Tangle, I cannot say why GDR believes what he does
about God. But I know why God allows all that He does.
God is not trying to save all of humanity during this
present age.
He is only calling out those who being offered a place in
His coming Kingdom on earth. They are
He is allowing Muslims, Catholics, Hindus, Buddhists,
etc..., to worship in they way they see fit.
These people are not now being judged concerning
eternal life.
However, some of them have already condemned
themselves. For example, Muslims who hate Christians
so much that they lop off their heads.
The first resurrection are for the called. They rule with
Christ in His 1000 year Kingdom on earth.
The flesh an blood humans who repent and develop
Godly character during this 1000 years will also join God's
family.
All of these, plus those who were in the first resurrection,
will set out to convert all who come up on the second
resurrection.
The second resurrection is not a sentencing. It is a time
of judging. They will come back as flesh and blood. This
is a resurrection to correction.
God knows the best ways to get humans to turn to Him.
The second resurrection consists of all who have ever
lived, with the exception of those who turned their backs
to God's calling; plus those who were incorguable evil, as
well as those who sold their lives to Satan.
All of these will be in the third resurrection. They have
already been judged.
I look around and see exactly what I would expect from
a world that is basically cut off from God.
Remember, Adam and Eve rejected God's guidance. They
were determined to decide what was right and wrong,
good and evil for themselves.
God has allowed humans 6000 years to do this for
themselves, with the exception of the called.
Matthew 24 tells us that if Christ delayed His return any
longer that we would kill ourselves off. All of us.
God then shows us His way.
The God that I know will, in His time, reveal Himself to
everyone, including those who practice other religions.
He loves us all.
