While we're on the subject hell and satan. I've heard some of the disjointed christian shuffle on why god doesn't make any appearances anymore......but what about the devil. This is god's arch nemesis.....the biggest bad boy there is......he don't follow no rules.......how come's he never just pops up out of the ground, pisses hell fire on an orphanage, flips everyone off and then disappears.....how comes that never happens
Satan is restrained by God, if he wasn't he would have already destroyed this world, this is something you can find in scripture. Also Satan is not omnipresent, he can only be in one place at a time, he has no time to mess with those who reject God. He concentrates on things that will effect the many, in other words those who reject God are of no consideration to Satan, they are small fish in the pond. On the contrary God reaches out to everyone, all they have to do is accept His invitation.
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.
