No double talk from me, ALL (meaning everyone, all mankind) are hell bound. God saved some. No double talk at all.
:D Jason, my God is the same God that you serve I hope. Is this the same God who is described as Love? Do you believe that Jesus is the exact representation of the invisible God and that we have been taught by Him to love our enemies and to be perfect just as our Heavenly Father is perfect? Do you serve the same Jesus who gave Himself as a ransom for all men? Do you serve the same the Jesus who said concerning His enemies, "Forgive them Father for they know not what they do?" Do you serve the same Jesus who will eventually draw all to Himself, subject all to Himself that God may be all in all? (not speaking of UR, but these scriptures are in the Bible)Shana, your god lacks many quaility, your focus is on it's love and love only. Ever read the O.T.?
http://www.jonathanedwards.com/sermons/ ... inners.htmThe God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider, or some loathsome insect over the fire, abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked: his wrath towards you burns like fire; he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else, but to be cast into the fire; he is of purer eyes than to bear to have you in his sight; you are ten thousand times more abominable in his eyes, than the most hateful venomous serpent is in ours

We are not "Elect" for our own Election's sake! We are elect for service, yeah, even service unto death, for "we are as sheep to be slaughtered". We are for "noble purpose", honored to serve in the steps of our Master. Yet the servant is not greater than the Master, and our lives, even our gift of righteousness, is as a shining light, poured out as an offering for those "vessels of wrath"
