NOONE can come to the Father EXCEPT thru Jesus.. God does not beckon just certain people. For God so loved the WORLD...one can not be saved w/out the beckoning of the Holy Spirit... IF one become a Christian and wound up in hell,wouldnt that make God a liar? And the word states God is not man that HE should lie! GOD IS TRUTH!

If God beckons people then I would say that the person who became Christian, was beckoned.

God does not beckon certain people. It is not his choice that any one spend eternity in Hell . Hell was created for Satan and his angles.

I believe that we are all intended to get into heaven eventually. I believe this makes sense as why would god/allah create someone who he knows would suffer in hell eternally. This would be neither loving nor compassionate. I believe that some will take a detour though hell on their way to heaven where their sinfulness will be cleansed. It makes sense to me that before getting to heaven man has to suffer. Those who do no suffer on earth will will suffer in the afterlife. In the Qu'ran it says that even those with the smallest grain of faith in their hearts will get to heaven. Also, it mentions the last person being brought out of hell will be so grateful that the lowest level of heaven will be greatly welcomed.

Hell was created only for Lucifer and the fallen angels that chose to follow him, not for people! Unfortunately, people have chosen to disregard God's plans for us and as a result of that we are told in Isaiah 5 :14, "therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure..." Read the context around the verse to see what kind of things they were doing even back then that would send people to hell (and still do). Then read the book of Acts to find out what you need to do to avoid going there with them!

For God so loved the "WORLD" that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall not parish but have ever lasting life. John 3:16
So there are three votes. God is voting for you. The Devil is voting against you and you have the deciding vote.

No one is intended to go to hell. God's intention is for everyone to accept His free gift.
God bless.

Our FATHER wants everyone to be in Heaven. HE sent HIS SON who was born of a virgin, was tempted by satan, was betrayed by HIS Disciple, was brutally beaten and murdered on the Roman Cross, arose from the grave, spent 40 days walking among men, and arose into heaven in full view of others. He has given us the opportunity to be there. It is our choice whether we want to be obedient or not. HIS New Testament scriptures are written as our guide. Are YOU ready??
To become a real Christian, we are told that we must HEAR the WORD in John 6:45, Jesus said, “It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught by God. Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.” We are also told so in Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. We are told the we must BELIEVE in Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. We are also told so in Mark 16:16, Jesus said “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.” and in John 5:24 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. We are told that we must REPENT (or turn from sin) in Luke 13:3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Also in Acts 17:30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent. We are told to CONFESS CHRIST in Romans 10:9-10 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. We are also told in 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. We are to be BAPTIZED according to Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” and Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. We are to CONTINUE to be FAITHFUL UNTIL DEATH according to Revelation 2:10c Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. We also know that Paul wrote in Romans 14:12 each of us shall give account of himself to God. It is important that we not ignore what is written, change what is written, or add to what is written in the New Testament which is our Christian Guide. Have a great day!
