Re: Reply
If your god is unwilling that any should perish, then why would he create beings that he "knows" will not accept him?
Omniscience and free will are mutually exclusive concepts...can't have it both ways.

God knew where you were going, be it either heaven or hell, when he created you...
God wants everyone to be saved... He is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance...
God created baby killing homosexual pedafiles, did he make them do it?
Or did they choose that path for themselves... Just because God gives you a chance doesn't make him wrong... He is willing that none should perish and that all should come to repentance... That doesn't mean they will... God creates things perfectly, their will is the one that condemns them ...
You contradict yourself Headcase. If your god created someone that he knew, before he created them, would be a babykiller, or an atheist, then that person would have no choice in the matter. S/he was specifically created to be what s/he was. Specifically created to be damned to hell. How is there a choice involved if you were created with your future already mapped out by the creator?
There were several very good threads here on the "free will" debate. Maybe you could read them.
