Do Men Go To Hell By Their Own Free Choice?

We have been given limited free will and this ingredient in our lives, largely makes up the individuality of each person. Some are given larger portions of free will than others. For instance, some are born with or aquire great wealth, which gives them more options than some who are stricken with poverty and physical and mental handicaps. Nevertheless, as I mentioned, all free will is limited by God’s withholding of power or ability to accomplish all our will. In spite of the fact that we do have free will, it can be demonstrated from Scripture that our will is not given the latitude to decide our salvation. God takes full responsibility for that. This becomes significant when we ponder the possibility of any created being getting placed into eternal damnation with all its horrors. Consider the following verses, how they give to God the responsibility and glory for any ones salvation.

Mt 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

Mt 19:25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? 26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Joh 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you,

2Th 2:13 ¶ But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

Joh 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Php 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Joh 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

Jer 32:17 Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:

It is clear "who" does the saving. It is clear, we can’t even take credit for making the right choice. (Joh 15:16 Ye have not chosen me ).

Eph 2:4 ¶ But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

SWITCHING GEARS


“If God saved you, start to finish, if He who began a good work in you will finish it, what will stop Him from saving the rest of the world?” Where does it say, once you die, there is no more chance? Not in Romans: “Ro 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life….shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ps 29:2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
Even now some reading this, can not see that God could be this great, this good. This too, is God’s doing.
That is precisely why God will fit each time of purging exactly to the need of each of His created ones. (What would you think of the father of a blind child punishing that child for not seeing?)

What did Jesus mean?: Mt 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Is God worse than a publican? Did you catch that? The references to this action of loving our enemies making us like the Father? Perfect? Will God who never changes lose His perfect love? NEVER! If somehow allowing the masses to be tormented without end equates to love, then light equates to darkness and truth equates to lies. We have no basis for understanding anything. THIS JUST ISN”T TRUE. God is LOVE. PERIOD.
God Himself takes responsibility for every mans destiny, and He clearly teaches that He will save all. Why do some insist that He won’t or can’t? He can, and He will!

Lu 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
