Hell isn't for evildoers, it's for unbelievers.
You can commit as much evil as you like and still get into heaven.

But why would I want to?
I hear it's terminally boring up there! And worst of all: no sex! I can't imagine playing with even the biggest toy train set in the universe will ever make up for that!

Prove your statement from the scriptures, there is no other place to find the answer for this.

Kinda shoots down the whole idea of omnipotence then, huh?

What does omnipotence have to do with what I said?

Thanks for clearing that up, Godschild.

Think whatever you like, I want discuss points with a senseless person.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

The new guy has a winning personality and a piercing wit. Somehow I'm just not ready to commit to him yet. Sounds like someone who is carrying a lot of rage about having been made to go to Sunday school.

So now you're saying a person can't repent of their crimes and seek forgiveness from jesus.

Make up your mind please.

What does omnipotence have to do with what I said?

Nothing directly, just making an observation. Am I only allowed to bring up a weakness of god when you've explicitly opened the door for it?

The thing is that Christians will see Satan as not the punisher of evildoers in Hell, but he is the bad guy who is constantly trying to get God's children to turn against him so that he will have plenty of company in Hell after the end of the world when he is forced to spend eternity there. The point where this falls apart is thinking that somehow Satan turns people away from God, and so makes God punish people for eternity even though he really doesn't want to because he loves them. So I don't know if this makes Satan more powerful than God because for some reason God can't change the system he set up where he sends unbelievers and evildoers to Hell to be tortured for eternity.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
