Hey!!! Remember when you said I was "passive-aggressive"? It was our first conversation. Well, someone else called me that!!! And it was an Admin this time. It might be time for me to talk to my therapist and ask for more meds!!
At least you can take a trip while still on the farm!

I totally know where you are coming from It is impossible that God could hold us against believing something for blind faith. In fact I think he might even hold blind faith against those who believe in the gospel. Because, blind faith just means they guessed right, nothing very meaningful in that decision.
Wow. Can I quote myself, here? I often say, "In heaven, we'll be surprised by two things....who IS there, and who ISN'T."
I just can't wait to get there so I can prove all these judger-types wrong!! Will it be a sin if I flip......

It's a very major trap. It's not that they wouldn't know what they did was wrong. It's they wouldn't have the remedy to that wrong, the gospel. If God leaves them without the remedy to their sin, how could he judge them to hell?
Then again, if I'm right and they had the possibility of not sinning, but God left them without the help of Christ in overcoming their sins, then I suppose they would also have some right to claim injustice if they were sentenced to hell.
Sounds like to me, if your bolded statement is correct, we had better stop sending missionaries overseas. We had better stop preaching the gospel period. We're effectively sending people to hell unnecessarily! Let them all live on in their ignorance and lack of knowledge, so that they may have their cake and eat it too...in heaven?

Your logic is perfect.

This reminds me of another hypothetical conundrum a friend asked me one day. He said, "Is it possible for God to create a rock so big and heavy, that he would be unable to lift it up?"

I have an answer. It's not impossible at all God cannot create a rock so heavy that he can't lift it. All rocks after creation are finite and God is infinite. The infinite is always greater than the finite
