12 How Could a Loving God Send People to Hell?

Index post : Rebecca McLaughlin Wrote a Book

How can a loving God reward someone so that he can never fall away from God, so that his salvation is eternally secure?

By making sure that at a certain time, the freedom to change one's mind runs out.

Well, it also runs out for the people who are stubbornly fallen from God, so they can never turn back.

If someone spends the last of his earthly life to spite God, his eternity will be without God to the last, and therefore miserable.

In a certain sense, it is possible that the physical torments of Hell are even a welcome distraction to the damned, compared to that bleakness, that emptiness, that total dysfunction of what should have worked (and in the saved ones does work) for their happiness./HGL
