"But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:" 2 Corinthians 4:3



One deviantart member said to me, "Oh and if God loves us so much, why does he send half of humanity to hell for the most ridiculous things? because he's so 'loving'? Hypocrisy at it's finest." No offense to the DA member, but this question was all I needed to start my next journal topic about Hell. In the first journal, we read that Hell is a place of endless torment originally for the fallen angels who rebelled against God. (Ezekiel 28:12-19, Isaiah 14:12-16) After the fall of Adam, sin imparted to all humanity, making us all born as sinners and Hell bound. (Romans 5:12-14) God became a man [Jesus Christ], He became a sacrifice for our sins to save us from Hell. The bottom line is John 3:16 which clearly says, "For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten ( [a] unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life." NOW we can go back to the title which asked: "How could a loving God send a soul to HELL?"

“Oh and if God loves us so much, why does he send half of humanity to hell…”


Let’s first understand that God is very loving as John 3:16 and other scriptures says. The only true way for God to send a soul to Hell is if one does not have the Holy Spirit, “ Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3) So does this mean that an unrepentant serial killer can commit mass murders and won’t go to Heaven simply because he didn’t have Christ as his savior? Yes, but don‘t worry, “For we know Him Who said, Vengeance is Mine [retribution and the meting out of full justice rest with Me]; I will repay [I will exact the compensation], says the Lord. And again, The Lord will judge and determine and solve and settle the cause and the cases of His people.” (Hebrews 10:30) Now some people may still ask, “but isn’t God full of grace and mercy?” Yes, He is, but God is also a God of Justice; He can not break His own rules simply because ‘half of humanity’ perceive certain sins as righteous. (1 Cor. 6:9-10) Besides, would it be loving of God to allow even the most heinous, unrepentant souls into Heaven? And finally, what about John 3:16? I know some may feel as if they have no choice to accept Christ as their savior---which would be a smart move if you want salvation, but HELL is a choice, too. We have a free will, and yes, one can decide to ignore the gospel and choose the many paths to Hell.

The whole free will topic is interesting. I hope to do a journal on free will soon, Lord willingly. [/digress]


2 Peter 3:9 says “The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some people's conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance.” God doesn’t want anyone to perish which is why His sacrifice was not just for those who are predestined, but for everyone in the world. (Matthew 9:13) Remember, it is only if one believes on Jesus Christ as Romans 10:9-10 says, “Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation.”Salvation is FREE, but time is running out. Choose life. God bless, take care; stay tuned.
