Craig,

Yours was a far different response than I expected.

You had written:

"Also there is another way to look at this. Haven’t the millions or billions already in Hell chosen to be there by their choice?

Since God wants all to come to salvation, but most wont, what does it matter that we argue if anyone can “lose their salvation” or not?"

That is a very perplexing question.

The LORD is eternal, and omnipresent in time and space, which are both his creation.

He not only saw all our lives before we existed, sees our lives while we are living them, and sees it all from the end, including where each person ends up.

The Calvinist can only see the LORD predestinating our eternal state from before the foundation of the world.

The Arminian sees our eternal state constantly in only our hands while we live.

But you brought up a third perspective, in the end, everyone that will be in hell will have chosen to be there, and does it matter at that point, when they made that choice?

Wow, that blew a fuse for me - it is a very deep and perplexing thought.

Thank you for that.
