Some very good examples here of the clay telling the Potter how He should shape things. It is sheer arrogrance to suggest God does not love mankind after all God did for humanity in sending Christ to pay for our sins. Choose to reject God's love and you are choosing your own destiny, Just don't blame God or anyone else but yourself. Its funny those who claim they don't believe, argue the hardest for their own morality.

Charger: I can well understand what you are saying but remember you are a dribbling,piddling mortal human just like me :-) Now if God did not save everyone then He is a failure, and Christ as the Saviour of all mankind would be a total failure. It has been said that there has been 65 billion people on earth now stretching the parameters we could say that 5 billion are "worthy?" of salvation. Which means that the loving Creator God will have to feed 60 billion into the pagan ever burning torturous hell-fire - this from the God of love - NO-WAY! The same God that inspired Christ Jesus to command us to forgive our enemies, told Peter to forgive not 7 times but 70 times 7. Do you think that this God having inspired this would do any different - NO-WAY!
The best way I can descibe what I am on about is as follows - We created humans are like a group of children in a play pen hitting each other over the head with a spade and/or bucket and throwing sand in each others eyes. That's us as humans but as childhood only lasts for a short time then so our sojourn on this globe only lasts for a very short time. If you or I or my lovely wife were born into Bin -Ladens family we would be the same as he is. If we were born in Germany/Russia or anywhere else we would/could be another Hitler, Stalin or any of their henchmen or women. We are what we are because we have been born in Oz with all our many freedoms. God thinks in a vastly different manner as we dribbling piddling mortal humans. And what's wrong with saving every human being? Christians can repent others can't - but they will be given this wonderful opportunty in the future - as they have never been told and if told today would not believe for this they should be totally destroyed - NO-WAY! Boy I am so glad that God is in charge. Regards, numbat

Why wouldn't Jesus love Osama? Could Jesus not love Osama and still deplore Osama's twisted sense of justice through murder of innocent others? Both young brainwashed jihadist and their victims of the al-Qeada religious extremism.
Does his father not love him regardless of the shame of being a terrorist leader. Killer of innocents. Killer of Muslims. As disappointed as any father would be could he stop the love for a son? A child of his?

Numbat, I think you mean 6.5 billion (not 65 billion surely!) -- I think the main issue here is that people believe a supernatural entity is in charge. No doubt Osama believes his version of God is in charge. You’re glad your version of God is in charge.

At least one of you is wrong (or both of you to be more accurate). The only people in charge are us -- dribbling, piddling mortals.

God’s in charge and Jesus loves Osama. Jesus doesn’t love Osama as Jesus doesn’t exits. No matter how much you want it to be, its not.

It’s only people who (might?) love Osama. I’d be reasonable confident that Osama’s parents loved him. Terry Hick’s father loves his son no matter what his son is accused of. That is a natural human emotion; not a divinely inspired one.

R0bert’s post show us all exactly what kind of love God has for anyone who doesn’t believe in the bible’s version of God.

Do you think that includes Osama as well?

This has been attributed to several people but it's as relevant today as it ever was -

"Good men will tend to do good things and evil men will tend to do evil things, but to make good men do evil, this usually involves Religion".

If you're selling salvation, include an escape clause and you can excuse everything.

Why doesn't God appear in my kitchen and say "It's true Sharkfin I really do exist." Why all the need for secrecy?

Then we could have a chat and clear up some of the modern day questions like Euthanasia. Like "God did you let us discover these modern day drugs so that we could use them to die easily?"

I'm sure God will make his own judgement about Osama Bin Laden so we shouldn't worry our tiny human minds about it.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if mankind could all believe in God fullstop; without the need to fight over different interpretations of God.
