Why would God create Hell? | by Naruki | 2003-02-27 10:47:32 |

Do you want an honest answer? | by Buffy_Fett | 2003-02-27 10:58:05 |

For every choice there is a consequence. He is very gracious - even after we royally screwed up he went to all the trouble of sending His Son to die to allow us a way to overcome our evil. But we still have to choose. We have our entire lifetimes to choose, and sadly there are many people who flatly reject God. Once you die it is no longer an issue of whether you believe in God or not - you WILL believe in Him, because you will KNOW at that point. Faith is no longer required and you're SOL. If there was always the possibility of redemption it would nullify the "choice" aspect.
