Steven, One biblical story I learned, I think it was of the destruction of the Caananites, although I'm not 100% positive, God ordered it because the people were killing innocent children, had been involved in depraved behaviors, killing in their own society inexcuably, and most of all had inncurable diseases in which if left unchecked, would have abolished the rest of the world. It was a necessity to wipe out this civilization before the civilization wiped out the world. Now as the story went, the Israelites were told to destroy the people. Could you blame God if this was the case and whoever the civilization could wipe out the world and his creation if left unchecked? What do you think about that? Should have God told someone to done it, to save his sacred creation? And if he did not order it, his record of perfection would have been destroyed and God would not be a perfect God anymore because the Messiah would have never come to pass if the world was destroyed by this disease. God forbid! Also, remember God saves all the people that are or will be saved, before he ever sends judgements against people. Remember, he lives outside of time and space. He knows who will be saved and who will not be. He gives you free will to make a decision, but he knows what it will be before you make it. So he could save you previous to the event. (ie - Sodom and Gamorrah, the Great Flood, and the Revelation) Steven, you're right God loves us all and will not let anyone die before he or she has a fair opportunity to make a choice. And most get many. And if he knows your choice will be no, I choose not to be saved, if the death of the unsaved save others, wasn't that death worthwhile, 1 lost who was never going to be saved, to many who are saved because of the death! This might be opportunity for you to choose right now! I don't mean because of any death or disease or anything negative. I just ask you to think about it..... God Bless, Steve PS- If you never, and I mean never, were exposed to Christianity before you died, God would not condemn you. But I think mostly all are exposed to Christianity in there life before they die. So they don't have the out! That's also why any children that die without the capability ever to choose will go straight to heaven!
