This question assumes that God sends people to hell against their will. But this is not the case. God desires everyone to be saved. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 Those who are not saved do not will to be saved. Read what Jesus pleaded about the people of Israel. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing. Matthew 23:37 God is just and he must punish sin. But he is also love, and his love cannot force others to love him. Love cannot work coercively but only persuasively. Forced love is a contradiction in terms. Sinful man chooses on his own to go to hell when he decides to push away God and his plan of salvation through his Son.
