Why? Because God has a Plan, and He will not alter it because of anyone's puny human will.
So for the sins of a momentary lifetime (days, years or decades) relative to eternity, the just punishment is an eternity of punishment? That makes no sense.
Why should God's love expire after a very brief time like a carton of milk, and be over ruled by the injustice you call justice? "Mercy triumphs over judgement" (Js.2:13b).
If endless conscious torments were true, is God a monster?
Heb.10:28 A man that hath set at nought Moses' law dieth without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses: 29 of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
Stoning to death is not a very sore or long lasting punishment. People suffered far worse deaths via the torture methods of the eternal hell believing Medieval Inquisitionists and the German Nazis under Hitler.
Therefore, if the writer of Hebrews believed that wicked, rebellious, Christ rejectors would be punished with something so monstrous as being endlessly annihilated or tormented, he would not have chosen to compare their punishment to something so lame as being stoned to death.
Clearly he did not believe Love Omnipotent is an unfeeling terminator machine or sadist who abandons forever the beings He created in His own image & likeness so easily.
Who ever suggested or stated that?
So how are aborted babies going to get into heaven with a sin nature & without fulfilling the requirement of being born again (John 3)?
Will teens who died & never heard the gospel be sent to endless tortures by Love Omnipotent?

Hades is a real place and people/souls are tormented there in different ways. Everything in hades is alive and anything can attack you
May God Bless You
Why would He need to "force" (whatever that is supposed to mean)?
Love Omnipotent has all eternity to wait lovingly till all willingly respond positively to His love.
Major: I am shocked you have not presented the final outcome (according to the Apostle Peter) of all this nasty scene of devastation.
The risen Christ preaches to the dead
“Christ also has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: by which also he went and preached to the spirits in prison; which once were disobedient, when once the long suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was in preparation, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water… for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.”
"Who shall render an account unto him who is holding in readiness to judge living and dead; for, unto this end, even unto the dead, was the glad-message delivered,—in order that they might be judged, indeed, according to men in flesh, but might live according to God in spirit."

How does mentally challenged get to heaven?
Do you actually think that a loving God as you have described would allow an aborted baby to go to hell???
Condemned...yes, by those wanting to gaslight other Christians.
Defeated...hardly, as a few posters on this sub-forum ably demonstrate 24/7/365.
Heretical...no, as it was an orthodox view for centuries.
Wicked...what is wicked about the salvation of all?
Damnable...we're going to Hell for proving there is no such place?
You have STLL not answered the question????
3rd time......Were the people on earth standing in front of the Ark begging to get in in TORMENT?????
It just is not that hard of a question to answer.
It can only be Yes or NO.
I don't think that people who believe in universalism really understand how evil some people in the world are and can be.
It's mind blowing to me that some of you guys really think that satan worshippers who knowingly and willingly blaspheme The Holy Spirit of God, who knowingly and willingly reject Him their entire lives are going to one day be saved.

Universalism is theology based off of Fantasy and Emotionalism

Through being born again (John 3:1-8)
If the baby was brought to mental maturity, heard the gospel & trampled on Christ's grace, sure. But not to your sadistic endless tortures chamber as "hell".
Are you a 4 or 5 point Calvinist? You repeatedly post a link to one of their sites.
If endless conscious torments were true, is God a monster?
Some people are just evil. They will never repent. They willingly choose that path.

XYZ said:God.. will not make you endure eternity in heaven with Him if you don't want to....
Because He loves you.. .He grants your wishes.
I've tried asking for straight forward direct yes or no answers and all I get is copy and pasted walls of text and more evasion.
