Peter,
What does the sovereignty of God mean?
See Rom 11:22; Psalm 115:3; Prov 16:9.
Oz
Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.
Rom 11:22
Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.
Psalm 115:3
In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.
Prov 16:9
God has always been sovereign. It is through His behaviour that we discern
His will and His ways.
Judgement that the Lord brought Korah was dramatic and direct.
The ground opened and swallowed Korah, and the people offering coals were
literally burnt up. God simply removed them from Israel, no torture or slow punishment,
or reducing their rights etc.
Listen to Pauls argument with the Athenians,
Therefore since we are God's offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone--an image made by man's design and skill.
In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.
For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead.
Acts 17:30-32
The argument about sovereignty is used to say often if God desires to torture all sinners
in hell for all eternity, that is His right. This is true. The question is simply is this what God
declares.
It would appear not so, rather He brings justice, where a mortal life lived how the
people desire ends in their destruction. They are chaff and are simply burned up. Their rebellion
is in ignorance and disbelief, and they will receive what they do not expect. Listen to every culture
and you will see the hope of a resolved reality after death, even though they have no reason to
expect such a thing.
Personally my fear in approaching this subject, is because I did not know the foundations and
arguments, and wondered how it would work out. But I desire truth and to walk in faith, knowing
my Lord and His love.
Let us put the doctrine into context. A child born to an unbelieving home, without any contact to
the Lord or His church. How should this childs fate be judged? Many children die in this state and
historically was the common experience, with 1 in 3 making it to adult years. Do you believe God
will torment these children in fire, for sins they are not aware of or have any reference points that
make sense? For some condemnation before the age of responsibility is too hard an idea. Paul
answers this question by saying children are deemed Holy by the believing parent, so are saved even
though they do not have personal faith themselves. So Paul knows of this problem and agrees there
is no hope for children of unbelievers. So is this your position? Have you got kids and where is your
love?

.. We have the Word first and foremost , then our testimony of it and Jesus .. But we also have gifts of the Spirit, dreams and visions, prophesy and such that motivate and confirm too .. My particular motivation was a dream being out of the presence of God and gradually being deceived by who appeared as the best friend I ever had .. And he didn't look like any devil I've ever seen .. The results were I preached Jesus to every soul I come in contact with (in season and out of season) for about 2 years out of fear they might go to that place and many got saved was the result .. I also had a dream of being in Heaven the night before but it did not motivate me like knowing the terror of the Lord did .
