And this is all "justice" to the Christian mind--at least to one that believes, rather than spins the bible.

In the tradition of Jonathan Edwards, and God dangling one over hell fires, like a spider. Why does the smallest sin MERIT the eternal wrath of God????
He created the earth and man, and has tolerated sin for thousands of years, if He doesn't plan on redeeming all of mankind why prolong the agony by adding billions to the torture chamber??? God is not a monster, and He will not fail in His purpose of man and the earth.
