From man, as a result of karma I can see it; however, from God who created us? How does that jive with God is love? God chose eternal damnation for the majority of the world? Why would He do that? What sense does that make. Being all-knowing, He set up such a system and said, “I am love”? I simply can’t get there from what I know about God and particularly from what Jesus revealed.
Under what logic do the “unsaved” deserve eternal damnation?
Under some theory of God being JUST? Robin A. Parry asked the question, “Why is it that who is saved and who is damned is determined entirely by God’s supreme will, and we pay the price?”
My question is did He or did He not? Did Jesus pay the price for ALL MANKIND on the Cross? Did He, or did He not, meet the demands of justice on the Cross, for ALL MANKIND? Where does it say that He died on the Cross for “some“?
If the PENALTY for sin has already been paid (by Jesus), then how can justice be an impediment to His love and that event? Retributive punishment just doesn’t make sense to me, but eternal love and forgiveness sure does!
