HOW COULD A GOOD GOD SENTENCE PEOPLE TO ETERNAL DAMNATION

My name is Alan Finch. I became a Christian in April of 1976. I would like to share my thoughts on "HOW COULD A GOOD GOD SENTENCE PEOPLE TO ETERNAL DAMNATION?”

For some reason John 6:44 has been GREATLY overlooked by the Church today. In this verse, JESUS clearly states that nobody can come to Him unless God draws that person to JESUS. You and I only came to JESUS because the Spirit of God drew us to JESUS.

There are billions of people who never had the Spirit of God draw them to JESUS. Since that is the case, why would a loving God sentence billions of people to eternal torment who never had the Spirit of God draw them to JESUS? The answer then becomes clear that the Scriptures are not being properly understood by the vast majority of people.

God has His own plan for each individual that He has created. In the future, in His promise of RESTORATION, God's Spirit is going to do such a GREAT and MIGHTY work in each individual that just as God has promised in Isaiah 45:23, Romans 14:11, Philippians 2:10&11, that at the name of JESUS ALL will bow the knee and every tongue confess that JESUS CHRIST is LORD. There is no place in these verses that states that people are going to be forced to bow their knee before JESUS. Being forced to bow the knee before JESUS brings no Glory to God. The Scriptures are very clear that God only accepts a willing heart. So, ALL people are going to bow the knee before JESUS from a WILLING HEART, not from being forced.

Isaiah 45:23 states that every tongue shall swear before JESUS. The word "SWEAR" in this Passage of Scripture means to take an oath that JESUS is their Lord. In greater detail, it means to "PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO." People who know that eternal damnation awaits them are certainly not going to be pledging allegiance to JESUS. Rather, they will be cursing JESUS.

JESUS often used metaphors in His teachings which is often been overlooked today by the Church. Once we begin to gain a better understanding of the metaphors used by JESUS then (PRAISE GOD) the Scriptures begin to come alive with clearer meaning. The problem that we have today in the Church is that much of the teaching is coming from a scholarly type of teaching, rather than from Holy Spirit revelation insight of the Scriptures. JESUS said that His Church is to be built upon Revelation.

I spent several years in putting together a 32 page document "WHAT IS THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST?" I put forth a pain stacking effort in trying to leave no stone upturned in Biblical expounding upon the Biblical truths that I share in my document It will be published here.
