s blood to every account and allow all men into heaven, whether they were saved or not, would you be upset with God for it or rejoice in the fact that no one goes to hell other than Satan and his demons?

I basically asked this question to show the unbelievers that Christians DO wish that they would be in heaven with us. Christians are accused of being haters, and condemning everyone to hell who doesn't follow the teachings of Christ, but if you will look at these responses, you will see that most Christians wish only good for everyone. I must say that there were 3 answerers that did not have good responses, but overall, Christians don't hate unbelievers.

I would be happy that God showed His love and mercy to everyone - including those that hate Him while on earth.
Why would I be angry? I often pray that God will lead all Souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of His Mercy.

No I really want all those non-Christians out there to go to hell. Seriously anyone who wouldn't rejoice that everyone is going to heaven didn't truly have the love of Jesus in the first place and are one of those lucky ones. However they won't have any treasure stored up in heaven. So there is a benefit to accepting Christ now. Although it is a mute point because that would pretty much means the Bible is null and void and God is a liar which he is not.

First, God did not create hell and will destroy it. He created the lake of fire and sulphur. Second, if God did choose not to condemn everyone who rejected Jesus Christ to an eternity of suffering, I would be happy. The idea that people suffer so terribly for all eternity is very painful, but I am not naive enough to believe they should be allowed entrance to the New Jerusalem. I do sometimes wonder about whether the lake of fire and sulphur does exist. There are clear verses pointing to it but then there are verses pointing to unclean spirits wondering the earth outside the New Jerusalem. It is one of the topics I want to research still. If someone somewhere in church history lied about this eternal punishment, it would, in my opinion, be one of the greatest sins ever committed.
Also, I am not keen on satan and his demons being punished eternally. They are extremely evil and if they have to be punished by fire for centuries, I think I would be comfortable with that. Still, the idea of eternal suffering is really terrible. God never wanted anyone, including satan and his demons, to suffer like that :-(.

The PC crowd pushes that hard and many follow anything the 100% tolerant (except conservative christians) teach.
God didn't change 45 years ago (the anything goes hippie teachings).Israel tried to do what was right in there own eyes for thousands of years.God didn't go along with them or modern "anything goers".If a person thinks they can tell the creator of all things to believe anything they want Him to believe He won't (unless it follows His word).God doesn't give a free ride.

That is called "universalism" and is not taught in the Scriptures, Also, I don't get into those "what if's" and all that, that is wasted thinking.
Universalism is the teaching that through the atonement of Jesus, every person who ever lived will ultimately be saved. It is a relatively small movement in America. But this error can have some serious ramifications. Does the Bible teach that everyone who has ever lived will be saved? No. It doesn't. Find out why here.

I would rejoice!!!!
There are many that I have known that I will never see again.....I wish somehow,someway,that it were possible
We as Christians would not want anyone to enter eternity without God and have to suffer the consequences.

If one truly loves as Christ does...they would rejoice...if they do not love as Christ does, they are probably the ones not destined for heaven in the first place, but now are receiving God's grace...therefore, would be happy to have made it into heaven.

I think everyone should go to heaven, except Satan and his demons. God is a forgiving God. How could he not love us and forgive us. He gave us the free will anyway. He knew that was going to get us in trouble, or he wouldn't sent his son Jesus.

That's up to God. I guess I'd be happy to see loved ones who haven't believed in heaven. I now think I'd be horrified to see Hitler in heaven -- it sounds like blasphemy to me to even say it -- but if God were going to let him in, God would have to change him.
There are people that believe people have a chance to change after death, but it's not clear to me that this is possible, so I'm not endorsing this idea, just answering it hypothetically.
