There's no way to accurately calculate that. Suffice to say its the majority. "Few there be that find it."

We don't know how many will burn, only Our Father knows that. But today, the churches are reaching out to the world and teaching. Those who believe will be saved. Those who reject Jesus cannot be.

I think in a way you are right. At some level I sort of wish everybody was in Heaven some day, that somehow God would save them all and make them all right with him and each other. So that is "wishfull thinking" forgiveness, but when I have to forgive real people that I know personally, its a much bigger struggle. I can be a forgiving person but its not always easy. So God is better at real forgiveness than I am.Key said:

I think a lot of people are going to Hell. The gate is narrow, and everyone who calls Lord Lord won't be saved. What people call themselves is irrelevant.

That's true Bizzle. And, there is also one unforgiveable sin. If we blaspheme the Holy Spirit. That will not be forgiven Seeker.

I think the unforgivable sin is more like an attitude. I could be wrong, but it really takes a lot of thought and will to truely commit this sin over time.

the real question is, how many people do you know personally that you have not shared the gospel with that will be looking up at you from hell asking why you never told them about Jesus.

Everyone knows about God. That is one thing we cannot change. How much they know, maybe, but everyone still knows. It was still a choice they made.nb_christseeker said:

If they end up in hell it wasn't because someone didn't share the Gospel with them. No one ends up in hell that wouldn't have ended up there if they had just encountered someone who shared the Gospel with them. People who go to hell would have rejected the message of the Gospel, regardless of whether they heard it. Going to hell isn't ever the unlucky result of not hearing the Gospel. It's the product of never being given life through the vicarious death of the Lord and our subsequent regeneration from death in our trespasses and sins to life in the Lord Jesus.
God bless

Agreed. Romans 8:Reformationist said:
29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
It all works out

Because Jesus said so! I just quoted a scripture, take from it what you want. Nevertheless, it still exists in the Bible.butxifxnot said:

According to my own understanding of God, no one will burn in hell. My base is that:seeker4Christ said:
a) Hell is more a Christian tradition than a defined "state" or "place"
b) I don't believe in a God who relishes in torture
c) I believe that all humankind will find peace in afterlife.
So there: 0% of 4 billion ppl!
