1 Tim. 4:10, "For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers."

1 John 2:2, "and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world."

1 John 4:14, "And we have beheld and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world."

Thanks for those verses. I find them more in keeping with how I think of a loving Father.

The idea of an eternal Hell for any human soul never seemed just or merciful.

Eternity is a long time and God is just. I'm sure He's got it all under control.

For the record, I am also sure that having known the babies in the womb, God surrounds himself with the aborted children and those who passed too young to know the truth. Those are my personal views and do not reflect the teachings of my church or even the Bible. But I can not envision God doing anything but gathering the children to his knee.

God is a God of love; He IS Love. But don't forget that He is also JUST. HE doesn't send people to hell. We send ourselves by refusing the gift of His Son.
