A friendly Christian sent me a message

Think about this for a moment, in Christian theology a person can repent and accept Jesus at anytime in their life. Even just before they die. And they can get into heaven.
And there have been numerous conversions by mass murders just before they hanged.

Now here is the interesting part to ponder...... A person could be a complete bastard their entire life, murdering raping, robbing etc,etc. and right at the last moment they can accept Jc and whammo, straight into heaven.

Yet someone can live a good, virtuous life and yet go to hell for not accepting your god.

Think on that.....take all the time you need.

A couple quotes I read:
Jonathan L. Kvanvig: [C.S.] Lewis believes that the doors of hell are locked from the inside rather than from the outside. Thus, according to Lewis, if escape from hell never happens, it is not because God is not willing that it should happen. Instead, residence in hell is eternal because that is just what persons in hell have chosen for themselves.

Dave Hunt: We may rest assured that no one will suffer in hell who could by any means have been won to Christ in this life. God leaves no stone unturned to rescue all who would respond to the convicting and wooing of the Holy Spirit.

These seem to make sense.

First off, these are merely opinions expressed by people with no real knowledge of what hell is. And they are not supported by scripture.

Secondly, if you believe what they are saying is true, why would you then fear hell if you can just leave?

Thirdly, you totally failed to address the actual point of my post. Which is that god does not care how much of a evil murdering despicable arsehole you are as long as you worship him.

That's certainly true of almost all of the major characters in the Bible, starting with Cain and ending with Paul. The only decent person in the Bible is Job.

Countless people suffer disasters every second. Imaginary deities and demons have nothing to do with them. The Job story is interesting because he didn't let depression ruin his life.
