Did God have a choice?

That being true, what could possibly have caused Him to have to create eternal conscience torment for anybody or thing in HIS creation? What happened to "what shall separate us..."

"...everything is from God, and for God..." He has a plan and He is working His plan, it will eventually result in the complete redemption of everything He created.

Why He created evil and wickness is a wonder to the human mind, but not to His wisdom, His end justifies His means.

The contrast between light and darkness, good and evil and so on is part of the creation's maturity. Otherwise, God is not what the first sentence of this post supposes.

I know someone will bring up, God has to have justice, for the sinfulness of man!!! Well, if you believe that ECT is God's needed justice, you are completely insane on this subject.

Sin brought about death, and that is why we die. BUT, Jesus did what we could not do, He reconciled man to God, and our sins are no longer being counted against us. Period. If you believe this you will "live" here and now, and in the age to come. If you do not, you will live like hell here and now, and you will miss out on the age to come. You will stay dead will believers that have fruit will be rewarded at the judgement seat of Christ. But you will be resurrected for the GWT judgement, and the correcting fires of the "lake of fire', afterwhich you will come into right relationship with God, and all others in the creation, "...that God will then be ALL in ALL." Everything is for God, everything in the heavens and in the earth. That folks is everything and everybody.

No scripture for that!
