No, God is just.

That's correct, especially to those of us who are saved.

Quote:He's not saving anyone on merit, either, but apparently picking them for reasons unknown to humans, as apparently even denying him isn't enough to send you to hell.  ?  Is this all correct?
He's saving people on the basis of Christ's atonement on the cross. You can accept it if you want, but you don't have to if you don't want to. If you accept it, that's smart of you, but you didn't merit it yourself - Jesus did.
