160,000 people die every day. What is their eternal destiny?

[IceAndFire1328]

Poll Survey: The World’s Mortality Rate


Over162,000 will die on an average day. Whatis their eternal destiny? Obviously, wehave no idea. However, some people haveestimated that only 7% of the world’s population adheres to the Biblical planof salvation. Even if that estimate istotally wrong and the number is actually 70%, that still means that over 48,000are going to Hell every day.

Whatis the relevancy of these numbers? Should these numbers have any impact on our lives? I’m conducting a poll and would like youropinion on this issue.


Calculations:

World’spopulation: 7.08 billion
​

Alittle less than 1% (0.837%) of the world’s population died last year

7.08 billion x .837% (.00837) = 59,259,600 deaths a year

59,259,600 divided by 365 days = 162,355 deaths a day

162,355 x 30% (.30) = 48,706 people going to Hell

All according to believing that we either go to heaven or hell at death (not so). Also completely ignores the truth that God will give EVERYONE an opportunity to choose life. This is what the second resurrection, the Great White Throne Judgment is all about.

And what about all of the peoples of history who never heard the gospel after Jesus ascended. People in South America, Pacific Islands, etc etc.

So many people have come and gone before Columbus sailed to America.

I believe that Peter asked Jesus, "hey, what were you doing for three days? Just lying around - no pun intended lol Jesus then told Peter about this ... 1 Peter 3:19

And so, Jesus has four more days to seal the covenant with many. A total of seven days or a week. The 70th week to be more precise. First three days of ministering to the unconverted sprits at the first advent. Then the last four days to do the same at the second advent - occurs between Yom Kippur and First day of Tabernacles.

 

[John 8:32]

Well, you and I see this differently and we have discussed it before. My take is that during the Last Great Day, the GWTJ, God gives all who have never had an opportunity a chance to choose life. Anyhoo, we agree on much, disagree on some and I hold you in high regard.

Your poll choices are way too extreme to one side or the other. I voted totally irrelevant because God hasn't given me any kind of gift, talent, or even opportunity to evangelize 160,000 people per day. If I were to consider numbers like this at all relevant to my life, I would just give up altogether. All I can do is be a testimony to those around me by what I say to them as well as how I live around them. God is interested in individuals more than numbers. If in my life I can have a part in showing Christ to one person, then that is what's relevant to me.

Their eternal destiny depends on if they came to faith in Jesus Christ when they were still breathing on this earth. These numbers are heartbreaking. It just shows you what the devil is capable of. ugh..

When so many people say we can't even judge our close personal friends as to whether or not they are saved, I wonder how anyone came up with this number anyway. Probably just a guess I would think.

Right about now this is where @VirginShallConceive would say "Well, you're not acting like you're saved." haha, I love ya kid.

 

[Obadiah]

LOL. I wouldn't know what he would say. ;)

But seriously. Did you ever feel that I was on to something? Or, was I just "up the creek" on some ridiculous whim?

Back to the OP, if you assume all of the prerequisites, it could actually go either way, as far as salvation. But, as long as any decent person feels that there is any chance whatsoever that they have an effect on the outcome, you should see them constantly, frantically trying to save as many souls as they possibly can in their short tenure on this earth.



I know . . . some good things never change. I hope I didn't disappoint you in your "summoning" of me, Urk.

LOL!

God bless you, Obadiah.

GOD BLESS YOU. :chokedup

I must say, "Good topic!", though. My hat goes off to the OP.

48,000?

I don't know. That number alone could spark a lengthy debate, here in Apologetics & Theology.

Now I understand what you were trying to get across. A lot of people die every day without Christ, it's really sad.

LOL! God bless you, Obadiah.

Hehehe. Thanks. I gave up predicting what anyone is going to say about anything a long time ago! :-D
