"the wisest and pithiest statement on the universalist issue is C. S. Lewis's profound statement: "The gates of Hell are locked from the inside." Do you actually share the morally monstrous belief that all those who have NOT repented and accepted Christ as their Savior and Lord will suffer conscious torture for all eternity? If so, you share responsibility for the widespread rejection of the Gospel by morally sensitive people worldwide. btw. great harm is being done to the cause of Christ by the common perception that evangelicals support a president who thinks nothing of constantly lying and of desecrating his marriage by having sexual trysts with inappropriate content queens and playboy models. So please respond to these 5 questions:
(1) If, as the Bible often stresses, God is omnipotent and wants to save everyone, why can't God provide fresh postmortem opportunities and environments that empower lost souls to ultimately make redemptive choices. Put differently, if God is pure unconditional love, what does it mean to claim that God loves eternally tormented lost souls?
(2) How can most people, with their limited intellect, wisdom, environments, and opportunities. make any poor choices that merit eternal conscious torture in Hell? Put differently, how can our weak, error- prone natures make any choices in our brief lives heinous enough to be eternally deprived of any chance to learn from their poor choices and pursue righteousness?
(3) How can the vast majority of humanity, who have never even heard the Gospel, be eternally damned because they have not accepted Christ as their Savior?
(4) How can the majority of people who have heard the Gospel be justly eternally damned because they honestly find its exclusivism morally reprehensible and utterly unconvincing?
(5) How can those raised in an ungodly environment with anti-Christian families and friends be eternally damned for their lack of any incentive to take biblical claims seriously? Do you honestly believe God would condemn those in our culture who have never been convicted by the Holy Spirit that the Gospel is true?"
