21 | Whats up with Judgement, calvinists plz? | Rom 9:21 | Titus 3:4 | 70974 | ||
He did create us perfectly in Adam and Eve. God chose them to perfectly represent the whole human race. They made exactly the same choices we all would have made since they were our perfect reprresentatives. We pick politicians to represent us, but they don't do so perfectly. However, God was able to create two individuals to represent us all perfectly. Adam and Eve were created intelligent, free, and were warned about choosing to disobey and what the consequences would be. They got what they asked for. Fortunately, God is willing to save some of us from eternal Hell by taking that curse of sin on Himself in the person of His Son Jesus. Jesus endured the equivalent of spending an eternity in Hell for all those He came to save. Why did He choose some and not others? Here is a good site I found to help understand God's election / predestination.

What do you think about God creating vessels of wrath prepared for destruction? This is similar to my last question on 1Peter2:8 where people are appointed to doom. | ||||||

24 | Why so many destined for Hell? | 1 Pet 2:8 | Titus 3:4 | 70290 | ||
My sister asked me if I knew why God would want to create people who He knows will end up in Hell. In fact, the majority of people will end up there. I know God is perfectly just, and would be perfectly just to send the whole planet to hell, but she is not to accepting of that either. She doesn't see how God can fault people who were born with a fallen nature that is unable to not sin, and then send them to Hell forever because of it. Tough questions. I know God created Adam and Eve perfectly and without sin, and that we are suffering the consequences of their sin since they perfectly represented all of us. We can choose men to represent us in politics but they won't represent all of our wishes perfectly, but God can and did pick someone to represent us perfectly when He picked Adam and Eve. And I realize that God uses evil, suffering, and Hell to demonstrate His own glory, grace, love, mercy, justice, etc. But it is still tough to accept that we may have suffered forever, and that people we care about will suffer forever. My sister is just marveling over her new baby girl (number four child for her!) and the idea that any of our children would not be saved is just too painful to think about. Anybody have any comments or verses that I could share with her to help her (and me) to be able to see the glory in all this and to be able to praise God for it? | ||||||
