Do you believe that if two people have identical sins and both repented from them and loved God the same, that God would be right in sending one person to heaven and the other to hell? If so, it would mean that God is imperfect in judgment,which can not be so.

I would say that regardless of the number or nature of the sins of any two given people, if they both repented of all of them and then both loved God the same, that is, in the Biblical sense (truly), then they would both be saved. Therefore, God would contradict His own word if He sent one to Heaven and one to hell.

Jesus will draw all men to him; God wishes all men to repent and be saved. It would sure seem a contradiction, my friend.

Good answer,FK

Then you would agree that God wills all to be saved(1 tim 2:4) and gives us the free will to repent?Thus, we are all given sufficient Grace to follow His will
