" Hell is real. Most of us are going there. The only place that I vary from the aforementioned doctrine being that after the sinner has undergone sufficient punishment, which balances his deeds "

The only one way ticket from going to hell is placing your trust, hope, life and soul in the only way God planed it.

GRACE, and GRACE ALONE.

Jesus Christ, " I am THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE, no man can come to the father, but by me "

A unsaved sinner, those in whom have not accepted, or believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for their savlation will be punished for their sins.

Remember ? It's the blood atonement, nothing else, that God wants, and sees.

Jesus Christ, behold, the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

Jesus Christ, the " PASS OVER LAMB "

Those who were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world ?

The bible tells us that we were crucifided in Christ, with Christ, buried with Christ, and once and for all rose with Christ.

All our sins, those who are in Christ " HAVE BEEN " already have been punished in another, another body, the body of Christ.

Our sins have been punished by God if you are in christ.
God's judgement has passed over you.

So now ? when God looks at you ? you have fullfilled all of the law, since Jesus Christ fullfilled ALL of the law.
Romans chapter 8 verse 1

Therefore, there is now condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

Before someone says " yeah, but it warns those who are waling in the flesh " ....

Yes, the flesh can also mean, sins, lust, so on and so on, but, those are the fruits of walking in the flesh.

What does Paul mean here by walking in the flesh ?

Is ? Human effort... carnal means, fleshly, meaty.
That's were we get the word, Carniverious.... i.e. carnal.

To walk in the flesh means, human reasoning, human self righteiousness, human self efforts without the help from God and God's holy spirit..... a religious persons .. i.e. Keeping the law thinking it will win your salvation.

Walking in the spirit ?
Walking in the spirit of grace.

And anyone who thinks that all of this is gibberish ?
You are walking in the carnality of your mind, and not walking in the spirit of Grace.
For the natural mind can not and will not understand the things of the spirit of God.

Certain people are simply damned no matter what they do. You know that. St. Augustine says that, John Calvin says that, the bible says that. Very few-according to Jesus-are going to heaven. You had better worry about your odds of getting there as the probability of going to heaven is very low.(The meaning of Christs own words).How can you be sure your belief is sufficient as not everyone saying Lord! Lord! is going to enter heaven.

When read closely Christianity is not a happy religion. It worships and advocates pain, agony, suffering, cuts, bruises, beatings. burnings, misery, disease, hunger,cruel and vicious deaths with eternal suffering thereafter.
