Bible Question: I know that there is a hell and why it exist, however I also know that a good over 80 percent of the entire pop. of the world would agree that torture is wrong. I wouldn't wish hell on anyone in this world. It is the ultimate torture that one can ever experience. I honestly want to argue with God over the issue. Actually I plan to when die. I just don't feel that sending people to hell for whatever reason gets them there is just too much of a punishment. Is it wrong for me to feel that way? |
Bible Answer: Muzka, You wrote: “I honestly want to argue with God over the issue. Actually I plan to when die. I just don't feel that sending people to hell for whatever reason gets them there is just too much of a punishment. Is it wrong for me to feel that way?” (sic) Personally, I think it is good you feel that way. Every soul is precious in the eyes of God and therefore should be to us as well. You should hate it when one is condemned to hell as much as the angels rejoice over one being saved (Luke 15:1-10). So do something about it!!! Luke 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. You can argue with God, He’s capable of dealing with your argument. So go ahead and argue and when you finally realize that your argument is faulty and based on a defective view of God’s sovereignty, you may realize how just God is. And then, just maybe, you’ll focus on keeping others from Hell by speaking the Gospel and of the saving power there is in Christ. This is much better than wasting your time arguing, wouldn’t you think? Don’t worry so much about whether or not we send ourselves to Hell or if it is God, but know that the latter is the Judge. Know that without God’s grace, we would all be destined for Hell. I view it as such; we all are, or would be, hell-bound, if not for God and His mercy, that through our faith in His Son, He decided long, long, ago to save some. 1 Corinthians 9:22, 23: 22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 23 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you. “that I might by all means save some; that is, that he might be the means of saving some of Jews and Gentiles, and of all sorts of men; by preaching the Gospel of salvation to them, and by directing them to Christ, the only Saviour of lost sinners; thus he explains what he means by so often saying that he might gain them.” – John Gill By all means my friend, save some.
