Seems kind of gay of Him to ignore the greater good and let more people suffer.

Then why did God create Hell so most people could condemn themselves?

You mean freewill to choose who loves you, who takes care of you?

Why attack God? He may be as miserable as we are.
God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.

God doesn't send anyone to hell.
People send themselves.
John Calvin sends most people to hell, not God.
God does not ignore our good. In fact, it counts whether you are a Christian or not. Some churches teach that unless you follow their particular formula, (which isn't in the Bible anyway) you are going to hell.

Neh. 13:14, Psalm 11:7,28:4, Isa. 3:10, 59:18, Jer. 25:14, 50:29, Ezek. 9:10, 11:21, 36:19, Hos. 4:9, 9:15, 12:2, Sir. 16:12,14 - The 2,000 year-old Catholic position on salvation is that we are saved by Jesus Christ and Him alone (cf. Acts 15:11; Eph. 2:5).

But by the grace of Christ, we achieve the salvation God desires for us through perseverance in both faith and works. Many Protestants, on the other hand, believe that one just has to accept Jesus as personal Lord and Savior to be saved, and good works are not necessary (they just flow from those already saved). But these verses, and many others, teach us that our performance of good works is necessary for our salvation.

Scripture also does not teach that good works distinguish those who are eternally saved from those who are not saved.

Sir. 35:19; Luke 23:41; John 3:19-21, Rom. 8:13, 2 Tim 4:14, Titus 3:8,14, Rev. 22:12 - these verses also teach us that we all will be judged by God according to our deeds. There is no distinction between the "saved" and the "unsaved."

1 Cor. 3:15 - if works are unnecessary for salvation as many Protestants believe, then why is a man saved (not just rewarded) through fire by a judgment of his works?

Matt. 7:1-3 - we are not judged just by faith, but actually how we judge others, and we get what we have given. Hence, we are judged according to how we responded to God's grace during our lives.

Oh I have to beg to differ with you here. God does not send most people to hell. That is a choice that they make on their own. In the Holy Bible, you will read that He gave his only son, Jesus Christ, to die on a cross, for the remission of all our sins, so that everyone can be saved. All we have to do is choose to be saved and live a christ-like life. Those who choose the path of the devil.......choose hell themselves. Read St. John 3:16 and it will tell you plainly. His works are all for a purpose as well. it is in the Bible too. Maybe you could find someone who knows the Bible and ask them these questions that you think are kind of gay; oh and by the way the Bible talks about that too......and guess what. WRONG AS WELL. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JUST LEARN THE MEANINGS OF HELL

Acts 2:27-35 Jesus resurrected from sepulchre hell, a cave, a tomb or grave. 31 times in the O.T.
Jude 6; 1Pet.3:18-20; 2Pet.2:4 Angels in tartarus prison hell, are content and can not sin as in Gen.6:2,4; but the resurrected Jesus goes to visit them and angels do not die Luke 20:34-36;
Hell fire is death and burial by fire or burial by fire Mark 9:42-48 the city dump in the day of Jesus and the practice od Rome concerning it. Matt.10:28 disciples not to worry.
2Chr.28:1-4; Jer.7:30.31; 19:2-5 is time people sacrificed there children in the place.VALLEY OF THE SON OF HINNOM IS OUTSIDE THE WALL OF JERUSALEM ON ANY BIBLE MAP

Because somehow, people going to hell also glorifies the Most High God. Romans 9 talks about a potter's right over clay to make vessels for honor and vessels for dishonor. We are the clay and God is the potter. Some of us will be made for honor, some will be made for dishonor and who are we as pots to say "Why did you make me like this?"

In short, everything God does is for one purpose: to bring as much glory to Himself, for He is worthy of it, this may mean even sending people to hell.

Now what or where did you read this, did you make it up,where is your proof in other words.

Beware of people preaching hell and damnation, this is not God's way. Jesus was sent to save all that would believe in him and live life the way he taught us to.

That is to love your neighbor and don't judge, read all about His works and teachings before you condem God and now even name calling, may God forgive you for calling him gay,something he abhors. If you don't know peace yet it is because you haven't come to know Jesus and his way, He is the way, the light and the truth.

Apparently - you know God and His daily workings. So, if God is letting you know His schedule could you lend us some insight into what He is doing this week?

Apparently with your grand knowledge - It would seem as if you are one of God's judges and you love to place judgement against all others. Congrats.

One of the quickest ways to tell who is a child on here and who isn't is the way the word "gay" is used.

Back away from your computer little kid, come back when you are old enough cut up your own meat.

He doesn't send people there, they choose it.

God is perfect in love and justice. Would you respect a judge who sits in the courtroom and lets criminals go free?? Would you?

God couldn't have made it easier --- believe, accept and repent in the name of Jesus Christ and our sins are COMPLETELY wiped away. This is love. This is free choice and free choice is love.
