First off, if it is "obvious" that damning those who never heard of Christ cannot be reconciled with the concept of God's goodness, then how is it that it is not equally "obvious" that an omniscient God who would ever create a soul that He knew would ultimately be eternally damned does not pose exactly the same moral dilemma?

Matthew 10:28
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

Perhaps eternal punishment outside of the limits of time is non existent. If both body and soul is destroyed what is left? I really do not see the point of hell lasting for eternity. Then again, I do not even rightly comprehend eternity.

As far as creating a soul that God knows will be condemned we come to the dilemma of predestination. God does know who is predestined to enter the kingdom. That is a fact based on scripture. However, it is also a fact that God desires everyone to be saved. God creates circumstances in everyone's life where salvation is extended and the person is left with the choice. Putting the blame on God for man's choices seems to be the popular way to go. Man always places the blame on others instead of taking it on himself. It is human nature.
