I picture god and the devil playing a game together using us as the pawns. The bible just leaves that impression on me.... They supposedly converse with each other...

God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hell wasn't made for people; it was made for the devil and his angels. It is only when you live like the devil (who happens to be the father of all liars) that that place becomes your final destination.
"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
The only way to be sure you won't have to take your part there, is to realize that you already fit the above and have a spot reserved for you, and that the only hope for you is to ask God's forgiveness - which he promises to extend based on the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ paid your penalty already. Believing this will wipe your account clean and assure a home in heaven. God doesn't lie.

God gave us free will. He definitely wouldn't be happy knowing someone is going to hell because of that person's actions and bad decisions. God give us all the opportunities to change and to do what is right so we could be with him someday. I think God would wait as long as it takes to save someone from going to hell and not the other way around.

God is not the one that sends people to hell. It is our own choices that get us there. The Devil tries everything within his power to mislead us down a bad path and unfortunately many follow him. God does know everything but he cannot and will not go against our free will as he promised not to in the Bible. God sees everything and makes plans for every possible outcome of our choices so he DOES NOT control our actions but adjusts his plans according to our free will. God is a being of love, light, and all good things and cannot condemn us to hell. We do that ourselves

I don't believe God wants to send people to Hell. Hell was intended for Satan and the fallen angels, but because we humans sin, we are destined for eternal punishment. He gives us a way out though, Jesus. God is omniscient, but he loves us anyway. I don't understand everything about God, and I don't understand why he lets people be the way they are, but I have faith in Him, and I know he has a purpose for everything and everyone. You can have faith in Him too. Just take a look at the Bible, it's more interesting and factual than you probably think!

Man is given the ability of "free will"...therefore since we have the option of "choosing" how we live...I still feel that God wants us all up there with Him....I do not believe he wishes eternal damnation on anyone...I believe He does not "think" the same way we understand the word...so we cannot know, and aren't supposed to know..His plans for anyone or anything...
Good point however...may make some people "think" today...and I know in our society today, there are quite a few people who I think deserve to be first on the bus to hell....IMHO...

He is way ahead of you..."For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE" does that sound like a God that wants to send everyone to hell??

God does not want ANYONE to perish but everyone to know to Him. However because we have free will some will chose to continue to their sin, in this life, and not give their life to Christ- those people will be sent to hell- because they chose themselves over God. God is a just God, and there has to be payment for sin- but because of His love and mercy He sent His son into the world to die on the cross to pay the price we could never pay. He weeps over those who do not know Him- we have the choice, we pay for our sins by eternal separation from God, , or allow the blood of Christ to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness.

Absolutely not! He has provided the WAY for everyone to receive His gift of eternal life--I believe that means to spend eternity with Him.
Yes, He is all-knowing, but He has given us our free will to choose. God sends no one to hell or heaven. Each individual is free to make that choice for him/herself.

God is a director and writer also the biggest Judge, we are just the actors, so if you will perfume good in your acting as He direct you to do, i think he is very Honest and True Judge, will give you award for sure.
