Conundrum, enigma, puzzle etc... solve this please =)

Looking for feedbacks after she went to the talk (rujuk : Alhamdulillah... step one... 16/02/2006) I decided to have a nice chat with her (conveniently, dia dok sblah aku aritu)... Long story short, one thing lead to another and we ended up discussing about her beliefs... I asked her whether she's happy being a Christian... and her answer slightly shocked me... "I wouldn't call myself a Christian," she said... "I have got a few issues that I don't agree with Christianity..." I said to myself, ada harapan nih... and i asked, "For instance?"...

"For instance why would an Al-Forgiving God banish someone to an eternity of sufferings (i.e. hell)?"... "But I do belief that God exists and Jesus is the son of God... and that we should all live to please God etc" more or less what she said...

At that point I have got a few pointers in mind, and trying to decide whether to defend the concept of Hell or not... Decided not to in the end (or rather put the idea on hold); fearing insufficient knowledge that could potentially end up with her having even stronger grip on her belief that I definitely know is wrong... In other words, fearing not being able to explain to her clearly... nasib baik dia tgh cakap psal Christianity, bole escape kejap...

She fell sick later that day, not terribly shocking as she did sneeze quite a lot before then (although still cheerful)

So bros & sis(s), camner ek nk citer? I have got a few ideas but would rather not share them with you to maintain authenticity of your answer(s)... when answering, keep in mind siapa dia and kepercayaan dia...

Syukran jazilan in advance... aku ada rasa cam aura2 yg ada cahaya di hujung terowong utk dia... insya Allah...

P/S - ym bole, skype bole, mana2 pun bole...

God (Allah) is truly the most forgiveness,we seldom thank God for His upmost forgiveness. Besides, do we even know how merciful and loving God is?
Tell her, to not being amoung the ones that God disdains,disfavors..we should all stick to being the people who god love most..
In our current life,even the most loving person(with great mind) on earth would still agree with punishments that should be put set on people who 'have been bad', so that peace shall prevail...same understanding goes to the punishment that God puts on, so that..human beings do good deeds,spread peace,love and care and etc2 that are surely preffered by nature..
Convince her on good deeds should replace the bad ones (in Islam)..

after all those, be sure to be firm in convincing her most of all about aqeedah!..may Allah blesses her hidaayah..
