That's what I'm saying, especially at the Bold. From what I understand, some people are just 'stuck' good or evil. Their heart is destined to be good or evil regardless of how much a person tries to change it. They can act good or evil, but their identity will always be the case. It's completely up to luck whether their heart is good or bad. If that is the case, don't you believe that it's extremely unfair that God judges people over something they have little-to-no control over? |
Maybe. But isn't it unfair regardless? And what if, even if the root was unchangeable, it still allowed us control over what would constitute the full set of God's requirements (if we're to dive back into the theological aspect)?
Add to that the infinite saving power of the Messiah, and I don't think it's unfair in the very end, the choice is too free. One would have to be excessively evil such that, in full knowledge of the work of Christ on the cross, was unable to choose good over evil, since biblically Christ actually does perfection for you, in essence.
It's basically like being given heaven, and refusing. In the end, bottom line, hell is the choice.
