GOD is NOT
PRO – LIFE
God –the source of all creation– has loved all that He created and found it very good (Gen. 1:31). But, while God's love is unlimited, it is conditional. There are those who have chosen to oppose Him by freely demonstrating their hatred for Him. God's love turns to hate for those who hate Him and if they fail to repent before final judgement His hatred becomes eternal.
While God's intent has always been for all created intellectual life to have only that which is good, He does not force holiness upon anyone. God gives everyone the free will to choose or to reject His love. He has never and will never love anyone who rejects Him by freely electing to live in mortal sin. By living in grave sin one lives apart from God's salvific grace. This does not mean that He does not give a sinner the opportunity to return to Him by acknowledging the wrong that has been done and asking for forgiveness. (One should understand that restitution (amends) must be made either in this life or in the next for wrongs committed before being enabled to enter Heaven.)
With the above understanding it should clearly be seen that God is pro innocent human life. God is not pro guilty life. Gospel passages clearly indicate that over 50% of human beings reject Him and are eternally condemned (Mt. 7:13-14; 22:14; Rv. 21:8). Such condemnation belongs not only to those who break a commandment but also to those who fail to do what is right and merciful (Mt. 25:45f; Rm. 15:14; 2 Thes. 3:6; 2 Tm. 4:2).
"God is Pro Innocent Life"
Those who have accepted the erroneous "seamless garment" opinion –a position held that defends sinful conduct and subjects innocent people to being harmed by guilty people– should now be aware that they have placed a false value on guilty human beings who are highly offensive to God.
Anyone who believes that God is fully just and merciful should understand that when God allows a person to leave this life, that person has either made a final decision as to being good or evil or will in some way have the opportunity, before final judgement, to make such a definitive final decision. When innocent people are forsaken in favor of those who are guilty before God, it is demonstrated that God is either not known or is not loved. One does not love God who does not obey His explicit commands.
