He is an all forgiving father, do you really think he'd condemn you to hell for all of eternity for what you do here on earth? If so, why?

The people who go to Hell separated themselves from God of their own free will. That is the horror of Hell, you know; eternal separation from God.

I believe everyone has their own concept of what would be hell for them, and i do think that everyone creates their own hell when they do very evil things, the consciounce has a way of haunting people eventually. Regarding God being a foregiving father he still does not like the evil man do to each other, so the only way they pay for their bad, is punishment from the father, he would condemn them for all eternity, because if he gave them a second chance, they still wouldn't learn, or be any better.

Yep. The Bible calls it the Lake of Fire. And I believe it because I believe the Bible to be true, so if it says so, then yes.
Im an all loving parent, but I dish out punishment when its due. (And before I get emails about how I dont condemn my children to eternal torture, remember I also did not give an opportunity to let anyone in to heaven by the sacrifice of my Son.) Jesus offers us a way to do the one most important thing God asks of us, to know him and be saved. For great reward brings great punishment.
Of course, I could be wrong, the Bible could be mis-interpreted, but on the basis its not, is belief, and my opinion, so there you have it.

well yes but it depends on what we have done if lets just say hypothetically we kill someone but dont ask for forgiveness or have no remorse for killing that person more than likely we will be condemed for eternity in hell. I AM A CHRISTIAN I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A HEAVEN AND A HELL.. I BELIEVE THAT GOD THE FATHER EXISTS AND THAT LUCIFER / SATAN EXIST... YES HE DOES FORGIVE YOU BUT YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE REMORSE FOR PAST SINS WITHOUT REMORSE OF WHAT WE HAVE DONE WE CANT EXPECT TO GO TO HEAVEN WHEN WE HAVE DONE SOMETHING THAT WE DO NOT REGRET....
HOPEFULLY THIS SOMEWHAT HELPS... READ THE BIBLE THE KING JAMES VERSION THATS THE MAIN BIBLE I BELIEVE HASNT CHANGED THE WORDS AS MANY TIMES AS OTHER BELIEFS HAVE OUTSIDE OF CHRISTIAN...

Because life is a test. You are always being tested. And if you sin and never believe in the merciful gift that Jesus gracefully died for that sin and never accepted it to wash you clean of your wrongs then Why NOT get sent to hell? I mean, you have to ask and beleive here as humans; not just ask for it after you die and realize that you are about to be casted to hell. After all those years of being tested you never asked for a re-quiz or second chance through Christ. Why would God allow someone who consistantly reject him, and curse him and deny his existance to stay in heaven until their judgement? That's the whole point of having FAITH in God. Those who beleive without seeing him are rewarded. My favorite verse is 2 Corinthians 4:18......
Fix not your eyes on what is seen, but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, and what is unseen is eternal/forever.
This tells me their is a spiritual world that the human eyes cannot see and for those who have FAITH and beleive and TRUST him will only have the grace of being in heaven.

Hell is a Christian concept with no basis in the Five Books of Moses

To add to "Because the Bible says it exists. Even Jesus said this phrase; the body and soul in hell.", how will the devil and Pharaohs be compensated for their bad deeds and the suppression of the needed ones. Child rapists, torturers paganism spreaders and so on who blocked Gods light and inspiration and mercy to this miserable life.
We will be with Jesus and all of them will be in ???

I need to burn in hell if I don't believe in Him. Why? Because Jesus loves me and is the light of the world. I praise him continuously that's why he made me.( Except when I'm on the shitter, that would be wrong.)

I don't believe in hell.
The wages of sin is death.
The gift of God is eternal life.
We are told that Jesus took our sins upon Himself, and took our punishment. I believe that. But...If the punishment for sin were to be tortured through eternity, wouldn't Jesus have to be twisting in agony in flames somewhere?

I don't believe in Hell, Heaven, the Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, Leprechauns, Santa Claus, or God. Make-believe and superstition..... that's all it is.

Because the Bible says it exists. Even Jesus said this phrase; him who is able to destroy both body and soul in hell.
