If a person chooses to live a life of sin and separation from God, then they have chosen to spend eternity in hell.

For centuries, the chances that a person born in East Asia would become Christian were practically nonexistent. There must be billions of their souls destined for the lake of fire, if Rev. is literally true. Is that justice, in your opinion?

Because the very definition of hell is the absence and separation from God.

What about the burning in torment. Do you believe that is a reality for those who chose poorly?

Decision is made way above my feeble understanding of justice.

I, for one, and not counting on justice, but mercy.

As for those who have not heard of Jesus, I do not know. What God will do on the day of judgement is for God alone to know. I have faith that God who is perfect will do right on judgement day. That is enough for me.

As for torment, since God is all that is good, and hell is separation from God, it stands to reason that hell is the place without any good. No love, no hope, no peace, no joy, ... left only with regret, loss, knowing what they missed out on by their choices ... that sounds like torment to me. The agony of the heart is far more painful than of the body.

And yes, I do believe that is the future for those that do not accept God’s mercy through Jesus.
