Do more men than women go to hell?

What do you wreckon? Prisons have far more men in them than women so I guess men a more inclined to sin.

It's not a case of just the prison population going to hell.
All mankind is deserving of it. The only out is the redemption which Jesus Christ made possible and our experience of it.

But why? All loving God creates us only to punish us?

I'd say so. But there would also be a good few lesbians there.

All loving God redeemed mankind and bore the punishment we deserved because of our rebellion. A redemption which is available to all but which many choose to reject.

I'm guessing that because more men are in prison women have a different standard of sin applied to them so that an equal number go to hell so that men arent singled out for punishment.

Considering the Final Judgement has not yet happened, does that not indicate that so far, nobody has yet gone to either heaven nor hell?

There's no such thing as Hell. The choice is: ever lasting life or ever lasting extinction. Gender is inconsequential.

Extinction doesn't sound particularly hellish.

I think that's what UB Dude is saying, Canis.

Bzzz! Logic infraction! What you meant to say was ". . . so I guess men are more inclined to engage in the kind of behaviour that we as a society try to control through imprisonment".

Its what Donald Trump would call a yuuuuge leap from that to "sin".

Good morning!

A few things to offer.

It isn't my place to prejudge who is going to heaven or who is going to hell. That is in God's hand.

I'm a sinner. So is everyone else on this forum. In Ireland, in Europe and in the whole world. We aren't saved by our works but only by the saving death and resurrection of Jesus.

What do we need to do? Believe.

John 3:16-18 ESV wrote:

For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him should have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God

So the question for now isn't who is the greater sinner. It isn't even who is most frequently in the church pew.

The question for you is do you believe in Jesus Christ? If the answer is no, what are you looking for?

Much thanks in the Lord Jesus Christ,

Yes the same number of men and women go to hell.

Firstly I wasn't involved in a rebellion. Am I being punished for the acts of others?
Secondly, are you saying that God took our punishment and wants us to follow him/her or else? Isn't that blackmail?

Surely lots of women in the 1930's onwards went to hell for the shame they brought for getting pregnant outside of marriage, after all the catholic church had nothing but contempt for the women and they viewed them as dirty, sinful and shameful.

Also going back further lots of witches went to hell, thats even more women gone to hell as viewed by the church at the time.

The Catholic Church isn't God. Nor is it the final arbiter of what God says. That's why I thank God for the Reformation and access to God's Word in our own language. The Catholic Church also isn't the only church in the world.

God speaks through His Word. The question isn't about sin but about whether you have trusted Jesus for forgiveness. That is open to all who repent.

kbannon - from God's perspective we have all rebelled against Him. That's why God sent His Son. Now, yes you may disagree with what the Bible says but from a Biblical perspective that is where we all stand.

Much thanks in the Lord Jesus Christ,

Ah, you mean gender quotas and "positive discrimination" for women in Hell.
I hadn't though of that, but it is a possibility, I suppose. It depends how PC the regime is there.

I'm well aware that the Catholic church is not the only church in the world, however the OP did not specifically exclude in their question so including the catholic church and its viewpoints towards women in the past is certainly valid.

At the end of the day the women were viewed as sinful or evil (in the case of witches) by the catholic church. This can't be changed.

Well, yes, but what also can't be changed at the end of the day is that the Catholic church did not teach that they were destined for hell (any more than it taught that men sent to prison were destined for hell). The only person in this thread who has said that these women surely" went to hell is in fact you, Cabaal.

The OP isn't really phrased in a way likely to elicit a serious discussion of the variety of Christian perspectives on hell, and most other contributors to the thread have responded in kind.

MOD NOTE

Locking this because it clearly isn't a serious query/discussion.
