Man is ever accusing God of injustice in His dealings with the human race, and has declared that He had no right to create man in the face of the fact that He knew man would fall. Man questions God's right to judge the human race and to execute sentence based the crime that was committed. Can God justify himself in the face of these accusations? Has God a right to send one man to Hell and another to Heaven? Has God, as Judge, a right to execute the sentence that has been shown in scripture upon those who reject Christ?
If God can save one human being who rejects Jesus Christ as a personal Savior, then He could have saved the whole human race, because there is no difference. If the whole world could have been saved apart from Christ, then God sending Jesus to Hell is the most hideous crime ever committed in the Universe. Man's sin is but child's play in comparison to the unthinkable crime of sending the Holy, innocent Son of God into Hell as our sin Substitute, if it were not necessary. If this be true, then every man who rejects Jesus must legally go to Hell regardless of God's feelings, and every man who accepts Jesus must legally go to Heaven. God stand acquitted in that He did not leave man after the sin that was committed without the means of salvation. This give God a right to sit as Judge on the great White Throne and it seals man's lips forever.

God seems particularly unfair in human terms. Your comments are right on though. God does reserve the right to be the Ultimate Judge. We also need to remember, "Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker, to him who is but a potsherd among the potsherds on the ground. Does the clay say to the potter, 'What are you making?' Does your work say, 'He has no hands'?" Isaiah 45:9
Thank you kindly for the invite. God is certainly just in condemning those who do not receive the offer of eternal life found in His Son. The only way to life is through Christ; every other way leads to death.
I'll be dropping by from time to time to visit, and I warmly welcome you to visit anytime you wish. God's blessing to you. Ian.
