CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Well, in some respects, I suppose it might seem that God might be more glorified if He saved everyone, but...
A part of God is his holiness and his justice. Without his holiness and justice, He would not be God. When His attributes are shown, He is glorified. God chose to show his great justice and holiness by punishing all unrepentant sinners in hell.
Another part of God is his great love for His people and His great mercy toward them. Without this love, we would all be damned. Now, this is only a thought, but when the day of judgement comes and Christ's church sees the fate of the wicked, won't all believers see JUST HOW MUCH God loved them? I mean, they will see what a just God has saved them from and that He sent His only begotten Son to die and bear their shame so that they would be saved from the torments which the wicked will receive. They will realize anew the fullness of His mercy and love for them.
Could this be part of the reason why God chose to order things the way that He did?
