How Can a Loving God Send People to Hell?
God’s love is eternal, and he is faithful and just to forgive (1 John 1:9). In fact, God is love (1 John 4:8). Yet, the Bible talks about hell and eternal damnation. How do we make sense of this paradox? Critics of Christianity conclude that the God of the Bible is not really loving if hell exists; how can a loving God condemn some people, his own creation, to eternal suffering?
