So those of you who support these views are essentially against the existence of "free will" with regard to man's fate. Sure God created all in the heavens and the earth, but that does not mean he intends for certain people to go to hell. After all, if he did have full command of this world, then he wouldn't have needed Christ to die to defeat sin and save the people of the earth, past, present, and future. He could've said "satan, die" and that would've been that. And God didn't create evil. After all, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Sin and the devil is not God's means of weeding out the weak ones on the face of this earth. He tries to plant the seed of his Holy Spirit in all, in various ways, and some people hearts are hardened by Satan. It says God hardens whomever he wants; that's not to say he damns whomever he wants. You are damned if, at death, you have not accepted Christ into your heart and life. But up until then, God's Spirit works in you to "turn from the dark side", so to speak.
