... would you collect your failures and keep them at home beside your good accomplishments.

Yes. Our children will always have a home here, whether they are "good" or "bad".
​
What percentage of your house would you give up if as some think there are more failures than successes.
​
20%.

If evil is as rampant as some believe your 20% might not fit.
​
Did you forget your own question already? In Message 19, you asked:
​
quote:
... would you collect your failures and keep them at home beside your good accomplishments.
​
I answered, "Yes I would." The number 20% is arbitrary. The point is that your assumption is wrong. God probably would reserve part of His house for the failures of His children, just as I do reserve part of my house for my children, pass or fail.
​
Your argument against Hell fails.
