in.

Yeah nutballs have been saying stuff like that for years.
Thing is if you were born in certain parts of the world you would be a Muslim or hindu or a shintoist.
It is all bollocks except for mine because at least mine says it is all made up.
