@fmf saidIt doesn't matter what you find interesting if God holds everyone accountable
I sense the foundations of Christianity's key components ~ misanthropy and narcissism ~ in this text. Neither word appears in it though, of course. But then the word "justice" doesn't appear either. Interesting.
for the wrongs, they have done.
@fmf saidNo, the one point in this is your overlooking more than likely on purpose is God on a cross. The only people who can receive the grace of Jesus Christ are bad people those who owe up to God they need His grace. You don’t want it, ignore it, presume to have it without Christ stay in the condemnation that their sins demand.
You being "held accountable" means what? You are going to "heaven", right? Despite "the wrongs [you] have done"?
@divegeester saidNone that He cannot atone for! That doesn’t mean all of our sins are automatically forgiven for reasons already discussed.
Are there any sins committed by anyone anywhere at anytime, which Christ’s atonement does NOT “account “ for?

You are not SUPPOSE to be able to think of anything worse that not being reconciled to God.
That is the point. To not be reconciled to God is the worst possible thing in the universe.
It is SUPPOSE to be conveyed that there could be nothing more unfortunate than to follow the Devil and his angels into the punishment prepared for them.
You don't know abut "billions and billions". You only know that by the time of the eternal age one must be recorded in the book of life or else he goes to the lake of fire.
Suppose ther ewere no salvastion and every last created being was lost forever?
Do you think if NOBODY was saved God would be not perfect?
Jesus said of Judas, that it would be good for the man who betrayed the Son of Man that he never was born. (Matt. 26:24)
There is nothing worse such that non-existence would be preferable.
It came out of the mouth of Jesus.

God is faithful to tell us that there is a greatest possible offense accompanied by a greatest possible judgment.
"I can't think of a worse thing" - then eternal damnation? Neither can I.
There is no accident to that.
Wouldn't it be better to be clearly warned by God than to be in ignorance?
@sonship saidWhen you put it like that it certainly does sound like an intimidating threat from a deity not completely in control of either their creation or their anger.

@divegeester saidGod is in control of His anger if not we would more than likely never be. Our race would have been ended a long time ago. Jesus on the cross was restraining judgment against us by taking on our guilt, His patience is amazing as far as I am concerned. There is a fixed day coming!

@divegeester saidMore than likely when you have to explain how you put your moral compass over scripture.
Is this the day all the people who have disagreed with you on the internet because they are “under the influence of demons”, will get their comupance?
