Do you believe that God loves you? Do you believe in Hell?...?

Question

how can the two coexist?

Answer 1

No God worthy of the name....no God known for mercy, goodness, forgiveness, understanding...would EVER allow a Hell to exist.

If God exists, there is no Hell.

If Hell exists, there is no God.

Answer 2

Yes I believe God loves me and Yes I believe in hell. It is because of Gods love and Jesus that I do not have to fear hell. God is also a just God. Do you think if you are good that others should get the same priviledges that you have when they may have murdered, raped or molested someone? Justice is what seperates the saved from the lost in relation to heaven and hell.

Answer 3

Yes on both counts. God is love. God does not want us to sin but we do it anyway. So how can we have the freedom to choose what we want and still have a loving God? If you have kids, if not, you may someday so this is for you there too, do you let them just run wild and do whatever they want to do with no consequences? Don't you try to teach them by restricting them from doing things they like to let them know how wrong the choices made were? How can you do that if you really love them? How can you make rules that if they do not follow, they do not get what they really want? What is your number one thing you just love to do? Now what is the number one thing you just hate the most and would loathe even thinking of having to do or be? Now if God told you that if you did what He asked, you could have that thing that you love the most and be happy for all eternity but if you chose to do those things He said is wrong, you would not get that but would have to go to the place you hated the most but it is all YOUR choice as to what you CHOOSE to do. Now you get to thinking that some of the things God said was not good, really looks like a lot of fun and it is a lot of fun for a while. Sin would not be sin if it were not fun and would not have the pull on us that it has. So you choose to do the things God said were bad and you really enjoyed it for a while but finally it came time to answer for what you chose to do. Now YOU chose to do the WRONG, so who's fault is it that you did that, who's decision was it that you did what God said was wrong? Was that God's doing? No, it was YOUR doing. YOU chose the action so YOU chose the consequence. If you are not really happy doing what God says is the right and good thing to do, will you be happy in Heaven where you will be doing that all the time? Not hardly. So what is it that a loving God would do? Force you to go to Heaven? No, that would be Satan's way. If you look, it says that Hell was not made for man but for Satan and his followers. Matt. 25:41. WE have the CHOICE of either following what God says or go with what Satan and his angels say. If we follow God, we get to go to Heaven and we are trusted with eternal life but if we choose to follow Satan, is that God's doing? No, it is our own CHOICE. So God does the only thing a loving God can do and lets us have the thing we choose. Most will teach that you will burn for all eternity, eternal life in Hell. But where is that in the bible? I have offered $10,000 for many years now for one text that says that and nobody has yet come forward to collect it. It just is not there. you are burned up, turned to ashes, you die the second death. So how can the two co-exist? Very easy. A loving God has to let you take the consequences for your CHOICE, whether it be Heaven and eternal life, or Hell fire and eternal death. Check out the site below for more info.

Answer 4

I am not sure about HOW God loves. I think God is a spirit and wants us to love the way that our brains are capable of doing but we have thrown zillions of emotions, issues, prejudices, etc. into the mix so now our interpretation of God's love is completely convaluded.

I don't think that God controls everything the way many of us thinik he does. I think that most of the stuff here on earth is either us creating it or just the way it is. Such as, if two people have cancer, one gets prayed for and survives, the other doesn't, I just think it's the body, mind and determination of that one person, not the fact that they were prayed for. make sense?

Answer 5

God is the Most Merciful and He only wants to see good for His Creation.

But if we believe He is our Lord and then we continuously disobey Him without asking for forgiveness or trying harder to become better - then it only makes sense that it is like a punishment. If He hadn't warned us of the punishment, that would be unfair, or if He hadn't outlined exactly what can equal to disobeying Him, that would be unfair. But He is not unjust, so He has clearly written all the things to abstain from (not many) and those things to do instead (good things) and then I think it's fair. But it doesn't mean everyone will go to Hell - He will be the fair judge in that. :)

Answer 6

Yes, I believe God loves me. He loves you too. I also believe in Hell. Hell was created for the Devil and his angels. However, man has been given a free will and if man chooses to follow the Devil he must go to where the Devil was meant to dwell.

Answer 7

I believe in God but not a literal hell

Answer 8

Yes, I know God loves me, it is evidenced by everything around us and by the wonderful blessings to come...
I believe there are 3 kingdoms, Celestial, Terrestial and Telestial. Also an "outer darkness" but very few souls will go there...

Answer 9

Yes I KNOW God loves me, I also have accepted His Son Jesus and received the Holy Spirit.
I do believe in Hell... but I am hoping it is NOT a burning FIRE..
but life w/out God.

I am not worried.. God is in my HEART.. there IS a God, I KNOW IT!!!!

Answer 10

I do believe that God loves me and he loves you, too.

Hell is a place where all the no believers will go when the Lord Jesus Christ comes back.
