Why did God create people who would reject Him?

with Michael Easley
Why did God create people who would reject Him? A complicated question with an answer that's perhaps simpler than you may think.

Q: Why did God create people who would reject Him?

“If we say that God created man to destroy him, we make God capricious and malevolent. If we say man has complete free will, we brush up against the doctrine of election/predestination. We can’t take a sovereign God’s view of man and say, “why did He send him to hell/why did He send him to heaven?”

God is not capricious or malevolent. We’re all headed to hell. Christ comes along and offers salvation, and some respond by faith. Those who respond by faith are the elect. Nowhere in the Bible does it tell us how to identify the elect. It tells us to make disciples of all ethnos.”

Mentioned:

Romans 9:17-24, Genesis 1:27
