So if God loves us so much. Why would he send those to eternity in hell that refuse him. He calls it free will, but honestly facing eternal torture if you refuse him sounds pretty forced, it's like a stranger holding a gun to your head he will shoot you enless u shake his hand, sure technically its free will,but the consequeces are so great its shaking his hand is practically the only viable option. Then there is the whole question of if isolated people or people that have never heard his name or have been given a legitimate chance to know him go to hell, because if they do how is that in anyway fair or just; thats like getting a penalty in a game for violating rules that were never spoken. Also if he knows whats going to happen before it does, while being mercyful and loving; why does he create people that cause other people to spend eternity in hell along with themselves. Heck why not just snap his fingers and turn the devil to vapor? He is God he can do what he wants, yet he still lets the devil condem us. Sure he sent his son to die on the cross, but why was that nessesary. He says we are sinful, but if he created everything such as the devil, wouldn't he actually be the origion of sin. If he made everything perfect in the begging why was there the possibilty of sin in the first place. I kind of have a possible answer in my head, but it's only an answer to about half of this. Also a full explanation that's far fetched is there is an equal or slightly lesser of an evil God. Like all matter there is anti matter. Take your time answering this question, it should be interesting to see what you guys come up with. If I have opened up a new question for you i'm glad, take it to your priest or bibical leader. It is always a good thing to ask questions. Background: I have been going to church my whole life and am very knowledgeable about most of it. I haven't gone really at all this past year, because I feel as I already have a firm understanding of Gods rules it's just a matter of applying them, also a big part of that is school and sports. Have a good day.
