"And if the crooked could be made straight, why did God send armies to destroy evil nations, including Israel, twice?"

If the crooked can't be made straight, then our faith is in vain. "Come let us reason together, though your sins are like scarlett, they shall be whiter than snow."

The Lord can make the sinful man perfect. But he will not strive with man forever. He judges the nations and sometimes he wipes them out.

Do you believe everyone will be saved? I believe that particular doctrine is called Universalism. I would welcome that, if it were true. But I can find no evidence for it, unless I “twist” a few scriptures in the gospel of John; and that can hardly be considered evidence.

Sorry, I am not buying it, unless you can come up with a better argument (e.g., from the scriptures.)

What is his hurry? He has all the time in the world. LOL!

I really, truly don’t think there is any point to be made in this discussion, except that we do not know the mind of the Lord.
