"That’s good news. I’d hate to think that he found Jesus and would wind up in heaven one day."

That's Good? That's your idea of Good News? That the sinner dies in his sins and is damned?

Your 'god' sounds like a "bad-news god" to me. It's evidently not the one that Ezekiel --- instructed by the Holy Spirit --- talks about when he says:

Ezekiel 18:23
Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign LORD. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?

Ezekiel 18:32
For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live!

Or as Paul said, instructed by Christ:

1 Tim. 2:4
"God wills that all men be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth."

Lighten up. It was comment on how most people like him suddenly find Jesus when their sentencing phase comes up.

Continuing on with your proof text:

5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people.

He chose to start ritually worshiping Satan five times a day. Obviously, God did not choose him to be among the Elect. Or if you choose to believe in free will, then Holmes chose to not have Jesus as his mediator.

Either way, justice is served on earth and in heaven.

2 Thessalonians 2

10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

[null and void]

I'm A-OK with that.

You're A-OK with him in paradise?
