一个慈爱的上帝怎么会把人送进地狱？
How could a loving God send people to hell?
简答 Short Answer
上帝不是要把人送进地狱——祂差遣祂的儿子来拯救人脱离地狱。拒绝这份救恩是人自己的选择，上帝尊重这个选择。
God doesn't want to send people to hell — He sent His Son to save people from it. Rejecting that salvation is a person's own choice, and God respects it.
详细解答 Detailed Answer
这个问题假设上帝是主动把人推进地狱的，但圣经的图景完全不同。上帝竭尽所能来拯救人——祂差遣先知、赐下圣经、最终差遣自己的儿子为我们死。
地狱不是上帝任意施加的惩罚，而是人拒绝上帝的自然结果。如果上帝是一切美善的源头——爱、喜乐、美、真理——那么与上帝永远隔绝就意味着失去这一切。这就是地狱。
问题不是「一个慈爱的上帝怎么会允许地狱」，而是「一个公义的上帝怎么会允许有罪的人进天堂」。答案是：通过十字架。上帝的慈爱和公义在基督里完美地和解了。
This question assumes God actively pushes people into hell, but the biblical picture is completely different. God does everything possible to save — He sent prophets, gave Scripture, and ultimately sent His own Son to die for us.
Hell is not an arbitrary punishment God imposes but the natural consequence of rejecting God. If God is the source of all good — love, joy, beauty, truth — then eternal separation from God means losing all of these. That is hell.
The real question isn't 'how could a loving God allow hell' but 'how could a just God allow sinful people into heaven.' The answer: through the cross. God's love and justice are perfectly reconciled in Christ.
