I think we disagree on what 'just' and 'fair' is and I guess we'll have to leave it at that. You're trying to impose a Western concept of justice and fairness on a timeless, cultureless God that is sovereign and not bound to any sense of ethics except is his own and these ethics are always fair and justice not\ matter how we may think about it. This is one aspect of theology that us Arminians can learn from Calvinists, imo.

No worries. I am sure that we will have temptations in life, I just don't equate temptations as bondage. Neither do I beleive that once a homosexual, always a homosexual. Know what I mean?
