If I am wired from the womb to sin and sin willfully, then how can a just God damn me for that?

If a Holy God cannot abide sin in His presence then how can He not damn you for sinning, whether you're hard-wired to or not?

If God knew you would never accept Christ as your Saviour and created you anyway, how can He damn you if you are behaving the way He knew you would before He created you?

Maybe since He plans to give us a free will to love Him because we want to and not because we have to, he chooses not to know. Does deciding to make a bad batch esp for hell sound loving and just?

Hello? Isn't God sovereign? It isn't that God made a person "knowing" that he would not accept Christ. It's that God created this person specifically designed to not accept Christ.

It's like God is running a carnival game where if you put the ball through the hoop, you win salvation. But to some of us, he gives a ball that is simply too big to fit.

And this is the player's fault?
