How can a God of love…

 

…throw people into hell? 

 
That’s one of the favorite questions some people use to express their struggle to understand or believe in God.

I think there’s a smarter question, though.

    • Since God has said that He has no pleasure or intention whatsoever that anybody should end up in that place; and 
    • Only those who don’t want a relationship with Him are heading in that direction

Then:

Why should God not let you spend eternity the same way you decided to spend your lifetime — far from Him?

Said differently: Should He force you to live with Him forever if in this short life you chose not to?
