There is no doubt that Hell exists - Jesus talked about Hell more than Heaven. But what percentage go to Hell? It is certainly more than 0% and less than 100%, but where in between?
| Percentage who go to Hell | Basis |
|---|---|
| 90% | Jesus emphasized how few would make it to Heaven, and personally set a very high standard. |
| 80-90% | Not everybody who goes to church or professes belief in Christ will go to Heaven, adding onto by the number of people who are overtly not Christian at all. Jesus's parable about not recognizing some who use his name reinforces this. |
| 66% | The parable of the wheat and the chaff suggests that there is too much chaff (people headed for Hell) to pull up before harvest without displacing some of the wheat. |
| 50% | Many important issues split about 50/50, such as evolution, abortion and global warming. |
| 10% | A small proportion, because God who is merciful is also just. The Gospels of Mark and Matthew indicate that all sins can be forgiven except for blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Some people will be lost, therefore. |
| 0% | The position held by the false doctrine of Universalism and technically by Annihilationism |
