Hi,

In article <2691@burdvax.UUCP> devonst@burdvax.UUCP (Tom Albrecht) writes:

God loves all of His creation, whether the people He created choose
to love Him or not.  Look in scripture to see how Paul dealt with the
same question - start by reading the 21 verses that make up Romans chapter 5.

No, our part in God's gift of salvation is to receive the gift.

I imagine we make up our own heaven or hell; and at the judgement time,
God will let us live where we have chosen by how we lived our lives here.

He chose to, He didn't have to.  That's how much He loves.

God Bless,
