Brother John, no one in this world hopes that Jesus is far more forgiving than His Word would indicate than yours truly. My son was killed in 1985, and I do not know where his spirit resides at this time. All I know is that wherever my son is spending eternity, God did what was right. The same can be said of this young man.
While amazing grace abounds throughout the Word, the fact remains that God gave us a knowledge of good and evil the moment Eve ate the fruit, and we are all accountable to God even if we don't know His name. For those who have heard, eternal punishment awaits those who call Him Lord but do not do as He says.
Sorry to have misunderstood you.
Terry
And don't you know, Terry, that "not knowing" must have been part of the reason why God has made it clear that we do not and cannot know for certain. I can't imagine loosing one of my boys. That's a tough one, my friend.
John
