Christians, how can you be satisfied with the tens of millions of people supposedly currently burning in Hell?

Well, everyone is ignoring the elephant in the room, but I won't.

I was raised to believe "everyone has/had a chance to hear the gospel."

But do/did they really? Easy to say, but is the statement logical?

When was Christ born? Fairly recently in the history of man.

Where did the "unrepentant souls" go before Christ died for sins?

Apparently straight to hell. Why? I dunno. 'Cuz they rejected the gospel.

When was contact established with the Western Hemisphere, the arctic regions, and the far flung islands of the Pacific? I dunno, but whoever lived there before the birth of Christ & the arrival of European explorers got the short end of the stick. Sucks for them. How many went to hell?

All of 'em 'cuz they were born in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Did they get born there on purpose? Yep! Hard headed sinners.

Today there are "no contact tribes" in the Amazon, whom we do not molest with our presence since they lack immunity to many of the diseases we carry--- measles, mumps, small pox, ect. European diseases decimated the American Native population, via efforts to "preserve their souls."

So John, you have few logical options available to you:

1. Believe that a loving creator would damn the majority of his beloved to eternal suffering, which really comes across as illogical & twisted.

2. Realize the bible has a number of very interesting contradictions, backflips, summersaults & reverses, most of which require convoluted explanations tantamount to shoddy translations & shoddy scholarship.

Your average Christian bumpkin doesn't understand their own religion, because the difficult questions are never addressed on Sunday, or on any other day. "To question" becomes a sin itself. They call it "doubt."

There are 33,000 Christian sects. Why? It seems they cannot agree even among themselves on "the truth." Same bible. What's the problem?

How do Hell Believing Christians resolve "Why send billions of people to hell who never heard the gospel?" Some argue that everyone DID hear it (liars), while others will simply exclaim, "it's Gods will." The phrase for that is "blind faith." Lots of murdering got done via that neat trick.

Christians, how can you be satisfied with the tens of millions of people supposedly currently burning in Hell?

- It gives them a thrill.

Especially the ones that never even got a chance to learn about Jesus?

- Like they care.

Shouldn't all christians be desperately pleading with God to save these damned souls and end their suffering?

- They are screaming hatred on street corners, why would they care about people already dead.

Do you believe that God is loving?

Do you believe that God is Just?

Do you believe that God is merciful?

Do you believe that such a God could ever even create such a horrific thing as hell, let alone ever, ever send anyone there?

Neither do I.

I wouldn't be. And I don't think that God would be. That's why in one of the major Creeds recited in Christian Churches, the Apostles Creed, it states Christ "descended into Hell". Some of the Church Fathers, reflecting on this statement like St Cyril of Alexandria, speaks of how in his descent Christ conquered Hell and "left the Devil alone and abandoned".

What we essentially see is that God in the Easter narrative displays solidarity and co-suffering love for humanity and creation by willing coming down into the depths of human suffering and the depths of Hell itself in order to redeem and restore humanity and creation as a whole.

"Especially the ones that never even got a chance to learn about Jesus?"

Never hearing about Jesus is NOT automatic damnation.

We can be "satisfied" because those that are damned are damned of their own choosing.

Also, you have no idea of the number of people in hell.

Christians known as Jehovah's Witnesses would never be satisfied with the billions of people supposedly burning in hell. Before us, neither Jesus Christ nor Jehovah God would ever be satisfied with the billions of people supposedly burning in hell, so we Christians don't need to plead with God to save souls supposedly burning in hell, for whose salvation He has already provided.

Hell is not cast into the fire until all the dead are delivered from it, and they are not judged until then, either:

"13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." - Revelation 20 (KJV)

Further, the wicked are not sentenced until they are judged, and their sentence is not to hell, but to the same sentence hell received!

No one in hell is complaining how unfair it is.

God is just. That means everyone will get EXACTLY what they deserve: no more and no less.

Only tens of millions? I was sure it was in the billions. Guess heaven has lowered it's standards. Lucky for me.

perfect justice for rejecting the truth

Satisfied with people burning in Hell? Of course not! But once you die, it's too late. Praying for them would be worse than ineffectual. Better to concentrate on those who are still alive and help them see the path to salvation!
