"The critical issue is this: Can the human will resist God forever, especially if God is actively pursuing that person? Can the human will resist God's active grace for all of eternity?"

For me, David Bentley Hart answers these questions with a resounding and compelling "No!" in his marvellous book That All Shall Be Saved.

Modern science is making it more clear that people make choices based on factors that range from genetics, their environment, childhood experiences, mental health, and other factors that individuals cannot control. To say that God will eternally punish people based on choice, and yet create humans that can be molded by that which is out of their control seems absurd. The discussion around heaven and hell should take these realities into consideration.
