God is not just a loving God, but is a just God. We all deserve to die. It does seems unfair that those who have never heard the Gospel would be judged and go to Hell. But in the first place we all deserve to go to Hell. We disobeyed God, and so all of us even those who don't know God deserve seperation from God. But God is also loving God and made a way to him. If only we accept Jesus Christ as our salvior. He took the penalty of death for us, yet while we were sinners he died for us. See, God is being more than just! He is also being loving and giving us a way to him. God wants those who believe in him to go around the world to tell those who haven't heard the Gospel so that they too may have salvation. We ALL deserve death and separation from God for that is what is truely fair. And those who are borne have been given the choice of paradise, so it's their own fault for not accepting Christ. Oh, I don't even know what Calvinist are, I am just a Christian who wants you to know what I know to be true.

Here is a properly spelled version of your Question. Feel free to submit it again. Have a good day.
For Calvinist, can you answer, why would a loving God condemn to hell people who cannot even repent?
Yes human beings are so depraved that they cannot repent Do you think that kind of God can be called a just and merciful God? Just having mercy on those he wants to? If that was the truth, would’t that God be even worse than the devil. Who after all, what he does is, tempt you and deceive you ,but it is your choice whether you accept Christ or not. God on the other hand, as Calvinism teaches, has already determined before the creation of the world who will go to heaven and who will not? What kind of God is that? They say that Christianity is only 10% of the world's population, I mean professing Christians, but out of those professing Christians only a few percentage of them are really born again Christians who will finally go to Heaven. The conclusion is that the vast majority of people will eternity be in hell, and the saddest part is that they didn't ask to come to this world, they were created by a God who justly will condemn them for ever with no other choice.

God is God, He does what He wants when He wants. God is a Just God but He will not be put up with evil forever and he promises to come a second time and judge the whole world. He intends to remake the earth, but unfortunately not everyone will be part of it. That is their choice not His, we have the choice to follow or reject Him.
Also it says in the Bible that God knew who would accept Him from the beginning of time. He also says if you knock, ask, seek He will show you the way. You do not have because you do not ask.
If you cannot accept Gods ways and want to serve a God you have made up in your mind, go right a head; but that will not get rid of Almighty God Creator of all, the Alpha and the Omega. It will not get rid of His judgement nor will it excuse those who reject Him.

Calvin was WRONG!
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow to keep his promise. He is not slow in the way some people understand it. He is patient with you. He doesn’t want anyone to be destroyed. Instead, he wants all people to turn away from their sins.
If God "doesn’t want anyone to be destroyed" then he would give them the opportunity. Either Peter is wrong or Calvin is, take your pick.
(Limited atonement -- Jesus sacrifice was not sufficient for everyone; Unavoidable grace -- God pre-chose who would become Christians and those people are robots & have no choice in the matter. Both of these are cornerstones of Calvin's teaching and are clearly un-Biblical.)
Total depravity & Original Sin Are denied by Ezekiel 18, a long treatise dealing with the idea of inheirited guilt -- Eze 18:19 “But you still ask, ‘Is the son guilty along with his father?’ No! The son did what was fair and right. He was careful to keep all of my rules. So you can be sure he will live.
Perseverance of the saints: see Galatians 5:4 Some of you are trying to be made right with God by obeying the law. You have been separated from Christ. You have fallen away from God’s grace.
Calvin's TULIP is ALL WRONG. Go to the scriptures. His points all lean on one another and are easily determined to be false.
==============================================
Judy derr refers to Romans 10:13 Scripture says, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Jesus said in Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven. Only those who do what my Father in heaven wants will enter."
Both of these must be true, so, What does it mean to "call on the name of the Lord?" Obviously vocal assertion is NOT ENOUGH!
We are saved by the grace of God, but we must obey his commands to receive that grace.

Who are you to question God? Will the dust complain to the sweeper about being put in the trash? Will the creature shake his fist at the Almighty? Can any say they have no sin? If all have sinned all deserve judgment yet God in His mercy sent His Son as a way of salvation for any who believe. Yes, God is Sovereign even over who is saved but He does not force any to rebel they rebel and refuse to believe willingly.

the respond is C. worldwide in the Greek NT is "cosmos" meaning order/worldwide, yet by no ability did that verse point out that each and each individual to have ever lived is enjoyed with the aid of God... here few verses supply you a situation for that love. have self assurance OR PERISH. What approximately Esau? And Psalms (hates workers of iniquity)? and each individual who's burning in hell suitable now? Does HE love those people burning in hell suitable now? Does the DISEMBODIED SIN get solid into hell or the SINNER?

What?
Why can't someone repent. As for the people who have never heard the Name of Jesus and of His mercy, they will be judged accordingly. In every person there is a God shaped hole in his/her heart.
Almost all people believe in something.
