Men pick out to turn down God, only they don't ship themselves to hell. God sends them.
Sometimes nosotros downplay aspects of God's character, thinking we're making Him audio better!
For example: “God doesn’t ship anyone to hell. People pick out hell for themselves.”
That's similar proverb parents don't punish naughty children. Naughty children punish themselves.
If I'm afraid to nation that God sends men to hell, am I suggesting that a skillful God wouldn't create such a thing? I know that's non truthful because my perfect, loving God proclaims He volition create it.
If a human being rejects God, hell is the consequence, only God is the One who volition throw him into it (Revelation 20:15). So if God is non ashamed to nation He volition ship men to hell, neither should I be. I can't brand God to a greater extent than pop yesteryear ignoring His wrath.
I was spared from God's wrath yesteryear believing Him, in addition to thence I'm going to believe everything He says, whether most sky or hell, rewards or punishments. He knows best how to explicate Himself.
(See Matthew 10:28; Luke 12:5; Hebrews 10:26-31; 2 Peter 2:4-10).
