What loving Father would do that? None that I know of, and our Father in heaven is much more loving to his adopted children that ANY father on earth can be. Especially when God the Father makes promises that we WILL be with him in heaven, not MIGHT be with him in heaven.

FK: "When one adopts, one is making a commitment. If you made the commitment to adopt a child, would it ever be the Christian thing to do to "unadopt" that child?"

Amen to that! Analogies to human relationships with each other always fall ultimately short, but here it is clear that even good humans would not do what the other side supposes God does. And, as you say, we have God's promises to rely on.
