According to your belief, a soul, after death either goes to eternal heaven or eternal hell, depending on the deeds it had done in its life time.
The souls going to eternal heaven is fine.
What about the souls that go to eternal hell? Do they have to suffer for ever there itself? Don't they have any more chances? Since its an eternal hell, I doubt the courtesy of your GOD. Then how do you'll claim that your god 'Loves All' or 'Saves All' ?
In our hinduism, the god we believe, gives infinite chances to a soul to repent and correct itself by giving rebirths to it. Once the soul is pure and perfect, it reaches the feet of god. The other souls keep coming back to earth.

Who created SATAN?
If satan and the fallen angels dont have the chance to repent, that obviously means that GOD is not couteous enough.

If god is suffering for our sake! then why create uneccesarily us? Leaving us to our free will is ok. But you still have'nt answered my question.
Why god isnt couteous enough to give another chance to the souls in Hell?

I still did'nt get a convincing answer to my question.
If god is not giving more than one chance to soul to repent, no point calling him father.
I am opposing to the theory and not the God. I believe there is only one god and that god is whom I worship, who is inifinitely courteous. Our theory is more logical and practical.
Thanks to all for giving your answers. Am putting the question for voting, cos I dont see any best answers.

GOD created all the angel's that are in heaven, Satan with his freewill misled other angel's and caused their fall from GOD'S good grace.
So you please tell me, why would GOD creat more angel's to replace the fallen ones, that HE so loved, just for them to also be misled?
We have two choices set before us, to favor GOD, or to follow Satan.
Satan and the fallen angel's were never given the option to repent and to RETURN to GOD who create them.
Edit:
GOD created Satan, and gave him free will. Satan chose to be the way he is and he misled the angel's and us. We were given free choice also. So choose wisely
GOD has held off HIS wrath towards sin for our sakes. He is long suffering for our sakes. Now to me that is more than courteous.
Edit: As long as we have life in our flesh, we have the option to turn from our sins and receive GOD'S forgiveness from our sins. GOD renews HIS grace daily. We have the opportunity daily to repent. Once we die and our soul leaves our body, our souls go to the one we chose to follow while we lived in the flesh.

Probably the reason you are confused is, where a soul goes does not depend on 'good deeds'. Salvation is a free gift. Jesus Christ went to the Cross to die for our sins - sins of all people. He was the perfect sacrifice.
When you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you are sealed with the Holy Spirit, as God's very own child. We all have a 'free will' - free to accept Jesus as our Savior, or free to decline. Many do not accept that Jesus is the Son of God and that He is the Messiah. They reject Him as Lord an Savior. It is these that reject God that will live out eternity separate from God (eternal hell). This is their choice, not God's. Until the end, God will offer His Grace to all peoples. But there will be a time that it is too late. Freedom of choice is a wonderful thing. God desires all to come to HIm willingly.

Your only grasping the answers you want. This is how it goes... You except Jesus as your personal Savior and you confess your sins.. You are then a keeper and when you die you go to his right hand. If you have never been saved but was thinking about it and the end days come its like wanting to buy a car.. You think about it then go the next day to get it and its gone its to late. The Devil and the Angels are always trying to buck God's will and that is why he and his Army can not get back to heaven.. The judgment day will come and all those who have earned a place will get it and all those who were on the fence will not.. The Devil and fallen angels were sinners and you want God to forgive everyone on the judgment day and that's not fair,, You have to earn it. Grant M in Pennsylvania

To me God is courteous in that he gives you a free will if you choose to kill pple as a favourite pasttime then i really dont see the justification of being given another body because that person will probably do the same again but he always gives forgiveness to any man no matter how griveous his sin and forgives as though uve never done a wrong if you repent in whatever point of your life God gives pple a chance to repent his ear is open his heart ready to forgive but his spirit cannot always strive with man if a man chooses a particular life until death what more can he do?

The Holy Bible says Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven. He came and died on a cross for all of us at calvery. Our sins seperate us from God, In the book of Hebrews chapter 9 it talks about without the sheding of blood there is no remission for sins. God requires a blood sacrifice for sins to be atoned for. Jesus came and shed his Perfect blood washing away our sins. All we have to do now is accept his perfect gift of salvation by being born again. This time Spiritually. Hebrews chapter 9:27, says it is appointed once for man to die and after this the judgement. Humans only get one earthly life. What seperates Christians from all other religions is the fact that being born again changes you on the inside. You don't think like the world thinks, you are set free from the burden of sin. You can ask for forgivesness and your sins are washed away. You start a fresh and anew everyday. You have a peace about you that cannot be explained, the Holy Spirit lives in your heart and guides you to all truth. It helps you understand the Bible, to the unsaved person the Bible is impossible to interepret. Life is Spiritual, a lot of the Bible is Spiritual. Jesus loves you and would love for you to make him the God of your life. If you would like to be saved, just pray this simple Prayer believing in Jesus, and he will come into your heart and cleanse you and lift the burden of sin off you, just say, Dear Jesus, I know and confess that I am sinner in need of salvation. I believe you died on a cross at calvery and arose from the grave to wash away my sins, I ask you right now to come into my heart and save me, I pray this Prayer believing in the name of Jesus Amen. If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart you are now a child of God, rejoice that your name is written in the Lambs book of Life. If you have any questions just send me an email, God Bless YOU!!
