Now, if you had said a christian maturing in the faith, your analogy could have been more plausible. But to use that analogy for an unbeliever is just way out there.
Basically, your analogy is saying God is FORCEFULLY marrying some people that don't want to marry him...

While i think there is scriptures that point to universal salvation I believe faith is required. I was just bringing out the legal standing vs. relationship standing.
