How can a loving God send someone to Hell? | GotQuestions.org

❤✝️ amen

the door of hell is locked from the inside
these people DO NOT WANT GOD
God grants them their desires

He has no where else to send them. Theres only heaven or hell as final destinations. so if you refuse to get qualified for heaven, you send yourself to hell, bc theres no other place for you. you have CHOSEN that destination by ignoring the qualifications for heaven.
Christianity is like driving! JESUS is the vehicle, but it cannot be used UNTIL YOU DECIDE to get in the drivers seat (ie get salvation) and turn the key (OBEY CHRIST/THE BIBLE)!!! and OBEY THE TRAFFIC LAWS (live a God honoring life) and THEN you literally DRIVE YOURSELF (choose wisely/act wisely/obediently) to Heaven!! IGNORING/rejecting/scorning Christ (salvation) youre going to walk in the ditch of life, in the mud, grass, stones, water etc instead of on the ROAD. the ditch leads to hell!!

Great job

People chose hell. Jesus, God's only son was sent to redeem us from the law. The gift of grace. Not to misuse, but are covered with if the person has a repented heart. The Kingdom of Heaven has rules that God created to run a tight ship. To devert chaos and live in peace. If you willingly choose to sin, to not follow God's rules, then which God are you serving or following. If you choose satan and his ways, he's your God, if you chose Jesus and his ways, it will lead to eternal life. Either way you have the right to chose.

My people perish for lack of knowledge" is a phrase from the Bible, specifically from Hosea 4:6, which states, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you from being priest for Me.".

God doesn't send anyone to eternal hell. They send themselves to eternal hell.
Jesus sacrificed himself to keep mankind out of hell.
He gives us a freewill to choose.

Thank you for this channel.

I pray that my family and i will all shall dwell in the house of the Lord together our whole lives long.

God has never sent one person to hell, everyone that went chose it just like they chose to reject the truth. Because the truth shall set us free!

God is so loving that He won't force anyone to be with Him for eternity. His presence gives everything that is good and his absence is also the absence of everything that is good. If a person chooses to reject God, it also means rejection of everything that is good. Hell is the absence of everything that is good and anyone in hell will experience everything that is not good.

I remember when I had a problem with this question but now I can fully understand why it is as we send ourselves there

Don't take the mark of the beast - those who take it do NOT love God. Period.

THE LOVE IS JUSTICE LOVE WITHOUT JUSTICE IS MADNESS...WE CAN LOVE GOD BUT WE CAN LOVE ALSO THE SIN..FOR CHRISTIANITY LOVE IS AN ABSOLUTE VALUE BUT WE LOVE IN JUSTICE THIS MEANS THAT WE MUST LOVE WHAT IS HIGHEST AND GOOD AND TRUE.
IN HELL THERE IS NO LOVE OF GOD THE DAMNATION IS THE ABSENCE OF LOVE FOR ETERNITY BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE SINCE THE WHOLE ETERNITY AND THIS DIVINE LOVE IS REVEALED IN JESUS CHRIST .AND WE CAN SAY THERE IS NO LOVE INTHE OTHERS RELIGIONS AS RABBINIC JUDAISM OR ISLAM....

I always liked the change of perspective. "How can a loving God allow a criminal into heaven for free?"
Cause its infact his grace that gets us there. We have no merit.

I think a harder question is, "How can an all knowing, and all powerful God send someone to hell?". Since God has always known everything and has the power to create the way He wants that means He knew who He was making to go to hell. If He didn't know this then He wouldn't be all-knowing and wouldn't be God. God has to be all-knowing since He is God, so He knew when He was creating a hell-bound soul before that soul sinned.

Excellent video!

AMEN ! Jesus Christ ! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼🙋🏻‍♂️

I am personally and passionately a condition immortalist because I i disbelieve the doctrine of eternal torment. I think im more inclinded to believe that maybe the fire isn't meant to inflict physical pain, but to destroy us by God's holiness. (I like to think the final destruction will be when each sinner will experience the pain God Himself feels everytime we sin, and each blow slowly destroys us. Now I'm sure this is a bit fetched, but eternal torment really makes no sense biblically or theologically.

Beautifully and clearly stated! Praise Jesus! 🙏

Nope. Justice & Love ar separate and are expressions of a Benevoluten ( Good ) person.

Justice has to do with doing what is right, fair, reasonable, ethical & good when when making & enforcing rules & law. This is clearly not part of love but is part of being a benevoluent & Holy God who is all powerful, all present and all KNOWING.

Correction. Hell was created bay a "just" God to punish sin (breaking the law) by Angels & Man.

The punishment for sin by Angels is forever in Hell. But God will likely destroy Hell after Judgement day beause this would only be the "correct" thing to do as a Just & Holy God who loves all of His creation by hates sin.

The punishment for sin by Man is death in Hell after 3 days. Hell can only destroy a sinful soul. And Mankind is born with a corrupt body but a perfect soul. However the MInd of Man .... is body & soul ... so when the body sins it will die on Earth and condemn the "perfect" soul to Hell. So your Mind transfers to the soul after the body dies ... and the soul remembers everything the body thought & died from conception as it is procreatd fully developed.

And 3 days is the maximum any Human Being has lasted before sinning & finally dying (cease to exist).

Jesus had to endure 3 days in Hell being tortured by Fallen Angels to sin ... but He remaind pure & sinless, fulfilled the 3 days that will kill any soul ... and therefore was resurrected spending 40 days in Jerusalem fulfilling Jonah ... before be raised to Heaven with a NEW body.

Again. Only the body has been corrupted by the Fall of Man .... but .... Man is body & soul ...so if the body sins the Man (body & soul) must die. So however sinful our body is ... our soul remains perfect ... but it becomes our Mind when the body dies and is condemned to die in Hell.

By Jesus become the Pure passover Lamb ..... our perfect soul is saved from going to Hell ( & sinning) .... ... and just like Jesus, we are given a new body and a Holy natue so that we can only think & do good.

The question should be, "How can a just God not enforce the Law and not punish Law breakers? God didn't. God enforced the Law for sin by Man ... by becoming the sin sacrifice ....that will satisfy His just nature. And God so loved His creation that He sent His only begotten Son, so that none will perish but have everlasting life through simple faith & belief in God.

Excellent - thank you very much

Thanks!

A loving God will sadly allow someone to determine their own fate.

Every time I doubt God's Love, I remember Jesus sacrifice in the Cross. Only a loving God could do that! I like this explanations, I try saying to myself, focus on what is certain and what is true, It is true that no matter the sin it can be forgiven if we accept Jesus in our hearth , and accept that he died in the cross and he came back to life we can be cleansed regardless of sin, a sacrifice so pure and perfect that makes sin irrelevant.

God🕊️ never send Somebody to Hell people make their own choice to live separately from God and they will get what they want a totally a eternal separation of a Good God God himself is Al the goodness Hel is a Place where there is no Good because he is not there! Jesus Loves you he wants a relationship with you no religion he never send Somebody somewhere. You make the choice if you wanna Live with the Essence of all Good our loving God or live separately from God where there is no Good without God!❤️✝️ He died for Sinners not rightouss come to him just the Way you are he will not fail you❤️ for God is Love

My first thought on seeing the title was the hypocrisy of many of the people who ask this question. They themselves are not willing to live in the same house with some people, so they have their own answer.

How could a loving God take someone to Heaven who does not want to be with Him?

All are born with original sin except Christ so God does not send people to hell as all deserve to be sent to hell because of original sin.

Hell is the state of "self-exclusion" from communion with God.

I’ve wrestled with the same question. To me, the most difficult apologetic question to address is why didn’t God create a universe of only every created being that He knew would freely choose Him like the angels that never fell and those of us who ultimately repent and believe?

In other words, why didn’t God choose to specifically NOT create satan and the unbelievers with respect to His foreknowledge that they would ultimately reject Him regardless of circumstance?

Let’s ponder hypothetically the scenario where God indeed instead created a universe where ALL beings willfully loved Him and had never chosen sin like the angels that never fell (because nothing is impossible for God). If, in this hypothetical thought experiment, none of us had ever sinned and required atonement, do you think even according to our fallible human understanding, that it would’ve been the course bringing God the most glory? I argue far from it, we will love him freely and FAR more deeply because of the plans He has set forth and the lessons He has afforded us. What He has done by sacrificing Christ has made plain how rich the stores of His love for us really are.

One could refute this idea while still arguing that God’s glory and love through the redemptive work of Christ could’ve still been accomplished because man likely would’ve sinned on his own accord without the temptation of satan and thus still required atonement and been saved through grace. In other words, there is the rebuttal that there still would be a way for God to make plain His love, glory, and authority over sin in a universe without having to send anyone to hell if He simply did not create those that would ultimately, by their own free choice, reject him in unbelief and unrepentance. But would this have brought Him the most glory, or fostered in us the deepest love?

I think the answer is no because God didn’t ultimately go that route and His plans are perfect. Let me explain, I think the most plausible explanation for creating lucifer and those who will end up in hell is perhaps to deepen our understanding for our greater good by revealing how far created beings can fall, and the dependence we have on God’s goodness instead of our own frailty by comparison. In other words, I am presenting my best feeble attempts at an explanation and thinking it is to make plain the futility of self-dependence. It’s admittedly difficult to argue though, that those that He has saved who sincerely believe don’t already know this, even the holy angels before satan’s rebellion seemed to have understood this and thus did not decide to fall away with him. Thinking further about this I come to one final conclusion. The existence of hell being the reality of consequence to unatoned sin was necessary to definitively demonstrate the enormity of what Jesus Christ saved believers from. In other words, in addition to the work completed by Christ on the cross, it further illustrates His love for believers in greater detail than if apostates hadn’t been created, and we would’ve thus been left oblivious to have avoided such a fate. It informs us what being separate from Him means and how much grace has been given to us.

Luke‬ ‭7‬:‭40‬-‭43‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
“And Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he replied, “Say it, Teacher.” “A moneylender had two debtors: one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. When they were unable to repay, he graciously forgave them both. So which of them will love him more?” Simon answered and said, “I suppose the one whom he forgave more.” And He said to him, “You have judged correctly.””

I’m just gonna say it. But I really think people should stop teaching that “God is all loving”. Because that contradicts the scriptures. It’s better to say God is love, but not all loving. He is loved towards his sheep, the believers, but not towards the wicked. There are incident where God does hate the wicked people. “As it written, Jacob I loved, Esau I hated.” “you hate all workers of iniquity. You destroy those who speak falsehood. God Abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.” Psalm 5. And also God does send people to hell. If you say you send yourself to hell you’re implying that you a sinner have authority over your life and not God. “Fear, the One who, after He had killed, had authority to cast into hell. I tell you fear Him. Luke 12: 5. yes, God is the one who sends people to hell. Also, the argument that he was only meant for Satan and the angels, but enough for men is kinda dumb. If anything, Jesus would give a threat. When people heard that I bet they were like “wait the fire is for the angels that chose to sin? So that means we’re gonna be cast there as well because we have sinned.”. The final thing I wanna say is the adult question why doesn’t God save everyone? Well, “On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? Will the thing molded say to the molder, “Why did you make me like this”? Or does not the potter have authority over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? And what if God, wanting to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath having been prepared for destruction, and in order that He might make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory.” Romans‬ ‭9‬:‭20‬-‭23‬‬‬. Look, the only reason why people don’t fully come to Christ is because God did not predestinate them to come to Christ. If you want to save everybody, then everyone will be saved. Because God is in the heaven and he does whatever he wants. Now people go to Peter 3: 9 to prove that God wants everybody to save, but they read all of second Peter, they’ll realize that it’s referring to the sheep. God desires for all of the sheep to come to repentance, not every single human being. To put a simply Calvinism is objectively true because the scripture said so. I believe this not because I want to, but because it’s what the scripture says. The reason why people don’t like teach this stuff is because it’s offensive. People Want to think that we’re better than God. Whenever people teach “you decide for your salvation”. What you’re really saying is “you have control over your life, not God.” When you teach God is trying to save everyone you make God look like a failure and weak. you make him seem like a failure and not all powerful.

Vessels of wrath fitted for Destruction
Has not the potter power over the clay!

Amen Brother Nelson! As It Is Written! KJV - Hebrews 10 : 26 “For If WE Sin Wilfully After That WE Have Received The Knowledge Of The Truth, There Remaineth No More Sacrifice For Sins,”

The right questions and the right answers: “How can a holy God cast sinners into hell?” Answer: Because he is holy. “How can the God of love let the saved go to heaven?” Answer: Because he is love.

Human's want free will. God gives it to us. Why blame God for our "Life Choices?" You will send yourself to Hell. God will let you have your way. It really is that simple.

Here's a question for those who would ask such a question. How could a loving God allow those who hate Him and His people into Heaven? Especially when He wanted to save them but they hated Him and rejected Him?

That is funny I find no love in God, only a self righteous spirit calling us all sinners worthy of hell

For example:
1: family's. God will be taking a holy sword to each of your marriages with a loving smile on his face, after he sexually uses you for procreation he makes you like the angels in heaven neither married or given in marriage. He says so dead is your love for your mate, a widow can remarry for I give you all shit and I love it for my kingdom holds no marriage so bend over and breed saith the Lord of love and build my holy kingdom in holy sacrament marriage.
2: the Cross: here we have a self righteous God smiling at us sinners saying Jesus needed to be beaten like a dog and sacrificed after I make him beg like a dog to not have the cross for I am love, I laugh on high only I am good and holy and no matter your state of mind no one can be good like me for I am sin and the God of it and I call satan God of this world. I loved nailing my son up full of holy glory shouting only a GOd can kill himself and rise and yoke love from everyone as they all say for me as my grace is sufficient.

God is not love. He destroys love and curses everyone to be like the angels after he breeds you like lovely cattle as God smiles on high on his heavenly no marriage in heaven throne and his gift of grace making his son beg like a dog to not have the cross and smiling at us like a holy moron only God is good.

Omg the way this person has to twist backwards to answer the question. You people are sick.

how could a loving judge send someone to prison?

Let's start with some definitions. The Holy Bible is written in verses; therefore, discernment and wisdom are important when interpreting it.

- Heaven is where God is present and it is His will only that prevails.
- On Earth God is omnipresent (through the Holy Spirit) and sovereign. Mankind has dominion but is influenced by spirits such as the Holy Spirit, the satan and other fallen angels. The counterparts of the fallen angels on earth are the Nephilim.
- Hell or the lake of fire is where God the Father is absent. Whatever exploitation, oppression, injustice, lawlessness, or evil happens, God the Father does not intervene as He did to wipe out evil during Noah's time. There is no salvation after Jesus.

A father will not literally burn his child just because he spent his tuition money on entertainment. The child is punished when his life is turned into hell unable to find a decent paying job to live a comfortable life and has to work in the gig industry or become a drug addict.

So yes God is Love. We suffer from the consequences of our acts. It is not God who is making their lives miserable but others who are exploiting and oppressing them - and there is no hope (like a valley of dry bones) of justice (by wiping out wickedness with the flood) or salvation through Jesus.

The main sin is not to do the will of God. When one follows Jesus he accepts the covenant in the Lord's prayer.

Hell is a kingdom for anyone unwilling to serve God but themselves (pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth).

Is it justice to punish the sons for their parent sins?

The descendants of Adam don't even know what their sin, yet they have to suffer because of Adam's sin.

If this is justice, should we follow God's action by punish also the descendants of the criminals ?
