As for God's judgement, I get that as a creator, God has every right to do with his creation what he will. As an artist, I'm the only one who has the right to do what I will with my art (my creation)...even destroying it. For us, taking a life would be sinful...for God, it is His choice based on His righteousness. Our understanding is still so very limited since our perspective is trapped in this realm.
Romans 9:20 On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, “Why did you make me like this,” will it? 21 Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use?
How do we quantify the sin of rejecting Jesus Christ. Here is a situation where the creator of the universe actually becomes one of us to rescue us by being a sacrifice. And to reject that kind of kindness from the creator Himself is a such a dreadful sin that surely this must be the unpardonable sin. Yes it’s sin against God and a heinous crime. But it’s also a sin against the sinner by the sinner.

Great truth in what you said Lily! It shows the sovereignty of God. Thanks for sharing!

Isaiah 64:8 But now, O Lord, You are our Father,
We are the clay, and You our potter;
And all of us are the work of Your hand.

Stump the Panel: Why are there no women perspectives represented here? In panel or in those posing questions? An observation...
The reason why there is an absence of woman is because the T4G Conference is geared toward pastors. There are over 8000 men in attendance.
