Creation

[Si_monfaith]

I have a response but it would be a violation of forum rules to post it here. Suffice to say God is better than we are. Not to worry. He is merciful, just and compassionate. At some point, you just have to believe these principles and keep moving forward. Do what He said to do, and leave it up to Him. We will see and understand one day... and when we do we will be joyful and glad. As the Psalmist said His judgements are always just and beyond question.
Rest in that, and just know He will make it all right.

His judgements are always just

Is creating those who He knew beforehand would not believe in His Son, pertain to justice or His independent will?

If you force the question into that framework the rational, love answer would be no. I think we can only say what we have been told and do what he commanded us to do. We have to believe that He is not willing that anyone perish. We have to go forward with His command, to preach the gospel to all creatures. I do not have all the answers. But I do know when we stand before Him He is going to ask what we did with what we had. And questioning Him is not going to be an option. So we proceed with faith, obedience, and the knowledge that He is indeed fair, loving, and will do everything perfect and right.
And as I said before... I have a opinion but to express it here would be against forum rules. So...
