Enjoy the fragrance of TULIP!

So you imagine a god who created beings - by no fault of their own - to suffer the torments of hell for all eternity.

God chooses whomever he pleases and passes over the rest. That is an evil god.

No. We are ALL sinful and worthy of hell. You've gotten angry with someone? That is a sin. Looked lustfully at someone? Sin. Lied? Sin. As God's justice demands punishment, THAT is why we need a Saviour! In His mercy, He sent JESUS to die in our stead; THAT is His mercy!

If you design your own universe and then implement your design, you’ll have to decide who is good and who is evil.

You can design it so that everyone goes to heaven, even the most evil people.

Then there really would be no difference between good and evil in your universe.

In any case, your design will be a reflection of you.

Then why are some going to Hell?

Did God:
-Create them knowing they would reject Jesus?
-Rescue some and not others?
-Really not know and is surprised by what happens?

Do you believe in Hell?

Is God going to send some people to Hell?

Does God know who they are?

Did he not know who they were before he formed them in the womb?

Did he create them anyway?
