Death would happen in God's presence, even if He liked you (but you weren't properly prepared)! See Exo. 33:18-23After all in the Old Testament it was okay to kill those who didn't believe (or kill everyone in a town if one person didn't believe).

Simple question: "What sends a person to hell...?"

God Bless!
Well God could easily stop anyone from perishing if he wanted to since he controls everything.
Seems like a "might makes right" mentality. And if it's right according to God, why is it wrong in any other context then? After all in the Old Testament it was okay to kill those who didn't believe (or kill everyone in a town if one person didn't believe).

I don’t know what sends people to hell because I don’t know their hearts as God does. I do know far too many people are quick to put you there if you don’t see things exactly the way they do. Somehow, I think the Lord works that all out with each person, and the “whys and whats” can be added to the list of the many things we will never know or understand.
I believe that the only thing people need to be saved from is the belief that there is a hell from which to be saved. Speaking from personal experience, believing in the likelihood of eternal punishment is hell in and of itself.Simple question: "What sends a person to hell...?"

There is no need to know a man's heart to know that all men's hearts a wicked.
What you are implying is some men reject God, His word, His law, and yet deep, deep down in their heart, God will find good in them.
May I suggest that Christ could have saved Himself a a lot of anguish if that were the case.
All men stand condemned. God, thankfully, has mercy on some.
John 3:18
[18] Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. (ESV)
No Sir, I'm not implying anything other than I don't really know what other men truly believe in their hearts... only God knows that.
Yes, I trust the Lord and His Word completely; it’s your (and my) understanding that I do not lean on.Do you trust what the Bible says on the matter?

no 'what' - 'who' and the answer is - THEMSELVES. People send themselves to hell, since they reject the FREE redemption offered to them.Simple question: "What sends a person to hell...?"
