Hell, Angels, and Redemption?

James over at TeamPyro has an interesting post concerning hell, redemption, and angels. You might want to take a look at it.

Just thinking out loud here:

What if God were to create a race of beings, knowing they would fall, allow them to fall, and then do nothing to lift them back up? What if there were no mercy extended to them, no invitation, no restoration, no justification, no atonement, no redemption, no chance? What if God were to extend mercy to others, but not them? What if God were to make atonement and grant justification to others, but not them? What if God simply said, "One strike and you are out?" What if God said that to them, while on the other hand offering mercy to another group of fallen peoples, equally bad?

Would that be fair? Would it be right? Would it be just?

What if God sent Jesus into the world to die for one group of fallen persons, but not for all fallen persons?

Would that be fair? Would it be right? Would it be just?

What if God said to one group, "I will provide for you a Savior," but completely ignored the other group offering them nothing?

Would that be fair? Would it be right? Would it be just?
