-Removed-God is getting precisely what He wants, a people who follow Him over the love for their own lives. For those that don't, it isn't God's failure; it is their failure; God is willing to accept all who come to Him for His grace, mercy, and Lordship. It isn't a contest for numbers blah blah, it is all about righteousness, goodness, justice, mercy, grace, and the love of God, where all of these things are played out without one attribute being used to the dismissal of other attributes. He will never dismiss justice and righteousness for mercy; instead, through His justice and righteousness, He satisfies His mercy so we can have His grace.
What you do is precisely what God doesn't do, saying accept all sinners as is because of love and ignore righteousness, justice, and holiness.
@josephw saidHe looks at scripture and, with his moral compass, decides what is worth accepting and rejecting, meaning what he wants and only what he wants to be true is. He doesn't trust scripture; therefore, we can quote it to him, and he blows it off because it is meaningless to him whether he is getting it right or not, only what he thinks is right is.
Another skewed version of Jesus from a scripture denying alleged Christian.
The scriptures DO NOT teach that "everyone" gets saved.
The scriptures DO NOT teach annihilation of the dead.

I used to think divegeester emulated FMF in his line of reasoning, but lately he's sounding more like Rajk.

Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. (Romans 5:18 KJV)
Scripture teaches that the evil are destroyed
If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. (1 Corinthians 3:17 KJV)
