Read this: Who are the elect of God? | GotQuestions.org From start to finish.

Again it's not paradise to them. Otherwise Satan and his angels wouldn't have transgressed.

Is it God's fault death entered the world? Hm.

Yes God is too loving to force creatures into heaven against their will.

You should have read the article fully, it answered most of your questions. Who would want paradise when you can be completely incinerated? Well it wouldn't be paradise for them. Like the angels who defiled themselves by sleeping with humans. They chose that over God's Kingdom. It's not like...

The definition of grace is undeserved favour. So no one deserves it by definition. We all deserve destruction. However, God chooses who he wants to have mercy on. This predetermination is based on His sovereignty, unchanging character (Malachi 3:6), foreknowledge (Romans 8:29, 11:2), love...

It's still by his grace (undeserved favour), similar to how Abraham is going to heaven through the cross of Christ as well.

Death and Hades just means the realm of the dead get thrown into the lake of fire to experience a second, permanent death. "But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the...

David's infant died, yet he said he knows he will see him again in 2 Samuel 12:23 Jesus said heaven belongs to children in Matthew 19:14 Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains. - John 9:41 So it's clear if someone...

Yes they don't have eternal life. So they will eventually die. That's how that works. Repenting out of fear of punishment is not genuine repentance. True repentance comes as a result of seeing God's divinity, love, kindness, grace, then seeing how vile and evil you are in contrast to him. You...

"In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I charge you 14 to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 which God will bring about in his own...

Didn't read the post did you? "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell." - Matthew 10:28 Do you think infants go to heaven if they haven't accepted Jesus as their saviour?

The Bible is clear that hell is a place where the soul is destroyed completely. See my post here: Where did Christian Universalism come from? - New or old?

Ah yes, the good old "a comma is missing, look at this textual variant, it's all corrupt!" We know what the NT originally said with over 99% accuracy. There are some discrepancies, but there's no real change in the theology. What Jesus said about hell is very clear. Yet you can even throw out...

Ah, so your response is the Bible has been corrupted. Where's the uncorrupted version to know it's been corrupted then? Or is it just purely speculation based on the few verses you gave? Note however that not a single verse you've offered proves everyone will be saved. Rather, the offer to save...

Well, he offered them acceptance and they crucified him... I don't know what else he could do to be honest. Should they crucify him again? But yes he is coming back to judge. You need to throw out a significant portion of the Bible to hold to your beliefs.

"Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure. - 1 John 3:2-3" Some people don't want to...

"Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed." - John 3:20 People hate Jesus. And they hate the truth. Why do you think exposing them to more of him and more truth will make them love him all of a sudden? It doesn't work...

Okay so where did I make an error? You can't just say "I'm right because I'm right". It doesn't work like that. You need to provide valid reasons for your beliefs. And when a contradiction is given (which I have done) you must refute them.

Since you believe in eternal conscious torment, please respond to my reply here: Where did Christian Universalism come from? - New or old?
