No one will go to hell simply because all they needed was a little more time and they died prematurely.

Religion is now viewed by many as a placebo or emotional crutch precisely because that is how we often pitch the gospel to unbelievers

The proper thing to do is to admit that hell is real and to allow our feelings of discomfort to motivate us to action.

If you were to force people to do something against their free choice, you would be dehumanizing them. The option of forcing everyone to go to heaven is immoral, because it's dehumanizing; it strips them of the dignity of making their own decision; it denies them their freedom of choice; and it treats them as a means to an end. When God allows people to say 'no' to him, he actually respects and dignifies them.

No one will go to hell simply because all they needed was a little more time and they died prematurely.

Love God with all your mind.

Real life does not come naturally. It is counterintuitive. It is a skill we have to learn. That's because the way to real life is not something we get, but something we give.
