Would a god that did give you a chance be more loving than one that didn't?

I'm going to use an analagy. Can a convicted murderer get out of prison once he's already there? The answer is probably not. But that is mans justice. God's justice is perfect and therefore has a much higher standard than mans justice. God give each of us a predetermined amount of time to live and during that time he gives us we are to repent. Some people are given 80 years and others are only given 20 years to live. Either way it's more than enough time to repent. So when we die and haven't repented and trusted in Christ to save us...God is perfectly just in sending sinners to hell. He gives us ample chances while we're alive. Hebrews 9:27 and Revelation 21:8 make it perfectly clear.
And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment. Hebrews 9:27
But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8
"The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!" Mark 1:15

i change into presented up contained in the Baptist faith. I went to church each and every of the time with my grandmother. yet, i realized that they were no longer practise the actuality. that they had no solutions from the bible when I requested questions. I left and went to many diverse church homes until eventually i ultimately found the actuality in Jehovahs Witnesses. I actually have cousins who were presented up in Mecca. Their father is Arabian. they do no longer shop on with their fathers faith. they have effective households and are good human beings. each and everyone bypass to hell. Hell is merely the straightforward grave of mankind. if you're a good human being on your heart, God will resurrect you on the merely precise day. The wages sin will pay is lack of existence. once you die, lack of existence is your fee for sin. no longer eternal torment. If that were authentic, God ought to have advised Adam and Eve up the front that they would not merely die yet bypass to a firey hell.

You have choices to make and chances to avoid Hell ALL YOUR LIFE once you've reached an age of accountability and are able to understand the fact that you're born to sin and need salvation. There's no more turning back once you've faced judgment after a LIFETIME of opportunity!

You have a thousand opportunities to know Him every day!
So given a year means that three hundred and fifty thousand times you have had the opportunity to give your faith to God. If one is twenty years old then it is safe to say that this one has had in excess of a million opportunities to establish a relationship with God.
That begs the question......Just how many more do you need?

he does give you a lifetime to be saved, he is constantly talking to you and if you don't listen like a serial killer who continues to ignore God up to his last breath and goes to hell, then that was your fault for ignoring him. The only people who don't get a chance are the demons, jesu did not die for them, if they ask for forgiveness, there is none for them. they sin, too bad, they go to the lake of fire, us, well god speaks to us and keeps calling us into his presence until the day we die and we chose to listen to his still small voice or go to hell. So you are wrong,. we get a chance, a million, trillion chances to embrace God, the DEMONS GET NONE!!!

because God has already given many, many,many chances.
when you make your decision about accepting God's Gift of eternal salvation, to take it or reject it, it has eternal consequences.
it is not a computer game where, if you die, you can "reload" and try it again.....
why do you think God asks His believers to spread the Good news of Jesus Christ....
so that people do have at least one and more often multiple chances.

There is only one thing God is interested in and that is watching over his word to perform it.
You ,me or anybody else has a time on this earth to see ourselves,once we leave this world it's pay day,some into everlasting life and some into everlasting darkness.

He is already given you all the chances in the world to not even go there...I do not think it would be fair to let you live your life on earth like a hethen and then go to Hell....and say I believe!!
You either believe while you are alive on earth or it is too late!!

God is justice. Humans are given all of their lives to prove that they don't deserve to spend the rest of eternity in hell.
