Who was "he" talking to?

God paid the ultimate price because of the fall, in doing so He made it easy to once again be restored to Him through Jesus and the grace that's extended to us. I know that atheist do not believe God paid a price of any kind, this has been argued here time and again and there is no need to rehash it. God does extend an invitation to all who seek Him and all one has to do is simple accept.

Yes, but the impression I am getting is that the invitation is not very clear because so many people do not find the right god. And many who seek do not find the right god, or any god at all. It does not seem as if God made it easy to be saved, unless he is willing to accept that his invitation is vague and many who tried to find him could not. Then he could have a contingency for those who sought him but did not find him, especially for those who sought him and fell into the hands of his adversary, which seems like a very cruel prank to play on people.

It's not a head ie. mind thing it's a invitation through the spirit, a conviction of one's need for God's saving grace. Until a person is willing to admit he/she is a sinner against God they will not receive salvation. Seeking out the God of the Bible means one is looking for a change in their life, God comes to those who are willing to accept Him. Only those who are saved have protection from the "adversary," only the saved have been delivered from his hands. The lost have always been in the clutches of the "adversary" and can only escape by willing searching out the God who has complete power over him, this is the reason God is the only true God, no other god can save you from Satan's death grip. Playing games in this life about the reality of God has deadly consequences in this life and the next.

A contingency plan?!? Be reasonable, man! There's only so much a loving, all-knowing, all-powerful god can be expected to do!

It's much simpler to leave the Rube Goldberg Salvation Plan in place, and sort 'em out later.

God will do the sorting later,when it's to late, He will sort the sheep from the goats and believe me at that time you will wish you were one of the sheep.
