When judgement day comes and merciful God casts unsaved people like Ghandi, Bill Gates, Albert Einstein and others into the burning pits of hell for eternity, will Christians rejoice in the triumph over evil?

FYI I have nothing against Mr. Gates, Mr. Ghandi, or Mr. Einstein. I respect them greatly as most people do. I mentioned them because of the fact that they are good people with non-Christian beliefs.

There is absolute ignorance in this statement. Considering some of my family doesn't know Christ as their Savior, I could never rejoice if they never accepted Christ and died and went to hell. It says in revelation that God will wipe all tears away from our eyes. I have a feeling one of the reasons we will be crying is that we know people that we will never see again.
It is something that tears at me, and it is so heart wrenching because I can't make the choice for them. I wouldn't want anyone to go to hell, sadly not everyone feels the same way. Unlike your supposition, Christians are called to love everyone, not just those in the body of Christ.

You just make the entire community of Christianity seem like all brainwashed idiots to the 9th degree. And you don't even know them. How lovely. Also how not every Christian believes in the same thing. How about that? Thanks for trying to make people(People that are Christians) look like idiots when most of them aren't. You type like they can't function in the world and don't have lives outside of Bibles and churches. No man no....I don't think firstly that those people will be cast into to hell and you have no f-ing say into who goes to hell as I have none either. You are a close minded man or even boy that thinks all Christians are like that. Its absolutely BS. Also why in the world do people think Bill Gates is evil??

There is no eternal hellfire and God would never do such a thing (Jeremiah 7:31). Of course, Christians will be happy when all wickedness is gone from the earth and only lovers of God and Christ remain here but anyone who would wish eternal torment on anyone else is not Christian.

No, we do not delight in the punishment of the wicked that is why we admonish all men to come to Christ. We do not celebrate, we do not take joy over those cast into the pits of hell. Any Christian that does, needs to check their spirit, lest they find themselves precariously close to the pit themselves warming their hands in the fires of the wicked.

Absolutely Not! There will be no rejoicing over lost souls, that is why it is our duty to do our best to prevent such things from happening. How do you know these people are in Hell, do you know their hearts? Do you know anything?

No, we will feel sadness for those souls. No true christian would be happy to someone burn in hell. Expect for maybe Hilter and horrible killers.

Scripture says that God will wipe away our tears. Maybe that's the time. Then we'll see people we could have reached but didn't.

I will not celebrate that. I will feel sad that they did not come to learn the truth about God.

No, we want all to rejoice in heaven, as does G-d. Thats why He made it SO easy to get there. Stubborness astounds me.

God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked.
One who loves God....will have the mind of God.
