Subject: Is God really just? |
Bible Note: I mention the questions to point out that Jesus never once held back or instructed us to. While here, He gave to all and instructed us to do the same. Yet when it comes to salvation, you suggest He didnt do this. It doesn't fit. I never said any of us do not deserve hell, we all do. But if He chose me to gt Heaven, that is merciful to me. ut that means He also specifically looked at someone else and said "I will never forgive you and you will burn in Hell because I refuse to give you my love. I will make it so you can never come to me so I can be justified in condeming you to eternal torment because it is my will and desire that you spend eternity in the river of fire." And you better believe, if God chose me and not another person, thet IS a VERY good reason to boast. Throw your spin out here and tell me why its not. But sorry, it aint going to work. You say "perhaps, maybe Jesus didn't die for the sins of every single human being". Yet the Bible says He died for the sins of the world. Seems pretty inclusive to me. Please show me where Jesus' death did not cover all sins. No "perhaps" or "maybe". God may show love and mercy to me. But in your model, He by His choice alone, refuses it to the vast majority of His creation. Then He says to love each other as He loved us. So then, really, I only have to love a few peple. I can hate and condemn the rest, right? I was very careful of my wording. I worship the God in the Bible. God IS love (1John4:8). God does not show partiality (Deu 10:17), od shows loving kindness to ALL who call UPON HIM (Ps86:5), God doesn't love some, but the world (john3:16), He is not willing that even one shall be lost (Mat18:14). None of these fit with a God who refuses His love and grace to the lost. God saving some is merciful. But there are two heads to every coin. God refusing His love and mercy to others based soely on His decision alone, thus condemining them to eternal torment, is NOT loving or merciful. Bless...ArtS P.S. I am sorry I did not provide the scripture verses in the last post. I thought the things I was referring to were trecognizeable enough without them to realize they were scripture. |
