Brother John, no one in this world hopes that Jesus is far more forgiving than His Word would indicate than yours truly.  My son was killed in 1985, and I do not know where his spirit resides at this time.  All I know is that wherever my son is spending eternity, God did what was right.  The same can be said of this young man.
 While amazing grace abounds throughout the Word, the fact remains that God gave us a knowledge of good and evil the moment Eve ate the fruit, and we are all accountable to God even if we don't know His name.  For those who have heard, eternal punishment awaits those who call Him Lord but do not do as He says. 
Sorry to have misunderstood you.
Terry

Terry, As usual you are so right on. Izzy

 

13   "(11) Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.
14   "For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
15   "Beware of the (12) false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are (13) ravenous wolves.
16   "You will (14) know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?
17   "So (15) every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.
18   "A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.
19   "(16) Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20   "So then, you will know them (17) by their fruits.
21   "(18) Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
22   "(19) Many will say to Me on (20) that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?'
23   "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; (21) DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'--Jesus
