Would you accuse God of injustice? Is He not the judge of all, knowing even the secrets of men's hearts not merely outward appearance?So do you think its just when person2 and 3 will be saved, but person1 goes to eternal punishment?
My answer is that it would not be just judgment, what's is your opinion?Would you accuse God of injustice? Is He not the judge of all, knowing even the secrets of men's hearts not merely outward appearance?
Just judgement would be all go to hell, because we all deserve it. But he is merciful to some. How is that unjust, unless to Christ who didn't deserve it?My answer is that it would not be just judgment, what's is your opinion?

Living here and then all to everlasting punishment? Would you call that good life/life after system? Create humans a little while, then throw them to everlasting punishment no matter how they have lived?Just judgement would be all go to hell, because we all deserve it. But he is merciful to some.

The scripture says God does not show favoritism.Hey you, what do you think or believe when you look at this topic?
please share with us these thoughts.
I’m talking about people in the modern day.
Does God favor some believers over other believers?
If you believe so, why? How come?
Are there scriptures that can prove otherwise?
We are all sinners. Yeah, that's what we deserve. But no, I didn't say he created for that purpose. I said he had mercy on some, as he had planned from the beginning.Living here and then all to everlasting punishment? Would you call that good life/life after system?

I would not dare accuse God of injustice. If He did not guard the one who spoke blasphemy, it would be because something in that person's heart. We see only outward things, but God knows the heart and judges accordingly. Ultimately, what is righteous is that we believe God and part of that is recognizing our own judgments can err but His never does.My answer is that it would not be just judgment, what's is your opinion?

Not completely sure what you mean with outward things. Would say my self-examination does involve inward things. If the iniquity was that strong that it made him say it.I would not dare accuse God of injustice.

I'm having trouble following your thinking here. Why are you now talking about a church worship service? What does your scenario, here, have to do with the ongoing discussion?You are in church others praise god. You decide to praise god too, because its considered good thing to do yet in your heart you feel like you dont want to praise at all.
8This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. kjv matthew 15:8-9
Its comment of do you really think this way in your heart.I'm having trouble following your thinking here. Why are you now talking about a church worship service? What does your scenario, here, have to do with the ongoing discussion?

not necessiary, but i wouldnt be suprised if another person is more blessed than the other. Or some have gotten more talents than the other.It's a good comment. People are capable of thinking all kinds of silliness about God! Of course, if your idea of God is that He's like a human boss with whinsical favourites then you are going to miss out on having a relationship with Him that is based on trust and love.

48 But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more. NKJV luke 12:48
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. 21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. NKJV 2 Timothy 2:20-21
So do you believe Gods system is just and fair? Blasheming himself is worst of all sins and even further calls that to be unpardonable. Are you afraid to answer to my example? Is it just that this pastor would go to hell while these other two would be saved? Some other creator could just tell us how to live and afterwards according to how each have liven give them punishment or reward. And some other creator might care more about people and wont let them be tortured by unseen creatures. Think who even creates such nightmare to be possible, is that the great, holy and loving god? People living so nicely and happily that they seem to forget realities. You might not even know whats going on behind what you dont see. You have no idea how deeply i have suffered.We are all sinners. Yeah, that's what we deserve. But no, I didn't say he created for that purpose.

You speak againts dictator you might get killed.
Person1: 30 years of blamess walk as Pastor. Has brought thousands of souls to christ. Then in the day affliction he is not able to keep his mouth shut he commits the unpardonable sin. Is more holy, just and loving than those other two. According to gods word he goes to hell.
Person2:Before coming to faith has lived in all kind of pleasures. Has enjoyed the world in its fullest. 1 year before dying comes in faith , not able to do much but still will be saved.
Person3: Christian who during his walk shows little no none love, has poor fruit, does premarital sex, takes divorce with his wife with lightly reasoning, sometimes falls to drinking too much, teaches wrongly which causes some people to lose their faith. Does not live that holy, does not even want to be that holy.
goes threw fire, works are burned, but is saved.

Its really not that complicated. Whoever believes in jesus will be saved. No point to start making if, ifs.I assume that you are referring to the following I had not seen (and so didn't answer). Had to look a bit to find it:
Wow, it doesn't look to me like either the first or third are of the Elect --they are not saved-- and the second, I'm not so sure --you aren't very specific what you mean by "comes in faith" but I guess since you assert that he will be saved that he will be. The Elect are unable to commit the unpardonable sin, because only those whose sins are pardoned will see the Kindgom of Heaven, and none of the Elect will be lost.
Your current question is revealing about you some of your assumptions behind your 3 examples.
1. More holy and just according to whom? And here you seem to forget that the Bible says that all that the Father gives to the Son will indeed be with him forever. What God has begun, he will complete. (A further note: What even well-seasoned Christians may think is the unpardonable sin reminds me of a child telling their parent, "I hate you". It may sadden the parent, but the fit of rage is only that, and the words don't mean much.)
2. That a person who "comes in faith" (I assume you mean, be regenerated and repent), who is unproductive in the eyes of some is unproductive in the eyes of God, or more to the point, is not precisely where God had in mind for that person at that point in life. There is no "typical" 1-year old Christian to use for reference here.
3. You seem not to know that those God has regenerated will by their change of heart and mind want to be holy.
4. ...And now your current question:
Agreed I have no idea how deeply you have suffered, nor do you have any idea how deeply Christ suffered --and no, I'm not talking physical pain there, either.
Not to make little of what Christ refers to as the unpardonable sin, but it could be said that all sin is blasphemy against God, and is calling the Holy Spirit a liar. Sin is that serious a thing.
But all that aside, I don't take your examples to be representative of reality, nor do I take your accusations of God seriously. He is just and fair, and you have nothing to throw at him. You sound like a child throwing a tantrum. If God says, even in Ezekiel 12:33, "...'The righteousness of the righteous man will not save him when he disobeys, and the wickedness of the wicked man will not cause him to fall when he turns from it. ... If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, he will die for it.' ", are you going to call him unjust, or maybe rather, merciful to the undeserving? Have you any idea how bad evil is?
It is hard enough for my mind to deal with the idea that God would create something that is outside (or other-than) himself, but that that creature should be able to rebel against him is more than I can soak in. Yet here we are.
And in the end, can you say that any righteous works of man deserve God's respect?
