Now, will I ever see a response to my question about the reason God created hell if He knew men would make poor choices to go there? I'd love to here an Arminian response to this. I can't find one on their website. I have been waiting a lot longer.

Sure you have.

Hell was created for the devil and his angels.

Now maybe your question should really be, *Why did God create man if He knew that man would make poor choices and end up there?*

And maybe the Calvinists could also explain why God created man in the first place if it was His plan to send most of them there? Doesn't that then mean that hell was created for not only the devil and his angels but men also? Did God neglect to tell us that?

Are you saying that God changed His mind about the purpose of hell? That He planned to cast ONLY the devil and his angels in there and later decided to cast the wicked?

And maybe the Calvinists could also explain ...

I believe I have been very clear, more than fair, and have posted many references. I have answered all of these questions several times. If you truly would like answers to these questions I would suggest monergism.com which contains a wealth of teaching.

In looking back you and CB have stated indirectly:

These are the positions you have taken. Please address any issues you feel are incorrect.
