Why does God play favorites if he is all about justice? Seems odd that the revelations always end up in the middle east.

Can an ungodly person do good deeds and put kindness into the world through their choices and actions?

Those who want credit for their faith in Christ need only study the fall of Mankind to learn that we are incapable of anything but hate and contempt for God.

We cannot by our own nature come to Christ. Even that requires God's hand. A God-loving nature is a gift from God.

Regeneration before faith.

I’m not convinced of the “knowing they would immediately become rebellious, sinful, and god-hating” part. God responded to sin in order to redeem us, but His creation need not have been entirely pre-determined. That’s your Reformed theology, I understand, which is where other Christian traditions primarily disagree with Reformed theological underpinnings.

Only reason I bring it up here is for others who you’re rightly encouraging to think on these matters know that there is disagreement on bits and pieces of theology here, there’s lots of meat for us to all chew on together, and while we may not all see eye-to-eye on certain details, we’re still agreed upon the need for salvation through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who was, and is, and is to come, the only person on whom humanity can hope to be saved from the consequences of our sin and damnation to eternal death.
