Bible Note: Hello Val, As I mentioned before, I must be careful of how I word things. I will try to answer the best way and still keep this available for you to see. Val, I very slow to say that our Creator is not being fair. Mainly because Romans 9 tells us that I don't have that right. However, I try to understand Him in light of how He describes Himself in Scripture. He does say that He is not a respecter of persons and that we should not be either. He does say that He is not willing that any should perish. He does say that He sent His Son because He loves the world. All that being said...if he had warned them would they have turned? I don't know, I can't say what they would have done. But wouldn't the chances be greater of them turning? I mean surely the odds would be higher of repentance if you are warned of the consequence right? If the chances are not any higher, then why do we warn them today? My friend, we have grossly misinterpreted what Jesus was teaching. GROSSLY misinterpreted. Let me ask you two questions that I will use later. First, do you have any children? Second, have you seen the movie Apocolypto? If you do not want to answer the first because of any security issue, I understand. Thank you for your sincerity, Nick |
