CMH,

In response to your questions:

Quote
If God were creating a gift for His son, why would he only choose some? If every thing He created is/was perfect, why not allow all to be given? I am truly sorrowed by the idea that the God I believe in would not offer hope of eternal life with Him to every single person He created..

here are a few questions for you to consider:

As you know from Scripture, some of the angels created by God rebelled against him while others did not. As you also must know, God has never offered salvation to those who rebelled: For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham. (Heb. 2:16)

Question 1) Is God perfectly holy and just in his treatment of demons?

Question 2) Does God's treatment of the demons cause you to praise him for his holiness and justice?

Question 3) Has God bound himself to not display his holiness and justice in his treatment of the children of Adam?

Question 4) If no to (3), who are you, o man, to desire for God to be so bound?

Question 5) If yes to (3), please exegete Scriptures detailing this self-binding of God.


In Christ,
Paul S
