Here’s the thing though... and I’ve been turning this over in my head a bit so bear with me if this isn’t entirely fleshed out...
Go back to my example... if god loves unconditonally but has a boundary on entry to his home (like I was saying - let’s use it as an analogy).... that boundary according to the Bible is believing in him and in Jesus Christ. That’s literally the only boundary given. Nothing else matters.
So say we don’t believe and we die, and are sent to hell. Clearly at that point we must be like oh shit - the Bible was right and thus believe because we won’t be able to not believe.
Why would human death mean the condition/boundary on entry to his house changes? We believe now, we can’t not believe. So why make us rot in hell for eternity? We’ve met the conditions.
And if the person needs to see to believe - then they can’t really be blamed for failing to believe earlier when god could have just shown them in a way they would have understood. He’s god.
God would like us all to have the faith of Abraham but will meet us with the faith of Thomas!!!
“And if the person needs to see to believe...”
Then if you really wish to see, the Lord WILL meet you where you are at (if you genuinely ask).
John 20
Jesus Appears to Thomas
24But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. 25The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
26And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. 27Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. 28And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. 29Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
