I wanted to respond to a few things you said. You say that "everyone, regardless of their choices and beliefs, is a beloved son or daughter of my father in heaven" While it is true that God does love them and Christ did die for them (john 3:16-17) Romans 9:8 says, "they which are the children of the flesh, these are NOT the children of God" you also refered to an after death oppourtunity for choosing Christ based on "fairness" what would be fair is for us to pay the wages of sin which is death...that would be fair (Romans 6:23 )says ,"for the wages of sin is death,but the gift of God is eternal life thru Jesus Christ our Lord" also, in Hebrews 9: 27 it says " and as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement." It sure seems pretty plain to me, we get ONE chance! Galations 1:8 says, "but though we,or any angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed" you may feel as though these are my interpretations of these verses, I feel as though the context is accurate...read it for yourself !
