“Truth is discovered, not invented. It exists independent of anyone’s knowledge of it. (Gravity existed prior to Newton.)”
― Norman L. Geisler, I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist

“It is true that God desires all men to be saved (2peter 3-9), but that they have to choose to love him and believe in him. Now God cant force anyone to love him. Forced love is a contradiction in terms.

Love must be free: it is a free choice. So in spite of God's desire, some men do not choose to love him. All who go to hell do so because of their free choice. They may not want to go to hell, But they do will it.
They make the decision to reject God, even though they don’t’ desire punishment.

People don’t go to hell because God sends them; they choose it and God respects their freedom.”
― Norman L. Geisler, When Skeptics Ask: A Handbook on Christian Evidences

“There’s a difference between proving a proposition and accepting a proposition. We might be able to prove Christianity is true beyond reasonable doubt, but only you can choose to accept it. Please consider this question to see if you are open to acceptance: If someone could provide reasonable answers to the most significant questions and objections you have about Christianity—reasonable to the point that Christianity seems true beyond a reasonable doubt—would you then become a Christian? Think about that for a moment. If your honest answer is no, then your resistance to Christianity is emotional or volitional, not merely intellectual. No amount of evidence will convince you because evidence is not what’s in your way—you are. In the end, only you know if you are truly open to the evidence for Christianity.”

“The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell.”
― C.S. Lewis
