And then He offers some the Grace to remedy that hereditary curse.

He gives some grace, whether they want it or not.

So He'll fudge the rules for some, and not others? I can't help but find that--not arbitrary, for if anything has a reason, God does--but simply cruel.

If God were cruel, He could simply do justice and damn everyone without exception.

The fact that even one person is saved is a wonder of mercy.

The fact that one is doomed is a travesty of cruelty, if they have no chance to avoid it.

How is making a creature you know is faulty and then allowing it to propogate so that you can make them all suffer eternally "just?"
