Reporting here:There is so much discussion on this topic,but a very terse comment. All of mankind has been asked to repent and accept Christ. Of course,as it says in the Book this seems 'foolish' to man and it does.
All are considered imperfect,but some obtain forgivenss and others want nothing of it or the book or God either,etc. It is a free choice as it is presented.
This goes back to early man that fell. He was not meant to die,but went against God,etc.The earth was given to man to do as he pleased. He chose to live without God and it's effects are clearly seen in each generation. In each generation some choose to believe and ask for forgiveness and get converted which means their 'inner energy' person or soul is regenerated.the body,of course, is left untouched and this when we see misdeeds from all. Others do not believe.
At death the converted go to a place called heaven and those who do not accept go to hades. This is not based on works of good deeds,etc. It is acceptance of Christ as given in the NT.
"For God so loved man that He gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not be eternaly lost[in hades] ,but should have everlasting life."I know how it seems or looks. Reject and go for it or accept and go for it,but it is free or no cost,but many won't as it says for various reasons.

Death will prove this right or wrong for each person.
