God created George knowing full well George wouldn't be a Christian (because God knows the future). George dies and is sent to h**l. Why did God create someone he is just going to send to h**l?

  1. Alright, in an effort to offer something different, and not repeat anything already said,



    1 - We cannot assume the value God places on Free Will is equal to the possibility of people going to h**l when he made us.  In other words, perhaps God (in his infinitely deeper wisdom than our own) sees Free Will of the human race, along with all of the sin and misfortune in the world, as more crucial than the latter.  Perhaps to have one person come to Christ is so worthwhile, that to have 20 people reject God is fine.  I realize this is contradictory to God's all-loving nature, however, in God's perfect character, he cannot bypass Free Will and let anyone into Heaven; this is why I say that Free Will is perhaps altogether more valuable than a lack thereof.  I must admit lastly on this point, that I do not know these things, they are simply examples and arguments to illustrate the faulty assumption being made here.



    2 - Pre-destination and Free Will are mutually exclusiveWhat I mean is this: the fact that George (in the eyes of God) was always going to h**l, does not negate George's Free Will in any way.  While God knew all along that George was going to h**l, he puts a certain value on Free Will which we may not be able to grasp (pnt. 1).  Before George, there was nothing - for George to have existed at all, at the will of God, is infinitely loving in so many ways.  For George to reject his maker is antithetical to the love Christ offers us.  I like to picture it this way:

    God has an idea of the human race, our world, and everything that comes along with our nature (which is inevitably moulded by our Free Will).  He realizes from the outset that there will be good seeds, and there will be bad seeds.  He has to make a decision as to whether creating them out of nothing is worth this discrepancy.  He then (as we know) decides to carry on with the creation of the human race, knowing full well that many will not find him in the end, but realizing at the same time that to create something out of nothing is the righteous decision.  Do not forget, that although he knows some will never find God, their Free Will has never been taken away, so the ball is truly in our court. 



    3 - Christians do not hold all of the answersI must admit, I wish I had a perfect answer to all that which is only known by God; I do not.  Christians will attempt to answer these tough questions in sincere defense of their beloved faith in Jesus, and don't get them wrong, they are simply devout.  Do not, however, mistake their claims and attempts at answering inherently impossible questions as Godly doctrine - sometimes even this falls short.  In many ways, h**l is explained, but not in the rational logical terms a human mind desires.  Unfortunately this is all we have.



    4 - Love must be seen through God's eyes.  We have human conceptions of love, which include non-violence, compassion, good deeds, and so forth.  Contrastingly, God's conception must be different.  His compassion and love are in infinite terms - something we cannot grasp; while we do not include justice (in any way) in our conception of love, God does - without justice, there is no complete and equal love for all.  In this sense (and remember, I am only making a human interpretation of God's will), justice is a prerequisite for treating all humans justly and equally.  In other words, I believe this translates into God's version love.
