"Why would hell recruit when everything is already determined?"

Answer #2.

Who said that hell was recruiting?

All men who are not graciously saved by the power of God are already bound for hell. The devil loves company (he is not lord of hell, hell is his punishment as well), and hates God so much that he mistakenly thinks that he can hurt God and confound God's purposes.

Jerry, I will not even deal with number two because I think it demeans the discussion. It can be used as a hidden insinuation against those who are christian brothers/sisters. Would YOU ever use it that way? I'm sure not. Therefore, it isn't becoming to even address it.

What do YOU think the bible teaches on the subject?
