God is a very a loving God and because of this some people might think "ow if God is so loving he would never let people go to hell, hell doesnt exist because our God is loving and he would never put people there." BUT MANY FORGET THAT ALTHOUGH GOD IS LOVING HE IS AND HAS TO BE A FAIR GOD ASWELL." and thats why although he love us so much and although he can save us all from hell he still let sinful people who dont repent go to hell because if he let sinful people into heaven it wouldn't be fair for those who have followed Gods word and repented . He died on the cross for your sins,and even though u will never be free from sin in this world,u still can inherit the kingdom of God if u believe in the son jesus christ that he had died for your sins on the cross BUT we should never take his patience and mercy for granted,there is no point from repenting and still doing sin without trying to stop! God will see your EFFORT and how much you want to stop and turn away from your wicked ways. REMEMBER although he is a loving God he is also a Fair and Just God, and so if he sees no effort in us trying to turn away from wicked things then your repentance will be for nothing. So my point is, even if you sin a million times God will still forgive you as long as you try your best not too or if you accidently do it, as long as its not a willful sin that you are conscious about doing and could stop yourself from doing it but you choose not too , like for example murdering ,stealing somthing from somone,rape etc. you have to remember that he sees your effort in avoiding sin, his love is greater than our minds could ever imagine and thats why he can forgive us over and over again God bless you all and may he open your eyes to see the truth:)

If GOD had made man without a choice to be obedient or disobedient,then how could they have a free will to make a choice.

I mean,how would you know If they are doing something because they sincerly want to please you or If they are doing It because they are afraid of what you will do to them If they don't do what you want.

i submit there's a very large distinction to be made between 'fair' and God's justice.

fairness implies equity, in my mind. that God is equitable with all, and clearly, this is not the case.

consider the parable of the vineyard owner in Matt 20:1-16.
that's the first example of God's justice not seeming 'fair' that comes to mind. :)
