FAQ: How could a loving God cast people into hell?
"And I have the keys of hell and death, signifies that He alone can save. By "keys" is signified the power of opening and shutting; here the power of opening hell, that man may be brought forth, and of shutting, lest, when he is brought forth, he should enter again. For man is born in evils of all kinds, thus in hell, for evils are hell; he is brought out of it by the Lord, to whom belongs the power of opening it. That by "having the keys of hell and death," is not meant the power of casting into hell, but the power of saving, is because it immediately follows after these words:
Behold, I am alive for ages of ages;
by which is signified that He alone is eternal life (n. 60); and the Lord never casts anyone into hell, but man casts himself. By "keys" is signified the power of opening and shutting, in Revelation also (3:7; 9:1; 20:1; also in Isa. 22:21, 22; in Matt. 16:19; and in Luke 11:52). The power of the Lord is not only over heaven, but also over hell; for hell is kept in order and connection by oppositions against heaven; for which reason, He who rules the one must necessarily rule the other; otherwise man could not be saved; to be saved is to be brought out of hell" (Apocalypse Revealed n. 62).

Every born again Christian is called by God. With all due respect, and I don't mean anything by this...I don't like to talk about the gifts God gave me. I always feel like I'm boasting. No offense.
May God bless you!

Praise God, i have been saved by the Grace of God. He gave me the gift to serve Him. He has used me in many ways.I drive the church bus, teach Sunday school, and many other things. I want to use my time, doing all i can for the Lord. He is the one who Blesses me, and supplies my needs. I put my Faith, and Trust in Him. Jesus never fails.

I have had no special "calling" from God, other than spread the word of the Gospel where ever I can. I have accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior and asked him to take over my life. It is kind of aggravating, though, when the "old me" breaks through. I have to pray about that for quite awhile. God bless and keep the faith.

Yes there is plenty of us who take on the world in here. I have been marked for death all my life, from birth to my heart attack in 02. The devil has been trying to kill me so I wont preach and testify of his GLORY he healed me of 7 deadly disease's. I have the records to prove it. Those of us who answer these questions are history in the making.
Its up to us to help spread the seed of the word of God to this heathen sin infested world. GOD BLESS US ALL AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

You have but to toss a stone into a crowd of people to find a Christian. Not very hard.

Simple answer: no
I never met a real Christian - though I did meet a lot of people claiming to be Christian.
