Relative has abandoned the faith
My sister in-law grew up in Church with all of her siblings, and has since abandoned her faith.
She caims that God is love, there is nothing to fear about where you end up, because a loving God would not send people to Hell and the below things.
How should we give Rebuttals to:
-all roads leading to heaven
-spirituality over religion (christianity)
-God is love and doesn't send people to Hell
-Hell does not exist
-One's soul and its eternal destination is not something to ever be concerned over.
-Answers to people who never hear the Gospel, how do they get saved?
A: She was likely a false convert all along. She went to church since your family did, and was not around christian friends, and also not reading Scripture regularly. Plus, She likely went to public school, listened to non Christian and atheist friends there and [if young] got in a cesspool area of social media's false content that duped & decieved her. She believed Satan's lies over God [the Word] & the pastor's preaching. She never asked the pastor or youth leader those questions, and never sought godly counsel. So.... she looked to the unreputable places in the world to get her information.
Those are ALL the same nonsense excuses or objections the world gives by those who love to live in sin and wallow in it. They arent saved so they gravitaye to and focus on worldly things. And because things arent perfect they blame God...and try to stand in judgment over Him. We can minister to the lost the same way we always do, with the truth in God's revealed word, and with patience, love and graciousness.
Helps:
1. This should have individual links to answer the below.

You can craft a caring careful email to her and let her know you wanted to know the answers to these questions too since theyre fairly common and this is what you found...
-all roads leading to heaven
-spirituality over religion (christianity)
-God is love and doesn't send people to Hell
-Hell does not exist
-One's soul and its eternal destination is not something to ever be concerned over.
-Answers to people who never hear the Gospel, how do they get saved.
2. Try to get her to at least watch the videos here.

Theres a fantastic bonus link in there to the bibles reliability and evidences section she can investigate further if she desires.
3.
You can send her the full main link to the #1 above to help her answer other curiosities and questions, after she reviews the first things you send her.
4. Text her you "sent an email". But do it on a evening you know she's home and at a time she would likely sit to look through it.
Go thru the linked answers yourself too, in case she does bring up something or ask genuinely.
*I am one who shares the gospel, and deals with apologetics [not the highest levels, but I have been street witnessing and online since 2002].
Feel free to dm me anytime to get guidance, direction, resources, etc to help minister to her. And both of us need to pray: she will be open to examine these things you send her, that God will draw her, and that she will be open minded and actually check out the things you send her.
🌟You can also buy the books and the actual dvd series noted in #2 and keep them at your place on the coffee table and next to the tv so when she comes over, you can watch one and lend her any of the books.
Keep her in daily prayer. Even if it takes her till 70 to get saved, dont lose hope. Love on her. Radiate Christ. 👉🙏Ensure you are living a godly life she cant pick on to call you a hypocrite [and keep her further from God].
God bless!
