    How do you reconcile "the gates of Hell will NOT prevail" with Satan supposedly taking most of mankind to Hell with him?

    No, not everybody has been permitted to hear, let alone believe, in the word of God and in Jesus. I believe that, for most, they will not know Jesus until they pass away and are greeted by him and that they will immediately embrace him. The truly wicked, however, will have a different...

    How do you reconcile "the gates of Hell will NOT prevail" with Satan supposedly taking most of mankind to Hell with him?

    How about this? The U.S. Navy remains on location waiting for those who rejected their help to come to their senses and, eventually, all choose to go to the boats. That's what Jesus does. He waits. That's why Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15 that Jesus MUST rule until ALL of his "enemies"...

    How do you reconcile "the gates of Hell will NOT prevail" with Satan supposedly taking most of mankind to Hell with him?

    Correct. We will not die and will not face judgment, condemnation, nor the Lake of Fire. Others will face those things but not us. However, they do not remain in that state FOREVER.

    I "attack" false doctrine by providing correct doctrine from the scriptures.

    How do you reconcile "the gates of Hell will NOT prevail" with Satan supposedly taking most of mankind to Hell with him?

    My understanding and belief is that the faithful (you and me, my brother) will immediately go to Heaven when we die. I believe this is the fate for most of humanity. The wicked, however, may very well miss out on Heaven and remain dead in the grave or perhaps they are in the Lake of Fire. And...

    How do you reconcile "the gates of Hell will NOT prevail" with Satan supposedly taking most of mankind to Hell with him?

    Let me provide an analogy. A ship sinks in the Atlantic with many Americans onboard. The U.S. sends a rescue team. It's there to save everybody but ESPECIALLY the Americans. Jesus saves all because he is merciful, loving, and CAPABLE of healing all people.

    Your vanity, pride, and ego make you very emotional and preclude you from being able to adjust your theology to what is true.

    How do you reconcile "the gates of Hell will NOT prevail" with Satan supposedly taking most of mankind to Hell with him?

    "...who is the Savior of ALL people..." Your problem is that you are cemented to your false doctrine that Jesus runs a forever concentration camp wherein he beats and tortures people on a daily basis. And then you "lol" at me.

    That's not what it says. It clearly states that Jesus IS the savior of ALL people.

    How do you reconcile "the gates of Hell will NOT prevail" with Satan supposedly taking most of mankind to Hell with him?

    A lot of scriptures states it. Here's one. 1 Timothy 4:10 ESV “For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe. . . ”

    Why do you believe Satan is still around today? (Please read Op)

    This is just one of many reasons that I believe that Satan is still active in the world.

    Why do you believe Satan is still around today? (Please read Op)

    This is why it's normally best to avoid doctrinal discussion with fellow believers, feelings get hurt. It's best to stick with preaching about loving Jesus, following his commandments, and loving one another. May God bless us all my brother.

    Hey you're only supposed to use that insult against me!

    How do you reconcile "the gates of Hell will NOT prevail" with Satan supposedly taking most of mankind to Hell with him?

    In the parable of the lost sheep Jesus described a shepherd that never stopped seeking the lost sheep until ALL are found. Do you believe Jesus gives up? Do the Gates of Hell prevail after all?
