When God does not allow the fresh case of sin, there would have been no retort case at all. By allowing the fresh case, God is also allowing retort case. Instead of this, He can prevent the fresh case by saving every...

Isn’t it?]
Swami replied:- All this is theoretical assumption only, which never happened from the beginning of creation and will not happen in future also. Can you say that mother...
