Look, I have never said I have all the answers. You don't either. I have what is most important down good though. I believe God loves us all very much and wants us to love him too. Who would send their son to die for someone elses sins? Would you?
I don't think any of us can comprehend how much he truly loves us. . Over the last two days from some of the posts I'm reading I'm supposed to accept that this wonderful being is actually a boogy man? He's someone who destroys half? (, yall got a % yet?) of what he makes on a whim, no he plans to destroy before he even creates and now he has no special provisions for the ones that aren't able to determine between good and evil?
I don't think so.

I never said I had all the answers. However, I don't invent theology just because I can't explain something. The "age of accountability" is manufactured theology.
"I'm supposed to accept that this wonderful being is actually a boogy man?"
God is NOT a boogy man-nor is He someone to pal around with. He is our holy, sovereign God who deserves our continual worship because He watches over those who He has choosen and provides for our needs.

...and now he has no special provisions for the ones that aren't able to determine between good and evil.WHAT!?! I keep making the mistake of thinking you're actually reading these posts.
YOU are the one who has NO ANSWER for the "those that aren't able to determine between good and evil."
You were just offered, several times, the Calvinist position that gives an accounting of God's "special provision" for those people.
It's clear you have NO answer, but you feel justified to trash ours.
It figures.

I don't think so. Cindy did God create men that He knew by His foreknowledge would never repent and believe. Did God not create them specifically for hell?
What is it in man that God "owes " them a chance" .Is God mans debtor?
