Of course he can. He IS the perfect Father and perfect Judge. The problem with Mormonism, Dave Hansen, and the rest of you who believe that God saves almost everyone is that you deny the doctrine of Christ which clearly teaches us that few find life (Mat. 7:14). It is a wicked heart which seeks to justify the world in their sin. Any parent who would not send their wicked son to the damnation of hell would be a wicked parent. Why do you think Jesus taught us the following? Luke 14:25-27 (25) And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, (26) If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. (27) And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. These are sobering thoughts, but they define righteousness for us through the revelation of Jesus Christ. Peace be with you. David Miller. ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
