Why would God allow the first man and woman to sin ... to suffer ... to endure the wickedness of rape, murder and pestilence ... you see Crakjak ... you're one step away from the very questions an atheist asks.
Love demands freedom is our canned response to the following ... while ....
The Skeptic's case: God is an egoist with a morbid, cosmic sense of humor who plays pranks on the world, making them fail at an obstacle course he sabotaged by allowing this to happen while being omnipotent .... to then play Savior in a drama that features Him as puppeteer and protaganist.
As sin came through one man ... our justification comes through one man ... a plan of salvation is afforded us onto Life ... as sin has brought us a way unto death ... this life is through faith ... condemnation and perishing through unbelief. (
John 3:16-18)
What the univesalist cannot give, ironically ... is credible and sufficient witness hermeneutically as to what happens beyond our first death as to all being "forced" or irresistibly professing faith in Christ .. other than forced proof texting and semantical games with Greek words like aion but never examining what this word and phrase means in the Hebraic mind, idiomatically.
