What will happen to billions of people who are not chosen by God?

@Sathyabo,it's not late. Read the Bible to know that what we have in our lives, the happenings everything were all written in Holy Testament, the Bible. Have a good relationship with the Lord to experience real happiness, salvation, protection, blessings and endless miracles. I love God. Amen to this.

@cacay1 I started to read it recently. This is why I am confused. The idea of hell makes me doubt the existence of God.

I am also waiting for an answer. I am curious to know what will happen.

I think it's also our business because if hell exists we can go there.

@dya80dya, the eternal fire is the eternal place of the sinners, mortal sinners, but since God is a loving God no matter how sinful human can be, if repent and repent and never do wrong again, and accept God as His only Savior, he will surely be forgiven. Don't cast doubt to God to be saved from the wrath of Father in Heaven. Amen.

@sulynsi Some people are saying the opposite. It's confusing because we will never know what is the truth.

@dya80dya I’m attaching a link to help you with that question- I hope you find it helpful

I have a difficult time understanding why his son needed to be murdered so that God can forgive us. He could have forgiven us without that sacrifice.

@dya80dya, Even the nations are like a drop from a bucket, and are accounted as dust on the scales; see, He takes up the isles like fine dust. All the nations are as nothing before Him; they are accounted by him as less than nothing and emptiness (Isaiah 40:15,17).

@dya80dya , yes true if you are not used to read. That was my feeling the first time I started to read the Bible at age 17. I was encouraged to read the Bible because I was always invited by Pastors to join them and be a speaker in their church which they did not know that I haven't read a Bible. That was the beginning of my self's challenge to read the Bible, and thru God's blessings, I was able to read and love reading it from 8 in the morning up to 5 in the afternoon as if I was reading a novel. Then someone told me that I should not read that way for I will never understand the Holy Scriptures, but then again, I did not listen to that person, I continued reading and I reached up to Revelations. Under this, you will be terrified for you will know what will happen to us and the entire cosmos, and most especially the signs of time and learn some hints as when God redeems and how to get salvation. You will meet there in Revelation the 7 spirits of the Lord, the holders of the Trumpet that once God orders the holder to blow something bad would happen in a particular scenario like Plane crashing, Boat sinking, wars, earthquakes, and only 2 holders of the trumpet who haven't blown yet. Those two trumpets when blown would almost mean the Second Coming of the son of God, Jesus Christ.

It's true. But in my opinion, God was unfair because he killed everyone. After that, He started to regret it. And they weren't tormented forever then. And I have another question. Is there any proof that the flood was real?

@cacay1 All this is very confusing.

@dya80dya I agree what Bible says but is their any basis upon which such division have been made

@abhinalstrikr Yes. People who don't believe in Jesus and God will not be chosen. Even if some people are good they will burn in hell.

I think this too, but the Bible says that some people will be chosen and others will be condemned forever.

@dya80dya, yes God is a loving and merciful God.

@dya80dya, that's why read the Bible to know whether there's heaven or hell. Those in hell are sinners, murderes, cheaters,liars, sexually immorals and we are judged according to our deeds ( Read Revelation).Have a strong relationship with the Lord to experience salvation from eternal fire.Those righteous, who repent and accept God as the only Savior will have eternal life in God's paradise. It's not yet late to know our Almighty God, the creator of the universe and everything that's on it. Amen.

If God is merciful He will not burn people in hell forever. Right?

@dya80dya I think it was Paul who claimed to be divinely inspired. It is true from our viewpoint that it looks like good people experience hell here on earth. But we also have to understand that different people have different capabilities and different limitations. The good can go through great suffering without complaining about it whereas the evil people seem to be enjoying life but inward, they are always in a state of unrest. They are never at peace. Who originally invented the concept of hell is not known to us. But the church has kept on preaching that hell is meant for unbelievers. This is pure nonsense because even Bible does not back it up. Jesus does not say it anywhere. And anyway, there are too many contradictions in the Bible that it cannot be considered as evidence.

Your point of view is interesting. Who is the author who claimed he was divinely inspired? Sometimes good people experience hell on this earth. And evil people aren't punished here. Maybe this is why they had to invent this concept of hell.

The bible says that only a few people will be chosen.

@dya80dya I do, I believe that.

@dya80dya" Even the nations are like a drop from a bucket, and are accounted as dust on the scales; see, He takes up the isles like fine dust. All the nations are as nothing before Him; they are accounted by him as less than nothing and emptiness (Isaiah 40:15,17)."

So do you think that all people will be chosen?

@dya80dya God is Dad who says he will get the belt if us kids don't behave.

I agree with you. We should do good things because it's the right thing to do. Maybe this idea of hell is only trying to scare people. The earth can definitely be hell for some people.

If we don't worship God we will go to hell. At least the bible says this. The atheists will go to hell and they will be tormented forever only because they don't believe in God.

@dya80dya , That happens to people who do not obey God. Life is what we make it and everything is written in the Bible to aware all creations God laws . If people are tormented, they lack faith. They are tormented because of their own doings not from God for God does not want His children to suffer. That is why there is bad and good Karma.

@cacay1 If they lack faith this is because they don't have enough proof. Some people have visions or dreams and God reveals Himself. But others ask for signs and nothing happens. They ask, they seek and they don't find. I am such a person. Why is God hidden?

Would a loving God create a place where people will be tormented forever? I am trying to understand this.

But why someone who doesn't believe in God should dwell in hell? There is not enough proof for God's existence. And a murderer who believes in God will be in heaven if he repents? And a good person who doesn't believe in God will be in hell? Only because he/she doesn't believe?

@dya80dya (Remember) when your Lord extracted from the loins of Adam’s children their descendants and made them testify (saying): ‘Am I not your Lord?’ They said: ‘Yes, we testify to it.’ (This was) in case you say on the Day of Judgment: ‘We were unaware of this.’ Or you say: ‘It was our ancestors who worshipped others besides God and we are only their descendants. Will you then destroy us for what those liars did’?”

@dya80dya What if one does a crime and says he is not going to believe in the law of that country, will the court make him free or should he punished for his crime
