A popular question: Why does God send good people to hell? I'm not saying by any means that my answer's correct, but I sure believe it's a better revelation than blaming God for things he's not responsible for. Check this out.
The Bible says we were created in God's image, and God is love. The opposite of love is not hate. The opposite of love is selfishness. How do I know that? Because love lays itself down for one another. Selfishness lives for its own.
People are really quick to throw the free will card out there whenever you stand up for righteousness. And they say, "Well, we have free will. It's our decision." You're right. Ever since Adam and Eve sinned in the garden, man fell, and that's why God had to send Jesus to redeem us in the New Testament. The ultimate sacrifice, the one atonement for us.
Funny, you don't have to teach a toddler how to throw a temper tantrum. We were born into a sinful nature. See, it's all about us ever since we were born. So, is God sending people to hell, or are we already destined for it?
Look at it this way. Think if you were on a boat that was sinking, and they throw a life raft out and say, "Hey, you're about to go down on this ship, but here's a way out." Here's one. You're on a helicopter, and they scream, "Mayday, mayday!" and your helicopter is about to crash, but the pilot gives you a parachute and says, "It's up to you to take the leap of faith and jump with the parachute to be safe."
A lot of people going to hell because they choose that route, and they don't want to believe in the one true savior. God ain't making nobody do anything. You do have free will to live however you want to live. So God doesn't send people to hell. Love lets people choose on its own. Love is not controlling. Love lays itself down for one another. So to give you the option to choose him or not is up to you. So God's not responsible. You are.
If God was so good, why would he do this? Well, if God wasn't so good, why would he send his son for you then? Some people are going to say, "Well, God's control and making you live for him so you can go to heaven." No. The only thing Jesus is asking you to give up is nothing you were ever created for in the first place.
I just gave you facts based off scripture, and a lot of people ain't gonna agree with that, but that's okay because a lot of people don't believe in the word of God either, and they don't want to agree with it because it changes the way they have to live.
