So what happens to those who die quickly and young who haven’t the time and experience to well consider salvation? What happens to the hoards of peoples who never have heard the Gospel? It has to be God who chooses for His own purposes as spelled out in Bible repeatedly. The dead cannot choose to live but must be revived by something outside of themselves. The carnal mind, which is all that an unregenerated soul has, is an enemy to God. People cannot understand nor accept that God has the right to choose to save for His purposes those whom He decides upon. All rightfully deserve to burn forever in hell, that some are pulled out of the fire doesn’t make it unjust that the rest burn forever. It is to the praise of the glory of His grace that by no effort of my own, not even my own choosing, that I will spend eternity in His glorious presence. Forever and ever I will never be able to claim any reason to boast of my own merits. It is all Him.

If God wants the offer of choice to be part of His glory who are you to deny Him that? And the bible is clear throughout that in fact, it is.

Just because we do not understand all dimensions involved, does not negate its scripturally backed reality. We do not get to reduce God’s work to our dimensions. Certainly we can always count on God’s work to never be SMALLER than our dimensions.

Put that in your judgment-happy pipe and smoke it.
