I can't speak for anyone else, but I deserve to experience my Creators judgement. He has prepared a type of holding place for offenders, whether it's the same holding place where Satan spends 1000 years or not, that's God's choice.

I definitely deserve to spend eternity in the 'lake of fire'. And there I will be for eternity.
So God loves those He burns in fire FOREVER?

What He feels right at this moment, I don't know. But in the future He definatly will. To me that is fantastic news.

It not only gives me hope but a deeper love for my Creator.
Your unBiblical opinions are fantastic news to you? It's fantastic that humans will burn forever??? He will definitely love those He burns forever? What will He do to those He hates?

Our Creator will demonstrate His love for all of His creation in the future, including me who deserves His judgement and eternal condemnation.

For ever and ever. Not forever here.
For Ever what they done.
The beast and the false prophet must have done something terrible, and God was so angry that he had to do this to them, Of course my understanding is that I can't figure out what they did to make the merciful God think of such a way to treat them.

Thankfully this is not where it ends. Like Nineveh who God was going to judge and destroy. But that wasn't the end of their story. God's love, mercy and grace won out in the end.

We can pause the movie part the way through when all is looking grim, dire and hopeless and miss the exciting, happy ending.

God's love, mercy and grace will triumph when all repent, when all are shown mercy and when all receive the grace of their Creator and God.

As to when this will happen and how long ones will spend in the lake of fire only God knows that. But I know all will be reconciled to their Designer and Creator. Now this is brilliant news.

Like God's mercy when He drowned all on Earth but 8, making them an example? The Bible say more about God's wrath than His love!

Do you have children? Is your wrath directed at them out of love or out of hate?or both.

Sometimes,We can't use our human understanding to understand what God is doing.It is not something that eye for eye,blood for blood.

Soon to come!

Matthew 13:49-50
49 So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth, separate the wicked from among the just,
50 and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Bible distinguishes between the children of God and the children of the devil.
No all people are His children

1 John 3:10

In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.

It's impossible to be a child of Satan, and a child of God, you are either one or the other, not both.

Does God love the devil and the things of the devil? That would be the tares sowed by the devil in God's field.

We even have the parable explained by Christ as to the realty of what happens in this world

The tares (WEEDS) are not the children of God, they are the children of Satan.
Don't anyone dare to call them children of God.

The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares​

24 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ”

The Parable of the Tares Explained​

36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”

37 He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. 39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.

40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.

41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

How do you make sure your child doesn't choose to be the devil's child? How do you make sure you don't ask God to forgive your child? Do you consider the whole problem?
Maybe this shouldn't be a problem.

God makes sure. You are leaving salvation entirely in your own hands?

When our salvation is only in God's hands.
You can certainly pray for people.

Hebrews 2, what does this teach?

Bringing Many Sons to Glory​

10 For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11 For both He who [g]sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12 saying:

“I will declare Your name to My brethren;
In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You.”
13 And again:

“I will put My trust in Him.”
And again:

“Here am I and the children whom God has given Me.”

14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 For indeed He does not [h]give aid to angels, but He does [i]give aid to the seed of Abraham. 17 Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being [j]tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.

Have you ever seen where in the apostle's evangelizing, they told the unbelieving; God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life?

Did Jesus say that you will get whatever you ask of me?
How many people have really asked Jesus to save all those who are lost.
Most of the people I meet are like this.
1.they should go to hell.
2.everything bad come from the devil.
3.knowing love the enemy,but never happen.
4.don't know what is the skin for skin,eye for eye,
Revelation. 2:24
But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

I have found Christians who do not believe scripture, like this

Romans 3
9 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.

10 As it is written:

“There is none righteous, no, not one;
11 There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.
12 They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one.”
13 “Their throat is an open [d]tomb;
With their tongues they have practiced deceit”;
“The poison of asps is under their lips”;
14 “Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways;
17 And the way of peace they have not known.”
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

This is the world,so what to do?

Authoritative religious institutions defined doctrine as dead and then taught a group of people how to understand because of the wrong things. Do not complain that atheists do not believe, because the wrong things, people instinctively resist, I believe that the spirit of God is living in everyone,if not so we are dead already.

False prophets are among us, they distort the word of God, They're blocking the road of life, and that is the result of the world today.

So what to do?
