Everyone from the day they are born are doomed to hell. This was the judgment of God. Rebellion against the things of God is in our nature. And, yes, God did tell them (us) that we are bound for hell unless He steps in and changes this nature.
A god that chooses people to be damned from before time is quite contrary to a Christian concept of a loving God.
The fact is that God did sentence the entire Adam race to hell. Love has nothing to do with it-at least OUR concept of love-which is nothing more than "fairness", not love. What we don't understand is the concept of grace and justice. Knowing that we do not do the things that we should be doing, yet God is gracious to forgive and help us to grow. This is the Father's love.
Thanks for the ping.
Good points. Will get back to you after I think a bit and rest my eyes (Augustine has looooong sentences)
