    How can God be ok with most people going to hell?

    Your question is: How can a sinner dead in trespasses and sins display faith in the Lord Jesus Christ? Here is how the Scriptures teach about how a sinner comes to faith in Lord Jesus: Romans 10:14-18 – "So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But I say, didn’t they hear...

    How can God be ok with most people going to hell?

    Does "Colossians 2:13" state how or when He made us alive - before or after believing? If not, why are you using "Colossians 2:13" to prove your assumption? You prove nothing by quoting it. You are using human reasoning to explain away God's Words. Do you realize that? Lord Jesus never...

    How can God be ok with most people going to hell?

    What you should rather be asking is: How does God tell us, in His Word, when a spiritually dead sinner is made alive? The questions you should be asking yourself is, according to God's Word, Does God promise to make dead sinners alive so they can believe? OR Does God promise dead sinners...

    How can God be ok with most people going to hell?

    True, they were dead in trespasses and sins before being made alive. I agree. But were they made alive before believing or because they believed? Can you show me any Scripture that answers that question, because, right now, that is your assumption, as you stated: "Well, I would say before."...

    How can God be ok with most people going to hell?

    Regarding "Ephesians 2:1-10," does this verse say that God made us alive with Christ from death before or after we were willing and believed? Who did Paul write to in Ephesians? Could Paul have been teaching believers (Christians) what they already have in Christ since believing? Did Paul...

    How can God be ok with most people going to hell?

    You are going in circles and making up your own evidence. Go your way now. After this life is the Judgment and, like the five virgins who did not bring enough oil, all those who think they have more ages to be saved will be in for a rude awakening and a really bad sunburn when they find...

    How can God be ok with most people going to hell?

    In all the ages you mentioned (except for the eternal state of being that comes before the Judgment but after the Millennial Reign of Lord Jesus on earth) people do not come back to life to get another chance. In every age, people die once and await the resurrection of the just and the unjust...

    How can God be ok with most people going to hell?

    You turn to man's reasoning to explain away the whole council of God. In contrast, I have shown from God's word what God has to say about why he created us, and what His plans are for us. You have seen the God's word, but you want to explain away the things you dislike that God revealed and...

    How can God be ok with most people going to hell?

    God originally made us in God's Image, but after Adam sinned, Adam's children were in Adam's image - sinful and rebellious. Genesis 5:3 (WEB) Adam lived one hundred thirty years, and became the father of a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. Pertaining to woman, man...

    How can God be ok with most people going to hell?

    Mark 5:5-9 (WEB) 5 Always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones. 6 When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him, 7 and crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High...

    How can God be ok with most people going to hell?

    I agree that God is a consuming fire, a God a vengeance, wrath, and judgment, and that this does not conflict with his love. ‘God is life, light, and no darkness,’ which means that God is holy or sanctified in righteousness and love. God, who is holy, does not dwell with sin. Rather, hates...

    How can God be ok with most people going to hell?

    God is not only Love, but God is a Consuming Fire. You can't have one without the other. God is a Father only to those who believe. God is NOT the Father of the unbelievers. Galatians 3:26 … For you are all children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 1 John 3:6, 8 Whoever remains in him...

    How can God be ok with most people going to hell?

    The Koine Greek word “kolasis” (κόλασις) is definitely not directly derived from an arborist term meaning "to cut off" or "to lop off." Instead, kolasis comes from the verb kolazō (κολάζω), which means "to punish" or "to correct". The word kolasis itself carries meanings related to chastisement...

    So, what I am understanding from you is that the NT Greek scholars are wrong, but you are right? Regarding kolasis: The Koine Greek word kolasis (κόλασις) is not directly derived from an arborist term meaning "to cut off" or "to lop off." Instead, kolasis comes from the verb kolazō (κολάζω)...

    How can God be ok with most people going to hell?

    No Christian disagrees that God desires all people to be saved. However, God will only save those who will believe. 1 Corinthians 1:21 ‘Human wisdom leads to unbelief, but God’s good pleasure is to save those who believe through the foolishness of the Gospel preaching.’ And the Scriptures...

    Beth, I will not quibble with your vague responses; as if the Bible agrees with Jeff, while at the same time, you will not consider the Passages actually given, and of which you responded to.

    How can God be ok with most people going to hell?

    The Scriptures do not say that God is the Lake of Fire, but the Scriptures do say that God IS a Consuming Fire. Hebrews 12:28-29 ... let’s have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe, 29 for our God is a consuming fire. Do you believe the Scriptures?

    Beth, that should be a red flag for you and a warning if no Christian denomination teaches Jeff's doctrine.
