I think the main issue with this line of reasoning is that most view Hell as an eternal state of misery made by God for sinners.
If that is true then why would a loving God create so many knowing they would suffer for the rest of eternity?
If you knew that 1 out of 100,000,000 of your children would eternally burn would you even have children to begin with?
Under that scenario it seems infinitely unloving to me.

Only Christ’s righteousness can get you into heaven. Your own is at best a filthy rag that will send you to hell.

Why God does what He does is beyond our finite understanding.

We reason from a human point of view, God’s point of view is different. In Genisis it says he made man in his image, I. e. Representation, he is making a representation of himself in this physical universe, we are here to represent Him, its not just about going to heaven, this is the front line in this battle, here, now.

You’ve missed the point so badly.

Hell is not a cosmic prison. Hell is not about punishment.
Hell is the unfortunate consequences of a sinful life. It’s like a person overdosing after a life of drug addiction. Hell is basically our overdose. But you shouldn’t punish people for being addicted; instead, you need to rehabilitate them. That is what Christ is for.

If lucifer is expelled from heaven because of sin, others want to enter heaven with sin. How’s is that??? They want to be saved but they don’t want to obey God, so how’s is that

Great OP questions. Thank you for disproving calvinism.
-
The better question is why did he make us to begin with? Once you answer that the other questions fall into place

They are no longer guilty their price was paid. Jesus paid the price for those that trust in him.

The terrifying truth is God is good.

And how does all this relate to Christian apologetics?
