1 | do we have any free will? | Bible general Archive 1 | home church | 368 | ||
If some people are chosen for salvation and some are chosen for hell how come the Bible says that God didn't make hell for people but only for satan and his angels, and how come we seem to be able to choose to sin even after we are saved. This would seem to go against God's will for His children. any help on this one would be much appreciated. | ||||||

God will never send anyone to hell. We send ourselves. It is a choice we make when we refuse to accept God's free gift of salvation. | ||||||

That is not what the Bible teaches. God indeed sends people to hell. "But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS: to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation." --Romans 2:5-8 The unregenerate are storing up the wrath of God. It is God who will render to all men according to their deeds. Wrath and indignation are going to be poured out eternally on those who continue to oppose God until death, and it will be God who will be doing the pouring. To say that we send ourselves to hell is not quite true, because that neglects to acknowledge God's role as Judge, a role in which he glorifies Himself by punishing the enemies of righteousness. The unsaved choose to continue in disobedience, but it is God that does the just punishing. --Joe! |
