When people say “how can a loving God send people to Hell”, it usually dumbfounds the hearer. They struggle to come up with an answer. I don’t have the deep easily understandable answer, but I do have an insight. When people choose to worship idols (anything other than God Himself), they pollute themselves. Hell is the consequence of a choice. God gives us the choice to either follow Him, or reject Him. He provides a rescue for that consequence. He sacrifices Himself on our behalf. He provides a way out of this doomed destination. But somehow, in someway, we listen to Satan’s ploy to sabotage God’s desire to rescue everyone from themselves. We end up serving ourselves and denying God. Either way, human beings will worship something. Hell is the consequence of not choosing God while following something else. And pollution in one’s life is the direct consequence of choosing to worship worthless idols. You can choose to not worship God, but when you choose your idol, you pollute your own life with lies and false beliefs, all the while pretending you know what you’re doing. Living a life without God in it, guarantees a very shallow, insecure, and meaningless existence, with the worst outcome starting at the end. It’s a life wasted on our unwillingness to accept what truth is. It’s no wonder people suffer from mental disorders, lifestyle diseases, and are so angry in the world. If only humanity could accept truth, Hell would be a much more desolate, less populated place.
24 But no! You are less than nothing and can do nothing at all. Those who choose you pollute themselves.
Isaiah 41:24
28 Not one of your idols told you this. Not one gave any answer when I asked. 29 See, they are all foolish, worthless things. All your idols are as empty as the wind.
Isaiah 41:28-29
