But can you show us where God says all men are treated identically, equally, and in the same exact fashion?
No, you cannot. So, why continue this fruitless endeavor to re-create God in a manner that is more palatable?
There is no place in scripture that says: God arbitrarily (without a logical understandable reason) treats mature adults differently
concerning salvation. Yes, God does hate some people, but “hate” is not the opposite of Love and as we are to both Love and hate our parents, God can love (want to save) and hate a person (cannot work with them), so as an example God hated Esau, but that does not mean Esau was not saved in the end and in heaven.
The bible says; “God is just” and you even say that in this post, so what are the inspired writers of scripture trying to convey to the reader when they say: “God is just”?
Proverbs 24:27 An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous, but he whose way is
straight is an abomination to the wicked.
Duet. 16:19 You shall not pervert justice;
you shall not show partiality; and you shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and subverts the cause of the righteous.
2 Chron. 19:7 Now then, let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take heed what you do, for
there is no perversion of justice with the Lord our God, or
partiality, or taking bribes.”
Pro. 28:21
To show partiality is not good; but for a piece of bread a man will do wrong.
Is. 3: 9
Their partiality witnesses against them…
Luke 20:21 They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and
show no partiality, but truly teach the way of God.
Ro. 2:11
For God shows no partiality.
Gal. 2:6 And from those who were reputed to be something (what they were makes no difference to me;
God shows no partiality)—those, I say, who were of repute added nothing to me;
Eph. 6: 9 Masters, do the same to them, and forbear threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and that
there is no partiality with him.
Col. 3: 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward; you are serving the Lord Christ. 25 For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and
there is no partiality.
Is the only way God could show no partiality toward the nonbelieving sinner would be by treating them equally?
If God is choosing some nonbelievers over other nonbelievers for no reason, then He is showing partiality toward the ones He chose?
God is just. Everyone ever born of man deserves eternal condemnation. God is not obligated to save 1 person.
Jesus has shown and told us God’s attributes which includes God being “just”, which would communicate treating everyone equally.
Yes, we all deserve destruction, but God is offering to everyone equally an invitation to His Banquet.

God's mercy is dispensed according to His pleasure. Mercy is dispensed as God chooses, not as you or I approve.
It sounds like you have convinced yourself God must be at least as fair, just, and loving as you perceive man.
The standard is God, not man's feelings or thoughts. Whatever God does or doesn't do defines that particular attribute.
IOW, God's actions exemplify His Divine attributes. However God loves IS love. However God administers justice IS just.
Our standards of justice and love should originate with God, not our personal interpretations.
We cannot superimpose our personality characteristics over God's attributes because we feel a certain way.
Treating nonbelievers differently would not be “just”, so God does treat everyone equally in the one area that counts “Salvation”. That is the standard of Love and justice we are to follow.
I am not “superimpose our personality characteristics”, since Christ and the Bible has shown and told us how God is. The way God treated David is the way all sinners who repent are treated.
